    Apart from Duke/UNC, are there any competitive, must-see rivalries any more? (And even the air has come out of Duke/UNC in my opinion.)

    Great thread. In my mind, it is hard to argue with the 1980's/1990's, not only in terms of quality, but theatre. The John Thompsons, Jerry Tarkanians, Rollie Massiminos, Lou Carneseccas, and so on, down the line. As a young kid, one of my first competitive games was March 1990, Syracuse-Georgetown in the Dome, wall to wall coverage in the local and national press leading up to it. Alonzo/Dikembe on one side, and Stevie Thompson/Billy Owens/Derrick Coleman/Mike Hopkins on the other. Big John draws three techs in the first half and waives the towel etc. on the way out and up the tunnel. Gosh, and as I look at the box score, Jim Burr officiated. Hard to argue with it, and I've rushed the court before against JJ Reddick's Duke.

    This is why we're playing a Left Tackle and a Left-Most Tackle in 2026.

    So smart! They poached Livingstone!

    As I watch the Iggles, it is worth asking whether a Moro Ojomo or Alfred Collins happens in this new portal era.

    This cannot be said enough. A LG with playoff experience.

    There was talk of him ending up at Tortilla because his GF recently enrolled there, if I recall.

    Good analysis. I think the issue some of us are having is that the "extra cash" turns into dead money relatively quickly. But, that is the feeling until we actually land a skill player to get excited about.

    How was he from the right hash?

    Or a shirt - “Nobody catches the ball on my side of the field. Not even me.”

    Desmond, is that you?

    Coastal Maine? Made a long overdue return to Wells this summer with the family - first time in 30+ years.

    Can’t argue with Pere Marquette Beach. I live 45 minutes west of Chicago.
  14. genevalonghorn
    So much for that!
  15. genevalonghorn
    Absolutely not, given the injury bug we've had over the past few seasons at the position. We need to get quality options and rebuild our depth.

    You would think this would affect Baugh, no?

    A couple of unmentioned points: 1. At what point do the NIL funders/athletic donors turn up the heat here? Somebody like Larry Ellison has money to wiz away, but won't like the notion that it is being wizzed away like this. Here, either UMich, in the wake of Harbaugh, conducted a facially insufficient investigation in the spring/summer or was holding on to the key facts here, while continuing to milk the donors. 2. You have to feel for the kids who just signed and the kids who do not have enough credits to graduate and whose football team is about to hit a fire sale - quickly - unless UMich brings in a home run hire, like DeBoer. If these kids want a quality education (and there must be some), they have to hope there is room on the ranch at a Texas, a Notre Dame, etc.

    Apples and oranges. The top 4 slots last year were strictly reserved for league champions. So we were “dropped” to make room for the mid major champions.

    Alabama came out of the tunnel better than we did. Signed, the CFP
  20. genevalonghorn
    The BYU coach's agent may have just been posturing for money. I haven't seen anything taking DeBoer out of the mix, and if he lands at PSU, that is a great get.
  21. genevalonghorn
    Of course, and I think that perspective had more weight five years ago. In a world where everyone can pay players, what is LSU? They'll hold serve on Louisiana recruiting, but run into pressure on high ranked out of state kids with matching financial offers who are not inclined to live in a dump. On Alabama, this is the same program that may lose a coach to Penn State - yes, a traditional power but one that has not beaten anyone for a period of several years.
  22. genevalonghorn
    This is the problem I had when DeBoer took the job in Tuscaloosa - and it is frankly the problem I have when any HC at a program capable of winning a national championship leaves for another program (cough, Brian Kelly, Lane Kiffin). Was he that desperate to avoid the W/L stain of a post-Penix Washington Huskies program? With Kiffin in particular, how can he now say that winning a national championship is important to him? He had a team this year that is as capable as any this season, a down year for college football.

    I have no problem playing tOSU if our league schedule is weak. Slurp would be in the CFP even if they lost to ND - because they didn’t play anyone in the league until they played us. But if you have three rivalry games, UGA on the road, Vanderbilt, etc., it makes less sense.
  24. genevalonghorn
    Ten years ago, and I would agree with that. In today's landscape, Florida has a bigger denominator in the only metric that counts - $$$. LSU faces a different landscape now; all programs can do what they've been doing for years.

    He'd be a name in the mix if Rhule leaves Nebraska, I have no doubt.
