I agree. Some people argue the blue bloods squaring off are better. Tv ratings show that as well so ultimately the NCAA and the conferences banking off this are loving it.

But I’m with you when no dog in the fight I’m riding the George Mason or Florida Gulf Coast Train all the way and I could give two shits about the 100th installment of Duke Michigan State.

I think you’ve already been beat to it. I’ve already seen Trump forever stuff, Jr/Ivanka 28/32, shit like that. Hell Trump retweeted a thing that had a rapid timeline of Trump 28, 32, etc etc. But yeah definitely not a cult and he’s definitely not fascist 🥴

We know for sure Vigen, Rogers, and Mora were serious candidates. Had Dickert given up a little earlier, we’d probably had Eck. Other two interviews were Moore and Shephard.

Mora was seriously pissed he didn’t get the job, so I’m guessing it wasn’t as limited moneywise as we think

And now 5 of the elite 8 are SEC teams.
🤮

Even worse, the lowest seeded team remaining is a 3. It’s boring when there’s no Cinderella.

I’m going all Brian Bosworth and will be copyrighting Trump 2028. MAGA will make me a pile of money with all the T Shirts,Hats and Signs they’ll buy. Understanding basic civics will not be a requirement to purchase.

Oh we have an understanding how "old" civics lessons worked ... however that is when Canada was an Allie and Russia was an enemy. Ever read the book 1984?

If Donnie can run again in 2028 we know what that means - 4 more years of Barack Hussein Obama.

What killed this board is a lack of a moderator to keep all the political crap off of it.

I looked at Massey's ratings and the average of our 2024 regular season FBS opponents was 83.5. For 2025, the average is 77.0. Not a huge difference. Last year we had six home games, five road games and one "neutral" site game. This year, we have six true road games. In my mind, the multiple cross country trips is going to be the challenge.

In Massey's current rating, we have 4 games where we should be heavy favorites (Idaho, SDSU, Toledo and La Tech), 2 games where we'll favored by more than three points (@ CSU and @ North Texas), 4 games that are tossups (@ Virginia, @ OSU, @ JMU and OSU), and two games where we will be 7+ point underdogs (UW and @ Ole Miss). If this team was more settled, this is the kind of season where I'd think that 11-1 was possible......

Speaking of which, saw this the other day regarding online political content and how it skews heavily to the right. This includes programs that aren’t supposedly overtly political but present political leanings nonetheless. Remember this the next you hear some rightwing snowflake whining about liberal bias.

I dunno about clearly more difficult. The travel is more difficult for sure. I’d have to look at how many P4, G5 and FCS games there are between the 2 schedules.

8-4 with a new coach, who knows what roster, havent seen yet schemes seems generous to me.
