SHHH. Don’t tell Chief.

You wonder how some of the legendary coaches would survive in the current environment. Rockne went 7-1-1 in 1927, then 5-4 in 1928. Would the internet be calling for his head? Think he was past his prime? He went unbeaten the next 2 seasons. Bear Bryant had a stretch when he went 6-5...

Someone said BC thinks highly of themselves. That is an understatement! I was at a wedding the other day. The groom was a BC grad. His buddies were concerned about how they’ve become non-competitive. Several of them think they should consider dropping down to FCS and joining—wait for it—the...

Virginia Tech. I think he’d fit well.

I have friends who are UMass alums and they are beside themselves over what has happened there. The whole department is in free fall. Just a mess. They thought they would at least be competitive in the MAC though they didn’t love the move. Not looking promising

Rumor is the ACC is considering reopening the lawsuit. They want FSU and Clemson to be forced out!😁

I think moving from the NFL to college or vise versa is not that easy. And not everybody can do it. 18-20 year old guys have a different understanding of the world than 30 year old guys with families and mortgages depute high salaries. And as CCSU pointed out the difference between starters...

Probably wouldn’t matter if he was like 7-4 or even 6-9.

I think it is a bit early to judge Belichick just yet. In some ways this reminds me of Sanders’ first season at Colorado. I think they were 4-8 and looked a mess. They were somehow expecting a year 1 miracle. Those happen but not that often and when they do there is often a bit of backsliding...

Let’s see. They have a chance to prove it in the regular season and failed. Then another chance in their conference tournament. Fail. Now you want to give 2 time failures another chance? I have an idea. Let’s give everyone a trophy. Heck you don’t even need to win your league to get in if you...

I generally agree though I would seriously consider a football only membership from the AAC or the PAC 12. Not the MAC. An on-campus stadium would be great. It wouldn’t be 50,000. Probably in the 30-40000 range. I guess the low end.

One of my friends, a BC fan, refers to the current state of their athletic department, excepting hockey, as having been Jetified! He grew up in Hauppaugue and his family had Jets season tickets for years. We have adopted the term to describe things that are such a mess you can’t figure out how...

Riley at USC is probably going to be in the middle of the pack again. They won’t get rid of him right now but they would like to. These guys get huge buyouts and schools are hesitant to pay them ZI think even when the coaches don’t perform. You’re going to the same folks for NIL and to buy out...

Seriously Edney vs Clingan was man vs boy. We won because our other guys, especially Newton, were way better than there other guys. On Khalid he brought something that UConn had been missing. Rip had the chance the year before and couldn’t deliver. Ray had a chance and couldn’t deliver. They...

We don’t win in 99 without Khalid. He wasn’t the best player , just the most important. I’d say the same with 23 and 24. In fact Clingan was badly outplayed by Edney. Edney had 37 pts 10 rebounds. Newton was the guy in that game. They weren’t the best players maybe but they were the most...
