The exact same deal when we played at Kansas a couple years ago. It was nice til I realized they just didn’t think we were worth a f***. (And we weren’t, to be clear, but only WE get to think that)

With how Sheridan’s career has gone, he’d just end up coaching the Packers in that scenario.

The street cred gained from getting a 4/5 star QB out of Georgia and away from USC would be well worth $2million alone tbh. If he lives up to his ranking then you’re really cooking.

Another point on this... I read earlier today that UCLA is on the quarter system, so they haven't even started classes yet. They may not even have a full band, let alone a loud student section. Can't wait to see those NBC crowd shots.

Well, this Ben DiNucci erasure will absolutely not stand.

Cig and the fellas are shaking in their boots, to be sure.

Thanks for the lesson but I'm aware of how it works. The mini series will almost certainly suck.

And also solidifies a hilariously awful pre-New Year’s Assembly Hall schedule. I love the holiday break mini series packages but there’s no shot I’m doing that this year.

I think once we beat UCLA, they'll start packing the place. After the Charlotte beatdown, all of the home B1G games should be rowdy full houses. It's nice that the talking point is the crappy crowd vs the good football team and not the other way around like it was in 2021 and 2022. We can't forget the Cincinnati crowd, almost selling out a Friday night vs. Idaho, last year's opener vs OSU, etc.

If he has half a brain, the nail has been put in Colorado's coffin. I won't be mad if he sticks with SC, that offense is humming. If he chooses Colorado I'll be sure to not wish him well.

Got a feeling Deboer will take back play calling by the end of the year. It’s his offense from the front of the playbook to back, but having Sheridan call it is a wild move. That man can’t call 911.

Central Michigan was a 1 TD favorite and are getting run the hell over by…….Florida International. Hm…

They were a perennial, mediocre .500ish program with occasional outliers since at least the turn of the century and then as the FCS-level directional Illinois schools started to struggle institutionally around 2016-17 they really cratered and it’s only gotten worse there while SIU and EIU seem to have kinda figured things out. The school just completely stopped supporting that program.

I’m not totally kidding when I say Michigan would be better off playing Jack. Warren is friggin terrible. Orji must be AWFUL.

I remember that. What a disaster. On a football level, around that same time, they were forced to start offering partial scholarships and that was pretty much the death blow to the program, especially being in the Missouri Valley at the time.

Partially because of last night and partially because the school itself is hanging on for dear life.

Connor Bazelak is taking Tom’s defense behind the woodshed so far today. Poetry.

We should have Charlotte info on Monday. Maryland the next Monday, etc. unless networks put a game in the one-week window then you won’t know til the Monday or Sunday of game week.

This says a lot more about WIU than it does IU. The school itself is barely hanging on and the football program reflects that.

It was very nearly Tayven Time. Woof.

Well, they haven’t found one since 2021.

I was fine dumping the Louisville game for…whatever this is, but we’d be better off just doing another spring game.

I’m not sure the last time we played a team worse than this, if we ever have. ISU was pretty awful last year, but…they thumped WIU.
