  1. Michigan should throw 20 million at Ryan Day just to fuck with tOSU.
  2. Who knew that Moore was talking about the postgame when he would say "we are going to jam it down their throats" in his pressers.
  3. Man, I would take a few of their interior OL including Lee.
  4. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the 3rd or 4th.
  5. It is a natural progression. This was unthinkable up until the time when these athletic departments are all suddenly on the hook to start paying players while operating at a deficit or break even. Why do you think Private Equity has suddenly and stupidly become an option? The CFP and major bowls represent one of the few options for additional revenue to the schools that haven't been tapped. In the arms race, it will cost more and more money to maintain top rosters and make it into that field. It is only a matter of time before tOSU, Bama, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, etc start looking around and wondering why they have to split their playoff and bowl money with Mississippi State, Purdue, and Rutgers. I was a year ahead of saying that playoff expansion was going to ultimately kill conference title games. I expect conference culling will be the next step, especially if networks start to get behind the idea of any type of a super league. The P12 blew apart because TV networks did not believe that schools like Washington State, Oregon State, and Cal deserved premium revenue to air their games just because they were in conference. They weren't wrong. In the next round of TV negotiations, they will be looking to drive down revenue outlays to conferences due to the money they are spending on the playoffs. That will put pressure on the pot of money going to each school, and in the absence of growth, there will be cuts to keep the top teams whole. But you go ahead and bet on status quo. It worked out great for George Kliavkoff.
  6. With the expanded scholarship limits going into effect, the SEC is going to be on a huge buying spree. This is going to be an expensive portal cycle and class. We will have around 30-40 spots to fill when all is said and done.
  7. All hell is going to break loose when these conferences look at their bloated membership and start cutting the bottom feeders to maximize profits.
  8. Problem is, they are almost certain to go B1G if they do move to a conference. That would likely trigger another realignment war.
  9. I was thinking Arizona State where he is from. He would do well there I think with Dillingham.
  10. More importantly, we were 0-2 against BYE this season. That is the real headscratcher.
  11. Petrino would actually suck. He would do wonders there if he was allowed to install his offense.
  12. I agree with this, but man you can tell it is a shit sandwich for Sark to go to a bowl rather than the CFP.
  13. Wow, I must have misread the tealeaves on Ffrench. For some reason I was thinking that he was the one that ctj was implying that we just flat out missed on an eval last cycle.
  14. I hate to do this to us, but it is just hanging right there..
  15. I will give you that, but I also doubt that he goes 0fer against those top coaches over multiple seasons.
  16. Didn't he pull some similar late stage bullshit on signing day? I seem to remember him coming to an agreement the night before and then holding our feet to the fire for more to sign.
  17. The difference is...Campbell has that record at Iowa State with lesser talent than his opponenets, Franklin had it at Penn State with more talent.
  18. I cant find the post, but I called this a couple of months ago. Campbell is legitimately a good fit for that school, not sure why PSU fans are melting down about it.
  19. As someone who has sold software to both Pilot FlyingJ and Loves, I can tell you that you definitely want these truckstops in your corner. The amount of money these guys make is absolutely absurd - $60-80 billion per year. Love's does about half that. Both companies spend money like shit through a goose on whatever the fuck the executives want and don't really have true budgets.
  20. I've got $20 and a Bucees car wash code for Richard Anderson. Let's close this one out.
