  1. Un-possible. Watching it in a West Lafayette brewery with sound off. It’s really bad regardless. Saw 2 things, though. (1) halftime shoes involved dogs catching frisbees. (2) Helfrich is a commentator. So… you may be right.
  2. Purdue coach really pissed off the refs on that drive. Right tackle held on the touchdown. Oh well.
  3. Purdue is horribad.
  4. He ended their seven game sack drought
  5. We could care less.
  6. Running ceiling fans for a couple hours after is what we have always done.
  7. Yeah. Agree. Dumb statement. I concede I was an emotional keyboard warrior.
  8. The fix is. in. NFL does not want Pittsburgh to have seven straight wins. So many utterly garbage shit calls by the officiating team illegal touching what they ever living fuck Going to go grab another beer ha ha
  9. Found on the internets. Flattish? 😊🤘
  10. The full $4mm requires that he work in the athletic department in some capacity through the tenure of his contract. I suspect the thought they could tell him, “assistant janitor gets you the full $4mm. GTFO now and we’ll give you $1mm.”
  11. I could care less.
  12. Seems like it would be a useful stat if football teams played 40+ games. And not very useful for reflection on a single game. For example, every team on that chart w/ a (-) result won their game.
  13. Similarly, the top 20 from Sagarin - Texas has the #7 SOS of that list. And Aggy/Tenn are only marginally better.

  14. If Aggy/UGA/Tenn really believed that Texas paid for a better schedule, the first thought should have been, "Why did we not think of that first?" NOT, "look at them Austin folks influencin' and buyin' the outcomes." It's not like those programs are poor. Logic should have taken them to at least ask the question and conclude, "Oh, yeah. Probably not the case." But, logic is the key word here...
  15. Boise also has one of the most interesting and entertaining players in all of college football - Ashton Jeanty. The only CFP ranking that matters is the last one. These are for entertainment purposes - and all of the analysis and 2nd guessing is good for the sport. All publicity is good (well, except the news that Bama LB who sent a sordid message to DeBoer's daughter).
  16. Put this on the carousel thread, but will add here... Last week, Herman fired DC Roc Bellantoni. They are rehiring him to report to the interim coach, Chad Lunsford.

  18. Why would any agent agree to reassignment terms, esp. in a mercenary era of college coaching?
  19. It's Bama -14 now on DraftKings.
  20. IMO, 3rd round to a competent organization might not be that bad, all in all. The Simms interview from earlier highlighted it: he's a first-read guy and holds the ball too long. I do not know if that was always the case, though. In the year he was recruited, QB rankings (draft year and slot in parens - or present status): Ewers (Texas by way of tosu) Caleb Williams (2024 1.1) Sam Huard (Utah, by way of Washington and Cal Poly) Drake Maye (2024 1.3) Brock Vandagriff (Kentucky QB by way of Georgia) JJ McCarthy (2024 1.10) Burrow and Herbert are exceptional, no doubt. Perhaps they are not a fair comparison, as I see them in the top-quartile of NFL QBs. Then again, the #1 QB recruit *should* project to a first or second round draft pick. That 202 draft was loaded: Burrow (1.1), Tua (1.5), Herbert (1.6), Jordan Love (1.26), Hurts (2.21).
  21. I thought self-sack when I saw it live, but the endzone replay showed he tripped. That said, it's happened a few times this season, so there may be an awareness issue.
  22. Tripped on Cam Williams' foot.
  23. This year's QB draft class is not exactly great, so it is a good year for him to go pro. NFL Draft Buzz has a QB ranking for the 2025 draft. Sanders Ward Ewers Milroe Nussmeier Beck Gabriel Altair Rourke Klubnick Dart CBS has Ewers as the #3 QB and #18 overall prospect. ESPN has Ewers as the #3 QB and #34 overall prospect. We've seen so much of Ewers that most of us would declare "he's not the 3rd best QB coming out" or "he sucks" or whatever. Sanders is the clear #1 QB (IMO). After that, it's up in the air. In 2024, 6 QBs were picked in the top-12 picks: Williams, Daniels, Maye, Penix, McCarthy, Nix. The next QB - Spencer Rattler - was not picked until the 5th round. Teams who may be looking for a QB - and be wiling to spend a high round pick on it. NYG Browns Panthers Raiders Dolphins Titans Rams Very few new mock drafts have Ewers in the first round, but many have him in 2nd round. fwiw
  24. Cignetti just got a new 8-year contract, nearly doubling his salary. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42423807/sources-curt-cignetti-gets-new-deal-indiana-10-0-start Cignetti's new eight-year contract runs through the 2032 season and will pay him an average of $8 million per year with an annual $1 million retention bonus, putting the total value of the new contract at $72 million. Cignetti originally received a six-year, $27 million contract when he was hired in December. He took the Indiana job after leading James Madison to an 11-1 season in 2023 -- when he made $677,311 -- with the goal of changing the Hoosiers' historically woeful image in football.
