It was a fun match to watch. I’ll provide some feedback later. I’m currently smashing beers with some friends.

Badass driving a badass car. Makes sense

That car is filthy, love the color scheme. Definitely well earned and he needs reasonable means of transport for his final year.

Amazing catch JSN!

Congratulations to Mike Vrabel, former Ohio State bad ass mother fucker and Browns coaching and personnel assistant on his win and trip to the Super Bowl.

Where is LSU getting all this money?

Good question. Didn't Kelly have to donate to their NIL a couple of years ago?

I’m waiting for a player ruled ineligible to just start playing and see what they do. Particularly if it’s a wealthier school. Outside of the 60 minutes of game time do we have any enforceable rules?

Well, when bball players can go pro and come back 3 years later…..apparently that would be a NO

Probably about eight inches here in NE OH. Funny thing is a town 20 minutes to the east of me has two inches.

3) "No cop, no stop" seems to be the rule of the land in my neighborhood.
2) Yeah.. this one doesn't bother me. But I think this is legitimate.
1) I agree, but... so I drive a tiny car. I got it when I was driving to/from Philly every other week and got paid for miles. Made a lot of extra money. But, sitting in a parking spot surrounded by huge trucks, SUVs, whatever, I have to back out without seeing. Of course, I go slowly, looking as much as I can. But you get these assholes who don't give a fuck and go flying by behind me without giving anyone a chance. Sure, your point is valid and the other guy (you) has the right-of-way. But give me a break - it's not like I'm trying to cut you off and make it late for your daughters 2nd birthday party.

Some people back out like they're at a drag race and give you dirty looks when they have to slam on their brakes in order to avoid hitting you. A few years ago I was hit by an old couple backing out of my space because they had cut through the parking lot looking for a closer space, I was 3/4 the way out when they hit me.

Even Fielding Yost is shaking his head on this one.

Why? Did the dude change his name to continue his career? Yost not only condoned, he encouraged that to make up his roster.

My great-grandson had student tickets.

If we all put our money together, we can put a Buckeye Planet patch on a preferred walk this season. Lol

Not looking good

I think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.

IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won.

If it's me, I'm looking at those viewership numbers and also at my sister pro leagues NFL vs MLB and thinking
-this (and a lot of other data) validates the appetite for the sport of college football (not just the heavyweight brands). It is an important distinction.
-I see how the NFL monetizes "the shield" and promotes the entire league by one central promotion of the brand.
-I look at MLB and see the alternative approach and how a few mega brands are separating so far from minor brands that the league is in jeopardy of impaired revenue.

There needs to be a P4 League of some sort and soon. I think this is known and understood in the halls of CFP power and is the reason behind the pushback on the PE capital injection into the B1G sports entertainment entity. They pretty much said in comments that they didn't want to have media rights locked up long term right now ....I read that as wanting to have the optionality to take said rights to a new league.

Given the constraint (NIL isn't going away) I don't see too many other avenues than a P4 "super league" of some sort.

I liked the Patricia hire.

Not a fan of this….mostly because it means we’re leaning even more into a conservative offense, IMO.

I am of the opinion that Day molds his coaches in the image he has for his offense and defense. In no world would I imagine that Day would just hire a coordinator that wasn't willing to do things he wants to do, and the way he wants it done. Day is a control freak.

Day has the pass game pretty much at a premier level. There are two things that seem to elude him. 1. special teams and 2. run game.

From what is out there, Smith is good with the run game.

I wonder if this approach is actually going to start forcing kids to stay put. They have to understand if you’re not a star you need to either stay put or go somewhere small to play.

The big players are just going to poach what they need from the smaller schools like farm systems

Could Texas have a potential OL issue in 2026 too?

Texas, Alabama among teams with lingering roster question marks as 2026 transfer portal cycle winds down​

With transfer options dwindling, these teams face some question marks entering spring football​

Texas: Offensive line​

The offensive line was the weak spot of Texas' 2025 roster, forcing Steve Sarkisian to replace two mainstays from that unit. He landed a likely starter at tackle in Melvin Siani but could still benefit from adding a ready-made option on the interior.

Given the Longhorns' aggressive approach at other positions -- and their flawless execution in a highly successful cycle -- it was somewhat surprising that they were only involved with one highly regarded lineman. Perhaps Siani's arrival, combined with another year of development from Trevor Goosby, Brandon Baker and Connor Robertson, will be enough to spark improvement and fill the remaining gap on a championship-caliber roster.

They had Oline issues all this past year.
