I was really looking forward to @UCF with 2 cousins that went there and live in FL and now my parents snowbird there. But it wouldn’t have been the whole family and other travel partners weren’t going to do it due to Thanksgiving, so it fell through. Glad it didn’t work out I guess, but sad we are 4-7 going into it rather than the hoped for 10-1…[Read more]

I think it’s not 1 thing. I think it’s the combination of turf, strength and conditioning, UA, scheme, altitude, Whit apparently sold something to the devil, and perhaps fluoride in the water ;). These fellas just aren’t living right off the field. I mean, MB with the scooter accident last year that kept him out? Brandon Rose with a lacerated…[Read more]

They have decent recruiting talent yet are 4-7 like we are. I know 2 of my cousins went there 10+ years ago and their mascot is a Knight. Sometimes, a launch out of Cape Canaveral takes place during a game and the stadium is situated so you can see it pretty well, so that’s cool.

None of the qbs changed positions nor put on a lot of weight (like to be a LB or TE). But this could be true of some of the other position players. That comes back to strength and conditioning (and flexibility). Cue TB12 Tom Brady …

He’s not. Backup at Vandy

Agree. He’s raised his stock and might actually be draftable or UDFA.

T-2 at 8-4. My best week ever I think! And I have no memory of who I picked. For the season I’m 56%, so only slightly above literal pick ’em.

You earn a ton of points with teammates and coaches for doing the dirty work. He’s already loved, but doing your job even without the stats is a mark of a competitor.

In addition to some workhorse RBs, I’d position that it’s better to pay a little less and get 3 medium/3-star backs but pay money to OL. Some systems can plug and play decent RBs with a great line rather than having to have a good line with an outstanding RB (which are in high demand and have to stay healthy).

If you build from the trenches out,…[Read more]

While an agree, I feel Calhoun is always being targeted in the big moments. But has the potential. Where Vaughn I cringe

I don’t know what the contract is but the rumors were that the Sparks were willing to pay to to $2 million per year.

Not big enough. Do we really want:
– Army or Tulane
– Miami or SMU
– BYU or CU
– Oregon
– Jacksonville State
– ND?
– Miami (OH)
– Boise St
– Washington St?
– Texas
– Marshall
and 1 at-large (maybe two if PAC-2 doesn’t count) from above + Ohio St., Penn St., Indiana, UGA, Bama, Tenn, Ole Miss, TAMU

That’s why 1 from the G5 is likely enough. Rare…[Read more]

Exactly what Miami said.

Going to coach in the pros, gets a hefty raise, no longer has to recruit/deal with NIL, and gets to go home to California. A no-brainer for the coach.

The new coach, Gavin Peterson, has been an assistant at the University for all of Roberts’ time here and he has been the Associate Head Coach for five (going on six…[Read more]

I would say the committee sees the Big 12 and ACC as MWC/AAC +1 loss. In other words, an 12-1 or 11-2 champ in Big 12 and ACC is equivalent to a 13-0 or 12-1 MWC/AAC champ. The loss for MWC/AAC has to be to someone good, while there is a little more forgiveness for Big12/ACC. Look at Miami or SMU – it’s clear whoever wins the champ will be either…[Read more]

Bowl games (non playoff) are now trash. A quarter (at least) of most teams are in the portal, declare for the draft, or opt out. I just told someone it’s stupid to bet on bowl games at all because you don’t know who will actually be playing.

It was nice to have the 8-1 bowl record under Whit or whatever it was, but that was the old regime of…[Read more]

If so, what is the ‘walk into the sunset’ year next year? 8-5 with a bowl win? CCG? Until his contract is up, what’s not for him to say, “ooh, we were really close and we have a couple more pieces to …”?

Calhoun had the ball in his hands in that last 2 minutes of the y game and probably would have had it. And won the game. Ugh

I think every team should study how they are doing it at Pitt. You get possibilities (maybe some baseline assurance) but not paid until the end of the season. At least that’s how I understand it. Keeps you hungry. Not totally incentive based, but does ensure those that should contribute, contribute and surprises get a piece as well.

who knows. For me, it’s hard to distinguish between valuation and what they might actually be getting
