  1. Good call. But if DeBoer wins in Norman, I don't think he'll be able to put out a Cig in Pasadena. 😉 A score over DeBoer could Just Mean More, no doubt, but I want revenge for this season's loss. 🤬
  2. If you call Joey, Fat again, I'll have your legs broken. 😁 BTW, for more Jeopardy-like useless historic information, call 1- 800 - WHO- CARES. DUNK the DUKES!
  3. Thanks, Jordan. JMU took A(n) C(urious) C(ourse) to the PO, which was aided and abetted by a once-great basketball conference tie-breakers, and a choke in Charlotte. I do not believe it will matter tomorrow, but JMU was named after the guy, Jemmy, who his peers, including Franklin and Jefferson, considered to be the brightest of their bunch. Jemmy has the distinction of going 2-0 as a wartime president, and he also won the peace after both wars, a singular achievement for a president of the USA. In 1814, when the British sacked DC, Jemmy and his wife, Dolly, were among the last to evacuate the President's House. Dolly refused to leave the burning premises without taking the portrait of George Washington with them. I imagine Jemmy would be proud of his football team, and he would have been happy about knocking the PO out of Duke, but not wild over the moniker, Dukes. With all due respect to James, Dolly, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, Destroy the Dukes!
  4. There were six rematches in FBS football this season. Five of the first game losers, including Wazzu, which blasted Beavis the 2nd time around, won the rematch. The team that was 2-0? Texas Tech with two blowouts of BYU.
  5. OOOOOOOOOOOO, Oklahoma! With a D that brings the pain! And the Sooners fans can make plans to head the Rose Bowl way. 24 to 17, I'll say. 😁 FWIW - Oklahoma is one of the few teams with an overall winning record vs The Tide - 5-2-1 - Venables 2 - DeBoer 0 - Since 2000, Oklahoma has the best home record in CFB.
  6. ESPN's Bill Connelly, DraftKings, and SP+ Look at 1st Round PO Games - Split on Bama at Oklahoma; unanimous for A&M, Ole Miss, and OBD - Per SP+ OBD's O ranks 13th. OBD's D ranks 5th - The best Oregon Defense in 67 years! Six rematch games in CFB this season. The only team that won both games was Texas Tech's double-beatdown of BYU by 22 and 27 points.

  7. Top players on teams OBD will play in 2026 who are off to the NFL - USC - WR Makai is out of eligibility. QB Mavai returns, but Safety Kamair Ramsey and WR Ja'Kobi Lane have declared for the draft. And DC D'Anton Lynn is rumored to be returning to his alma mater, Penn State, in the same role. Nebraska - Big Ten RB of the Year, Emmett Johnson, has declared for the draft. Moore to follow?
  8. Saturday Down South likes OBD B1G - I differ on his picks of Bama over Oklahoma and Miami over A+M - But his pick of Ole Miss isn't Lame 😁 Saturday Down SouthPredictions for each Round 1 Playoff gameWhat will the first round of the 2025 College Football Playoff look like? Let's predict the weekend action.
  9. He's mature on his own right and has family members and advisors who will help with this decision. I'm not qualified to make this decision, especially without knowing the financial difference between staying and leaving. What do you think, Alex? Should he stay or go? With Klubnik and Nussmeier falling short of projections, Allar injured, and Simpson not playing well vs. Georgia, this could be the year for Dante to go to the League. But I've never heard any pro say that the NFL is a better experience than college.
  10. In today's mailbag, the Athletic's Stewart Mandel also mentioned that Whit could be interested in the Michigan job. Stewart also referred to Michigan AD Warde Manuel as a 'dead man walking.' I doubt that playing ball for Saint Bo will save Warde's job. What do I know, especially when considering the dough? 🤑
  11. If you are watching at home, you will have to listen to some guys droning on while watching endless SEC highlights, including how great Ole Miss looked without Lame.🤬☹️😴 This and interminable play reviews are why I begin watching the recording at 9:00 Eastern. Will the weather allow for flight clearance? The predicted weather could put OBD in a sloppy slog fest. I watched this movie vs. Wisconsin and at Iowa. Dump, Damage, and Destroy the Dukes!
  12. Want to find Whit? Park City is one of the Utah ski areas that is open. He got what he wanted after last season's no-show. He is leaving a ranked football team behind for his buddy, Morgan Scalley, to coach. He has as much of a chance to be the next coach in Ann Arbor as Conner Stalions. 😁

  17. A CBS mock draft has Mendoza as the first selection and Dante as the second. 14 Big Ten players drafted in the 1st round. 43.75% is SEC-like. This mock has 8 SEC players going in the 1st round. QUACK! 4 Ducks in the 1st round - Dante, Sadiq, Washington, Pregnon, and 5 Buckeyes https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2026-nfl-mock-draft-giants-trade-no-1-pick-qbs-edge-rushers/?ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=499308&ET_RID=52482716
  18. QBs on the move with more (not Moore) to come. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-transfer-portal-2025-26-quarterback-market-reset/?ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=499308&ET_RID=52482716
  19. There are composite rankings, 247 Sports, for example, that combine both. Today's roster rankings often include both, but the Blue Chip Roster calculation, 50% or more of a roster made up by 4* and 5* recruits, does not include transfers.
  20. Ford Field is there, and not because Ford sold one Fairlane. Grosse Point isn't gross, and Oakland Hills is not a Mats Only Muni. 😁 Like many of the once Rust Belt cities, Detroit isn't petrified; it's gentrified. But the winters still ☹️.
  21. Washington defeats NC State 3-2, in OT, to win the 2025-26 Men's NCAA championship. UW played and won four PO games on the road against higher seeded opponents and defeated NC State in Cary, NC to win the the title.
  22. Watching Matt Ruhle's interview on B1G today, he didn't seem concerned about losing Raiola. One reason Raiola left was because of the play of the more athletic QB, LT Mateff. 59-95 passing, 722 yards, 4 TDs. Lateef may have been first in line for the 2026 QB job. Mateff is more athletic than Raiola. A better fit for what Ruhle and OC Dana Holgerson's O scheme. Bo Nix comparisons? Bo is a far better athlete than Raiola.
  23. OK, call Bernie Madoff's Cell phone. 😁 But it's going to take a lot of soul to reach Bernie.
  24. Forum Bros and Sis, please don't shoot the messenger over some of this?
