2025 College Football Season

[Irishman]

Patience and time has run out in Westwood and Blacksburg. Interesting aspect of the transfer portal kicks in now as well.

Oklahoma State is losing to Tulsa with about 7 minutes left, 19-9.  It doesn't look good for Mike Gundy's job after losing 69-3 last week.

[PHJIrish]

Tulsa 19, Oklahoma State 12.  Gundy's seat has to be red hot by now, especially after a 3-9 record last year.  He's been the OSU coach for 21 years, and recently agreed to a cut in salary.

Oh my!

Maybe Luke Fickell needs to go too.  Wisconsin lost, at home, to Maryland 27-10, and the Badgers scored their TD in the last minute.  The Coach just stood on the sideline and chewed his gum.  He never changed his expression the whole game.  Maybe he has a huge contract buyout?

Mike Gundy out at Oklahoma State....been at the school since 2005.

Did not know that...I assume they have the $$.  Are they taking a Dabo approach??

Just some metrics from a fella on the internets, but its data driven at least

Not so Pure Michigan…

I would have bet that the Badgers would be at the top of the heap and not conservative spenders.  Anyway, it's sure good to be back again!

I think OSU will find it a difficult trip out West to see Washington,  I took the OVER and I think it will be much closer than many think, won't be shocked if Huskies outright win 

Florida St.......HA

IU be like, SEE, we don't want any of that Virginia Smoke !!  🙂

Good Lawd Caden Curry!!  Wasn’t someone on this forum questioning his abilities??  Michigan fan I believe….
 

[PHJIrish]

The Oregon Ducks uniforms, tonight vs. Penn State, are the most conservative they've worn in years, maybe ever!

[Komets2727]

Big game James Franklin comes thru again. Oregon wins 30-24

Westfield’s Dillon Thieneman with the pick.

He had one helluva game.  All he’s gotta do to disprove my original point is be a top 5 pick.

Man, you love attempting to revise history.

Actually he doesn’t need to prove anything to you, me or anyone else. Hopefully, he stays healthy and keeps moving forward with his development. Love how he’s stuck it out. I wondered why he stayed, but he knew best for his life. 
 

Yea, still have a solid memory. And proudly NOT a member of the Michigan cult referenced a few posts earlier in this thread. 😉

LOL.

I stated that Michigan was development U on the defensive side of the ball and cited Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant’s high school recruiting rankings in relation to their NFL draft selection…

Compared it to Curry and you got all butt hurt.

Curry is a next level talent for sure but doesn’t change the facts.

You really should seek out therapy with the amount of attempted “gotcha” posts you swing and miss on because of your dislike for me.

I have to admit that the Pure Michigan video was funny. The back and forth between you is popcorn worthy to say the least. 

You're right though about your comment. Saw that side of him when I mentioned Carroll appeared to be the harder hitting team when they played Center Grove.

Curious where they stack up overall since this report only measures the percentage increase over time.

Cmon...Not butthurt...I just thought you comment was dumb stating one has to sit in the stands and can't view it on TV to have a perspective.  I also laughed at "harder" hitting to any team that gives up over 500 yds of total offense, 300+ of those yards rushing.  Whether you want to admit or not, that pretty much means the front 7 got pushed around all game.  Now, does Carroll have impressive hitting safeties?  That I could understand as they clearly had to play hard the entire game.

Not sure why this is so tough to graph.
