Yikes. Well I guess that one ain’t gonna do the old strength of schedule much good. North Florida had the Lanier kid last year who’s at Tennessee now, but I didn’t realize they had anything else.

They’ve made good progress since the Oakland scrimmage with their defensive communication and they’re disciplined enough to just bludgeon these guys at the rim. But, man, Cleveland St is small and bad.

I was a big fan of Burgess before he broke his leg and not happy he’s at Purdue. Got a lot of skills.

The one I really want for some reason is LSU. Kelly is such an unapologetic D-bag and the idea that he took that job, ginned up a little southern accent, and then gets knocked out of a playoff by lowly Indiana just sounds too satisfying.

Yeah, and a good chunk of Colts twitter got completely sideways drawing an inference that Flacco would be the guy the rest of the year from a pretty vague statement Steichen made. I’d bet a mortgage payment that doesn’t happen.

If they want to move on from Ballard that’s completely defensible given his tenure. But you don’t draft a 20yo ball of clay with 11 college games unless you’re committing to something like a 3 year developmental timeline for him. Right now, on the field he’s exactly what they should have expected 10 games in and I don’t believe for a second they’re stepping away from him or even stepping back as far as that goes. I don’t know what provoked it, but they boxed his ears for something and if he handles it properly he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

True, but I believe this time he’s coming with 1 of his WR’s.

This may not age well at all, but I think this is happening because both he and Steichen are confident they’re totally safe. I think they wanted to get AR’s attention for preparation or leadership or some other off-field thing, doubt it was the tap out, and this was how they chose to do it. Will be pretty shocked if he’s not back in the lineup within a game or 2.

I still can’t get my mind around Chris Mack at C of C.

After Campbell that is a shockingly bad list. But at least he’s not going the Cig route.

The perfect game. A home game against a name brand that the committee will respect that's actually bad. Cig will show no mercy. IU 45 UM 13

Agree 100%. You reach an age(waves hand wildly) where if a role can give you what you need from it then the comfort factors become the thing. 12 months ago nobody would have said this job had the pathway that a guy who's goal was top of the foodchain would live with. Dude's proved in 1 season that it does. So his comfort level with the outside stuff is gonna be the deal and there is no universe where anyone's gonna question a single thing he wants. Imagine the stadium expansion plans are already in the works. Giant-a$$ raise? Probably already negotiated. Staff raises? Watch how fast. It is gonna be good to be Cig and he has absolutely earned it.

That a HC 1 year removed from an FCS school and who will be 64 before he coaches a game in ‘25 is now the apple of literally every power conference school that’s underperforming is simply awesome. Oh, to be his agent. “Ok, folks, just send me your sealed bids and we’ll let you know.” That being said, I absolutely don’t believe he’ll leave. This feels like way too good a fit.

I know it’s a painful subject around these parts, but really looking forward to the dawn of the Josh Schertz era at SLU. Getting to see them live against LMU in a couple of weeks.

https://x.com/_SVPod/status/1853134329943044457 SVP is dead right here and that’s why I’m gonna be so annoyed Tuesday when IU is 11 or 12. You can say whatever you want about the schedule, there are no 17-14 games in there. They’ve hammered everyone.

That looks like a misprint.

Rooting hard for South Carolina. A&M just feels like 1 of those teams the committee would be dying to overrate..

Saw SIUE a couple of times last year. They play in the OVC, they have a nice little facility and their tickets are dirt cheap. Great value. Had a pretty nice little player last year named Minor who portalled. Need to check where he landed. The rest of the team, yeesh. Gonna be a serious, serious beating. IU 96 SIUE 56

Being happy with an Ohio St victory feels so gross. But I’m willing to punt my dignity for Cig.

Given the pent up competitiveness that kid must have by now I imagine some poor Marian kid could get postered in a major way.

Of the long list of things that aren’t gonna happen, that might actually be the not gonna happen-ist.
