I wouldn't bet on it.

Still remember last year and another one of Stockstill's eight losses to Rich Rod, expect no different outcome this time. This team hasn't shown they can go on the road and win

So we have a chance...

I wish my bank deposits worked like our attendance counter.
Deposit $4000, but actually it's $10,200.

There must have been about 6,000 folks behind the glass in the suites. It was awful!

In an era of DEI, inclusiveness, lifting everyone up to the same level (not sayin I agree with all those approaches) you would think someone would have the balls to stand up for the athletes and schools that don’t have hundreds of millions to spend.

Equal opportunity (not necessarily outcome) is all that can be asked for, but it’s clear there is no chance at an opportunity for the VAST majority of schools and their athletes. But nobody seems to care.

When discussing the things that are a part of this "era" in time let's not forget the "elites". Funny how deep down it's the "elitist groups" that end up controlling everything for themselves. The sports world isn't that much different than other things in the world.

Honestly, besides five or six on the squad, I do not see any candidates for the 2025 two deep. I see PT for every single newcomer next season.

I don't believe in in-season rule changes. Don't like it, wait till off season. He used football smarts.

That's one of the many reasons I quit watching NASCAR in the early 2000s. A smart crew chief would exploit a loophole and they'd change the rule. Took away all the creativity of it.

I wonder if the NCAA would have "adjusted" the rule if Ohio State had been the guilty party.

Never can get Facebook shares to show up here so I grabbed a screenshot.

Awesome photo of the athletics corner years ago.

Oh Mike. The rich and powerful are never going to cede an inch. Why would they?

They will continue to take and take and take and take until there is nothing left to take. That's what the rich and powerful do. They are the private equity (vultures) of CFB.

It's time to strip mine the sport. They do not care about parity, individual schools, fans, etc. They speak one language. Money.

The only recourse is a total withdraw of financial support. I proudly cancelled my cable subscription 6 years ago and will never pay another cent towards college athletics. I watch illegal streams online and do so proudly. With an adblocker, it's honestly easier to scroll through the games that way. Plus every single sporting event on the planet, from russian table tennis to cricket, mexican baseball, whatever....everything is available at my finger tips without having to search and shuffle around a bunch of different websites and services. For TV shows and movies, it is even easier. There's literally zero reason to give these assholes money anymore. Especially the $200/month that they demand for a good cable/internet package.

I do have ESPN+ for free because of my verizon subscription, which I feel bad about. I hate to see any money funneled towards Disney/ESPN. I'll probably be switching my cell service next spring to AT&T when I get their Fiber package.

He absolutely not wrong. At all. I've said for a while now the game needs someone like Chris Peterson running it all. Saban got out because of where the game is heading. He wouldnt be good for directing it into the future. Peterson is 12yrs younger and has been around a while and extremely successful and respected.

It for sure shouldn't be any of the current conference commissioners. No way.

If we can hold onto the ball and reduce penalties, we might have a chance at three more wins. UTEP, FIU and maybe one more. Of course, we could lose all those as well.

Dave almost all of Boots teams would beat this one sans maybe the first one.

So maybe that’s the comparison. Hopefully DM turns this around like Boots did. I’m just literally angry and upset they have mismanaged this program so much that they wasted two plus decades to the point we are basically starting over as a I-A program while western who came behind us cruises to another potential conference title. Still no conference title here in over three decades.

UTEP beats FIU and gets Walden his first win.
Kennesaw and Kent are now the only two winless FBS teams.

WKU handed SHSU their first conference loss and now is tied for first place at 3-0.

Edit...crazy fact.
The top four teams in CUSA are a combined 18-7.
The other six are 9-31.
