I had to scroll to the top of the thread to make sure I had hadn't inadvertently fallen into the football forum. LOL.

Thanks @TennZip for posting the Duke student newspaper article. Refreshing to read observations about the conditions and crowd and not just AI-generated information about stats.

Too cold to remove gloves for photos. You wouldn't want to see it anyway. 🫣

Kiffin looks out for Kiffin. Always looking for the bigger, better deal. Ole Miss was willing to match the 13 million a year salary, but what they couldn’t do is match the promised 25-30 million player payroll that LSU was offering. Kiffin felt, right or wrong that winning a couple of games in the playoffs was going to be the ceiling at Ole Miss. Because he wouldn’t have the depth to compete against Georgia, Alabama or Ohio State. Also, last year Ohio State won the Championship with a running back they poached from Ole Miss, Quinshon Judkins. That had to sting. All while Kiffin is trying to piece a team together with transfers. Bottomline, if you can’t win a Championship in Oxford, Miss (SEC), then college football is in a worse place than college basketball. And that’s saying something.

Article from the Duke Student newspaper.... (I like the vivid description....of what the restless Akron fans were wearing 😁).....(ps...did anyone get a photo of Fknbuflobo in his pom-pom hat? 😁) https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke-mens-soccer-ncaa-tournament-akron-zips-ncaa-quarterfinal-john-kerr-acc-mac-ulfur-bjornsson-championship-20251201 “They had a lot of great weapons,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “They had determination. They were strong in the backfield and on our heels throughout the match.” The restless Zips fans — bundled in puffy coats and pom-pom hats to fend off the below-freezing temperatures — leapt to their feet to celebrate the score. Thick snow gloves diluted their clapping, so they took to stomping on the metal bleachers to show support.

Maybe so but I don't think 4 pts in 32 minutes vs Bowling Green is exactly the type of ROI K-State is looking for with their alleged 7 figure investment in Nate. If he was struggling vs Kansas or someone like that, sure, but Bowling Green?

When you look at the Akron team, you have you have 3 guys who have played together for several years that have just prospered under Groce. Meanwhile, Nate gets paid big bucks but is thrown in with an entirely new team and new coach. I think there will be an adjustment period for the players to come together as a team or the coach paid big bucks for guys who just cannot play well together. Time will tell.

What a win for Todd Simon and his BUGS squad. Got revenge on their former player, big man Marcus Johnson, and beat Nate Johnson in the same game. Nate got his bag, which is awesome for him, but Akron also gained a lot of freedom with his departure. I was never overly impressed with his game and often thought he was a detriment to the team with his style of play that commanded the basketball. Ball movement often died in his hands and there were moments where he was seemingly asleep at the wheel. I will forever appreciate his winning shot vs. Miami OH, but both parties - Nate and Akron - benefitted with him going to Kansas State. The MAC is looking mighty solid this year.

Apprentice lost to Howard by 36 tonight. Coe College came within 2 points of hitting the magical 36 point plateau against Northern Iowa,

He got the bag. He seemed miserable out there

He played 32 minutes and accomplished nothing. Previous years, he could take out BG on his own with a little help from Tavari.

Won't be a quad 1 for much longer.

So Bowling Green had to wait until Nate Johnson moved to K-State to beat him? 😉

Kansas State was 55 in NET that’s a Q1 win for BG and the conference

Watched the whole second half. Only thing Nate did of note was get rejected by a BG big. He was a ghost

Watched game. Didn’t really see where Nate tried to do much

Legit!

I just turned the game on and now it is 17. Great road win for BG.

It’s basically a wrap. The MAC gets its 2nd P4 win of the season. Bowling green is about to skyrocket in the rankings

BG up 13 on Kansas State with under 3 minutes left

Now Nate knows what it feels like to lose to Bowling Green. 4 big points for ole Nate.

Nope, straight to gulag for that.

Nope, not here. Absolutely unsalvageable. We're forever screwed no matter what.

Strikes me as something where the guy is a boozer or was banging a student. I'd say he may have accidentally misgendered a student, but his firing would have been immediate.

I'd settle for an airport where I'm not sweating my ass off after 5 minutes.
