33 - I was thinking about that yesterday. For sure, Lando would take that #1 next year even if it’s just rub Max a bit.

The Big Ten doesn’t share any ticket revenue. Schools keep all their gameday money. The same is true with individual licensing for clothing and other logo merchandise. The $75M is from media rights, bowl payouts and NCAA tournament payouts. That’s mainly it. Even if they ND are keeping bowl and tournament money for themselves, they are still many millions short of a current B10 share

All of Notre Dame’s problems have the same cause. They insist on being independent in a system where you need alignment. Join the Big Ten and get everything gets better. It’s got to be an ego thing at this point because the money doesn’t even make sense. They get $50M from NBC yet the Big Ten is expected to give out $75M.

He’d be the perfect coach for Underwood. He’s got nothing at UW. The cupboard was completely bare after DeBoer. I figured they were going to be in the Purdue/Maryland cellar. He’s got them at .500 after 2 seasons.

The game has changed and the head coach doesn’t drive recruiting anymore. It’s all NIL and General Manager and Front Office staff. These are the key drivers now in recruiting. Wink could be head coach and it they would still pull a huge class. Nick Saban would be the first call and he would say no. Minter or Georgia DC Glenn Schumann would be my top choices. Jedd Fisch would be next.

New cars for next season raises the potential for a complete shifting of the grid. I don’t think it’s likely but we could have a complete changing of the guard. Who knows Aston Martin and Williams could end up fighting for a championship.

It’s not as bad as sending a kid onto a scissor lift in a windstorm but skipping a major bowl game over this is a very bad decision from the Irish. That is quality practice and development time that is wasted. There are early entry Freshman they won’t get a chance to practice early with the team.

Nothing will change all that much as long as Sherrone is the HC. He’s a placeholder and not the longterm solution. The sooner they cut bait and move forward, they can seriously start competing for championships again.

I’ve been using Claude. I like it better than both ChatGPT and Grok.

Kalshi has Marcus Freeman as favorite for the Giants job. That would be great if they lost their coach too.

Good post! This is pretty much exactly how I feel.

It was already going to be tough to find the money Gibbs in now going to cost much more than previously expected. Not sure he’s in the long term plans anymore and maybe the same with LaPorta.

The Sports Illustrated Championship DVD is going to be so awesome.

Big props to the coaches. They weren’t stubborn and made noticeable changes on both sides of the ball. They were also flawless with both in game and clock management.

We may have the best player in the league. That’s a really big game changer. I’m not sure if this team loses again!

This is a big game. Dallas is not a big game team. They’ve lost many more of them than they’ve won since the 90’s. They are also a different team on the road. They’ve beaten nobody of substance on the road this year. The Lions haven’t lost back to back games in more than 3 years. Lions 24 Cowboys 16

Such a shame. I really liked him and thought he had a bright future. That car is career ender.

You shouldn’t drink Kool-Aid anyway. That stuff’s for kids. Liquor is for adults. The adults drinking liquor think the Lions are going to win this game tonight! Wait, hold on a second…

I can see Matt Patricia being the next head coach at Penn State.

A wonderful early signing day for U$C! For a cool $9M, they have purchased 32 high schoolers and the #1 ranking. Finally able to put all that money to good use. Interesting is many top schools front loaded NIL deals for their current roster and portal transfers this past summer as a loophole to pay out prior to rules changes. U$C elected to do this with a few of their top high school recruits in states that allow it. Some of these kids that signed today were already paid a first installment of a couple hundred thousand dollars while still in high school. The bet is that the new college football regulating board won’t do anything about schools using this loophole prior to the existence of the new committee.

I think it would be a wonderful thing for the restaurants to help out a charity with a $10,000 donation to a great cause at the holidays. Giving back is always worth it.

I was watching them two weeks ago and thinking the same thing.

I think that has to be it. They are so concerned over playing favorites and letting them settle it on the track that they’ve given an advantage to Red Bull. The cards are all on the table now and Oscar’s odds of winning are tiny. He and the team have to do the right thing and work to get Lando the title. They still have a huge advantage. I can’t imagine Lando finishes off podium.

I’m not ready to start taking about next season yet. They are in a bad spot right now but the NFL is weird. Things can change quickly especially when you have a talented roster. If they can shore up a few weak links and get a bit healthier, they will make the playoffs. This year things are more wide open than ever in the NFC and anyone in the tourney will have a great chance to get to the Super Bowl.
