I remember wondering about that in a social studies class in grade school one day. Football can get away with it, that’s fine. All of the other sports with the more travel involved, it doesn’t make sense. But, hey, whatever, I’ll still watch. agreed. unfortunately, its all about the football money.

This seems to have been a popular opinion, and I'm curious why. Everyone loved Dion for what he did at Jackson State, so why are so many rooting for him to fail at Colorado?

We've seen enough examples to prove that doesn't preclude his humanity could also be seriously flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't poke a little fun at each other, if we can't poke a little fun at our own foibles, then what are we even doin' here, man? Generic to the beginning of any new college football and definitely specific to Colorado this season, we just don't have anything to go on yet. Rewind to a year ago? Who knew TCU would make it the championship game last season? Who knew OSU cast off Joe Burrow would turn into LSU pigskin god Joe Burrow? Its why I hate preseason and early season rankings. Nobody knows for sure what these teams are until they start playing that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as a s**t talker who usually backs up his s**t talk, but I get how people can be turned off by his personality. That said, if being a self-centered ass is disqualifying, then probably 80% of D-1 coaches gotta go! As for kicking out half the roster of a 1-11 team, so what? I'm not gonna hold it against a guy for taking advantage of the rules available to him to improve his roster. They were 1-11 for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, there was big exodus from Michigan when Harbaugh took over. Happens with every coaching change - it's just a matter of degree depending on the local circumstance.

Motor City Sonics Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Brian Kelly..........couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Why schedule Florida State and even possibly lose, when you could schedule Little Sisters of the Poor and win 65-3? LSU will probably have to win out to make the playoff now, while Alabama and Georgia can stand to lose a game along the way. And Brian Kelly killed a kid.
