2027 QB FA worth a sniff. Deshaun Watson Kirk Cousins Kyler Murray Very slim pickings and probably not even worth the time to sign. For the Shoe.

I don't know if any of y'all recall Coach Cig complaining about Memorial Stadium's press/coaches box but here's an example of what he came from. LOL!

And so it begins. For the Shoe.

Well, they're gonna have to figure out something. I thought they were on to something during the Nebraska game. Gibbs got a couple of catches and I think another TE was targeted. I mean, TE doesn't always have to run a seam route down the middle.

Yeah, they were just talked about in the PMS. Schefter doesn't think we'll be able to get any 1st round picks from any of them. For the Shoe.

Personally, I don't even think he needs to figure out too much. His D is solid. If UM's D plays decent and Sayin isn't playing, O$U will be heavily challenged. I also think this weekend against SC will let all of us know about the QB situation. While Fahey is traveling back home he's still a freshman and getting Smith touches should be fun to see how SC tries to prevent that from happening. UCLA will have to deal the with traveling to Minny next week before they travel to UM in late November.

Smashing refresh for any Colts fire sale news. Man, this team is awful. For the Shoe.

Three down, four more to go. Hoover's injury is concerning. A gritty game up in Ann Arbor but that's not sustainable. And finally... The major difference this year over the last two for the IUFB offense is not involving the TE more. Against UM, one target to the TE that turned out to be a huge catch. They've got to figure out a way to start targeting that position more.

7-1. On to Minnesota.

My European colleagues that relocated here in the US compare college football to lower tier professional soccer leagues. For example EPL would be considered NFL. EFL Championship is CFP. EFL League One is FCS. So on and so forth. And all of them regardless of country pretty much say the same thing. They say the fanbase and tribalism you're talking about here is almost identical. I don't know if we'll see something like this in our lifetime but I won't be surprised if "college sports" turns into some sort of tier leagues system.

If and buts were candy and nuts. It didn't happen. We won every game. I will remember it for as long as my cognitive brain will allow me.

To each his own. For me, the last 4 games left ZERO DOUBT for all the naysayers, allowed IUFB to accomplish something no other school has since the late 1800's, and showed the country what Hoosier Nation is when coaches and the like talk about it. All of that doesn't happen if those 'dumb and superfluous chintzy 3 games' don't get played.

Will never happen. I sound like a broken record but once we start to actually experience it, we'll wonder why we didn't do it sooner than later.

I would think NIL will never squeeze out these two conferences? I could be wrong but NIL has been the main driver for all this chaos and change. Networks also have a stake in these two conferences, ESPN has a stake in both. Not to mention, the last two CFP Championship games had ACC (I'm counting ND by all intents and purposes here) representation.
