1. The players all know each other as they have spent a lot of time together. The fans don’t know the new players. Most fans are not accustomed to needing a program to decipher the code of who is who. Some will find this annoying as they look to enjoy the game and get to know the players. Put me in this camp. It is not a big deal- but it is a bit…[Read more]

I think you are probably right here. My question is how many people would shed tears over Cal dropping football? I don’t think that many. None in Georgia and Ohio, and probably not that many in the Berkeley area.

I am not trying to say whether it would be good or bad for Cal to drop football but it would certainly not destroy college football if…[Read more]

I’ll be contrarian and say yes the system is sustainable. Given that it all started with judicial intervention rather than planned policy, it will take time for changes (hopefully improvements) to catch up. I suspect there will be formalization of the NIL deals with some type of time commitments for players accepting deals.

The system will allow…[Read more]

Are you suggesting that Whitt should trust an offense where the QB has an equal TD/INT ratio?

Riseas that is a fine post- but your profile pic is not so pleasant. Not sure what is going on there but it makes me wish I had not noticed it!

Truth

I suppose some management teams just don’t want to deal with the spectacle- they would rather focus on getting ready for the season. Apparently his talent has not been deemed spectacular enough to outweigh the circus.

He will get his shot and if he is good enough he will be just fine. Perhaps he will refrain from continuing the Prime pageant- or…[Read more]

Don’t be silly. Everyone wants to have an effective passing attack, and when we had such a passing attack we won the P12 sending to the Rose Bowl- twice. Or perhaps you forgot about that.

As I remember, those teams caught forward passes. But don’t let anything get in your way of a false narrative.

Nah. I’ll watch him play next year and will be rooting for the entire team to succeed.

My expectation is that they will find a way to limit the overly frequent and spontaneous transferring but they will not be able to prevent Ohio State from paying more than Utah.

It is all new and occurred due to judicial intervention rather than an actual plan. It will improve. Just don’t hold your breath waiting for a level-playing field.

The varsity-Ute version, sadly, did not exist.

I’m glad the world did not video capture my worst adolescent moments.

Every college coach has a big job in shaping these, dare we say it, frequently spoiled youngsters.

I hope it works out. Jahki has enormous potential.

There is no financial ROI. It is more like spending money on your fish tank or your garden- strictly hobby level.

The ROI is all emotional- same ROI as we normal peeps might get from buying season tiks or donating to Crimson Club.

He was running- strict measurement is from standing still.

Dude obviously has huge springs though! Very impressive.

Cam Rising is expected to lead Utah to its first Big 10 Championship in 2026

NIL can not be capped any more than Lebron’s endorsements. It is that simple. The previous rules limiting college athlete’s ability to control their name and likeness were deemed illegal by the judicial system.

New rules would have to take some other form- but endorsement money is out of the barn, running around the neighborhood, and isn’t going…[Read more]

Negative national sentiments will come if they win. No one will care if they lose.

This notion is with the knowledge that Cam would never return. That is easy in retrospect. All decisions are easy in retrospect.

There was no way for Whitt to know that Cam was done. A healthy Cam would have changed everything. Obviously it didn’t happen and Whitt looks like a dunce. If cam came back Whitt would have looked like a genius.…[Read more]

Well..

Looks like the SEC has some top-end quality after all with 4 of the elite 8.

I tip my hat to you guys who can watch the ladies play basketball. Paint drying and all.

Don’t know who this is or what she wants in life but I wish her the best.
