  1. No sir, no... Corn need to go to the Big XII because karma is a bitch.
  2. I mean has any of the lessers ever even won 10 games in a season? Forget the notion of those weak lessers even sniffing the difficulty of the 10 games ND won. Such a travesty, ND should just be awarded the National Championship Trophy over the others. Let's cancel the CFP, no need for it.
  3. The tell of the tape in this CFP is going to reveal the hard reality that the rest of us already knew. The G5 has no business, financially or competitively, being in the CFP. None.
  4. Yeah ND hitching part of it's wagon seemed fairly solid at time but it's becoming clear now that plan was built on a weak foundation.
  5. I mean.. yes it is a loan in the way that borrowing money for a loan shark for your gambling debt is a loan. But is that really a loan? Are pay day loans really loans? Or are they indentured servants until the debt owner gets tired of fucking you and throws your lifeless corpse in the Hudson?
  6. I would say partially true in a short sighted way, partially absolutely a massive miss. Yes, Texas vs Michigan will draw massive numbers. I would confidently wager it will top all the first round CFP games save perhaps Miami and A&M. Now slot in Texas for JMU and ND or BYU (cause fuck ND) for Tulane. That gives you a first round of: Texas vs Oregon Bama vs OU BYU (ND) vs Ole Miss Miami vs aggie A second round of: Texas or Oregon vs Tech Bama/Ou vs Indiana ND/BYU or Ole Miss v Georgia Miami/aggie vs OSU (which will be a blow out either way) The first round goes from 2 complete hammers and a replay to 3 absolute killers and a 4th interesting one. It would also set up for potentially far more interesting 2nd round games for fans. Texas or Oregon vs Tech? BYU or ND vs Georgia? They missed the boat on big money. Feel free to throw Vandy in for ND/BYU if you like. The committee didn't abide by the #1 god. Money and his good friend greed.
  7. It was sarcasm. It's a huge contributor to why our staff didn't see the issues with our OL and the offensive game plan prior to stepping on the field against OSU.
  8. A very easy, fundamental fix to this fucked up POS system is you must be in P4 conference to qualify. That simultaneously forces ND into a conference and put the G5 absolute bullshit on the bench. There is no financial, fairness or any logical reason to include G5 in the CFP. In fact, it's counter fairness Look at the schedule of the two G5s playing. Also, watch the TV numbers on those games.
  9. We should just stop practicing all together or at least stop contact in practices and just throw against air. The NFL does it, what could go wrong?
  10. Both of these schools were able to beat Florida and both beat ND. And... that's it. Combined they've beaten ND and that's why theyre in the CFP... I guess if you're offering shit tartar or a shit sammich the bread is the most palatable part so...shit sammich it is I guess. I will find joy because one has to lose. I hope it's a blow out, I guess.
  11. Now THAT is funny. OU is gonna Bama vs Georgia struggle offensively vs IU. They will need an INT to get across the 50. It's very kind to call their offense questionable.
  12. Let's talk about your use of the word objectively, fans demanding Saban level performance and future Indiana doom. Let's talk objectively. Texas is evaluated at #1 in most NIL evaluations but certainly top 5. Sark is the #5 paid coach in the game. As of Oct 8th 2025, The rest of the top 5 coaching Salaries: 1) Kirby Smart (Georgia) 2) Ryan Day (OSU) 3) Lincoln Riley (USC) 4) Dabo Swinney (Clemson) For the record 6) Dan Lannning (Oregon) 7) Kalen DeBoer (Bama) 10) Lane Kiffin (formerly Ole Miss) Top 5 NIL evaluations per 247 sports : #2 OSU #3 LSU (coach fires mid season) #4 Georgia #5 Texas A&M #7 Alabama #8 Florida (coach fires mid season) #10 OU Per CFBStats Texas is: #75 Total Offense #101 Rushing Offense #44 Passing Offense #37 Total Defense #101 Passing Defense #10 Rushing Defense Texas lost 3 games, one of them to Florida isn't in the CFP. Objectively, Texas is the worst money to performance of any team that didn't fire its head coach save arguably Clemson and USC for head coaching Salaries only. Cignetti, in his second year has accomplished the same feats Sark has in 5 and one he hasn't. Undefeated heading into the playoffs. Cignetti has also in his second year beat the best team in his conference to get to 1-1, ya know the same one Sark lost to, 2 times in a row, OSU. Whereas Sark has gone 0-3 vs Georgia. You want to wave the Sark flag of victory for CFP appearances that took Sark 3 years to reach whereas Cignetti did it his first year AT INDIANA. Elko did it in his second year at A&M. Sark missed it in his 5 year with the top rated QB prospect, OF ALL TIME. You want to celebrate how much Sark has improved the program.... over Tom fucking Herman and Charlie Strong. That's a pretty low fucking bar. That's your objective measure of success. You want to see what happens if Cignetti takes a step backward after back to back CFP appearances???? You think "they" will "say nothing". Is this your first year watching college football? It's fine to carry the Sark flag, but stop going full aggie with the CFP appearances on the wall. Don't use words like objectively if you aren't using any objectivity.
  13. If you don't like what he's saying put together an opposing, and equally in depth counter of film study with break down of plays. Go into equal detail and support your points that counter his. You're using vague general statements with no data points on drops vs catches. Negative vs positive. Figure out how many yards and how much momentum the drops cost us, do a CBA on the positives and the yards and momentum his catches brought us. You know a full CBA on positive vs negative and convince us why the good out weighs the bad. If the CBA doesn't show that the good out weighs the bad, help us understand why that is not a failure on behalf of the coaching staff to have such a player be the teams #1 WR. Help us understand how these issues were 100% unavoidable. Help us understand why all accountability of choices by coaches or errors in evaluation and talent gaps falls onto the player(s).
  14. Just wanted to drop in and say I appreciate the format and effort you're putting in @Thatguy I know what a grind it is to create posts like this are and the time you're investing for free and probably a lot of flack. It is noted. So thanks! I suspect I won't agree with all of your takes, but based on our historical engagement I'll probably agree with most. To quote on of my favorite college football podcasters, Roll the Tape!
  15. Well, the announcements of our new OC, OL coach, and DBs coach are encouraging. I'm sure the GM replacement will come out soon. Wait.... none of those have been announced? I'm sure we'll hear them all very soon, because we all agree change is in order. Right?
  16. My list is a lot shorter than yours. 1) Don't be a criminal 2) Don't protect criminals on your team 3) Dont be a scum bag off the field 4) Win
  17. Welcome my friend... HOO HOO Hoosiers!!!!
  18. Don't look now but Duke still leads Virginia.
  19. They won't. The PC thing is even, the under dog thing is even, the numbers greatly favor Mendoza.
  20. Well coached, disciplined, with a solid offensive and defensive game plan and players who absolutely leave it on the field. That's what a championship caliber team looks like and Cignetti is doing it with lower star players in his second year at IU. A cellar dweller. It's insanely impressive by all measurements.
  21. Nobody knows. Not even him.
  22. Mendoza just won the Heisman.
  23. Shockingly the Duke v Virginia is too.
