College football

So now I'm trying to unsee 2 things.

Belichick on a college sideline as coach - (his postgame pressers are always a treat too)

Belichick with a 24 year old girlfriend

sdandrea1 I've heard that 1 stipulation for him taking the job was that his gf gets put on the cheerleading squad. $50M, was secondary.

Par4QC Yeah, but the Jr High team is set. Plan B is in play.

What is the line for Over/Under for drones at the Army-Navy game today?

Do they come out in the daytime?

I'm betting the "over" and am certain the cadets won't even give 'em a glance. They know...

jsippy73 Everyday, all day.

Was talking about the ones people are seeing now. Wondered if the were being seen in daylight hours.

His jail time doesn't matter.....paid his dues, I guess? If someone is going to take a leadership position over young men, I would hope they would consider addressing the 800 lb elephant in the room right up front.

azgreg His team will be in a dogfight every week.

Too soon?

azgreg lol, be paid his debt! Time to move on.

Every College Football Playoff team wants their focus to solely be on winning a national title, but Penn State head coach James Franklin addressed a problem elsewhere in the sport. 
The college football transfer portal is open, and the timing couldn’t be worse for coaches like Franklin, who already saw a key backup player enter. 
But Franklin defended his backup quarterback, Beau Pribula, who made the decision to enter the portal after starter Drew Allar already declared his intention to return to the Nittany Lions in 2025. 
"We got problems in college football, and I can give you my word Beau Pribula did not want to leave our program, and he did not want to leave our program until the end of the season," Franklin said, via ESPN, on Monday in defense of Pribula’s decision to enter the portal. "But the way the portal is and the timing of it and the way our team is playing, and when you play the position of quarterback and there’s only one spot and those spots are filling up, he felt like he was put in a no-win situation, and I agree with them."

Why wouldn't college football open up he portal after the playoffs are completed?

Yes, terrible news for Penn State. No backup quarterback. Really liked him, made some great plays.

Marshall has lost so many players (over 25) they were forced to withdraw from their Independence Bowl game. These smaller programs/conferences are turning into nothing more than developmental leagues to be poached from by the larger programs. Between transfers and NFL bound players opting out (as I imagine Sanders and Hunter will for Colorado), Bowl season has become a joke.

Because the portal period needs to be prior to the following semester so kids can get into classes.

I agree, interest, and more importantly “money”, will wane. Hopefully the playoffs will expand sufficiently to make up any difference.
I’m not sure how they fix the transfer portal issue … limit it to once? Or only once every two years? Lose a year of eligibility? Needs to be some kind of deterrent.
