temptation

I didn’t watch. Did the Supreme Court kick three field goals or was it a TD/XP/safety combo? Either way, hell of a defensive effort. Imagine thinking those wanting to let the people speak with their votes as the threat to democracy and not those trying to actively remove a party’s leading candidate from the ballot. What a bunch of nut jobs.

So much for “champions of the offseason”, lol. “The hammer is about to drop!” “ These violations are worth 21 points!” https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/college/football/2024/02/27/ohio-state-football-ncaa-recruiting-violations-transfer-portal/72758292007/ Am I doing this right? No, seriously though…someone explain to me how tampering is a level three violation….

Why is she not getting the same national outrage as Saint George Floyd? Oh yeah, that’s right…it’s just the world female runners have to live with and an “Athens resident” was the killer. Absolutely embarrassing and disgusting. https://apnews.com/article/runner-dead-university-georgia-women-safety-4b277117e82ab00d7e6c79672219a65f

Michigan rotated heavily at the DL position this season so I guess you could say so. Three of those 18 are DL. 6 of the above are OL as Jones subbed in once Zinter went down against OSU. Barner was a backup TE.

Furthering my point above (and I know folks are likely tired of my Michigan victory lap), Michigan just won the national title with guys who had the following 247 composite ranking coming out of high school. These are the 18 Wolverines attending the combine in Indy this week. McCarthy - 38th Colson - 102nd Jones - 109th MacGregor - 123rd Johnson - 160th Barnhart - 161st Keegan - 184th Wilson - 219th Corum - 232nd Zinter - 249th Jenkins - 502nd Sanristil - 589th Henderson - 730th Barrett - 751st Barner 1131st Wallace NR Nugent NR Harrell - NR Harrell - NR

I'd argue however that 3/4 stars with a bit of a chip on their shoulder are often better than 5 stars though I don't really have much data to support it. Rod Moore, the Michigan DB with the game clinching INT against OSU was a 3 star from Ohio and passed over by the Buckeyes. That kind of stuff matters when building a team.

Agree on most points, but player development is also key. ND simply isn't going to "out five star" the usual guys (Bama, OSU, UGA). Counterpoint to your most important point though: Stetson Bennett was nowhere near 1st round QB talent.

You can win a national championship with the caliber and type of player ND typically recruits…trust me…😉

Update from the MSM: “Oh wait, it wasn’t a planned mass shooting where the shooter has little pigment and wrote a manifesto but rather a dispute between two young men of color?” “Let’s move on to another story.”

“White supremacy is our nation’s #1 threat.”

I can’t even relate to a team that hasn’t won a national title in 36 years anymore. Michigan hasn’t won one in 46…DAYS.

Sorry Notre Dame…the 5 seed is your ceiling.

Lincoln Riley knows…

I'm not sure LSU belongs in that group but I get your point.

Cool to see Ben Davis’ Mark Zackery receive an offer from the Rose Bowl runners up yesterday.

Yep, and one thing that makes college football unique is the fact that every week matters. That will be diminished in this new format also. The NFL “world champions” lost 6 regular season contests…

I am interested to see the approach on conference championship games now for two reasons. 1. It is impossible to fairly play a balanced schedule in the Big Ten specifically when you will only see half the conference in the regular season. 2. A team could actually be "punished" for playing in its conference championship game if it is sitting 9th or 10th in the second to last CFP rankings and loses, thus falling out of the top 11. Big Ten needs to get to 20 and just do 4 divisions of 5. You play each of your divisional opponents once, plus two from each other division. Cut one non-con game and move the season up a week. Four division winners play semis then, the two winners of those play for the conference championship. Probably makes too much sense and would never happen. East: Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State, Pittsburgh West: USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Nebraska Central: Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois Midwest: Indiana, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue

Don't forget "culture."

I mean, "SOMEHOW" Cathedral does it right, lol?

“Joe Biden does more in an hour than most people do in a day.”

I think I could get on board with this. Too lazy, but can anyone outline what that would look like?

Eh, it'll likely end in a train wreck like most of Hollywood's romances. Then she will write about the break-up in her next album. Wash, rinse, repeat. Her batting average speaks for itself. Failed relationships have made her a ton of cash.

ESPN leaving out details, imagine that. Good catch.
