Kent State Golden Flashes (official thread)

I went there in the early 90s. That was some bad football. 3 wins in my 4 years there. My Sophomore year I had a roommate from the Pittsburgh area that would go home a lot on the weekends.

Kent State football is a stepping stone program for coaches to get a better job if they have success. I blame them for not hiring Nick Saban in 1987.


They got $1.5 million from Oklahoma and $1.2 million from Florida State.
We must have overlapped there. I believe the football team managed a total of four wins in my four years.

2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

I wonder why there was no interest. Lack of talent ? Behavior issues? His own coach warned teams?

Its a mix of him not fitting the mold of an NFL QB and his attitude. If he was less over the top arrogant douche some team may have taken a late round flyer on him. Nobody is going to want a headache from a player who's 99.9% not going far. He's got a top pick attitude for a UDFA camp fodder caliber player. That doesn't fly

Drafted from the 2024 Buckeyes

Comparison (to date) of the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes with the 2001 Miami Hurricanes, often considered to be the most talented CFB team of all time. Several Buckeyes from the 2024 team (Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Kenyatta Jackson, Brandon Inniss, et al) will be eligible for the 2027 NFL draft, so I will update this comparison next year.

Iowa Hawkeyes (Official Thread of The Under)

I hear you, but I wasn’t thinking banning them. I was thinking of how many people, other than Buckeye fans, would bother to watch The Game if Michigan spent 5 years as a team that won an average of two games per season, i.e. Indiana pre-Cignetti.
Nonsense. The world didn't stop spinning while they had Hoke and Rich Rod. This myth that CFB needs Michigan is tired.
