Texas Republicans are as corrupt as Minnesota Dems.
He’s going to win. The NCAA loses pretty much every case they are involved in.

This kind of stuff can also place doubt in NFL gm’s minds as to character.


You think this guy is low character for trying to get an extra year of eligibility in the current ncaa environment?

Unless an NFL exec is retarded this wouldn’t even be a topic of conversation outside of this making him a year older when he attempts to enter the league

You sir are an idiot. College baseball aside for like 8 schools, no one cares about as evidence by the tv deals and rev share. College basketball is way more profitable than baseball. So if you want more revenue to be shared, then you have to put the money in the sports that generate the most revenue. Even at LSU the pinnacle of college baseball, they are barely profitable and in some years are revenue negative.
Each win in March madness is worth $2million to the conference. So the more teams, and wins the more revenue that’s shared.


Last years womens basketball national championship averaged 4.85 million viewers combined across THREE networks (ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU).

Texas A&M and Tennessee averaged 2.92 million on a single channel with basically no marketing in comparison to womens basketball being shoved down our throats 24/7. LSU and Coastal was 2.78.

NCAA womens basketball popularity growth is a complete fallacy outside of Caitlin Clark. College baseball is growing and it is growing fast.
Parents of this generation had no idea the damage technology was doing to their kids. I feel for them.

Parents of young children today have no excuse. The damages of technology addiction are right in front of your face. Don’t let your kids grow up to be retarded
Our founding fathers would fire bomb Washington DC if they learned about income and property taxes.
When I first moved to Houston, my now wife and I were going meet some friends at Kirby Ice House to watch the divisional round against the Chiefs. I think kickoff was at like 2:30. She told me we were meeting them there right at 2:30. I remember telling her that was silly, it was going to be packed by that point and we would be standing squished somewhere. We walk in and the place is EMPTY. Got a nice table right in front of the TV right as they were kicking off. By the end of the first quarter the place was packed. I told my wife in Louisiana you would have had to been in that bar an hour or two before kickoff to get a table for a Saints playoff game.

Houston itself doesn't actually give a shite about the Texans.
At some point Trump needs to call her bluff. Arrest her, charge her with fraud and deport her. She’s taunting him and daring him to do something about it

I hope everyone remembers this lesson next time some moderately attractive woman starts spewing talking points with no substance.

2019 LSU beat 5 of the Top 8 teams plus blue blood Texas. They won those games by a total of 98 points. They won their conference championship game by 27 points. The QB’s they beat were Jordan Love, Kyle Trask, Bo Nix, Tua Tagaviola, Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence.


2019 LSU was preseason #6. As of week 4 they were +1200 to win the national championship. LINK

As of week 4 this year Indiana was +10,000 LINK

Impressive does not necessarily equal best. 2019 LSU is certainly more accomplished.

Must not be so sure to answer a question with a question then totally evade.


What are you talking about. I gave you and example of how you can analyze an event and say that one aspect is more impressive without necessarily claiming they are “better.”

I’ve repeatedly stated in this thread that trying to determine the outcomes of hypothetical matchups in different eras of football is a useless conversation.

I am looking at Indiana in the vacuum of the NIL era.
quote:

So it’s more impressive to look like the best team (they still haven’t won) in a watered down era than all those great teams who had to beat real competitors in the past? I like Indiana, I took a lot of shite last year for telling people Cignetti was gonna be great, but this era is a train wreck of bad football. Indiana isn’t bad but they’re the prettiest fat girl at the dance.


What’s more impressive, a Kenyan finishing 20th in the Chicago Marathon or a second grader running a sub 23 minute 5K a street over.

Just because you call the second grader the most impressive runner of the day doesn’t mean you are saying he’s a better runner than the Kenyan.

Impressive doesn’t necessarily mean the best. It is an evaluation of performance versus expectations.
Because that argument only holds weight if you are claiming they are a product of their schedule. That argument might have been legitimate prior to the playoffs but then again, I wouldn’t have made that statement prior to the playoffs.

It doesn’t hold up now. They clearly aren’t a product of their schedule.
quote:

Their strength of schedule this year is 100th. LSU’s in 2019 was 6th. Huge difference.


What does Indiana’s regular season strength of schedule have to do with anything?

I’m not calling them the greatest team of all time. Relative to their expectations, their pure “talent” level and their program history, what they have done dismantling expensive blue blood rosters is the most impressive thing I’ve seen in college football.
quote:

You dumb..


No I think people are wanting to argue a different point than I’m trying to make.

Indiana started the season ranked 20th and have boat raced multiple big spending blue blood programs without any high profile superstars in the NIL era.

It is the most impressive thing I have seen, personally. Maybe of all time isn’t the right word because I haven’t personally watched teams from before the 90s. But as far as I’ve seen they are the most impressive.
quote:

However, historically-speaking college football has been a game for 18-21 year olds.


Historically college football has also been a game where schools utilized local talent, with maybe some cash under the table and it was a roster full of Alabama kids playing for Alabama against a roster of Louisiana kids for LSU.

I have no interest in a tiny talent pool of 18-21 year olds where 15 programs spend hundreds of millions of dollars combined to try and be the Los Angeles Dodgers

Experience is the ultimate equalizer. Is there a line? Sure, but not 22 years old which is what the elite programs will push to try and minimize the talent pool
quote:

On the surface that sounds very impressive but when you dig a little deeper it's not really surprising. It's easier to keep 23, 24, and 25 year olds focused on the prize than it is 18, 19, and 20 year olds who are seeing substantial amounts of money for the first time in their lives. The maturity levels just don't compare.


So what you are telling me is that in a world where everyone thought you could buy a championship, one guy figured out how to construct a team within the current rule parameters and with a moderate budget that would boat race teams who had practically unlimited resources

Sounds impressive to me
quote:

People have been making a big deal out of this but hardly seem to realize that 70% of Indiana's starting lineup is made up of players who have been playing college football for the past 5-6 years. As a roster their average age is 23.2. For comparison: Alabama's is 20.8 and Green Bay's is 25. Five of their starters were in the same recruiting class as Bryce Young and Young has been a starting QB in the NFL for the last three seasons.


None of this changes the fact that they are running teams out of the stadium who spent millions, if not tens of millions, more than them in roster construction.
“Best” is subjective because each era of college football is unique due to rule and cultural changes, but I can confidently say that what they are doing is the most impressive thing I’ve seen from a team and it isn’t particularly close.

These guys are doing it without five stars. Maybe a handful of four-stars but mainly zero, one, two and three-stars. And they are boat racing million dollar, five-star filled rosters and getting better every single week.

The “best team of all time” argument is dumb because of eras. We have seen elite college football teams but we have never seen a team do what Indiana is doing.
If we were to make a book in the problems in college football, Indiana having an old roster wouldn’t be in the first ten chapters.

I love this. Schools are going out and buying 50 million dollar rosters and are getting smacked by a bunch of underrated veterans
They are going to kill Walsh. It’s just a matter of when.
