Yep, it looks like the only steam looks to be the teachers association and my antivirus flagged it.

I responded to him on X. I just can't believe that happened. I hurt for him. We just need to keep praying for him and his family.

Must be that kind of arthroscopic micro-surgery like Mateer had last year on his thumb. A high ankle sprain is a tear in a ligament. I've never heard of operating on a ligament in the leg and someone coming back to play in just a few weeks. Most are lost for the season.

The Net (offense $ defense combined) EPA per Play rankings is interesting because it looks a lot like the CPC taking that just came out. Texas at #4 and Mizzou at #17. 2026 College Football Advanced Stats: Net EPA per Play Team Rankings | Game on Paper https://share.google/2yfjvfmgP6k0x8AAW

Missouri's offense when adjusted for strength of schedule is #46 at 0.05 (Texas #72 at -0.01). 2026 College Football Offensive Rankings: EPA per Play, Success Rate | Game on Paper https://share.google/eEsXhpEa2SKEHiGIY

Me too!

The Aeros had great support in the NHL minor leagues. They lost the franchise because of a dispute between the Rockets owner and the Aeros owner. Something about the Toyota center lease. It wasn't because of lack of fan support. Houston always loses franchises over stadium issues. Would LOVE to see the Aeros come back in the NHL.

We need ND to lose.

I Agree!

That will be an interesting answer.

Thanks! The three versus seven is a good point.

@CJ Vogel CJ, in your analysis of Mizzou's losses to Ole Miss and Mississippi State, would you say stopping their run game was the key? In Mizzou's win over Florida, Florida struggled to stop Mizzou's 1st- and 2nd-down run game, and then their 3rd-down pass plays. I'm confident we can stop their run game, but I'm worried about stopping that 3rd-down pass play. We can't play soft.

I don't think it's a scheme change or a formula is going to fix Arch. This kid could be a superstar if he ever starts anticipating open receivers. He did it better for most of the night against Miss State and had his most efficient game of the year, however, he did go through a few series where he jumped back into the old habit of not throwing to OL is a problem, but I think you are right about Arch. The hesitancy, missing wide open receivers, and then throwing late into coverage is on him. Why that hasn't been coached out of him by now, no one knows, but when he doesn't pull the trigger early, he tends to miss wide open receivers, then gets sacked or has to scramble. Running early seems to help him some with that, but as we saw Saturday night, it still doesn't cure him 100%.

I think the context was a question about Arch holding onto the ball too long looking for that deep shot explosive play and was that a smart strategy. I think he thinks those deep shot explosive plays are his "stinger." They make the defense have to respect it and account for it.

Man your reading comprehension sucks. This was not AI's opinion either. It was a synthesis of opinions of others in the college football business. It's drawn from rankings, SM, articles on the subject, etc. That's why I said #5 is going to shock you. For whatever reason, some people out there think Flood is a good offensive coordinator.

That was a synthesis of all list, articles, ranking services, and SM opinions on the reputations of current offensive coordinators in college. That was not my list. I don't even know who most of those guys are. Again, I'll take the AI comprehensive search and compilation over your single source (yourself) opinion any day.

I'll trust it's detailed review of all list and ranking sources over your opinion any day.

This is true. I read up on the OSU situation. It was his decision to leave, however, he didn't do well and was fired from the Raiders. He has raised Northwestern's per game scoring to 33 points from 23. That's an accomplishment, and I'll give him that, but their offense is nothing special. Have you watched them?

I had AI do an online synthesizing of all lists, article mentions, social media reputations, and services lists of all current to OCs, and Chip Kelly is mentioned in the top 12 and AI says is still considered one of the best in the Nation. I haven't been impressed, but he still has a top reputation. Number 5 is going to shock you. (These are all coordinators and not head coaches) 1) Mike Denbrock (Notre Dame) — Often cited as the best pure OC in the country. Strong scheme blending, excellent red-zone sequencing, and consistent production. 2) Mike Shanahan (Indiana) — Key to Indiana’s sustained success under Curt Cignetti. Efficient, balanced attack. 3) Shannon Dawson (Miami) — Helping drive one of the top offenses (Miami was ranked No. 1 in the Coaches Poll at one point). 4) Drew Mehringer (Oregon) 5) Kyle Flood (Texas) 6) Jason Beck (Michigan) — Highest-paid OC in the country (~$3M). 7) Charlie Weis Jr. (LSU) 9) Andy Kotelnicki (Kansas) — Creative RPO/motion specialist. 10) Arthur Smith (Ohio State) — Former NFL HC/OC; has Ohio State’s offense near the top in efficiency despite a recent loss. 11) Kendal Briles (South Carolina) 12) Chip Kelly (Northwestern) — Still one of the most innovative minds in the sport. Has produced a dramatic turnaround for Northwestern’s historically weak offense. Up and comers mentioned: 1) Mitch Dahlen (Oregon State OC) — Frequently called one of the hottest names on the market this cycle. Came from Kalen DeBoer’s staff (Alabama/Washington/Fresno State). First season as a full OC. 2) Brennan Marion (Colorado OC) — Known for his “Go-Go” up-tempo offense. Relatively young (around 38) after a stint as an FCS head coach. 3) Buster Faulkner (Florida OC) — Has made an immediate impact after leaving Georgia Tech. 4) Sean Brophy (Oklahoma State OC) — Only about 29; rising quickly after working with Eric Morris. Others on the radar include Kade Bell (Pitt), Seth Doege (Arizona), and various Group of 5/Power 4 assistants who have produced efficient units and are in the 30s or early 40s.

Good stuff. It's a shame it might be wasted.

If Sark opens the QB competition up, I'm not convinced that the 3-star KJ beats out the 5-Star Dia when it's all said and done.

Mediocre. I've watched them 2x this year against a bad Oregon and Penn State defense and it's not that special. It reminds me of Greg Davis' zone read 2-man passing game offense. And OSU ran him off. Their defense won that Natty for then, not that offense.

He didn't even stick at Ohio State which is one of the premier programs in the country. He did nothing for UCLA, and on and on. He has not been that successful since he left Oregon where he was a super star, and his offense at Northwestern which I've watched 2x now is nothing special. I think he's way overrated, and Rice is putting up better numbers than Texas so that isn't saying much.
