Miami is dropping Adidas for Nike. 

Adidas needs to take all those resources that were supporting the runners-up and redirect them to the champs.

Lots of interesting takeaways.

Auburn, Rugter, FSU, and Wisconsin appear to be overspending nightmares. Georgia and Iowa doing a really nice job with thbudget.e

Wisconsin’s was a one time thing to try and prop up, Fickel I think. 
 

Funny enough efficiency of spending sort of mostly follows quality of coaching. Ferentz and Kirby are good coaches. Fickell and Norvell…not so much.

Haha.  A little extra fuel on the fire... the fire that is already like Chernobyl in 1986.

I think this will be the most vitriolic crowd in modern US sports history.  I suspect Ole Miss fans angry behavior will peak at throwing things at Lane.  The question is if anyone makes a reckless run to land a punch (probably not).  Or if they go after the LSU team bus (maybe?).  If Ole Miss loses in controversial fashion that won't help things.

They're bringing in additional police from Mobile and New Orleans.  Reports are a lot of people without a ticket are just going to Oxford anyway (not good!).  I imagine there will be some fisticuffs in The Grove between LSU and OM fans.

It's gonna be a scene.

Belichick's son officially resigns and UNC ends their investigation into his alleged "conduct issues."

Just Say No, kids.

"Eventually, I told him that a guy with a $91 million contract ought to have a top-notch lawyer on speed dial and not be using ChatGPT for legal advice," Mars said.

Pretty interesting article, and I love this line.  Kiffen would ask an attorney friend about the situation of the players coming back, and Mars would tell him he might want to back down.  Kiffen would show him what ChatGPT would say.  He would find any kind of proof to reinforce what he is wanting to do.

Sorsby was not fixing this team. Texas Tech isn't near where they were last year in some areas

It’s of course early, but Mensah and Toney seem like good bets to both be at the Heisman ceremony.

Gotta beat Notre Dame and win the ACC. Otherwise I think their cakewalk schedule gets held against them

As much as I detest the Toiletmakers, I have to admit ...

BTN analyst Ryan Kerrigan has one impressive head of hair. 

As a follically challenged dude, I'm extremely jealous.

Please let someone with the right combination of bravery and booze make a reckless run and connect with Lane. This world needs a hero right now.

Ole Miss is giving out 45,000 golf balls. Dude is going to be getting cheapshotted all night or forced off the field. And damn straight it’s only disappointing it’s not more. 
 

And oh wow what a shock Dante Moore looks great against a team without a pulse   Just so he can look like crap in their next meaningful game.

Ha. It took Portland State for him to finally shake off IU.

This right here is a perfect example what really, really, bothers me about the current state of things and it’s a much bigger deal in football than basketball. This is a 25yo growna$$ man laying out a 19yo kid. For all the fun I like to make of a Chad Baker-Mazara, and that was a ridiculous deal, grown men playing college football is flat out gonna get some kid hurt.

I see your point, but at 19 he's not a kid anymore, its two growna$$ playing against each other. There are 18 and 19 year olds who are laying hits like that. However, hopefully the 5 to play 5 will have this eliminated in the next few years.

I hope Dan Lanning feels better after beating Portland State 84-0......

I had to google this to double check if it was true or a rumor.

They are indeed giving away 45,000 golf balls with instructions not to throw them.

What a stupid, stupid idea. No wonder Mississippi is at the bottom of the barrel for nearly every negative statistic (education, income, obesity etc etc). Really idiotic to hand these out to people that have been tailgating for up to 10 hours or so.
