BB led the Senior Bowl with ten tackles; the next closest player had five, and he broke up a pass attempt. He also proved that Tennessee players don't receive a terrific education, and/or they don't like helmets with feathers. The Vols player that BB ticked off pregame punched him three times squarely in the helmet. Brilliant! 🤪

WOW! So much for the attempt at Animal House humor. Perhaps you have to be 70+ long in the tooth to have watched the movie and get it? Or, perhaps, I'm long on age and short on Humor? 😁 Mea Culpa. OK, Forum Friends, I love Dylan flaunting today's fashionista flavor. I forgive the Cornhusker crud, and I hope his style of shades will be handed out before the Autzen crowd Shouts. But this doesn't mean you don't have to do your assigment people; this is my job!

What's the timeline for losing The Valley Girl look? 🤮 You're a GD disgrace! What kind of team would recruit a man like you? Straighten those curls, lose those shades, and for OBD's sake, take off that GD Cornhusker crap!

Foxy Joel Klatt with a look at B1G mega-conference 2026 schedules. Thanks, Joel, for the insight into the obvious: the ACC, Big Ten, B12, and the SEC all have in-conference schedules with significant differences in degree of difficulty. This is one B1G reason the Power 4 should support Tony Petitti's 16-team, automatic-qualifier PO format. Ohio State, Michigan, and Northwestern have difficult schedules. Your friends at CBS Sports have OBD with the 3rd most difficult schedule - QUACK! CFB-HQ On SIJoel Klatt calls Big Ten’s 2026 college football schedule...Following the release of the Big Ten's 2026 college football schedules, Fox analyst Joel Klatt called the results "wildly imbalanced."

Thank you, Charles, for the in-depth look at OBD's new OC and DC. In Dan (except, perhaps, for the final game of the season plan 🤔), we trust. Two interesting hires. Other coaches Dan has hired have gone elsewhere for bigger jobs: Dilly, Will Stein, and Tosh. Why not move on up from within? Especially when both are excellent recruiters. The grass is damn green in Eugene. It will be interesting to compare these two promotions with Matt Campbell bringing in Penn State alum D'Anton Lynn as his DC and Riley's hiring of College Hall of Fame coach Gary Patterson to replace Lynn. I hope the promotions are validated and that Dan, Drew, Chris, and tens of thousands of Ducks fans will flock to Las Vegas for the title game on January 25, 2027.

The program with an entirely new roster, including a QB who led the nation in passing last season, that I am concerned about is Oklahoma State. North Texas played for an American Conference title last season, and 17 players, including 2025's leading passer with 4,379 yards passing, QB Mestermaker and his top receivers, are following coach Eric Morris to OK State. RB Caleb Hawkins led the nation last season with 25 rushing TDs. In Week 2 in Stillwater, OK., in front of a boisterous crowd, OBD will face a different team than last season's Gundy-led Cowboys team. OBD opens with Boise State, last season's MW champ. QB Madsen is back for another season, and Boise has been ranked in a few preseason polls. OBD's Week 3 game is against Portland State. I wish the Vikings were coming to Autzen for a Week 1 scrimmage. I'll take this opening threesome over Kiffin's triumvirate of Clemson, La Tech, and on the road at Ole Miss.

An Arctic Blast from the Past. When the puck was dropped in Beaver Stadium at 1 ET, with the wind chill factor, it was 8 degrees. 🤢 The HS where I played hockey now has a beautiful indoor rink. When I played, the rink was outdoors. It was a quarter-mile-plus walk back to the locker room. I learned that you should take a cold shower before a hot shower. The cold removed the icicles from your face without the stinging pain from a hot shower. Rookies had to learn this on their own, to the laughter of the older guys. 🤬 BTW, as is often said in Boston, "I've been married 20 years, but it feels like 30 with the wind chill factor." 😁 On Netflix tonight, you can catch the movie Miracle on Ice. A great take on the USA hockey team upsetting the Russians on the way to a Gold Medal in Lake Placid, NY, in 1980. Also, wax your boards. The lifts in South Carolina will be opening soon. 😶‍🌫️ It's a winter wonderland in Dixie.

Vegas Insider 2026 CFB Win Totals - Vegas takes everything into account with the focus on a team's schedule, home and away games, when games will be played, and the strength of the roster. At 10.5 wins, OBD, Ohio State, and Penn State tie for the Big Ten lead. At 9.5 wins, Georgia, LSU, and Texas top the SEC. ACC - Clemson and Miami (not Duke) are on top at 9.5. B12 - K State, ASU, and Texas Tech lead the conference at 8.5. (My betting group has placed a bet on Texas Tech going Over 8.5.) Be prudent. Never Bet the Rent! https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/win-totals/

Make No Misstate - The Big Ten welcomes Matt Campbell to Penn State, not with a bowl of gumbo soup but with a bowl of cherries. https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/penn-state-football-2026-schedule-breakdown This is a friendly welcome, better than the one Cig received at Indiana.

Same SEC Stuff, Different Day - When AP Poll Pavlov's Dog Pollsters again have more than half of the SEC in their preseason top 25, what do you expect to happen? SEC sycophants will use the poll to promote the idea that SEC teams have to play a gauntlet like no other. 🤪 The B1G could win ten titles in a row and dominate the SEC in the bowl games, and it won't matter. And people wonder why Tony Petitti wants a PO with automatic qualifiers? SMH. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-tens-top-teams-tougher-2026-schedules-gauntlet/
