Also, are there not still players from the 2022 and 2023 teams on their roster?

So, how does their ratio of claimed to legit NCs compare to Bama's now?

You certainly know more about what goes in with the program than I do, but I've always thought that Sayin was a virtual lock to win the job simply because I've seen no indication that he's a statue to the point where it's a problem, he's widely reported to be more polished with a quicker...

My call is that after the season he does a reverse Will Howard and transfers to K-State. He’d be a great fit for their offense.

I'd considered posting exactly that, but realized that I'm honestly not smart enough to know if it's right. It might be too big and have too many powerful friends to fail.

SIAP: Forde rips UM, Harbaugh, and Stalions pretty well here: https://www.si.com/college-football/ncaa-hammers-michigan-jim-harbaugh-most-penalized-cheater-connor-stalions

One thing I'd note is that "commitments" at this point aren't real, and that we almost certainly have more late poaching potential than the middle-tier programs that are "stealing" kids from us with big bags right now. Let's see if maybe there's a three-part strategy to: (1) Hold off on matching...

Not a meme but ...

I might have to take that up. I'm about to retire from state government service and have a lot more time on my hands.

Ohio State is by FAR the most consistent of the bluebloods since 1950 or so. Our conversion rate into NCs and big bowl wins has generally not been what it should be, however. Thinking that will change as our biggest post-season games are increasing not played in exclusively hostile environments...

They have a weird sense of being similar elite better than everyone else public schools and are sort of scUM wannabes.

So, which is it? Are we pretending to be poor or “buying a national championship,” as the punditocracy tells me we are? If the schools that have true whale alum ever step up, Ohio State will not be able to hang even if we want to, so until being big but judicious spenders and emphasizing...

Texas fans will still be slobbering on their knob and seeing cultural affinity.

Nah, because I’m driven by that in a significantly lower percentage, and I don’t have any illusions that I’m on the far right tail of the virtuousness bell curve. I’ll grant that whatever the percentage is, it’s probably over 50%, but for me looking through that lens would increase rather than...

Jack Tatum says, “it took more than one game? Pfft.”

I'm in a Leonard Cohen mood today: "Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows...

This is a very reasonable take to me, and I've never been a romantic about student-athletes and what college football is and always has been. And, in the grand scheme of things, college football just isn't very important, so I try to keep my disappointment at this affront to the basic innate...

That is a really an A + analogy.

Class actions suits against UM, I presume? It's one school and only one of many cash cows. TV ratings are the real cash cow and if people get disgusted enough to stop watching games or watch far fewer games, although the vast majority won't I suppose, that seems like a much bigger hit. I will...

Bump in anticipation of the one good thing that will probably come of this shit day. Hopefully, he'll be more on fire than just resigned.
