The Miami Ute

It’s not only that they’re 1-6, but they’re a bad 1-6. They’ve looked like trash in almost every one of their games. FSU picked a horrible time to give Mike Norvell a massive EIGHT YEAR extension at ~$10M per season during this offseason. That makes for an eye-watering buyout.

USC and Oklahoma are the new Nebraskas. They better start overpaying recruits but even that might not help them.

I can’t see the TDS going undefeated. They’ve already had two very near misses (SMU and OSU) and I can’t imagine that they have any more Mulligans left. Plus, being undefeated, they’re going every team’s best shot from here on in.

I’m doing a two for one. Going to see the UHC vs Bruins and immediately going to RES to catch the remainder of the TCU game. I should get there no later than halftime. Hopefully it will be a good game.

You are what your record says you are. I never thought I’d see the day where I’d say that Sitake has done a better coaching job than Whitt.

They most certainly do this year. They’re playing with house money at this point.

Looks like only Utah stands in the way of a BYU undefeated season.

Only 19 seconds….

As the late, great Howard Cosell once said “What a football game this turned out to be!”

WTF? Does Bowman have money on BYU?

LOL, BYU’s run defense is a sieve…

Not necessarily…keep the ball in Ollie’s hands and good things will happen. Plus Retzlaff is playing like the second coming of Jon Hays.

Retzlaff sucks…incredible that BYU is undefeated so far…a mediocre to bad OSU team is making them look extremely pedestrian. Guess the TDS were reading their press clipping in the Deseret News and thought they could win just by rolling a helmet onto the field.

I was about to say, Ollie Gordon with one of the most athletic moves I’ve seen this season. Looks like he’s the TDS’s kryptonite.

As the famed American philosopher David Lee Roth once said, money doesn’t buy you happiness but it can get you the parking spot next to it.

Phil Knight is worth over $36B…no collective anywhere will ever outbid Oregon if there’s a guy out there that they really want.

You know, now that players can leave programs whenever they want as many times as they want, don’t you think that schools should be able to cut or let go players who haven’t performed adequately? It’s a brutal concept because, for a lot of these guys, there’s no way that they’d be able to go to school without a football scholarship. And maybe…[Read more]

I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s just that USC also isn’t stupid. Sure, they overpay, but they overpay for guys who come with proven credentials, not players who haven’t played a down of college football.

That’s the name of the game now. And blue blood programs, with schools like USC leading the way, are using it in a consistent manner.

Just look at all of the players that USC has gotten via the portal in the last couple of seasons. The list is almost endless

They essentially are using other, less powerful schools as a form of feeder system…[Read more]

I’m close to a couple of guys who are members of “House of Victory” (the USC NIL collective), and they gave me a thumbnail sketch of how USC uses its NIL. Branch was a highly touted recruit out of Las Vegas last year and did get some NIL to sway his decision to play at USC (well, that and also playing with Caleb and in an extremely…[Read more]
