I wonder if he even remembers the name of the school they were at before CU. He just refers to it as "HBCU."

"Everyone's Super Bowl." They were 4-8. lmao

Interesting story that fills in some of the blanks on that weird-a$$ temporary stadium thing that Northwestern’s doing. Not sure it’s gonna work all that well, but I admire what they’re trying to do. And IU plays there this year.

That is interesting...but I am confused by what "Boosted by "a major six-figure commitment" from the Brauns, the university green-lit the temporary stadium in early April." means? The Football coach had to contribute a few hundred grand to the cost of the temporary stadium while the university spent $800million on the renovation? That can't be right, is it? ETA- yep, confirmed later in the article. That sounds bizarre to me. I wish the Big Ten woulda kicked Northwestern out years ago, not because of this, they just belong in the MAC.

True freshman and Cathedral alum Danny O’Neil named the starter for San Diego State in week 1.

Must have been editing error. Clearly the headline is supposed to be “Predicting How the 12-Team College Football Playoff Will Play Out…..After Indiana”

Their website seems to be having errors. When I looked at the list it somehow left out IU. I tried reloading the page but the error persisted.

My favorite version of this is Corey Lajoie running a Chili's paint scheme with QR codes on the hood this year at the Daytona 500. Yeah man, let me just focus my iPhone camera on your 200mph hood as you go by so I can enter the sweepstakes to win a free basket of chips and salsa.

Thought this was interesting. Not sure how accurate it is, but Colorado is throwing around some cash. Sorry if its already been shared.

Ok, this may be the greatest trivia fact in the history of trivia facts:

Deion Sanders, he of the HOF resume and dump truck-sized ego, had 14 career interceptions at Florida St and is tied on their all time list with:

Lee freaking Corso!

Almost drove off the road when I heard that one. Awesome.

Eliminating the spring transfer portal window for football is being considered. It's like the NCAA is now actively looking for ways to get sued.

Pat McAfee on Gameday just said he thinks NIL negotiations will eventually be at the school level and all schools will have a cap.  

Personally, I don't like that idea because IUFB would be kicked in the nuts if there were a cap implemented.

A pretty heavy dose of Jaylin Lucas on FSU's 1st drive in Dublin. Would have been really cool to see how it would have worked under Coach Cig had he stayed.

Did he get injured, because I have not seen much of him since?

He seems fine, they just have so much talent and are so deep that playing time is very competitive!
