  1. Not sure what to think of this other than it seems to be a reach. As WKU co-OC/QB in 2022, he had QB Austin Reed, now a backup w/ the Bears. Reed ended the season with 4744 passing yards across 14 games and the team had a total of 7000 yards of offense. There was a notable dropoff in 2023 - Reed remained the QB. As WSU OC in 2023, he had QB Cam Ward (now at Miami). Ward had 3700 yards passing and the team had 5000 total yards across 12 games. As WSU OC in 2024, he had QB John Mateer. Mateer threw for 3200 yards and the team had 5200 yards across 12 games - and weaker schedule. There are indications that Mateer will enter the transfer portal. ESPN reports it is a 3 year contract.
  2. I disagree. Purdue is one of the 20 or so athletic departments that do not take subsidies from the university. In the past 35 years, they've had some uncompetitive eras (Akers, Colletto, Hazell, Walters) and some competitive eras (Tiller, Hope, Brohm). Purdue was 8-6 in 2022 and 9-4 in 2021. That includes wins over #2 Iowa, #3 Michigan State, and two more top-25 upsets - and that was not very long ago. I attended both the UND and Nebraska games this year. Both were sold out. Northwestern also sold out. The other home games were within 4k of capacity. The support is there. The product this year was bad - and they took a step toward fixing it today. The right coaching staff (see Indiana) can turn around a perennial doormat rather quickly these days. They lost Scourton (10 sacks in 2023) to aTm (6 tackles last night) and several other players to the likes of Aggy, Vandy, and MSU. Deion Burks (top WR) left for OU. To me that was a sign that Walters was in trouble: top players leaving. It may be supporting your point of NIL, though, but we shall see. A competent coaching staff gets at least 5 wins out of the roster there. And a competent coaching staff also recruits better and builds a program.
  3. Ryan Walters out at Purdue. $9mm buyout. 1-11 this year. 0-9 in conference. Lost 66-0 to Indiana yesterday. I predicted around 50+ earlier in the year. Other losses of note: Notre Dame: 66-7 Nebraska: 28-10 (had more penalty yards than offense yards mid of 4th) Wisconsin: 52-6 Oregon: 35-0 tOSU: 45-0 PSU: 49-10
  4. Average: 8.1-4.5 Median: 8-5 Best: 11-2 (2012 - Sumlin) Worst: 5-7 (2022 - Jimbo)
  5. @StassneyHorn posted it on the previous page. I'll include again. Also - a couple of clicks at ESPN will yield the same result https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/splits/_/id/4889929/quinn-ewers
  6. Kind of reminds me of the old saying, "Rufus transferred from Duke to Texas A&M and the collective intelligence of both places went up." Here - Elko moved from Duke to Texas A&M - and the records improved in both places.
  7. *cachet pedantically....
  8. Not sure he understands the meaning of carnage. Mayhem? Maybe. Carnage? Hell no.
  9. Kalel Mullings interview at the end was great. "Players need to learn how to lose."
  10. Everyone who threw a punch will be suspended for the Big10 championship game. Oh, wait...
  11. Beat me to the punch. John Cooper has been reincarnated as Ryan Day.
  12. Want to see Michigan win today. Vandy is losing, UK looks like shit, and the weather has conspired for a miserable game for Arkansas.
  13. Hudson Card says, "Hi!"
  14. ESPN's "sources": Quinn Ewers set to start despite high-ankle sprain https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42694548/sources-quinn-ewers-set-start-high-ankle-sprain
  15. Tessitore is garbage
  16. ESPN is complicit. I cannot believe one of these morons did not mention it.
  17. This is like the WWE.
  18. Nice RPO by King
  19. Looks like the officials got the call from ESPN - need UGA win
  20. Nope. All the math'ers go to GT
  21. Going for 2 there makes little sense, but Smart is a clown. I have a theme
  22. Conor Stallions. And the fact that they have sucked ass against everyone else with a pulse... Edit: regardless - Kirby Smart is a clown. And will always be a clown.
  23. For reference, he makes around $5mm in total per year. As per this link: https://www.fayobserver.com/story/sports/college/football/2024/09/28/mack-brown-north-carolina-contract-buyout-details-clause-tar-heels-fired-years/75418347007/ In the event he’s fired without cause, Brown would be due an amount equal to the sum of any remaining unpaid base salary payments. As of December 1, 2024, that figure would be $2,812,500. I suspect his agent could have negotiated an "I will quit at the end of the season" deal worth at least $3mm. But, that ain't Mack.
