Eventually, there will be a breaking point in college football. I thought it would have happened by now, but it evidently hasn't. I guess whatever mystery group of individuals that comprise the leadership within college football are okay with the way things are for the time being, but there...

The former players, particularly those from the Saban era, are no different than the rest of our fan base in terms of having unrealistic expectations in this new era of NIL/portal. They might have a little more visibility to certain things, but probably not much. The reality is, and hopefully...

When I first read that, I thought it should go to the non-sports board.

I think it's wise to assume that none of us know how to run a football program better than CKD. I will say though, that I don't want his undoing at Alabama to be because he couldn't make the tough decision to let someone go. Not to compare DeBoer to Shula, but Shula's unwillingness to fire...

This will be an interesting case to see the outcome. My guess is he gets the extra year. I'm not basing that on anything other than my gut feeling. I kind of want to see Chambliss another year, especially since we don't play them, but I also think it would be ridiculous if he was granted...

I can see how this could be considered calling out Harris, but I'm not sure that it really is. I think Saban was trying to make a point about player evaluations as it pertained to Indiana. He was giving the example of Jacobs and Harris, and I think it was a very relevant one. I actually think...

Personally, and I'm not saying this is right, but I don't blame the NCAA, at least not when it comes to the mess that has become college football. The conferences and the CFP have made the whole system laughable. Meanwhile, every time the NCAA tries to enforce something, they get sued. I...

I don't think it's particularly disrespectful to put us at 17. Not that long ago, that would have been a sign that not a lot of "experts" had much faith in what we were returning and adding versus other teams. Now, I don't think anyone really knows what these teams are going to look like...

It seems like we have been slow playing this process. We didn’t really get caught up in the sweepstakes for the big names that were going to demand high price tags, and instead bided our time for the initial insanity to subside. Then we came in and replaced the talent we lost with equal or...

I have to say that I applaud Simpson's loyalty to Alabama, but I think he's making a monetary mistake if Miami really offered him $6.5mm. Yes, he would risk injury, but playing against a soft ACC schedule could propel him to the top of the first round in 2027 like it did for Cam Ward.

Having followed this stuff over the last two weeks, and knowing nothing beyond what I read or hear from people much more knowledgeable than me, it seems very evident that we have a budget that probably has some level of flexibility to it, but for the most part is fairly set. We were probably...

I've been thinking a lot about why NIL is prevalent in college football and doesn't seem to be relevant in any other sport other than college basketball, but even that pales in comparison. Why isn't this done in the NFL? Both college football and the NFL have salary caps in terms of what the...

If I had to choose between having him back or getting Coleman or Smothers, I'd take Hubbard without hesitation. That's a big get. I honestly just assumed he was gone to the NFL.

So this is the kind of article that really bothers me. It discusses how DeBoer has underwhelmed so far though other programs would be happy to be in our place, how we were "quickly bounced" from the playoff. Never mind that we did win a playoff game. It seems like this is the type of article...

Oregon and Moore did themselves no favors tonight, but Indiana is just a well oiled machine. There are really no weaknesses and their offensive line play is a thing of beauty. In two playoff games, Mendoza has 5 incompletions and 8 TDs.
