Good for him. Sometimes, with some people, money isn't the only thing that matters. It's easy these days to be cynical about everything in college football, but I believe him, too.

"Mr. Fischer"? I see what you did there.

Interesting read. oregonliveFormer Oregon Ducks star De’Anthony Thomas finds peace, a...Thomas has complicated feelings about his football career. His newest hobby is both battleground and sanctuary.

"Lower my standards? You get what you ask for..." I gotta disagree with this. What "standards" we as fans have mean absolutely nothing to a teams' performance. We watch, speculate and discuss, but we have nothing to do with how a team conducts itself. Sometimes, it seems that fans with "high standards" hold themselves up as somehow better fans than those who don't share those standards. I'm not saying you feel that way, but you can have any and all the standards you want, and that will have nothing to do with how a team performs. If it did, all teams would be undefeated.

I say the glass is more than half-full. And, it's a good-looking glass, too.

It's not a disgrace. Indiana is just too good for any team in college football this season.

Jay Harris and Daylen Austen and Kyler Kasper All supposedly stepping into the vortex.
