    Something has got to be done about Noodle Lame

    It’s the same record on repeat each season: artificially inflated pre-season ranking, wins against no one, moving up in the polls only because other blue bloods are beating up on one another. Then, when they finally do drop a game, they only move down a few spots to remain in the top 10.

    We could easily be 5-1 if we had played that way against MSU and UK *

    Who still manages to inexplicably drop a game on the road at MSU.

    I'm wondering if Penn State is regreting their decision to fire Franklin? ****

    Yes! And because they hired Campbell late (12/5), they had ~1 month to work the portal. I would expect them to rebound in the coming years because they're Penn State and they have money & pedigree. The issue they'll run into is that there's now more parity among college football's elite teams...

    FROM WHAT I AM HEARING: SHANE BEAMER EDITION

    I’m fine with Beamer sticking around. In fact, he should hang around until the end of his contract. That way we owe no buyout, and we can jettison the mess he’s created. He will also have failed so miserably that no school will hire him again.

    Cloniger: Carolina can't afford to fire Beamer

    A coworker of mine is a VT grad and I recall him joking that they were going to steal Beamer from us. Man that would have been too easy.

    Are We Really An Embarrassment?

    As the poster said, it took both coaches a few seasons to turn things around. And yes, I call 33-6 with three NYD bowl wins against quality P4 opponents winning. In fact, in the playoff era that most likely equates to three straight playoff appearances, possibly a championship with the way those...

    Are We Really An Embarrassment?

    Poster under the handle "Juice" was telling us this 5 years ago. Not many wanted to listen. Who's laughing now?

    What explains this with Sellers?

    Scared money don’t make money.

    In summary, what cost us the game, iyo. ****

    Secondary. Which is a tough pill to swallow after having a quality squad back there for years. Blown coverage/getting beat deep, dumb penalty negating a pick deep in MSU territory.

    Interesting...

    Post season play & conference championships maybe?

    Football: looks like we lost a "committment" to Floriduh

    As I find myself now raising two boys in the college recruiting age range, I’m shocked - and maybe even a little embarrassed - at how much faith I used to put into these commitments. That’s not a knock on you or anyone else. It’s just as if I’ve been given a peek behind the curtain and can now...

    Lady Gamecocks looking like total trash

    I swear some of you need a 30 minute delay on posts.

    Why greater parity historically in MBB than WBB?

    I don’t think it’s much more than a smaller pool of talent to choose from. And I mean no disrespect. Just saying that fewer women playing basketball (specifically AAU, club, etc.) than men = fewer top tier players (naturally) = more consolidation of talent among the top teams.
