    Fickel just said the other day that they don’t even know how long his recovery will be. Definitely wouldn’t have spring ball. I don’t think it’s a remote possibility that they go after someone like that whether they like his tape or not.

    I wonder if a lot of these issues would go away if they got rid of the weekly ranking show. Maybe drop something like the NET to give people an idea of how teams may be sorted, but you only see the bracket when it drops on Sunday. No CFP poll, just coaches and AP, and then some sort of metric that isn’t a true poll. Think FPI or something like that. I may be missing something here though. ESPN probably gets big ratings on that Tuesday show so obviously it won’t go away, but imagine the CBB selection committee dropping a tentative bracket through January and February. It would be a disaster.

    If this is accurate…wow. Just wow.

    I doubt we have the touches or the NIL bank to do it, but Eric Singleton from GT is going to be a MASSIVE land for somebody. That kid killed Georgia.

    Idk who all are brothers or cousins, but Larry played CB here. Tyrone played at Purdue and plays for the Giants. And I know there are more.

    Getting a visit from Lee Beebe, RB from UAB. We offered Javon Tracy, WR from Miami OH. Part of the gigantic Decatur Central family of Tracys that have played college football.

    Was just coming to post about Tuggle. I’m curious if the staff will shoot for a couple of talented young guys that haven’t produced quite yet.

    Yeah, it’s bleak. Following the farm is fun, but having to rely on those guys because the Ricketts refuse to spend sucks. I’m not sure how much Jed even can do.

    CFP gets all ticket revenue and distributes it to conferences. They’ll be pretty much regular home games with a few subtle differences.

    There’s like 200 listings on any given site right now. Check back this time next week. People buying tickets today are absolute suckers.

    We proved that we can throw it in bad weather last week so I’m not too worried either way. Just saying ND can’t throw the ball when it’s sunny and 75 so some cold or precipitation wouldn’t do much to them.

    Weather models (something I track out of nerdiness, but know nothing about) actually have a pretty consistent warm/dry spell through the end of the year. If that doesn’t hold though, ND has no pass game to take away so I’d assume anything impacting the passing game works in their favor.

    They’ve tripled. I really hope no one is buying at those prices. It’s a cash grab right now.

    I’m going to spend so much GD money on tickets. And it’s going to be worth it.

    Their offense is really fun and innovative. Sort of what we thought we were looking for as a “disadvantaged” program last offseason. I would assume that’s the OC’s baby though. Curious to see if he comes along for sure.

    Agree all around here, but I think Beck’s shoulder is trashed. Whoever gets UGA is playing against Gunnar Stockton I would think. UGA is gettable with how stinky that offense is with either of them. Front 7 is still a nightmare though.

    Warde Manuel said that idle teams won’t move in relation to each other Tuesday. Rece asked him again on Gameday today and he re-iterated the point. The committee does some goofy stuff, but I don’t believe they’ve ever outright lied on air about their process.

    PSU just got boned. It’s a grey area like they’re saying, but he was clearly just off balance.

    I wasn’t too worried about that, but any insurance is nice. Especially after Cig took a big fat dump on the committee on national TV today.
