I'm assuming UCF's growth plan they pitched included becoming one of the largest universities in the country. They grew enrollment then committed heavily to athletics, particularly football. That's how they've gotten to the Big12.

I don't think Irons improving is out of the question. The OLine improved quite a bit by the end of the season, and unfortunately we never saw a healthy Irons behind an improved OLine.

The financial weight is there because the revenue is there. Nothing is crashing. Attendance is already becoming less of a factor as media deals take precedent.

WMU was within a few baskets of beating KSUcks. They rebound well, but are Jekyll & Hyde with their shooting. If they're on, they're going to be tough to beat. If not, it's a win.

UT/Canada might reach 250 points.

Former KD assistant (and probably my favorite KD assistant of all time), Lamont Paris, is HC at South Carolina. He has Meechie Johnson playing for him, and they beat Kentucky at Rupp Arena for the first time since 2009.

You should see the alternates... @GoZips88 This was after his tantrum with the coaching staff and refs, right? I was flipping back and forth in between a couple games and didn't quite catch his "prance". I'm so glad Pinky stole him away from Akron. His 💩 doesn't stink, just like the 💩 name on the front of his jersey. Perfect match.

Anquan Boldin's nephew (yes, that Anquan Boldin).

The 2022 MAC Player of the Year skipped the entire length of the court to find a camera after making a 3 to get back within a basket early in the second half of the MAC Championship game. Those were his final points, as he went scoreless for the remaining 17 minutes and his team got boat raced by 20 in the end. 6 pts, 9 turnovers were his final numbers. He probably wakes up every morning, shines his MAC POY trophy, and smiles at his reflection in it. To me, the individual hardware is meaningless if the entire team underachieves.

At this point in the season, yes, this year's team is quite a bit better than last year's team. Last year's team took 3/4 of the season to figure out their identity AND couldn't shoot. This year's team has just had trouble making shots up to this point, although that's changing with recent games. They know their identity, though.

I'm glad Jim Christian is on the bench. The Boston College thief who set a NCAA record for fewest pts scored in a half of a NCAA Tournament game (2008 w/ KSUcks vs UNLV), lost to Akron by 20 in the 2013 MAC Championship game with Groce's Sweet Sixteen team, and was at the helm for some of the trashiest KSUcks teams in memory. Yeah, he's gonna do a whole lot for that culture. During Friday's game against OU, inSincere was having one of his diva moments, and not one assistant/teammate/etc. was able to calm him down. They almost lost thanks to his failure in the final moments. That team is going to go nowhere. They're being anointed some sort of mid major darlings, and I can all but guarantee the players are buying into the headlines and hype instead of realizing they haven't accomplish diddly squat.

Wasel For Heisman 2024.

CJ Stroud to the NFL Draft. The fact that his delayed announcement gave OSUcks fans hope, only for him to break their hearts in the end after never fully delivering for them in Columbus, makes me a sudden fan of his.

KSUcks, to quote Joey Tribbiani, will "fold like a cheap hooker who got hit in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face." Their arrogance, cockiness, etc., is exactly the type of culture you get with Pinky and InSincere. Not sure how many they'll lose in the regular season, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fail to reach the MAC Finals in March. MAC is wide open, and if Akron starts making their shots consistently, it's their MAC to lose until someone knocks them off (in March). Their pace of play is up (71.7 possessions per game), their pts per game are up (80 ppg last 3 games), and their defense is still stellar.

Definitely understood what you were pointing out. It is a very impressive job because it's one thing to see what the obvious holes are, but it's another to fill those holes. We are considerably better, IMO, this offseason.

Maybe so now, but our secondary was anything but crowded last year. Defenses always found space to attack.

That's one of the better high school recruits we've gotten under JoeMo. Very nice.

Darrion Baker is a McDonald's All American nominee.

They have a message board? How excited do you think they were when they hit double-digit site views for the first time ever when Bates committed?

Announcer said she talked to NBA scouts that said X and Freeman are on their radar.

We'd be 3-0 if he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Green is the perfect color for Bates. What a string bean.
