The ratings are early and will change as teams play opponents with talent closer to themselves but it does look like the ones that might give us huge problems are Ward #2 Beck #6 Slough #13 McCord #20 (he already did) The other 2 QB's we've faced so far are Uiagelelei #75 and Veilleux #90 The...

That was a tough game to watch because it was clear that Syracuse was in control almost the whole game. The score was closer than the game. Syracuse's offense had 8 possessions where it was trying to score - it ended up with 4 TD's, 1 made 1FG, 1 blocked FG and 2 punts. So basically they got...

The judge did not accept the proposed settlement yesterday. Basically said that putting limits on NIL collectives or restaining how much money athletes make probably would not pass legal muster. Gave the parties three weeks to come up with a new deal or there might be a trial. The lawyer for the...

I was pretty pleased with the secondary overall. FSU didn't take alot of deep shots, but when they did the secondary was right with the receivers most of the time.

The other QB - Veilleux transfered in from Pitt where he played in 7 games starting 5 last year. He is a classic pro-style QB - 6'5, 209. Was ranked as the #14 pro-style QB in his HS class and signed with Penn St out of HS. In 7 games at Pitt he had 24 rushes for -14 yds (54 gain, 68 loss)...

This is a really interesting question. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/candid-coaches-should-ncaa-athletes-get-a-fifth-year-of-college-eligibility-if-they-opt-not-to-transfer/ I do like this idea, especially sort of the option B of they get the extra year only if they stayed...

Reffing is always seen through home colored glasses. FSU fans think the officiating was horrible and that GT should have been called for alot more penalties - specifically holding on the OL. Not saying I agree with them. I thought overall it was a pretty well officiated game.

This is simply another reason I find it extremely unlikely ESPN would jeopardize its relationship with the ACC. You don't destroy a relationship where you say it is exceeding your expectations and is extraodinarily successful. That also shows that the ACC Network is very valuable to both the...

This is true. I'm sure someone can provide the legal documentation. I believe Intl players are not eligible to receive any NIL on American soil. This is part of why you see teams taking international trips - it allows the Intl players a chance to get a little NIL outside the US. So for example I...

This is a good read. Asked coaches about how much kids are asking for in NIL and the disconnect between asking prices and reality in terms of how good the players are...

France is going to be a major pain in the butt by 2028. Wemby could be the best player in the world by then and 3 of the top 6 draft picks in this year's NBA Draft were from France.

This is the one for me as well. Absolutely miserable day. The wind was unreal. Neither team could pass the ball because of the wind. It caused almost every pass to either sail or just fall dead short depending upon which way you were moving on the field. Cold and raw is a great description.

FWIW, I think if they can get out, and that is a big 'if', then FSU and Clemson could probably get a WA/OR type of offer. IMO they are much closer to WA/OR in attractiveness than TX/OK. I don't think the B1G had any plans for further expansion after USC/UCLA, but when the PAC imploded that...

There are 2 basic differences between TX and FSU. First, Texas is a much more valuable property - it was 2nd nationally in revenue last year with almost $240M. FSU is 15th with about $160M. A conference is going to be willing to be more forgiving to the program that is much larger. Second, TX...

Interview with Brett McMurphy on a B12 station about FSU and Clemson. He basically says neither the SEC or B1G are interested in either - especially FSU. Says that 100% of the B1G people he has talked to, don't want FSU. SEC only wants schools in new contiguous states. He also mentions that...
