With me at the wheel, this is likely on me.

Who?

DL learned from the best. Saint Nick and Kirby 'He So' Smart.

SI ranks Ole Miss SEC SOS, including OOC games, 13 out of 16. Mizzou is 16, UF 1, UGA 6. Amazing. 2024, 1st regular season game between Bama and UGA since 2008. 16 teams, play 9 conference games! Ole Miss OOC schedule, 3 cupcakes and a Wake.

According to a few sources, he has broken the record and leads the B1G in recruiting.

2 years in. DeBoer scored with Penix and signed him based on the prior relationship at Indiana. Did a terrific job convincing stud players who could have gone pro to come back for the 2023 season. He is a heck of a coach with good assistants. But if you do not score in recruiting and today, in the portal your success is not sustainable.

Duckster, I am not ready for it, but my friend, it is here. Some guys will get NIL paid and dog it. Just like some NFL players outperform their peers. I have no idea how toxic the situation was at A+M. I do the recruits did not play up to the recruiting rankings. If DL and staff want Nolen. I trust these guys. I do believe it is a 'problem' in a vacuum. Nolen is odds on to stay in the SEC and be another good portal pickup by Kiffin. Ole Miss gets QB Dart back, misses Bama in 2024, and gets Georgia and Oklahoma at home. The toughest road game is at LSU. I think Kiffen has a lot to sell and will keep Nolen closer to home.

DL is going after him hard and heavy. So, I say heck yes Oregon wants him. Walter Nolen, No. 1 player in transfer portal, names 2 finalists WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Walter Nolen, the No. 1 player in the transfer portal, has narrowed things down to two teams looking to make next year's College Football Playoff.

Why the opt for Steiny over the Chipper.

Hey, Kirk, how do you really feel about SC? Too bad SC does not play the Hawkeyes in 2024. Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz takes shot at Lincoln Riley, USC WWW.YARDBARKER.COM Iowa won the Big Ten West this season despite having one of the worst offenses in the country, and head coach Kirk Ferentz believes that should serve as a reminder that his style of football still works.

Isn't it nice to be in the B1G Leagues. Meanwhile, on the Pac-12 Network, I believe you can catch a replay of a beach volleyball game.

Anchors Away! The Pac-2 finished behind the US Naval Academy which has 1 marquee game a year vs. Army. Where would OSU and WSU have finished if they didn't play Oregon and UW? (And why are these 2 on B1G schedules next season?) But they sure got a raw deal, right Canzano?

Oregon is a Junior Partner only until the next B1G media deal and is making more than it would have made in the Pac-12. And is being covered and will be covered by a real network, the B1g 10 Network. The BTN is now over 70 Million subscribers. Litigation? You get more bees with honey than with vinegar.

ESPN has moved Oregon up from 4 to 3 and dropped Ohio State from 2 to 4.

It's but one rating service, ESPN, but ESPN has moved Oregon recruiting to 3 and dropped Ohio State to 4!

Thanks, Alex. And Moga is not chopped liver. The kid is a heck of a runner. Coach Stein must raise a stein or two of Charles' finest Oregon IPA. He is getting a lot of nice toys for Christmas including a Buckeyes WR flip that will help Win The Day and tick off Ryan Day at the same time. GO DUCKS! Extinguish the Flames.

The Hand to the Crotch expresses Foreman's opinion of USC. Was this guy buried by Troy or was he hugely overrated?

Heck of a day including stealing one from Ryan Day. Ohio State, forget about That School Up North you have competition from the boys out West. QUACK!

If this is what they want then negotiate and drop the litigation. They want more money then they agreed. An equal share considering how little the Pac-2 brought to the bottom line is more than they deserve. The marketplace and not Oregon said 'NO!" to these 2 schools.

I want to see Oregon and the Pac-10 members step up. File a suit against the Pac-2 in California with the likelihood of a decision in favor of the plaintiffs. The conflicting decisions would then go to the Ninth Circuit federal court. IMO, another move would be before the NY6 Bowl games, Oregon and UW file a restraining order to prevent the NY6 Bowl payouts from being paid to the Pac-2. Maybe settlement discussions are ongoing but for goodness sake do something! Say something! Don't just hand these 2 a 2024 scheduling payday while taking it in the shorts. Meanwhile, I'm in the process of canceling with Canzano and getting a refund.

For what? Can anyone other than the director of programming at ESPN and the ESPN financial guy who cashes the checks, keep track of bowl sponsors? For example, Wasabi is not a Japanese food condiment, it instead flies around in the web ether, doing what I do not know. What's the Over/Under on folks knowing what a ReliaQuest is and what it does? I look at the teams playing and not the entity writing the checks. But I did want to poke fun at charred bread.

Thanks, DM. At Oklahoma, Gabriel thrived in an RPO structured offense, Bo was a very good runner when he needed to be but Gabriel is far more slippier and elusive. He does not have the same arm strength but Dillion is not that much of a step down from Caleb Williams in his ability to extend and make plays. Protecting Bo in 2023 was the way to go. But IMO, limiting Gabriel to a dink-and-dunk passing game with a few Bird Bombs thrown in, in 2024 will be a B1G mistake. For what a mobile QB can do in the B1G, tune into the Rose Bowl and watch Bama's Milroe vs. the Michigan D. The Wolverines saw no QBs in the B1G this season like Milroe. I expect Milroe will be the difference in this game and I also believe that Bama +1 to +1.5, will win SU by 10 or more points. Remember Dennis Dixon at Michigan? That Michigan team got off to a terrible start losing to APP St in a famous CFB upset and then getting pasted by the Ducks but that Michigan team went on to defeat Heisman winner Tim Tebow and Florida in its bowl game. Dixon ran circles around Michigan. The Michigan D handled Tebow's straight at the defense runs. Also, look at the difference in Ohio State's O this season with the immobile McCord at QB instead of running threats Fields and CJ Stroud. I think limiting Gabriel's ability to run will be a mistake. And I agree with David's excellent point about the UW D teeing off against the Oregon O, especially in the conference champ game, with Bo not being a run threat. I was very disappointed to see the Ducks come out in the champ game with no variation in the game plan. The UW DBs locked down the short passing game, took early control of the game, and Oregon could not finish the comeback win. Moore can play 4 games in 2024 without losing his red shirt. If Moore does not RS in 2024 and plays very well in 2025, he will likely be off to the NFL. But get the young man ready. He has all of the physical tools. He struggled last season except on deep passes, 20 yards or more downfield where he completed close to 90% of his throws when on his back or under the gun playing behind a leaky UCLA OL. He will be surrounded by better coaching and talent in Eugene. 2024 is a time to strike in the B1G. Michigan, even if it is the defending champ is losing the core that made UM so successful the last 2 seasons in particular. Ohio State will be breaking in a new QB and will lose a lot of skill position talent. Penn State is not on the regular season schedule. Ditto USC. And UW trips to Autzen without Penix and with a lot of skill players gone. IMO, do not rein in DG. Coach up Moore and have him ready to go. The Ducks winning the B1G in the first season in the conference would be one heck of a statement. The kind of statement that might allow Oregon to close the Buckeyes recruiting lead. Thanks again, David.

Great Game. Great Post. But I believe it was The Burnt Toast Bowl, or something like that, and not the Bahamas Bowl.
