It’s one thing to have bias. However, it is another to be so far out in left field that you become the laughing stock of your profession, which Finebaum is approaching quickly (if he is not already there). He is a complete joke, and everyone knows it. Even the folks in the SEC.

Made my day! DM has football camps in EUG and Portland in June. Makes me feel like he's coming back too.

I can hardly believe it! This is great

Nailed it. In the end, USC's decision is about survival, and what is best for their football program. Whether USC's Administration knew about their commissioner signing a deal or not, or whether they're a bunch of morons, is just noise.

Hey Cisco, and Dante, Poncho is back! How about adding Moore returning talent and joining OL QB Poncho and DL Bear for the 2026 season? Dante, do you want to join the NFL before you can buy a cocktail?😏 Great news. Poncho is the perfect guy to build a new OL around in back-to-back seasons. Next season, perhaps Poncho won't be cheated out of the Remington Award. Speaking of screwed over, make us happy, Sadiq, and come back for a deserved Mackey Award. If he declares for the draft, I think 🤪 Kenjon will be drafted before Vandy's Eli Stowers. Eli Who?

This is an unlocked article from the Wall Street Journal. They make it appear that you have to sign up but you do not. https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/college-football-playoff-blowouts-97696dcb?st=hmJWFG&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Sorry, but SC made the appropriate business decision. Getting upset over 'Tradition' in today's world of NFL-Lite transactional CFB is nonsense. It makes no more sense than OSU and Wazzu blaming OBD for going B1G. A 2-loss SC would have had a very good case for being in the PO field this season, and if included, millions of additional PO dollars would have hit the B1G's bottom line. To Hades with Notre Dame. Knute Rockne left the building long ago. The brand didn't help bring in viewers for the 2025 PO champ game. Not wanting to share seems to me to be counterintuitive to what the school purportedly represents.

Have to love this quote: So… USC is mad about a deal that their conference commissioner signed and delivered, and are saying they didn’t know about it. Either they’re the dumbest administration in sports, or they’re completely full of crap — but it’s probably both. The cowardice of USC to run away from Notre Dame is unmatched | One Foot Down

I believe ND is contractually locked in to the ACC. However, in 2030, ACC exit fees drop significantly, part of the settlement with Clemson and FSU. And in the same year, a new B1G media deal begins, with B1G schools expected to earn $100 M in media revenue. Notre Dame ice hockey competes in the Big Ten. If ND were to join a conference, it would be one of the Power 2 conferences, and the B1G makes more sense than the SEC.

Awesome news!!

Who'd thunk it? Awful Announcing's 2025 college football media bias rankings

Any idea if ND could allow only their football program to join the Big Ten (or could/would the Big Ten allow it), while all of their other sports programs are part of the ACC? ND in the B1G would be fun... as it would be a pleasure to kick their butts on a semi regular basis.

The Pac12 was destroyed over decades by an almost untold number of self inflicted wounds by lot of different sources... and IMHO, starting with the Pac12 university presidents who primarily sat idly by as they watched our once great conference slowly sink like the Titanic, while they played their violins on the deck. I can't stand USC as much as the next guy, but they were smart to jump when they did -- while good options were still on the table. In the new world of college athletics, and especially College football, after decades of a slow demise, it was not a question as to whether or not the Pac 12 was going to die. Sadly, and especially with the clarity of hindsight, it was simply a matter of when. And we were fortunate to get on one of the last remaining life rafts heading to the Big Ten... even with only a half share of revenue through 2030.

As smart as destroying Pac-12! They are cowards by definition - quitting Pac-12 because they couldn't compete with OBD and now the long-runnig series because they are afraid of losing. “However, USC officials determined that the game date was not ideal considering past decisions from the CFP selection committee in punishing schools for losses, especially those late in the season.”

A&M and Texas disappeared before Texas joined the SEC, to A&M's chagrin, and are now permanent opponents. Perhaps SC/ND will return when ND joins the B1G? CFB PO folks, and ACC conference, stop enabling ND's independence!

A Take from Tech. And Hats Off to Dan for criticizing the time between the start of the PO and subsequent PO games, and opining that OBD should be playing Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday and not in Miami on 1/1/26. Wreck'Em RedOregon HC Dan Lanning shares huge injury news as Texas Te...All throughout the season, Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning and his staff have had to adjust and account for injured stars. They’ve missed having a number of

September 12, 1970 - USC 42 - Alabama 21. The Sam Bam Cunningham game. Bama, using a wishbone offense that Bear Bryant kept secret before the game, defeated SC in LA the next season. Bear was long in favor of SEC teams being integrated and worked with SC and Oregon grad coach John McKay to have an integrated team play Bama in the South. One of the best OL players of all time, Bama's John Hannah, said after the loss in 1970 that he went to block SC defenders and found thin air. Spot on comment, ND. Bubba Smith and myriad players of color no longer had to play for an HBCU team or head north to play ball. Integration of the Southeast and Southwest conferences helped calm tensions in the South. Lee Corso was another person who helped integrate college football. An assistant coach at Maryland in 1962, and with the approval of HC Tom Nugent, Corso convinced African-American Darryl Hill to transfer from Navy to Maryland. Hill was the ACC's first player of color. Wreck Tech! And UGA, Diss Ole Miss!

I couldn't care less if ND joins a conference, but their ridiculous sense of entitlement needs to be bludgeoned by whatever means necessary. Seriously, they have the same CFP clout and monetary reward as an 18-team conference?! Then they bail when their already preferential treatment doesn't go their way? And we call USC spoiled children? Their "storied rivalry" with USC is passe anyway, nobody outside of those two fan bases gives a rat's behind anyway.

Maybe he can take Cowherd with him😁.

It appears when a college ensures its football program will become a dumpster fire by hiring low-character coaches that hiring a new coach to rebuild using a pile of ashes will be challenging.

Dan Lanning has the problem of how to feed all these great receivers. I do not know how you could justify replacing either Benson or McClellan from the starting line up. GO DUCKS!

Bora Bora, Barbados, Baltimore....😅

Luv that kid.

Smart move by USC.

Before seeing youre comment, I basically made the same observation. Different geographic location, but same result.😅 I would guess that he already had his reservations made months ago to get away, out of country, after the season
