Danno was outstanding in Indy. But this guy stole the show in the Hoosier's home state. Indiana’s Curt Cignetti didn’t intend to roast UCLA football TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Indiana’s head coach didn’t mean to roast UCLA, but people still laughed. Thie Rose Bowl comment did not sound 'unintentional' to me.

Corvallis, the capital of negativity. Jonathan Smith exit to Michigan State and Big Ten was messy TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM It might surprise people outside Corvallis, but Oregon State fans remain unhappy with Jonathan Smith. Is anyone on the Forum surprised by this?

2 great comments, thanks. I agree with your thoughts on Jimbo. For most of his time at FSU he had a significant roster advantage. Under Mike Elko and if the QB stays healthy, in 2024 A+M could be a much-improved team. I will not be surprised if A+M defeats Notre Dame in the opener. A+M is a raucous environment and fired-up fans will be juiced up by Game Day being on site. The ND QB, Riley Leonard, played for Elko at Duke last season. The word coming out of College Station from the players is that they are enjoying playing in a disciplined system. I am not sold on ND coach Freeman being a top-drawer CFB in-game coach. It's one thing to perhaps, be too aggressive in decision-making, and only 11 players on the field when Ohio State scored a walk-off TD in South Bend in 2023. A+M, like ND, has a Blue Chip Roster. A+M lost some excellent players to the portal but also brought in some very good players. Under Mike Elko and being out of the uber-competitive West Division, I believe the Aggies will be a tough out for any opponent. In 2024, A+M will win its 3 OOC cupcake games. The Arkansas game is in Dallas. Missouri, LSU, and Texas play in College Station. Conference road games are at Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, and Auburn. In 2024 and 2025, A+M misses Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Kentucky, and unfortunately for A+M, Vanderbilt. This is a 'manageable' SEC slate. I think A+M finishes 8-4 at the worst and 10-2 at best.

Charles, I ❤️the optimism. No. 1 recruiting class would require signing studs down south who have in-state choices across fertile recruiting territory in Dixie and also signing close to every stud in California, Composite No. 1? Recruiting and Portaling? I can see this and I do see this happening or darn close very soon. But all of the top recruits from Dixie? That's a Herculean ask and task. Many SEC teams have war chests up there with Division Street and parents who want to watch their son play closer to home. You don't have to get them all. Michigan with a roster not that close to Ohio State's has defeated the Buckeyes 3 seasons in a row, been to the 4-team PO 3 years in a row, and came up with the Roses vs, Bama and made Washington not want to go back to Houston. I see a Ducks coaching staff bringing in their kind of quality recruits with lots of 4* and 5*s in the mix and getting them to play together as a focused, eye on the prize team. How did that 'superstar' team at A+M work out? 😒

Matt Zemek has been covering CFB for decades. Matt for years was Pete Fiutak's No. 2 guy at College Football News. I have always found Matt to be objective regarding his takes. Matt's Dad graduated from SC. Matt was raised in Seattle and graduated from Seattle University.
