  1. I’ll join your letter writing campaign (is it still writing if you’re cutting letters out of magazines and newspapers and gluing them to a piece of paper that you photocopy?)
  2. The problem is this: the only people trying to build sexbots are also the people who want to fuck robots. But anyone with enough brainpower to design a good sexbot has better intimate options beyond “circuitboard.” I see no way out of this gap between ambition and ability.
  3. This is gonna be a messy shitshow and I’m here for it.
  4. That loss to Iowa State is really hurting the Hawkeyes; other than that they’ve played brilliantly and are one of the few teams to look competent against Indiana. They have a chance to prove themselves against Oregon and USC. Nebraska can’t take ugly losses against the Big 10s third tier and then seek respect. I think most pollsters aren’t tracking Mizzou’s QB issues.
  5. Wikipedia actually got really good; better probably than the old Britannica used to be especially on non-niche and scientific topics. GenAI is truly trash. As shown above— it’s so bad its often not even wrong.
  6. GenAI is such dogshit and its incredible how much worse it makes everything its put into. Verifying ND’s playoff history and this this is the gobbledygook it spits out. Eat a dick, Google, for ruining yourself.
  7. Dumb.
  8. They fired him after a 9-3, top 25 year. I kind of think they started some of the true unreasonable madness. Ans hired Bill Callahan never to recover.
  9. “State taxes” always kills me as a message board factor for coaches. As if Sexton is negotiating these contracts and then someone comes in and says “hold up, have we factored in the state income tax in these talks?” I promise everyone that these agents are presenting coaches with take-home numbers during this process.
  10. I don’t think it’s as easy to make these lists. And it’s too early in the NIL and portal era. Stuff like money is still super important, location near a recruiting base less so, and a sophisticated NIL system really important. History matters but maybe not as much. Even big programs are still figuring it out. Clearly teams like OSU and Texas are still high up. Whats not clear to me: why not Indiana now that they seem to be committed to winning at football? Why isn’t Notre Fame a tier one job because based on recruiting and performance it sure looks like one?
  11. You can always just not do the interview with Issac Chotiner and I’d expect a WH press secretary to know that. https://archive.ph/2025.10.27-221339/https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-bidens-white-house-press-secretary-is-leaving-the-democratic-party
  12. Good, but too long and too actually injured and defensive. Spurrier would have said something like: “They’re the best team already out of the playoffs, I’ll say that. You can’t even spell “out of the playoffs” without OU.”
  13. Lane wants to be Spurrier so bad but he just isn’t. Spurrier had another level of the rizz.
  14. I was talking about LSU as an institution. Cal and UCLA together probably contribute more to America than all of Louisiana minus refineries.

  16. I agree that Texas is a better job but what is this metric you’re using LOL? Why are you excluding their 2007 title but counting Texas 2008 and 2009 as “NC caliber.” What does NC caliber even mean? Why aren’t we mentioning their season they lost to Bama as NC caliber? LSU is a place you can win big. It’s not like they struck genius coaches in Big Ed O and Les freaking Miles. And this also overlaps with peak Bama and later peak UGA in a harder conference.
  17. Real talk, Iowa is a well-managed, affordable, safe, and relatively prosperous state unlike most of the SEC and that leads to people caring less about college football.
  18. Lots of interesting data to pore through that I’m still digesting.
  19. You can also say that Iowa has this shit figured out. They know they are Iowa in a conference of OSU, PSU, Michigan and found a coach who will deliver plus 7 win seasons like clockwork with a few 10+ wins sprinkled in. That’s really about best case. A lot probably has to do with Iowa sensibleness and having other things in life beyond college football. Cig at IU is going to break middling P4 programs brains.
  20. Yeah, look, I think it’s hard to call for the players to sell out for a program when the program shoots its horse in midstream. Perkins is a crazy athlete. A&M didn’t scheme to avoid him, it schemed to target him. Clear indicator that the defensive coaching was crap.
  21. Those NM uniforms are fantastic.
  22. Agree that someone will take a run at Lincoln. SDS even mentioned him for Florida. I think Lanning has a great setup. He’s got all the pieces for an NC. And I think that working for one mega-donor like Knight, is better than fending off the loony SEC donor pool. Knight’s investments in Oregon make sense— he’d love to win an NC but he really wants Oregon football to be a cool brand ambassador for Nike. The schools opening in the South, especially if Auburn enters the chat, are pressure cookers where almost no one will meet the demands.
  23. And some middling coaches are going to get PAID to stay put. If I’m Auburn, I’m doing all I can to stay off this ride. Let it go another year.
  24. Talking about how the landscape has changed— DiNardo never had a plus .500 season when LSU hired him from Vandy. Insane that in the 1990s that was the result of an LSU corching search.
