Anyone can steal signs A great QB will make them pay for it.

Now go find a Deshaun Watson level player at QB and transform your program. Sounds easy enough.

True but Michigan has all the same resources and tradition, if not more in some areas, but has made some really bad hires when it comes to their football program. They keep going back to their Michigan Man mantra even though that thought process has yielded little sucess, or at least not as much as they think they should be having. Andy Geiger was the AD that fired Cooper and hired Tressel (which many though was out of left field at the time). Gene Smith was the one that navigated through the tattoo scandal, hired Meyer, and Day. Many thought OSU should have conducted more of a search before hiring Day, but I doubt you have any OSU fan saying that now. Again, some of this is having the right leadership but most of it is luck.

On one hand OSU has been extremely lucky, but on the other they have a really well run athletic department.

It is hard to have inequality between white and black when everyone is poor. Saying that, I am sure some of that has to do with US/Cuba relations.

Really? Like the US government hasn't experimented on black populations before? I am not saying we shouldn't all be vaccinated, but I understand why certain populations, given past history, do not trust the government when it comes to this stuff. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

I think there is good reason why some individuals within the black community have no trust in the government when it comes to this issue.

I really don't know what the answer is in Haiti but I hope the president doesn't send US troops. It will not end well and for good reason there is little trust of US government in Haiti. It is being said that some of the people arrested were at some point in time DEA informants. Not that I trust the Haitian police, but I would rather assist them with the investigation than send in troops.

It is interesting they brought up the part about speaking Spanish, probably brought that up for many reasons. I am sure there will be rumors of the US being involved in this or some other mercenaries.

Tuimoloau and Sawyer should make for a formable dline in a year or two.

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I missed your point.

Keep reaching. It is 2021, Alabama is showing a 5 star how much they can make through NIL and a Nebraska fan wants to relive the glory days by paying a walk-on pocket change.

I can only imagine the return on investment for paying 75 walk-ons with 10 social media followers to promote something.

Hopefully he sticks with OSU because it is always fun pulling guys out of Texas.

It would be great to see him in Columbus along with Sawyer for 3 years but for some reason I see him staying out west.

I don't always agree with Mark Cuban but he had some interesting takes on Facebook in this podcast. https://www.theverge.com/21557432/mark-cuban-interview-nilay-patel-decoder-podcast

That would be the case if their wasn't algorithms working in the background amplifying certain voices over others. It isn't just the end users that are the problem.

I would guess they rather have the national champion crowed before the bowl season starts using the polls like the good ole' days.

I don't see an arrogant school like ND lowering themselves to join a conference like the ACC let alone the AAC.

So basically every single sport is wrong and FBS college football has it right? If they did not try in the past to determine a national champion then why did the AP, coaches, and others hand out a national championship trophy? The regular season is just that, a regular season...before it didn't have much meaning and now it does and it will have more once they allow for all teams to have a chance at the playoff. What college football needs to learn, and the NFL can't help themselves, is to not expand the regular season. Cut it back at least a game so wins and losses have more weight.

Maybe your personal priorities have changed some over the years? I tell you, even though OSU got thumped against Bama last year, beating Clemson was a very nice way for OSU to cap off a crap year of college football. Under a new system the stakes are now higher for teams like Cincinnati because their games will actually matter. We had system since the start of AP poll where most of the games didn't really matter because 1/2 of the teams never had a shot to play for a title before fall camp even started. Kind of hard to build and sustain a program under those terms.

I have been around playoff games at other levels of the NCAA and there were still memorable games. However, at the end they had nation champion (non mythical). I bet you would have loved to see Nebraska play Michigan for the 1997 NC. I also bet you would have loved for Nebraska to have a shot in 1996 for a NC. It would have been awesome to see OSU play Nebraska in a playoff game that year.

Why do people have an attachment to the old bowl system? With the time off between the regular season and the bowl season it didn't provide you with a true continuation of the season. It had this odd gap between games that hurt some teams and helped others get healthy. It is such an odd way to play out a football season and it doesn't exists at any other level. Expand the playoff and shorten the regular season by one game. It would be great if there was an actual limit on conference size so everyone would play each other within their conference every year.

After watching these videos, are you surprised that Jim Jordan keeps getting reelected?
