Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
So this thing with hornlife and finding out he’s dying and doing this on here is funny and reminds me of my dad who has a traumatic brain injury and is like an autistic 4 year old… Every single day I see him (and he lives on property with me so that’s pretty much every day) during college football season he asks me what time texas is on. I ask him if he knows and then he says 2:30 abc just like rain man. Then, he gets up on Saturday and it has to be on ABC as soon as he gets up. If you try to tell him there’s a better game on another channel (in the 11:00 am window) he freaks out. Now that football season has ended he asks me every day if Arch is coming back. I think so dad. We will see. I wish I could set him and hornlife up on a play date.

I mean @closetojumping I don’t think it was me who said no way to your 25 but it might have been. I probably said that seems a bit high to me but I know you are plugged in more so than me so I wouldn’t have argued about it. I’ve been saying that it’s beyond obvious that the play should be pay 45 guys, tops. Pay 8 guys in a high school recruiting class and sign 16 or 20 or 24 more- whatever the number/ that are free and you hope pan out. Like 3 solid starters from that group of 26 or 20 would be great. A couple backups and the rest can fuck off or stuck around and get a degree, whether. There is 105 spots so scholarships aren’t precious, just money. you sign an offensive tackle, defensive tackle, WR, RB, CB, S every year. You sign a TE, QB, an edge and Safety that you pay every other year. You do this and that’s 32 guys a year on the roster getting paid. From there- you go get 12 one year guys from the portal every year. Bam. That’s your two deep. When the skill position talent is on the upswing you pay big. When it’s not, you try to get bottom level of playoffs to keep it running. It’s MLB. Nobody is going to, in the long term, pay more than 40 or 50 guys. The rich schools will just pay more for top of the scale. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t end up this way. By pay I mean more than like 25 or 50k, tops.

Agreed completely. The whole thing is basically shitty. It’s also unsustainable and will probably hurt college football. Pretty sure these guys are in the middle of killing the goode that lays the golden eggs.

No just saying getting rid of the stuff they got you that sucks before you get to what’s cool. Didn’t your parents give you the big gift last? Maybe that was just my house.

So Indiana gets another good one. Congrats to them I guess.

Oh my. That might break people’s brains on here if those were the next 3 up and we literally had every single solitary spot on defense and special teams filled and hadn’t signed a single offensive player while losing out on our top 2 choices at RB and our top (only right now?) choice at WR. I almost need this to happen just so I can marvel at the meltdown that would take place.

I don’t give a shit if we go past 60 and I don’t think we ought to pay below 45, so that 105 can get fucked. But whatever. The main thing is we’ve apparently addressed almost every one of our nice to have but not absolutely necessaries and have zero on the massive needs. It’s like Christmas when your parents started you with a stocking and then you opened up underwear and socks and a sweater or something like that before getting to the good stuff. You know it’s coming, but… what if mom and dad fucked me this year and instead of a basketball hoop or a dog or something cool all I’m getting is this fucking erector set? The good news is we literally have zero bodies now interior, so, pretty much guaranteed we are getting someone.

So we needed the specialists and got that. Was the fat body a need? Kind of I guess. Was TE a need? I don’t know man- we have 2 I like and one that blocks, probably not. Also- I’d just as soon we run all 11 anyway as that should be arch’s bread and butter- so if you have 3 and only 1 at a time plays… Then, of all the positions on the team we are probably good at I’d say CB and edge are at the top. We got a CB and Sark is working his ass off on the edge. I don’t doubt that we’ve got some marginal improvement on places that we could use it (like that CB we got from Wake that was fine for 2 years) but my goodness it’s irritating seeing what’s happening where we need it to happen. WR 1, 2 RB, 3 OL, 2 Lb and 1 Safety. That’s 9 dudes we need bare minimum and we are sitting on zero. People do need to chill but I get why they aren’t.

I don’t think there is a lack of value possible. I think it’s as simple as don’t want to do anything that requires work. Which is completely a fair perspective.

Yeah- if NIL was a real thing where the players actually did shit and worked you could absolutely make a fair bit of money off of it (or at least support itself). I know @immamac isn’t super impressed with what the guys are doing for their obligations, but if they did stuff you could probably have professional service guys pay them 6 figures and come out ok on the deal. I would imagine restaurants and shit could pay decent money too if they structured it right. Pictures and autographs and shit. I don’t know that anyone is actually interested in doing that. I think the walk ons could probably do some cool shit and kill it with like a live show appearance at a place sponsoring them. I wish it actually were more like that instead of pay for play bc I think it would be cool for the fans, the community, and help the vast majority of players who are going pro in something else.

We got a long snapper, kicker and punters. A TE that we probably don’t need and a great big fat boy to be fat over the ball. I don’t know what that dude is talking about.

We moved the ball some. Wingo dropping it over and over and tripping over his feet repeatedly didnt help.

Despair and despondency. We are going to get a kicker, punter and long snapper and close up shop.

Assuming we sign a kicker and punter that would pretty much be orgasmic of that all played out.
