Curious to see if he gets the OSU HB, would go a long ways towards not utilizing Cam Ward.

Hope so, was cool for about 1 season imo.

It’s a bit of a full circle, isn’t it? What/who is the NCAA? Are the power 4 kissing themselves goodbye? The NCAA isn’t an outside entity created by Congress, Microsoft, or some other body. Now if the P4 wanted to restructure and exclude the non-P4 from governance (full split), I could see that. The NCAA is the member institutions, there has to be some form of governance I would think. IMO Michigan/Harbaugh got off light…so far. There is still the matter of “sign stealer guy” and the FBI investigating Michigan for the last 6 months that has yet to hit. Jim skates off to his cool new NFL job after winning the title and leaves the mess behind.

I heard this afternoon the deceased was a homeless man that confronted the player with a weapon (hammer), the kid hit him with his car, possibly in self defense, fled home and called his coach, and that alcohol was involved. Still a lot to unpack.

Self-defense element, homeless guy with hammer killed…so I hear. Underage drinking doesn’t help. Really sucks all the way around.

Add that to the ledger. So Miami paid more to take him off our hands than one year of the alleged Apple deal? Nice one. What was our cut?

New running backs coach, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a portal or two in and out. Ditto with still being In the middle of spring ball, bound to be a few dudes leaving. But hey, I’m a macro recruiting guy, tell me the final names once the portal is done.

It’s gonna be bonkers!

Referencing our NIL title in the other post, 5 of our 6 players on this list are transfers.

It’s all semantics really. Personally, when I hear “need based”, it sounds reactionary. I think as it stands now, getting 30-40% of your roster from the portal is the smart way to go. Let others polish those 2 and 3 stars and then steal them to add to your core of 4 and 5 stars. Aside from evolving to get a few more 5 star dudes out of HS, I think we’re on the forefront of how to work it and should have a kingpin title.

I suspect he’s old school and not used to re-recruiting players once he gets them on the roster. Beavis, arguably has it worse. Make the Elite 8 with everyone on the roster eligible to return, and then lose 80% of your starters in 2 weeks while headed to the WCC with no recruiting class in hand, major ouch. Overall women’s hoops is riding a wave of massive popularity at the moment, but IMO whether or not that sustains is very much in question. Having the “right” all time scoring leader to showcase won’t be an option next year. Apathy may be lurking.

This also happened in a year the conference was as strong as it had been in some time. Year 3 is traditionally when a team is fully the new coaches team, so look out!

Apple subscribers currently at 25M, and I’m guessing at least half of them don’t even know/care that college football exists. This isn’t even a discussion.

I appreciate your musicians’s lens (I’m a musician as well), but looking beyond the score for an individual instrumentation part, Beavis’ lyrics disqualify that song from not being considered terrible. Now if we want to start a conversation about how lame it is that our band latched on to Star Wars Episode 1 Freedom of Naboo as something they have constantly played for 25 years, that’s a conversation!

They won the great ledger battle(s) of 2024, but their fate remains the same. Praying for an ACC or B12 invite, or becoming Colorado State.

Watching their successful women’s hoops team fall apart this very second would be an indicator that the fallout applies beyond football. Poor Beavis.

Benny’s House has convinced themselves he wasn’t actually that good. Guy was walking on water 2 weeks ago, now he’s leaving because he’s too slow and probably wasn’t going to start. Pound sand Beavis.

Great news! As to who to get in the portal, I wouldn’t hold my breath on Bittle being a productive starter. Get the dude with glasses in a heartbeat if he’s an option!

P12 Network proudly broadcasting all exiting members. Always good to reemphasize with each awkward broadcast that the team they’re previewing is leaving. I’m sure the advertising from all the official sponsors of the conference will be a robust windfall.

Rumor mill says Alabama. RBs have a very limited shelf-life and they’ve pounded the heck out of him, very good chance he’ll make more in college another year or two (I think he has 2 years left) than he’ll make in his NFL career. That and who wants to play “in the MWC“ for a former pac team that’s about to embarrass itself next season?

I’m sure he already knows where he’s headed, Beavis thinks Alabama.

The once loyal savior of Beavis Nation is now being called a “one trick pony that didn’t fit with the new offense”…according to Beavis fans. Yep, all downhill from the capitulation moving forward, hope they enjoyed the bean counter victory.

Going to a P2 conference for a playoff contender versus hoping for 6-6 in the B12…I know which looks better on the resume.

Yep, feels like getting out of Dodge to me.
