Huggy Bear has resigned. Great coaching career. Horrible ending. That diversity equity, inclusion training broke him. DEI > DUI > Resignation

JoeMo is a household name in the coaching and diehard college football fan circles - not so much the casual/surface level college football fan. Once there's more exposure to him, his brain, his staff, and his connections (the dude gets people to The League) - look out.

Do we know when the application for the 7th year was submitted? If he submitted it before spring ball and it took this long to review, only for them to deny it, that's Bush League crap from the NCAA.

Why did it seem like there was no question he'd be back?

Offers from Boston College & UMASS. Good get, especially since he has the @catdaddyp stamp of approval.

The Big Ten is the MAC's *****. Akron may continue the streak.

Welcome to the Big Leagues. This feels right.

So this settles it. 12-0. See y'all in the Playoff.

Looks like he transferred there from Saco, ME. Do we know how long he played for Dutch Fork?

And keep in tact the core that led to the 2 wins (mainly the WR room with George & Adams; thank you Louis for setting the tone).

Because he can put the kabbash on the opponents' offense. We're playing name chess.

Yuge. Literally. 6'5" off the edge. That's a spot we've been undersized at for a while IIRC.

Big Ten Vetting Other Programs for Expansion

Emoni? Interesting. He should just go to the European leagues. They don't have guns so half his problems take care of themselves.

*West coast college football is a disaster. The east coast/midwest/south regions dominate the media markets, which is the PAC 12 is essentially folding into the Big Ten/Big 12. They want a piece of the pie they can't get with the PAC 12. The only geographic "what the Hells" are USC/UCLA to the Big Ten. Otherwise, every other move has made sense. Arizona is a little questionable but still not wild. Edit: thought of some questions I have about the landscape going forward... - Does the West Coast have a big enough college sports market to support a P5 conference? - Where do ASU, Oregon, and Washington land? - Does the Mountain West add lower end PAC 12 members and create a G5 arms race with the American Athletic Conference as the Playoff expands? - The article mentions that the Big 12 might look to add 2 ACC schools. Florida State, Clemson, Louisville, Miami FL, and Pittsburgh would be the schools I'd imagine would draw interest and be interested in a move. - The ACC would likely maintain its branding as the academic power conference, and could backfill any lost members if it so chooses, although it is already quite large after adding the Big East programs years ago. Who would be potential ACC adds? - Where does Notre Dame land?

Colorado & Arizona In Talks To Join Big 12

This was pretty much going to be my post as well. In addition to not having much faith in Undercuffler, I also think it's important to have your backup be a similar style as your starter to keep a consistent playbook. Irons' playbook is drastically different than Undercuffler's.

Good for RayJ. Waco is fantastic and their coach is apparently quite the human being. My wife and I honeymooned in Waco, and our Fixer Upper tour guide was good friends with the coach. Learned a lot about him. He'll actually experience success in March!

I was referring to all players in regards to academics. "Student-athlete" is the biggest joke marketing label when it comes to football and basketball. These are employees of the universities, and their job is to make the universities money. Period.

Every team does. These are football players that have to play school.

Select TV Announced for MAC Games Notable: Akron @ Kentucky is at 7pm on ESPNU

Capped off with a NCAA Tourney win. I wonder if he developed a jump shot during his NBA Draft training.

And they join George & Adams, who nearly completed a trio of 1000 yard receivers last year. Arguably the best WR room in the country for G5.

I forgot about half these guys. Goodness what a class. Hats off to Joe Mo & staff for bringing in so much talent. Also, isn't Dakota Thomas gone already? Edit: @Zipmeister Shammond Cooper's previous school column needs expanded to show the Fighting Illini. Unless of course you have something against the University of Illinois, in which case @Illini Zip would like to have a word with you.

@catdaddyp Do you think Bubba has a shot at the NFL - even if it's practice squad?
