What's the Over/Under on Heisman finalist Jeremiah Love and his coach, Marcus Freeman, sitting out the award ceremony? 😇

Following the 2024 century-award winner, Dillon Gabriel, Fernando Mendoza has been named The Chicago Tribune's 101st winner of The Silver Football Award. The Silver Football Award is awarded to the Big Ten's best football player in a given season. The award is older than the Heisman Trophy, being presented for the first time in 1924 to Red Grange. 2025 award winner, Indiana's QB Fernando Mendoza, was announced on the B1G Today program by Union League of Chicago Vice President Bob Kreisman. 😁 Fernando is the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy and should win the award, depending on how many Southern Region voters prefer Don Diego Pavia over Don Fernando and leave Mendoza out of their top three. Congrats, Fernando! Now, you and your Cigs smoke Alabama/Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl, and perhaps, OBD will get revenge in the semi-finals.

Great Take! At first, I thought you were referring to this season's Pin Strip Bowl in the Bronx. I'm sure Dabo's guys can't wait to take a trip up north in December. 😶‍🌫️ And what a great season for the Nits! Going 6-6 and qualifying for a bowl game. 🤪 Clemson vs Penn State is the AP Voters' Delusion Bowl, no doubt. And Voters, how about Archie getting Horny and Cheesy vs. Michigan? Serious Note - I was happy to see that Matt Campbell is keeping interim PSU head coach, Terry Smith, on the staff.

Whether it's Monday with Marsh or Tuesday with the Teacher, it's All Good! Please, football gods, it would be nice to have all hands on deck on 12/20; it may be imperative on 1/1. TT coach Joey McGuire has not forgotten Bo Nix leading OBD to a comeback victory in Lubbock. The comeback loss was one of the first things mentioned by McGuire during his Selection Sunday interview. Let Ohio State possibly deal with A&M in Dallas. Defeat JMU, and it's a longer trip to Miami (DUH 🤪) from Lubbock than Dallas, and gives OBD the chance to close the attendance disparity. If Mari-oh-oh takes down the Aggies, it's also nice not to have to play the U in Miami. Make Chesney's 1st Visit to Autzen a Bad Memory!

Sant Rosa, thanks for this and the other WSJ posts. Short practices have been part of Curt Cignetti's process throughout his coaching career. Curt learned this process not from his time at Bama working for Saint Nick, but from his Dad, Frank Cignetti, Sr., who finished his career coaching the West Virginia Mountaineers. On his way to his first head coaching job at Toledo in 1990, Saban was Frank Cignetti's DB coach at WVU in 1978-79. Before Toledo, Saban also coached for Don James at Nick's alma mater, Kent State, Syracuse, Ohio State, the year after working for Frank Cignetti, Navy, Michigan State, and the Houston Oilers. Frank Cignetti's first coaching head job in college, like Curt's, was at a small school, Division II Indiana University Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks, never to be confused with the Crimson Tide. Frank Sr., a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, taught his sons, Curt and Frank Jr., who coached for Pitt, the New York Giants, and the Green Bay Packers, to take care of their players. When you are coaching at IUP and WVU and not at a school with a deep roster like Ohio State, keeping players healthy is paramount. Curt was Nick Saban's recruiting coordinator at Bama and helped Saban build one of CFB's deepest rosters. Curt was close to 50 years old when he took a $125,000.00 pay cut and left Bama for IUP. He got a 'decent' return on this bet on himself. With only 136 teams (at least in theory) competing for a title, college football coaches are members of a small fraternity. Destroy the Dukes! Chastise Chesney!

Strike while the Dome is hot! Cancel ND without delay. Many pac-12 teams have open dates. No reason to inflate the postseason MIA (😁) Domers schedule. To Wit: In the fall of 2026, the Gurus of Grapevine No. 1 Hosers will battle No(t) Texas - The Somewhat Ticked Off Green, Howard's (Endangered) Bisons, and some Western Kentucky guys who, like Uncle Bill, have a still on the top of a hill.

Great comment, JS. They're afraid of playing Ohio State OOC instead of Ohio Wesleyan. And why not? The nation's No. 1 team played donut holes OOC. A 24-team PO will include two G6 teams. Including Tulane and JMU in the 12-team field is because of a screwed up ACC, lawyers, and politicians. Notre Dame, Texas, Vanderbilt, and yes, USC, would have a chance to win it all? Tulane and JMU?

5-7 Rutgers said, 'Good Knight' to a bowl invitation. Practice? Practice! For the P4, I think a 13th stand-alone champ game and lower-level bowl games are dying on the vine. FCS - 24 team PO. If the NCAA and not ESPN managed the FBS postseason, we'd already have a 24-team PO. Stop dumping on Tony Petitti and go to 24 with AQs and plenty of at-large spots that would keep Notre Dame and Miami out of the cardiac ward and make everything groovy in South Beach and South Bend.
