So you appoint a general manager to do the HR work. What is does know is what NFL teams value and how to make his players more valuable to the NFL. Great for the brighter top end players that realize there is where they will make their real money; valueless to the average player.

I agree. The move is so bad, so stupid, so clueless, so ill-advised ... that it just might work. But that Patriot Way thing and his handling of players is so,so not attuned to the college athlete's mentality now.

You know, as I was having my initial strong reaction to this I had the nagging feeling that I was wrong. Sort of like happens occasionally in handicapping a game ... a strong opinion that yet somehow seems wrong to you. That type of self-handicapping runs at about 100% with me somehow, some way. So I'm having this phenomenon (dissonance, self-leveling?) with Bubbly Bill. Lots of reports are acting like he can uber raid the transfer portals "with the promise of NFL millions in a year or two" type thing. I can't argue with that. Sort of a Calipari effect. Anyway, my sneaky voice that I'm wrong acted up on this one. Going to the playoff, I guess. It would be good for the sport, and his interactions with Swinney might be rich. He might get the last laugh on being freezed out of coaching. I think he will.

Probably just wanted to coach at the same school where his girlfriend will be taking classes.

I want to know if she had to fill out a FAFSA.

The top end is a small sample size each season. And they all have the best programs pitching a similar message with good results. Maximizing NIL will continue to be more and more attractive to most players. And it does sound like Bill is focused on NIL funding. Whether winning at a high level is the end result or not, Belichick has some traits this program desperately needs, pa

Didn’t they have to commit to his son being the next coach?

Didn’t they have to commit to his son being the next coach?

i listened to his 45+ min introductory press conference and that never came up

not saying it isn't true, but if it were i would've expected the local media to bring it up during the long Q & A session

incidentally, BB shot down the notion that he showed up w a 400 page manifesto


That's a lot of trouble to go to just to get your son a job. I guess it doesn't hurt if you have a chance to pick up a few bucks for your troubles.

probably because if he's an employee the tuition is free

probably hand typed on a single roll of paper like jack kerouac writing 'on the road'
wonder how much white out he used
the first chapel hill billy angle shot, more to follow

None! White-Out is for people who make mistakes.

My book says β€œoriginal scroll version” and that’s exactly where it got good so just put the weapon down and we all walk away.


Maybe his girlfriend will be able to reuse the manifesto for an AFAM term paper.


Joey Freshwater about to get a run for his money.


What do people really think of how he will do at UNC?

I feel like he could do well early on when donors/NIL $ is flowing, I'm sure many will want to get in on it and maybe he can do well early.

I don't follow CFB really at all though

heels can probably give a more informed answer
unc has their own source of nike money, just ask Mike to gamble on football instead of golf
Mack went 6-6 after Maye was drafted last April
current o/u is 7.5 with this schedule:

vs. TCU
at Charlotte
vs. Richmond
at UCF
vs. Clemson
vs. Duke
vs. Stanford
vs. Virginia
at California
at N.C. State
at Syracuse
at Wake Forest

i'd take the over


two chalk wins away from having FCS quarterfinalists who are a combined 49-0 against the rest of FCS

Alright, I think I asked this before when I previously did this, but can't remember, roughly when will the 2025 schedules be available? Wanting to do another two weekend college Saturday then NFL Sunday visit to the US


Davis really letting me down

Like football hasn’t kicked my balls enough this year

I would imagine it varies some by conference. The B1G schedule came out this past week, I don't know what others may have also been announced.


Oregon plays 2 of the 3 OSU teams, and the one they miss are the buckeyes.
their opening game should be interesting.

Aug. 30 - Montana State
Sept. 6 - Oklahoma State
Sept. 13 - at Northwestern*
Sept. 20 - Oregon State
Sept. 27 - at Penn State*
Oct. 11 - Indiana*
Oct. 18 - at Rutgers*
Oct. 25 - Wisconsin*
Nov. 8 - at Iowa*
Nov. 15 - Minnesota*
Nov. 22 - USC*
Nov. 29 - at Washington*
