    Be a smart arse all you want and to a certain extent despite your sarcasm, you are correct. Any coach would be really smart to listen to how Cig brings an abundence of new players, integrates them into his starting lineup without upsetting the apple cart. He's obviously got it down really...

    Here is what you do not get. You make a statement like this, "The fact that he kept the secret sauce to coaching perfection hidden for 63 years is the kind of fairy tale that fans love to swallow." Like College coaching hasn't changed in 63 years. I'll tell you what you are missing. Cignetti...

    Snyder brought up that Colorado was pushing really hard for Jenkins a couple of weeks ago on the podcast. They were called very much a wild card Can you blame the kid. I have no idea what he is getting paid, but if its 200k more than the second highest bid. How can you not take that, even if...

    Its a great question and I have no idea. How long until they end up like the federal government and are spending money they dont have? All I believe is that eventually almost every team will not show restraint and will end up spending pretty much everything they are making. I still think the...

    Two years. He was the only one who understood this philosophy. You are correct in that others are going to catch up, but in doing that. The OSU, BAMA and UGa's will not be able to stockpile talent anymore and near the top a lot more teams are going to be competative. Even if OSU starts...

    I think we are going to be a whole lot better than most anyone is thinking. Go look at the number of returning starters there are in our projected lineup. Its the snob thought process of ISU starters are not good enough to win in the B10 that is leading people to believe we will lose 3 or 4 games.

    Its happened twice in about three years. Stop talking about 5 to 50 years ago. ITs not like that anymore. The college landscape looks nothing like it did in 2022. Notice I said twice. Did you notice Indiana played Miami in the final. Go look at Miamis recruiting classes from 3 and 4...

    Nope, just a three star. Not good enough. Lost in all this nonsense with a lot of posters is the fact that Indiana, in 2026, brought in (wait for it). Three 4 star recruits, and have yet to get a commitment from a 4 star recruit this year. Guys don't understand in the portal age. Ths HS...

    Is it just me, or is it hard to be labeled a flop unless you were a 5 star.

    I'd hate to know, because I think we have never really seen it. OSU finally did win a national title under Day, it only took having the best talent in college football by a very large margin, and they still lost two games that year.

    Do you think UGa would have been able to give him more money? Bourque is going to the place that is willing to pay the most. I think both PSU and UGa said see you later. I really don't think UGa has been an option for Bourque this entire time, and I think PSU played the game for a while, back...

    Or flat out isn't healthy enough to play. IF the Connor Barry ends up being the backup in 2026. WE have a big hole in 2027, and I'd say it looks like transfer portal written all over it. OF course Barry could ask for another year of eligiblity because he got a hangnail or something and the...

    Not with the coaching change. That was death to keeping a high level guy committed before NIL was a big deal. Now, Michigan has two recruits that were committed to the prior coach, but both are Michigan HS kids and it looks they are going to stay. The three out of state kids all left the class.

    OK, here my shot at this. UGa has Jayden Wade committed for 2028. He may be the top recruit in the country next year. They are going to have to pay top dollar for him. They are not going to spend a lot of money on a QB this year. Everyone has said this is PSU, VT and UGA. It appeared...
