Medium excited until I saw that the final four and championship will be held right here @ Butler (Indianapolis). A rare chance for me to see the Running Utes in action. Go Utes!

Player development is a little harder argument to make when it comes to NIT vs bowl games. Half the field in the NIT will be done in a couple of days. IF you make a deep run sure, but otherwise its just an extra few days. Bowl games give you a month of extra practice at least.

Not great. Browns also just signed Jameis Winston as back QB and are heavily invested in Watson. Would take a lot for Snoop to be the starter.

Spot on. If this all goes down and Utah ends up on the outside that will mark the end of me caring at all about cfb. Much like the LIV drama has diminished my interest in the PGA. The question is then, if this all happens and Utah ends up in the group. What is the interest level? I’m almost morally conflicted about remaining a fan after half of…[Read more]

You are kidding yourself if you think the comparison is between SLC and Bloomington/West Lafayette/Champaign. Those are college towns that nobody stays in. The relevant market for IU is Indianapolis (my home) which easily supports an NFL team. The Illini market is Chicago. I would think that a Super League would take one of IU/Purdue, and one of…[Read more]

I think itz pretty clear that Barnes understands that his days of playing QB are limited. Might as well milk it while it lasts. He has some local celebrity and can pile up some degrees. USU seems like a good spot even if he isn’t starting. Happy for the kid and wish him the best.

I mean if I was getting paid $500k to be at the U, Id still be in school… Really depends on what their options are in the league.

If true I am glad that Utah is playing this game and keeping up with the Joneses for the time being. I am all for these guys being compensated but we need to get some fair play rules or this whole thing will run away from us.

Maybe I am just a sicko but I loved Bill’s commentary.

Wow that seems like a terrible strategy…

Dan Carlin has a great series called Supernova in the East about this period. Imperial Japan was terrible. I am rethinking my earlier post. My knee-jerk reaction is that the sports/war blending is always in poor taste, but we are talking about a service academy here and the Doolittle Raid was a very important and heroic effort. Too much…[Read more]

“Japanese people do go to Pearl Harbor. And watch the movie clip. And cheer at the end.” Doubt it.

Those uniforms are slick, very poor taste to market them this way though.

The guy will have played significant time in 4 college games, two of which were Rose Bowls, and faced Ohio State, Penn State, Florida, and Wazzu.

Was listening to a recent Bill Riley and Sly stated that if he was a full practice participant by this Thursday (2-weeks out from game 1), he would assume that Cam isn’t playing. I tend to agree. Two weeks of live practice is a pretty short on-ramp, even for an experienced player. I am shifting focus to hoping he can be ready for league play. The…[Read more]

Did I accidentally drop into UF.net? Get it together. We are in fall camp/realignment and we are clutching our pearls about some maxi pads in the bathroom? You sure you didn’t need one?
