Re: 7 ACC Schools Joining Together, Considering Future Of Conference

There likely won't be any relegation. The top teams in those conferences want some easy wins in conference play especially as they go to 9 conference games. We can complain all we want but 75 years of bad decisions put Tulane in this piss poor position. You can't have it both ways. If you accept th...

Re: 7 ACC Schools Joining Together, Considering Future Of Conference

Viewership has not waned over the years.
The available talent has been diluted to such a state that even top p5 programs lack the players to develop.

Re: 7 ACC Schools Joining Together, Considering Future Of Conference

Merit based relegation has to be part of the answer to get rid of the perennial shitbirds on an unearned gravy train. The Big10 needs to drop a significant portion of it's current programs.

Re: 7 ACC Schools Joining Together, Considering Future Of Conference

There must be an administrative authority (outside of television networks), that will determine the future of college football. Today there really is only one "power conference" and it will get stronger with the additions of UT & Oklahoma (2024). The SEC is in good shape to pay out 50+...

Re: Spring Practice 2023

It is great to hear that our cover zero db's are showing up. My concern for the defense is at d-line. Last season we played a yard off the LOS. It was easy compared to an aggressive reactive two gap. Learning a two gap is difficult. It requires outstanding coaching under live good-on-good drills &am...

I just hope our 2023 D can open-field tackle like our 2022 D did. The tackling was outstanding last year. In 2022 they had time & space to pursue and execute the tackle. Going forward quite a few of our DB's will have their backs turned to the LOS. In 2023 the D-lineman will play an aggressive ...

We should hire Charlie Strong as DC now that he left Miami. Hire him if he is the best candidate, not because he is a "name". Obviously, Miami was not impressed with him as DC, and he is hardly a coach who is known for winning. He is one of those guys who keeps getting re-hired, even with...
