Yeah I'm fine with that but I'm also fine with a scrap afterwards.
UCLA pitched a fit, and they won't let the SC band do the sword plant when at the Rose Bowl either. If the band does it again, they won't be allowed back into the Rose Bowl for any rivalry games played there or some dumb shit.

Fan_of_Fanboys @Fan_of_Fanboys check out Decade of Dominance on ESPNU or SECN when you get a chance. Two really good Dawg segments from 21 and 22 seasons. Some unseen footage. Probably find it on VOD on YTTV.

A pretty good player for UofL, Ben Perry, just signed with UCLA out of the portal. He played the star position for us (Hybrid LB).

Finally someone who hates Dabo as much as I do. Fuck his aww shucks ass.
I liked him a lot when he started his run but he's turned into quite the douchebag
Reminds me of a guy who starts a small church but eventually it grows into one of those megachurches. No longer the same guy running it, and not for the better

Just read this: "After Marshall pulled out of the Independence Bowl, Ralph Russo reported that 16 of the 18 5-7 teams, as ranked by Academic Progress Rate, declined to play before, mercifully, Louisiana Tech (ranked 17th in APR) did."

No i didn't. I said teams would use it to build a team and you argued that they wouldn't.
For context I said it shouldn't be your bread and butter. High school recruiting should be and I still believe that. You fill holes here and there. That is what I said.

Good analogy.

"Smart’s salary ($13.3 million) is more than listed compensation for the head coaches and every on-field assistant at Boise State and Arizona State combined ($13.1 million)"

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Boise State’s budget is the smallest in the field; that would be true for almost every Group of 5 program. But the numbers are still striking.

At least 18 assistants in the Playoff make more than Danielson. The number is likely higher, but assistants’ salaries are not available for Notre Dame, Penn State and SMU.

Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles makes the most at $2.2 million — almost twice Danielson’s salary. Divide Smart’s salary evenly across the year, and he makes nearly as much in a month ($1.1 million) as Danielson earns in a year.

Notre Dame ($21.9 million) and Penn State ($18.4 million) both reported more in operating expenses than Boise State spent on its entire football program ($17.1 million). At least four schools had coaching salary pools that exceeded Boise State’s budget: Georgia, Texas, Ohio State and Clemson.

Seven of the participating programs reported a larger surplus — total revenue minus total expenses — than the Broncos made, period ($24.0 million). Texas’ surplus ($121.9 million) is five times Boise State’s revenue."
