You are making this way too complicated. ESPN doesn’t make money on fans in the seats. ESPN makes money on selling ads which are supported by TV viewing numbers. ESPN doesn’t have to make record setting ad revenue off of the bowls. They only have to make more money than the content that would replace all of this air time that would be available by eliminating the bowls. That’s a lot of dodge ball on the air without the bowls.

I guess we are in to announcing analysts now days


With no limit for on field coaches any more (only limit on how many can recruit off campus), there is no need for “analysts”. Give them titles and list them as part of the staff.

How does he pronounce his last name? Like Bobby does?


Hoping you are not serious, but Herbert is pronounced just like it’s spelled. Hebert does not have the R before the B. Not the same names.

Answer to our QB problems.
It’s been a while since a read it, but I believe NIL deals for less than $600 don’t have to go through the clearinghouse. There were quite a few of the initial deals submitted to the clearinghouse that were rejected. Some for payments in excess of market value, but most because of technical problems with the application/contracts, etc. Those were given a chance to resubmit. I think since then I read a much higher percentage of the deals have been approved.

have yall seen Penn state? They have 3 commits. How the hell is that even possible


They don’t have a coach. And some in the national media wanted LSU to not sign and announce Lane until after the playoffs. That would have played really well.
If any players want to follow Lane to LSU they will be doing it whether or not Weiss coaches Ole Miss in the playoffs.
I believe he applied for an additional year, but no guarantee he gets it.
In the past 24 hours Coach Kiffin has tweeted twice. Once announcing he was leaving Ole Miss and had accepted the LSU job. The next one was a picture of Mike the Tiger after he got here. I’m sure those two made you sick. If you can’t handle those two, you got a long road ahead with Kiffin’s tweets. That’s who he is. You can get off of X or block him.

Definitely more than old enough to remember Tepper, but he didn’t waste a Heisman Trophy winner and the top offense in the country. Have to go with House.

re: QB slide rule

Posted by bbnitiger on 11/9/25 at 1:03 pm to
In the NFL player sliding is considered to give themselves up, so does not need to be touched to be down.
The college coaching landscape is changing. More schools are adopting the NFL model of player personnel departments to acquire talent and then let the coaches coach. I totally agree that reducing these responsibilities on the coaches and now having to pay an entirely new department that the coaching salaries should be adjusted, but I really don’t know if this does adjust. I also believe that in the past the position coaches and coordinators were expected to be great recruiters and development of players wasn’t the number one priority. Now, let the player personnel department acquire the talent and hire assistants who are great at teaching technique, player development, developing schemes, etc.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your post but I think Arch is the only QB listed from LA. Am I missing something?

re: Worst roughing call ever

Posted by bbnitiger on 10/5/25 at 3:03 pm to
Didn’t hit him high. Didn’t hit him low. Didn’t land with his weight on him. That’s text book on how to do it the right way.
That’s 4 in Coaches Poll, which is where we were last week. I don’t see that the AP Poll is out yet.

TCU and North Carolina play Monday night. Polls don’t come out until all of the games for this week have been completed.

Brady deserves every bit of the praise he gets here. Guy was unstoppable and not just bc of HOF players.


I do think Brady deserves credit but the players do as well. We ran mainly 11 personnel but with the same players on the field we could move Moss or Edwards-Helaire out wide and go 4 wides or move both out wide and go five wide. Doing it with the same personnel gave the defense no chance to substitute. I remember Kirby talking about that after the SEC championship game and they had no answer for that. Credit to Slinger and Brady for taking advantage of that but they wouldn’t have been able to do that without the players with that versatility.
