Now that OBD is #5, this projection is muy bueno.

I'm happy here. How about you?

Theoretically, the DC is Dan Lanning, so I’m not too worried about this. I’ll definitely miss his recruiting prowess.

That will hurt recruiting for sure....Tosh is a legend on the West Coast.

That’s a good observation. Experience/time in the system definitely impacting things.

So it’s official, Curtis decides to stay home and play early as a Commodore.

Will will not have a relaxing honeymoon. OOC - Youngstown State, South Alabama, and Louisville, all in Lexington. Home - Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Vandy. Away - Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. Piece of cake, right? 🤪 🤮- Someone please, let me know where I can find a double shot of Bourbon.

Seems like expectations are that Chris Hampton gets promoted, and a new position coach is then needed. That seems to keep things tidy. We will see if any underlings are prompted to follow.

It isn't simply little old me. For what it's worth, the CFB world at large ranks the 5-seed as the Golden Ticket. I agree. I think Texas Tech will be the 4-seed. I'd prefer 5-seed OBD to play the Red Raiders in the 2nd round instead of Ohio State, Indiana, or Georgia/Bama. Coming off an extended bye has been no fine for Danno's Ducks. TT is a solid football team. But the schedule? OOC TX Tech played Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State, and Beavis at home. TT blew out BYU at home, won large at Utah with both QBs dinged up, and lost at ASU with its starting QB, Behren Morton, not able to play. With the B12's top roster, TT ran roughshod over the rest of its B12 opponents. When OBD was under the gun for playing 'no one', did the 'experts' look at TT's schedule? Ditto, A&M's in-conference weak schedule. In the knock wood, second round, give me the never-played-a-PO-game Red Raiders, after OBD defeats the G5 PO representative, or UVA.

I prefer they come out and compete with passion this year.

Dan gets a new OC and DC next year! https://duckswire.usatoday.com/football/

I doubt it since that would set up a rematch in the semis. More likely No.s 1 & 3.

I think Dan can fill the interim DC job if needed!

However this goes, it’s been a tough day for UGA recruiting! Jarmaine Mitchell has just flipped from UGA to Arizona State. Mitchell is the number 1 overall juco recruit on 247. Another disappointing happening as we could all always use another stud offensive lineman! Not a huge surprise, but you can never have enough depth on the OL!

He has been OK. Let's hope we upgrade to someone who likes vertical passes more.

I do think that this is a big possibility. It could be that he wants to stay home, but I wouldn’t doubt Vandy boosters having opened up their checkbooks so to speak. They have gotten a little taste of success, and it certainly tastes good! Either way, I can’t blame either. I do hope it works out for him whatever he decides, but I honestly think his QB career would be better served in Athens.

I gotta say, I see this and thought you said Mark Helfrich and nearly fell out of my chair!!!

Sounds like big NIL money to me.

I couldn’t blame him for wanting to play for the home team. It’s also a great school, which is still important to some, and they have shown that they can compete in the SEC. Of course, even if he signed with Vandy, he could be playing somewhere else as early as next season…

Stein will be coaching in the playoffs according to multiple reports and I would be surprised is Tosh didn’t do the same, if he decides to leave.

My concern is if both Stein and Lupoi both leave and don't coach in the playoffs.

Oregon’s defense is also better in 2025 by almost every meaningful statistic: PPG: 14:9 (vs. 16.2) Total YPG: 249 (vs. 284) TO: 16 (vs. 16) Sacks: 39 (vs 39) Perhaps Coach Lanning wanted Coach Stein to be more conservative given the first year QB and better defense? Limit turnovers = higher probability of winning. Coach Stein has done a tremendous job of developing Dante Moore. While he’s not a finished product, he is so much better than he was at UCLA and even earlier this season.

Thanks, Jon. I no longer trust ESPN and their biased coverage so I’ll have to check out the B1G Network signing day coverage.
