I still can’t believe how easy our schedule appeared heading into the season compared to how difficult it’s become. Heres the SP+ rankings of each of our final 6 games: #11 Oregon #16 Nebraska #19 UCLA #22 Iowa #26 Northwestern #88 Maryland That is a gauntlet. 5 of our final 6...

NIL and the portal has ruined the game. There is no parity anymore. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50211284/connelly-week-7-upsets-mean

And Florida only played 8 guys (technically 9, but the 9th was 1 minute).

If we had a 4OT game, would we score 150?

That's why my post specifically said:

In their first exhibition, Cincy beat Ohio St, currently #21 in KenPom. Cincy played 10, we played 12 (which without Mirk means we went 13 deep).

Based on the exhibition game that doesn’t count and likely doesn’t tell us anything, here’s my guess for highest to lowest in minutes on the season: Mirk Andrej QC Tomi J Davis Brown Vaaks Z L Davis Jakstys Williams Morillo Zens

We have our... 8th man?

Dude, this is just not true. Bret and Josh have both advocated for the 24-team playoff to increase likeliness of making the playoff. Seems like that’s another huge aspect of the expansion.

There's a lot to think through here. On a personal level, I'm one of Robert's seventeen. So if I were a billionaire donor, I'd allocate more of my resources towards football because I'm more passionate about it, but I also understand that's likely a minority opinion amongst this fanbase...

It's not unreasonable, no. But it is silly. It's silly to assume, that is, that Bret doesn't have a plan. This is a 9-figure program with a team of 15-20 people who do nothing except work on making it better. Bret lives in the office. Him and Josh single-handedly pulled this program out of the...

A couple thoughts: 1. For sure, this was a bad offseason by Bret. The timing of the Henry firing, the Hauck hire, the portal additions on defense. All missteps. 2. But if you want a good program, and you have the financial resources to help, help. Because offering less funds certainly won’t...

I know I’ve probably belabored this point too much already, but: Pretend you’re a Purdue fan. Would you be happy or mad at a booster is withholding a million dollars that could be used for recruiting? Happy, right? If your grand plan for Illinois football would make our enemies happy...

I think bluemountain's got it figured out. Recruiting isn't where it needs to be to complete. The solution? Withhold funds that would be used for recruiting. Our fanbase literally argues against the improvement of our program.
