Happy 4th of July my feathered friends!! Today we witness the return of the greatest big game player in his field. That of course is Joey Chestnut. He is going for his 16th title in 18 attempts. Is he up there with the greats like Earnhardt, Tiger, Jack, Graf, Serena, Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Mayweather, Russell, Michael , Magic, Bird, Brady, Gretzky, Orr, Belichick, Wooden, and Saban? Am I missing any?

I am thinking Texas (and Arch) will hear a lot of opposing crowds chanting O-VER RA-TED this year!

Happy birthday! My pops flew P3-C Orions so I’ve always had a soft spot for flying hardware.

Happy Birthday Sir Charles! I will tip an OREGON micro brew in your honor today!

Happy Birthday Charles! In another life I used to be a KC-135 Navigator refueling everything in the USAF inventory and some Navy as well. 57 days to kickoff, GO DUCKS!

That's like your opinion, Man. Way too early Week 5 predictions: Penn State v. Oregon VICTORYBELLRINGS.COM The Penn State football team's schedule starts out with what should be a warmup for the rest of the 2025-26 season. The Nittany Lions open their season with a t 4 of PSU's preseason -4.5 odds vs. OBD are likely based on home field advantage. Last season, OBD was 4-0 on the road vs. the B1G, 1-0 at the neutral site champ game vs. PSU. PSU is 12-8 in White Out games. PSU defeated UW in a White Out last season, but would have lost the WO if the WO game they wanted vs' TOSU wasn't benched by Fox. James Franklin is 1-18 vs. top 5 teams. His only win came against Ohio State in 2016. He's 3-17 vs. the top 10. Plus, he's never had to play a WO game with Forum Fanatics in attendance! Way too early Week 5 predictions: Penn State v.

BSU being ranked higher than ASU was, well BS! But I guess ASU being picked to finish in last place in the B12 by the media poll, now disbanded, carried a lot of weight. Skattebo has scatted away to the NFL, but ASU is being picked to do pretty well in 2025. Arch has a lot of weight on his shoulders. His name seems to be the counter against the serious departures from last season to be a real contender. n the second year of the DeBoer era I'm hearing that the Tide's defense could be one of the best in the country; good enough to handle Vandy and Okie this time, not to mention, Wisconsin?

Jon...your research is top-notch! I had no idea about the schedule that Ole Miss has, and thus is set up to make the Playoffs...even if they are not one of the top four SEC teams. Thanks so much for the article!

I thought that on the 4th of July, my birthday, (and the nations) I'd share a short three minute video about the new sixth generation fighter-jet coming...

What team in the 247 composite recruiting rankings has the highest per-player average ranking? OBD. Of course! https://247sports.com/season/2026-football/compositeteamrankings/

I'll take 'Delusional' from Column A, 'Stupid' from Column B, and I most definitely do not want what the Italian guy ordered.

So, if we take a varsity football team and fill it with junior varsity players, we can the expect to compete at the varsity level, right? The state university conference is more than a little bit delusional and clownzano sucks it up.

Thank you, Mr. Editor, for doing your email to article magic. The SEC is doing the same thing over again in 2025 and expecting different results. Hmmm? The conference schedules in 2025 are the same, except for a change in the game venues. Georgia plays Bama, Texas, and Ole Miss at home this season instead of part of the brutal conference road schedule the Dawgs played in 2024. The media is gaga over 23andMe Archie Manning, but road games at Florida and Georgia, as well as rivalry games against Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas A&M, will challenge the Longhorns. Florida in The Swamp is a tough out, and QB DJ Lagway, and not a transfer from Yale, will likely be starting for the revenge-minded Gators. The out-of-conference schedule has three cupcakes for Bevo to trample, but as of today, Texas is a 3-point under-steer on the road vs. The Ohio State University. Texas returns zero starters at WR, and its 2024 stud TE is also in the NFL. One starter returns on the O-line. Could top 25 No. 1 preseason composite-ranked Texas miss the 2025-26 playoffs? I, of course, do not know, but I like Georgia to win the SEC, finish in the top four ranked teams, have a 1st round bye, and this season, win the Sugar Bowl and advance to the semifinals. Kirby Smart went 2-0 vs. Texas last season and repeated as the SEC champion with a schedule, as Kirby made note of to Greg Sankey while receiving the championship trophy, that was too Dawg gone difficult for any other team not named Georgia. Based on roster talent, the SEC could place four and possibly five teams in this season's playoffs, but it would not surprise me to see SEC title contenders with three losses again being stiffed by the committee. Have a great and safe 4th of July!

But does lil bro play football (jk)?

I don't see the B1G, SEC or ESPN giving the new 'Pac12' a vote to being a power conference with an auto bid. G6 yes, but part if the 'Power5', never. How many of these 'Pac12' will even get votes for top 25 besides BSU? To get consideration, they will need 10+ wins and wins over Power 4 opponents. I see this conference with a lot of G5 parity, which means they will beat each other up and no one have lots of wins each year. Which means no votes. Keeping the Pac 12 name allows for keeping the previous earned millions$$ which will help pay for Beavers stadium renewal. But it will mean little to nothing on the national scale. Let's face it, even the old Pac12 with us, USuC and Udub got little respect east of the Rockies. Canzano is their only cheerleader. That's not saying much.

And I think they are shocked that they haven't been given one yet and won't receive one. They are trying to say that because of the Pac-12's legacy they deserve to be a power conference. But the only problem is that they don't have any of the power teams that made them a power conference.

I think a unified west coast conference would have provided a lot more leverage and created the unquestioned #1 G6. Instead they have fractured tv deals and an old name to cling to. BSU and SDSU could have had all the leverage and gave it away. What were the PIG2 options going to be if the MWC had stayed fully together? They would have had no choice but to merge or go independent. It’s as if they thought they were getting an auto qualifier out of this move.

I think the new Pac offers more opportunities for them in football. They probably didn't switch conferences if they weren't going to get something out of it. They weren't going to make it to a P2 (B1G and SEC) conference or even a lesser power conference (ACC and Big 12). But if the new Pac were willing to carve out something special for them then I could see it being worth it.
