    Still as true today as ever...big games come down to special teams, and turnovers. Indiana won both of those tonight, and presto, there's your national champion.

    Adding to that, the great Matt Leinart took ballroom dancing as his only class in Fall 2005. We've been here for a while now.

    Pains me to say it, but Miami. Just too dominant in the trenches, and should win on both sides of the ball. I think Ole Miss will make some dynamic plays on offense, but it won't be enough. Miami, 31-21. Also, how the heck did Miami lose two games, badly?

    I'm confident Freeman is not going anywhere. ND will do whatever it takes to keep him. While this whole UM thing has gone crazy over the last...checks notes...20 hours, the bigger conversation around Freeman is the Giants opening. Freeman is repped by Trace Armstrong, by the way.

    Saw this yesterday from a PE guy.... Private equity guy notes: -Does *everyone* need helmets? -What if we replaced this scout team with AI? -What if we bought Weber State, rolled it up into our operations, then eliminated redundancy? -Our fan sweatshirts transition to a subscription model...
