  1. It has a higher ceiling because you'll land talent. It also has a higher chance of a booster deciding to fire you after a year or two (which I guess gives you the buyout, which is nice)
  2. The best job available will go to Rhule. Which job is the best out of Auburn, Nebraska, etc will be debatable though
  3. Neal Brown has an absurdly high buyout; $20mm until January first, where it drops to $16.7mm The other one with an oddly high buyout is Norvell at FSU
  4. You gotta do what you gotta do to build a brand for recruiting
  5. I listen to six national college football pods that make picks against the spread, and I think only one of them mentioned UTSA's injury issues on the OL, and most mentioned this as being a let down/trap game for Texas but I think only one mentioned it also being a tough spot for UTSA coming off of OT games vs Houston and at Army (human idiot Danny Kanell's takeaway was that this was an advantage for UTSA because it makes them "battle tested"). I think people who cover CFB nationally are mostly missing the boat here.
  6. I'd like to hear that interview or a transcript of it, I think it's behind a sirius xm paywall though
  7. I think mocks before the season starts are mostly useless, aside from giving you a "players to potentially watch" list. Players are getting mocked on small sample size, reputation, or before their game has really been picked apart.
  8. The Athletic had Layden going #32, although it was Nate Tice (who's more of an NFL rather than a draft guy) using Dane Brugler's Big Board rather than Dane (who might be the best in the business) mocking him in the first "32. Buffalo Bills: Layden Robinson, OG, Texas A&M Our current projection has the Bills winning it all this year (or finishing with the top record, at least). So, congrats, Bills fans! The offensive line is still a bit of concern in Buffalo — 34-year-old Rodger Saffold is starting at left guard this year. GM Brandon Beane could decide to address it in the 2023 draft with Robinson. It’s never sexy to draft a guard in the first round, but QB Josh Allen is special enough to make whatever weapons are around him several tiers better, and the Bills already have Stefon Diggs and an emerging Gabe Davis in their receiver room. The Bills’ defense is a strong unit, too, but another option could be to start looking for a safety (or safeties) of the future next offseason. — Tice"
  9. Someone reputable had him there in a mock awhile back, not that mocks at that point are useful
  10. I don't think the Le Batard skit was particularly well done, but anything to spread the word helps
  11. Two of the football pods I listen to have mentioned how Miami's WRs have struggled to get separation against the weak competition they've faced so far, so if true, hopefully the guy they're getting back can make a difference there
  12. Granted they were playing with their backup for almost all of last season, but if you take out games against Kent State, New Mexico, Prairie View A&M, and Sam Houston, A&M has scored fewer than 25 points in 7/10 games. Or in other words, in 70% of their games. Also, something to consider for this weekend is Kevin Steele as a DC has faced Jimbo as an OC six times; three times at Clemson while Jimbo was at FSU, and three times at Auburn while Jimbo was at A&M, so he's familiar with Jimbo's offense. Jimbo has averaged 24.5 points in those games, with all six games being scored in the 16-31 point range. The implied score based on the betting market for this game is 25-19.5 A&M.

  14. Ninfa’s in Nav has a kickass burger
  15. In the first game they blew out Temple, which got me wondering, what the hell was the sell for Stan Drayton?
  16. Why is this game starting at 8 pm CT, which is 9 pm local time for Miami?
  17. He's off to a good start at Duke Saw a rumor that Chris Marshall has(had?) his hand in a cast from getting into it with Moose Muhammad
  18. #64, who replaced their starting RT after he went down in the first quarter of game one, but who was battling injuries in fall camp and who's left both games with injury, has two holds in 55 snaps
