Because every college football program now thinks they have to massively overpay their coaches after the slightest flash of success, or somebody else will. MSU made the same mistake with Tucker. Kansas will probably do it with Leipold pretty soon. There are so many programs out there that want to win big and win now and will throw unlimited money at coaches to try and make it happen.

I think the coaches aren't ranking them any higher at this point because some of them may doubt that Norwell could beat a team from Indy. They hosted Brebeuf in regionals last year and were down 38-3 at the half. Brebeuf had beaten West Lafayette by 10 in the sectional, then beat Mishawaka Marian by 1 point a week later before losing to Gibson Southern. I find Sagarin pretty useful for basketball, not so much for football. Carroll dropped 4 spots this week after beating 6A Homestead 52-10. They dropped 34 spots the week before after a 58-6 win over FW South Side.

These 70+ yard touchdowns have to stop. I bet we lead the nation.

I'm honestly curious what these coaches do in practice. Can't remember the last time I saw a team offsides on a kickoff.

And the "handful of people" he's heard it from could all be people reading this board.

They probably wouldn't be here long enough for us to find out.

Jags are creaming the Chargers in LA. Too early to say they might be more of a threat than we'd like to acknowledge? They might have the best QB in the division.

When does Irsay finally intervene and get Reich to stop going for it on 4th down? Does he even want to? This is coaching malpractice. Not sure I've seen a team that had to fight harder to overcome both its coach and the opponent.

This feels like another team that ends its season in the Round of 16.

Just can't understand why this organization is always such a hot mess in the month of September.

Friendly reminder that 4 years ago, we were 3-0 while Purdue was 0-3 with a loss to Eastern Michigan. They beat us to reach a bowl game while we stayed home. I have zero confidence we could beat them right now. O'Connell would abuse the outfit known as our secondary that we put on the field today.

Southern Illinois beat Northwestern. They beat us in 2006 and we had to stop a 2 point conversion to beat them by a point in 2015. I would imagine they are now on our Do Not Schedule list, which Western Kentucky should be after today.

You have to see it up close and personal to appreciate how bad MAC football really is.

I feel bad for the poor trash can that's going to get annihilated by Allen as he celebrates this monster win.

This aged well.
