    Future Final Four Sites

    After wondering about it, I decided to look it up. After Phoenix this year, the sites for the Final Four are San Antonio, Indianapolis, Detroit, Vegas, and Indianapolis again. Followed by “North Texas”, which I assume is the Dallas Metroplex. Er, is it just my imagination, or are all of those...

    ‘25 NFL Combine

    Looking at the incredible depth of wideouts at this year’s Combine, I found myself wondering just how many of our WR’s will get an invite next year. At least two, I think, in Jaylin and Jayden. Could it be three, if Isaiah Alston breaks through the way Higgins did? Tyler Onyedim seems like a...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I feel pretty good with having signed Sonny Gray at the top, along with Lynn and Gibson to stabilize the rotation. Matter of fact, I’m more wary of Mikolas and Matz than those three. And sorting out the outfield seems to have helped, though there are still some moving parts amongst the...

    2026 Football Targets

    Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas! It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson? And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and...

    New Spring ‘24 Roster Updated

    No updated heights or weights yet—probably when summer drills start. For those of you who haven’t seen it, the newcomers are all listed. Nine early high school enrollees, the three transfers, and the “walkon” placekicker from Florida. Oh, and grayshirt Carson Rhodes is unsurprisingly listed as...

    “Last Weekend”

    CMC: “Fans will look back at last weekend and say that was one of the most important weekends for this program.” He’s referring to the five late official visitors last weekend—who all committed and signed. Those five visitors: David Coffey CB 6’2” 190 Chicago De La Salle Sprinter who qualified...

    Plundering the Portal

    First one I’ve seen. 6’9” OT from Princeton and Minneapolis. Looks like grad transfer. https://goprincetontigers.com/sports/football/roster/jalen-travis/21312

    ‘23 Growing to ‘24

    Y’know, it’s fun to be excited about all of the young players that we’ll return in ‘24, but there’s really no concrete way to even vaguely project what that future team might look like. Or…is there? I had noticed some similarities between between Brock Purdy’s and Rocco Becht’s (to date)...

    Upcoming COVID Year Decisions?

    Super Senior Years We’re nearing the end of the COVID “bonus year” cycle. This off-season will be the last full one where every senior has the option of using their extra year. After ‘24, only players who have redshirted (for the most part) will still have that option. The situation Saturday...

    Raw Speed

    I pondered putting together a post on how to illustrate the improvements in recruiting under Matt Campbell. I considered breaking down the incremental advances in recruiting rankings over the past seven or eight years, but that’s a metric flawed at it’s very root. For multiple reasons. One...

    Rising The Program (Part One?)

    I’ve been looking at the video of Stevo Klotz’s TD yesterday, and I couldn’t help but think about how much it’s an example of how far the program has come under CMC. In the meltdown weeks, some genius was whining about “Where are all of those great recruiting classes?” I’m not sure if they...

    That Perkins Disappointment

    Okay, so I looked it up. Turns out that Tyler Perkins is actually…SECOND in FBS in punting. Gasp! Moan! Despair! Okay, so he has almost twice as many attempts as the first place guy, but…the horror! Fire CMC and that Langes guy!!! https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs
