  1. this makes me think of this podcast, bussin with the boys. The guys were talking about the difference between the lavish college facilities and the pros, which apparently are utilitarian at best.
  2. I wonder what this does to graduation rates
  3. Absolutely. One program that has really screwed over the years with this bcs and cfp horseshit, is Utah. They were undefeated in 2004 and 2008 (They pounded Alabama in 2008) and just pounded USC in 2022. USC probably would have been invited to the shit show if they had won by even 1 point.
  4. Teams like Villanova and Virginia would have not been champions if a committee chose a handful of teams. Every major sport in this country, except FBS football, has a legitimate playoff system in place.
  5. I agree. the guy who posted the premise was suggesting starters may move to better programs or programs for more nil money. If the guy is already a star, I don't see it because his value is likely and already recognized.
  6. I find your ideas fascinating and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
  7. Yeah I agree. I don't see how a team could just live in the portal. I think the core has to be high school players that get developed in house and establish culture and then the rest are filled out with transfers and possibly juco players. Which actually makes me wonder, has the newer transfer / portal rules diminished the value of many juco players? I would think the best ones will always have a spot, but perhaps the fringe ones have to now accept offers to lower tier programs.
  8. That's interesting premise and I wonder if that should be a concern. That said, does a player that has proven he is a star need to transfer? Wouldn't they just go pro? One guy that comes in mind is Andrew Luck. He was slotted to be a very high draft pick his last 2 years at Stanford. Why would he transfer to a different school?
  9. I see a bit of a similarity between the newer portal and transfer rules and how schools like Kansas State operate (or used to) They were juco heavy and often times, it worked out for them. So basically, bringing in older and possibly more experienced / stronger players.
  10. Is this shit real? Is that baker doing a peter pan / gay gymnast impression?
  11. That's an interesting take. I know these schools do not fit your scenario, but it would be fun to see a school like Vanderbilt or Kansas refuse to recruit anything less than 4 star players. I wonder if they would be able to field a team
  12. Pissed on, perhaps? Did you giver her the golden shower or what?
  13. Something seems to be missing there.
  14. They reportedly talked with Greg Roman current OC for the Ravens. Makes sense as he was @ Stanford around 2010 with Harbaugh. He would presumably understand the hurdles they face when it comes to recruiting players whose majors aren't finger painting.
  15. Football is 90% on the field and the other half is mental
  16. I see what you did there
  17. This makes me think of Bill Burr ranting about fat people There are so many gems to pick from
  18. Not sure what others posted, but speaking for myself I have zero issues with a no BS mentality. This thread has been a great source of laughs, though. I'm paraphrasing but gems like "they may go bowling next year" and "they are going to run the Pac 12 when USC leaves" just lulz
  19. speaking of drinking, not sure if it it still around but there was a beer / margarita drive thru in San Antonio that made the girls wear bikini tops.
  20. The only that that surprises me is that he lasted as long as he did
  21. So you are saying my wife could be +2200 miles away and at risk of an earthquake? Perfect.
  22. Huskies can be great dogs and I think its a cool mascot. Not for mascots, but I prefer Dobermans or Doberman Shepherds myself. They are awesome breeds. Plus, the short hair breeds do a lot better in the Texas heat
  23. Ask Kyle Flood
