Although I am glad we are mining the portal more the last couple of years and hope all of them work out, I do not get into preseason rankings. Means absolutely nothing to me. Each year is different. The culture of the team will decide our destiny at the end of the day given we have many key coaches...

There was scant mention of a playoff too.

Some of us will like this and some of us won't this "Back To The Future"

Glad he's playing closer to home this season. Definitely needed this depth.

I have faith in Clark to assess an offensive lineman. My comment is based upon our historical recruiting practices, which at times needed to trend to smaller/quicker players due to availability. Would love for these three to mesh with the others and grind the opponent down in the 4th quarter even w...

I’ll take a wait and see approach on all of these guys. One would hope that the staff wouldn’t take someone if they didn’t feel like they could perform in the scheme. I get that they are shiny new toys from P5 programs but what’s in the name on the back of the jersey that should level set expectati...

The way this thread was headed I thought we'd picked up Owl Gore in the portal.

OT, but how much money are we making? Hope inflation has hit college game payouts like groceries.

Players of their abilities make it to the field.

Sure would have liked to have had LB McCleod this past season.

Bottom line is that losing an extremely talented player hurts.

G5 programs will be a feeder system for P5 programs. Many of our better players will take the leap for cash. NIL and portal suck especially for programs like APP. I like it less than anybody, because it takes away what has helped build our successes. The players can't be blamed because of what the ...

Wouldn’t surprise me that the highly successful P5 teams have already been covertly communicating with electronics to players during games. Regarding the use of devices not being connected to other/larger ones: the NFHS has allowed that in the high schools for 10 years or more. My school had tablet...

This one hurts a lot. Time for Spellman to step up. And there lies the Catch 22. Say Spellman steps up and has a great year. Are we having this same conversation next year? It’s the world we live in. We are never going to have the money to compete with these P5s so I have fully expected it. I just ...

1) Anyone know why Wright didn't make it, looks like that would be layup that he would be at least number #2? QB backup quality and 2) DL worries the crap out of me at the moment. 3) Back to my earlier thought, the success of our program should sell itself, I'm not gathering that we are having our ...
