In my opinion it's water under the bridge. The McCaffrey's went one way. Iowa went another way. I'd be shocked if they weren't somewhat pissed and vocal after leaving. On the other hand Connor gave us everything he had while hear and contributed his blood, sweat, and tears in to the program...

I honestly don't mind them being there. I think the only way your going to get more competitive games is by minimizing the playoff field. I honestly don't see much difference between JMU losing by 17 against Oregon in an opening round game then I do with seeing Texas beat Clemson 38-14 or OSU...

Definitely sucks for Iowa but can't do anything but wish him the best and hope they curb stomp Michigan for years to come.

I'm a firm believer that if expanding the playoffs the argument for inclusion moves the needle further from teams getting selected to compete for a national championship and teams getting selected because they deserve to be in the playoffs. They are not the same conversations and the latter...

I hate the word deserving, but based on that logic when you take out Alabama, JMU or Tulane and focus solely on their results do you see them "deserving" of a playoff spot when their biggest wins are USC and Pitt. Again I'm not saying Alabama is "deserving" by any means but Bama has does have a...

Depending on the school. As stated earlier my kids attend a smaller private school in a smaller city (under 30k in population) and after working 20+ years in a public district and 2 years for the private school I can tell you that the public school district I was at a much larger athletic...

I totally agree with you that not everyone attending private school's is wealthy, but at the same time they still have access to those resources and opportunities that kids in similar situations attending public schools may not have access to.

As someone who coached nearly 25 years against private schools, but now as a parent has kids in a private school it's a touchy subject for me, because I definitely see both sides. That said as a former coach my issues was a little more complex as I was from a relatively rural conference (1A and...

I think based on this scenario there's absolutely no chance that KF's predecessor is currently on the staff. I mean at 70 it's a given his years are numbered and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a coach on the current staff that wouldn't ride it out if notified they were his predecessor. IMO...

What kind of answer is this? Well on the bright side they may have lost because of their special teams, but they definitely deserve credit for making history and breaking Dwight's record. So Congrats to the coach and one of the best and possibly one of the dumbest punters in the country for...

I'm by no means an expert when it comes to football, but I really want to thank MSU for making that win possible on Saturday. After the first return they very easily could have stopped kicking to and started punting out of bounds, but time after time they continued to do it and when they...

Love that philosophy. Falls in line with my broader coaching philosophy of only focusing on the things you have direct control over and not dwelling on the parts of the game you have no control over (how the games officiated, crowd, weather, etc...)

I've always absolutely hated seeing conference teams play each other in Bowl games. With the exception of BYU and Colorado last year. Can't stand prime and thought it was hilarious that they managed to dodge all the other teams at the top of conference with them only to see one and absolutely...

Didn't matter. Even with 2-3 guys (ie. the TD pass) it didn't matter they were still hauling it in. IMO your best bet is send the house and try to disrupt his rhythm. Worst case scenario you have one less guy in the vicinity to tackle them after they make the catch, because let's be honest...

Valid point. I've got relatives that are Badger fans, but never seemed to have too big of issues with them because it seems like they're more loyal to the Packers then the Badgers.
