There's method to the decommitment game. Find out what you're worth at Program O, a program with sound NIL management, and then put yourself out for bid. How many flips are up to the recruit compared to his parents and agent? Probably not that many. You could pay a recruit a signing bonus and have him sign a contract, but a program, Miami, for instance, will ignore the deal until the agreement passes muster in court. To date, the key OBD stat for me is that OBD has not lost a starter to the transfer portal. I trust Dan and company to fill holes from the portal. You're more likely to pay the correct salary to a guy who has played college ball and whose play at the college level is not a complete guess. Folks market their skills all the time. This is how Head Hunters, a/k/a business recruiting concerns, make their money. And Head Hunters have been known to tamper with a company's roster on occassion. 😁 Without an agreement with a players union there will be no surcease of players trying to earn all they can as soon as they can; especially, when you can put yourself up for auction season after season. Imagine what the NFL would look and what players would be paid without fines for exceeding a salary cap, and with no restraint on free agency and tampering. In other words, today's CFB. Before December's signing day, I simply ignore recruiting and the falaciously referred to 'commitments.'

You'll need to board the Soul Train to ask these folks the C(ommitment) Question - Zsa Zsa Gabor - 9 marraiges. 🤪 Only eight for - Liz Taylor, Lana Turner, and Mickey Rooney. Rooney's bank account got shorter after every divorce. 🤑

The line has swung in UW's favor. With three key starters out on defense, LB Al-Uqdah, CB Davis, and Nickelback McCutcheon out, I'm not sure why this is the case.

NFL talent galore on the field. I'm looking forward to the third round of Will Stein 😇 vs. Jim Knowles. 🤬 The judges' cards are even through two rounds. (OK, the first round may have been a draw? 😁) Will Tosh find a way to stop the PSU run game? Both Allen and Singleton rushed for over 100 yards in last season's B1G champ game. If they do this again on their home field ...? OBD needs to make Allar throw potential INTs. OBD, PSU, ESPN, NBC, and the CFB world at large expected both teams to be undefeated coming into this heavyweight rematch. How much have both coaching staffs on both sides of the ball been hiding against seven overmatched opponents? I think Sadiq will again freak out the Penn State faithful.👺 Show Knowles what he doesn't know! Put a Spankin' on Franklin! Sadiq, Freak Out! 🤪

AP on the ACC's moving to nine conference games. AP NewsACC moving to 9-game football schedule starting next year...The Atlantic Coast Conference is moving to a nine-game league schedule for football while having teams play at least 10 games against power-conference opponents, though there will be variables due toThe ACC's discussions on whether to go to nine games were 'incredibly intentional.' Not mundane and meandering? 🤔 How about: 'We do this or we look like chicken spit weenies! Next subject.'

Not Texas, but close. I think the Oklahoma State job will open up, and to win there, you have to recruit Texas. Baylor's had two tough losses this season: to Auburn in Week 1 and last Saturday to ASU. I think Dave Aranda is good for at least one more season. But Aranda was a D coach at Wisconsin when the Badgers won with D and its run game. When Fickel is fired, Aranda, if Baylor goes 9-3, could be in the mix for the Badgers' job. Lots of coaching dominoes if Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Florida jobs come open. If Florida offers the job to Lane Kiffin, which I think is a real possibility, in addition to Ole Miss, other jobs could open in the SEC. Mark Stoops' buyout at Kentucky is large, but many Kentucky fans are ready for him to go. Clark Lea has Vandy competing in every game the Commodores play. Lea's a Vandy alum, but he has a chance to earn more money if he takes a different job in the SEC. Jeff Lebby has Mississippi State playing much better in his second season in Starkville and is paid 'only' $4.5 million a year. It's all good in Norman, Oklahoma, today, but the Sooners were the beneficiary of two bad calls against Auburn, beat Auburn by seven points, and have not been able to run the ball. Mateer is exciting, but his QB Efficiency ranking is not top-tier. After blowing out Kent State this coming Saturday, Oklahoma has the rivalry game vs. Texas, plays Ole Miss, Missouri, and LSU at home, and plays South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama on the road. Long-time AD Castiglione hired Brent Venables and is retiring after this season. Oklahoma will be five-0, but those last seven games? Unless Dan Mullen, 4-0 at UNLV, wants badly to be back in the Power 4 and takes the UCLA job, if offered, I see UCLA and OK State as the two most likely to hire P4 assistant coaches or G6 head coaches. I believe we'll see a lot more coaching changes in 2025 than last season. Pants Penn State!

I don't believe the ACC had any choice but to follow the B1G, B12, and the SEC. Like the SEC, the ACC will require its members to play 10 games vs. P4 opponents. The B1G has no such requirement. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/acc-votes-to-expand-football-schedule-to-nine-conference-games-10-power-4-games-each-season/

Here's some general information on Beaver Stadium, including where to go for pre-game activities. https://gopsusports.com/beaver-stadium-a-z-guide Quack Out Penn State!

In 1964, Oregon QB Bob Berry led then-unbeaten Les Casanova-coached Oregon to a 22-14 road win over Penn State. Oregon finished the season 7-2-1. 1-2-1 in the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Two of OBD's five home games were played in Multnomah Stadium in Portland. Not sure if the team flew, bussed, or hitchhiked to Penn State?

The Arch in Texas has not been golden. 😁 After a nap, next up for Archie is a team with a real D that cannot score points; Florida in the Swamp. The Florida D shut down Nussmeier and the LSU O, and did the same thing for most of the game to Carson Beck and Miami.
