Roman Wilson is better looking than their entire cheerleading squad:

If you asked the question how much more blond the TCU cheerleaders could be, the answer would be none more blond.

Even worse when you hear it in your own stadium being played on repeat by your own band!!!
????? "played on repeat by your own band" Every Big10 team plays the visiting team fight in the beginning of the game. Our band does not play it at any other time.

Please just go look at the recruiting rankings of the SEC. The environment I wish to emulate is what happened there. Of course they had the scholarship limits, miscast NIL got rid of.

Not every 4 and 5 🌟 that wanted to play for the upper tier teams received an offer, so they would commit to Kentucky, South Carolina, or some other middle to bottom tier team in that conference they hoped to play for. This is why Vandy became decent for a time. It is also why most years the whole SEC is ranked in the Top 50 classes, if not the Top 40.
The SEC is talented because the states they are located have a crapload of blue chip recruits. NJ has like 4-8 4 star guys a year. Alabama has like 20-30, Georgia like 50, Florida like 80.

The South simply has way more talent.

I am literally done with officials

That was the friggin definition of targeting. Helmet to helmet from behind. Officials watch replay and no penalty?!?

Honestly I don’t really care. F harbaugh. But call it right for goodness sake
I think you may be in the small minority on this.

You obviously weren’t at the game. Band members went from section to section and played the Michigan fight song. I lost count at 10. They came to our section and were told not to play. It was the 78-0 game to make it even worse.

Yes that is a big part of it, but not the only one. They can cherrypick 5 🌟 across the country because they are seen as the best. Why, because the upper part of the conference has won and played so many NC games. If Michigan had not spit the bit, that would have helped BIG10 recruiting. Even with OSU's NC, they were considered a great team in a so so conference.

Now not every great recruit can sign with the likes of Alabama. So the rest of the league gets the overflow of higher ranked recruits. Which in turn makes them better.

It probably would not have mattered but to me that looked like a clear leading with the crown - but not head to head contact. Refs were horrible both ways. Michigan should feel sick about this loss - they basically spotted TCU 24 pts on two picks and a horrible play call on the first drive - at least a 3 pt giveaway there. And the fumble at the goal line that should I’ve been a TD in the first place.

Oh it happened and it was talked about on this board. I reached out to an old friend in the athletics department. He told me they had multiple complaints and the band director was instructed to never let it happen again.

I watched the replays. Even the announcers said they defender did not lead with crown

Don’t know what this means anymore

Dude hit the guy - with his helmet to the helmet - from behind cuasingnhis head to snap forward - as the guy was already going to the ground.

Whatever. They don’t call that but there was that ridiculous roughing the passer in the first half (called against TCU ). They call that ridiculous penalty - TCU player pushed QB with his HANDS literally split second after throw - not a helmet to helmet from behind

Whatever . Ridiculous

could not understand the thinking of Michigan as TCU was clear they were going to stuff between the tackles and Mich never made the adjustment

Completely disagree. If OSU win the natty it does not help Rutgers recruiting at all in any way.

NIL is a way bigger deal along with geography. The boosters in the SEC are simply richer than any other conference, or at least they are more willing to hand out $.

A good example would be the younger igbinosun. Ole Mi$$ showed him the bag and he was gone.

It was an awful hit. The announcers were wrong on first reaction but then they were changing their minds

Seemed like Blackledge was saying “come on there are 25 seconds left, don’t call this now.” Rule is the rule, and Dean Blandino seemed to think it was pretty cut and dry. Really surprised they didn’t call it

Screw Michigan all their fans were cocky asf leading up to this game. Refs were ****** both ways and I love seeing all the Michigan crying about the refs acting like they didn’t give up 51.

Well California and Texas have a boatload also. Very populated states with many good HS players. Ohio has a lot of 4 stars annually. Ohio St locks up Ohio and then cherry picks from Fla , Tex and Cal.

Arkansas produces 4-6 D 1 players per year. Athletically, Arkansas and Rutgers are very similar.
we both are looking for a 10-2 season to make us happier!

Same thought. He literally commented like that. Thought it was a missed call.
