  1. Can we win some games during the football season this year? Are the coaches and players, on a day to day level affected by this? Will our players not lift enough weights, or the coaches not go thru enough film to win some games? Will players transfer or will we lose recruits because of our AD loss? Will the volleyball team not compete as hard? Will the basketball team turn in their jerseys? Will our 1 hitter strike out because of this news? Will he not steal a base? Will our 2nd team women’s striker on the soccer team not run as hard? We gotta think, as a collective group, that the day to day of coaches and players will go on as necessary to compete in games and practices. The players play and the coaches coach. Who the AD is and why it matters doesn’t even inch into the players and coaches competing right now. At all. it will affect how things are “run” and the ability to “get better” over the long haul, for sure. But does anyone think the kids who compete give 2 f’s overall? nah, this doesn’t matter overall, in the short term. This move hurts us as fans, and we understand that there are systemic problems, needs that should be addressed, that we can get worse or better real fast in the Admin phase of things…. But damn. We need to slow our role on the overall affect of this news. Sun comes up tomorrow.
  2. I’d like to poll 25 coaches in the power 5, anonymously, and get their take on how these rule changes affect them generally. And specifically how the ever-changing rules are hard or easy to keep up with. It seems every couple or few months there are major changes to recruiting, portal, signing, NIL, etc that they have to try and be compliant with. that would be an interesting article a real journalist should tackle. edit: 20 power 5 and 5 non power 5 coaches. The non power 5 coaches are probably even more stuck
  3. so far so fine…I don’t even want to pay attention to it until 2030. I’ll be 53 by then. back story….got into a heated argument on the way to the Mich v N game when Robinson was their QB. So quite a while ago. We won that game when Robinson got hurt. I think Pelini was the coach. my dad and brother were on the side of paying players, playoffs, “who cares bowl games” etc… got 3 more sentences from physical. Stopped for gas in York from Denver and we all cooled off. I maintained college football specifically would never be the same…errrrr ummmm now they kinda are like…all the NIL, playoff stuff, 4-8-12,, playoff stuff progression. They see it now. you know what, doesn’t even matter. The 120 yrs of college pageantry is gone and the regional rivalries has been gone and the idea of conferences is gone and the important bowl games are gone. Everything that kinda sorta mattered is gone. it’s new and it’s exciting and it’ll move on. But the tradition is gone. And that stings to me. whatever comes next just won’t have the same feeling to me. Win or lose. Success or failure. The feeling of doing of we do and the way way we do it is gone. I hope we win a lot and get to bowls and compete. Hit it just doesn’t feel the same if we don’t beat OU and CU and Iowa,-‘and KState and Wisc. Instead we gotta beat USC and Oregon and and Washington. Just weird and sad
  4. Well, it also got the “best teams playing the other best teams” from different parts of the country that ran different offenses with different schemes and players. The way it is now the game is so homogenous and players move around the country so much the games matter less because they all look the same. okus there are 25+ bowl games so it’s not the “best teams”. It is exhibition now, but used to not be.
  5. I go watch Cherry Creek 3-4 games a year and I love how the game is just played. No one standing around, not a lot of breaks, games are the same clock time but way less in actual time. What would be really groundbreaking is to have QR codes on screens for ads, 4 minutes extra btwn quarters, 5 min extra halftimes for commercials. Then you have the obvious injury and called timeouts. that’s plenty of time to run commercials during the game and real game breaks.
  6. granted, outside the top 5 winners of their conference, the other teams will be decided by some people somewhere. But at least we are getting closer to what looks like the “most deserving teams”
  7. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39520319/college-football-playoff-board-managers-expected-vote-5-plus-7-format looks like we might be moving further away from any NCAA, AP journo’s, computer, coaches, and other BS that determines who gets a shot a NC. the power has further consolidated. Save for the 2 team PAC12 lol
  8. Offensive coordinator
  9. Got in random internet hole and found this… I guess we aren’t the only crazy ones. not a lot of lost for Raiola switching to us. the whole was insane lol. makes us look kinda sane, all things considered.
  10. What if Rex Burkhead catches an isolation pass on the edge in 2009 against texass instead of flat out dropping it for a sure TD? the sequence of events surrounding that game and thereafter is undersold in mid-2000s. if he catches that pass and scores, which he absolutely should have, things may have been different for several seasons
  11. We cannot erase up a completely historic run of 9 win seasons (when only 11games played), 35+ consecutive bowl games, ranked in top 25 consecutive weeks, top 25/10/5 rankings for records of that achievement, dozens of conference championships, playing for major bowl wins (when there were only 5 major bowls) for 30+ yrs, winning 5 natty’s and legitimately playing for 8 over a 40 yr span. even from 01-14 we were super competitive. in my mind only since 2015 were we kinda dog crap. Lost way too much and weren’t really competitive. But even then, we are something like 6-27 in one loss games. Win just 10 of those one score games to be .500 in close games and we would be on a “radar”. we’ve had a bad 7-9 yr run but not total dogs#!t either, up until the last 6-7 yrs over a 60 yr span. So in 60 yrs we’ve been legitimately bad for less than 10 yrs. That’s f’in awesome. And we are trending up, no mater what the pessimistic say. I have a good 30yrs of watching N football left in me, and I’d bet we finish my last 30 like I watched the first 30
  12. Rhule has added some good stuff. While not totally nixing what he started. we should be happy w that. we can get better w what he has added. That’s the goal, and always should be; players, coaches, NIL, portal, etc…he’s trying make things better and we should just simply applaud that instead of over dissecting things.
