48 Days to Kickoff! Does anyone know when the first day of Fall Camp officially starts?

I don't like seeing OJ Simpson on any list of top performers. I wish that he be "disappeared" from history.

I worry about every game Jon. Can our first game of the year be defined as a "Trap" game?

I will go with D'Anthony Thomas. Lightening in a bottle. He could turn any game on end with just one play. Thinking about the kickoff return at the Fiesta Bowl!

My concern is Dante Moore fades under pressure. I think this issue is the main reason he returned for this season.

According to CBS Sports, the NFL is not going to hold a Supplemental Draft for Brendan Sorsby. I attempted to post the article and managed to lose it. Sorsby now appears to be SOL. I doubt even Texas Tech would take him back now. He will be elgible for the 2027 NFL Draft.

DUMP TEXAS TECH IN 2033!

Texas Tech University aside from Brendan Sorsby has given itself a highly deserved bad reputation that will linger for years. Good riddance. Let's make sure we do not schedule them for anything.

Thanks very much Charles, working well for me!

This is very current (2026). Like some of you, I feel like I lived this. I was a Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) at Oregon and a year after my final year in 1967 we were booted off campus for life for many violations. I think they are back on campus now.

Thanks Jon for doing this series of analysis. I can grasp about 90% of what you are dishing up so I must be getting smarter!

Thanks very much Charles for all the fine work you have done and will continue to do in the future. Best of luck starting right now!

Where there is smoke there is often fire. I think it is time for Dylan Raiola to step up and let us know what the truth is. If this is just a rumor, with no intent to leave, let us know. If there is an intent to try to go to Texas Tech, do we really want this guy around?

Spring Game Recap

I found it interesting that the estimated NIL for Michigan was $10,000,000 and they started five portal players. It truly is a whole new day/game.

Thanks for your writeup Charles. I have read the book. I have seen the movie. It never gets old.

I read an article on this team and the relevant number for me was their schedule was ranked next to last of all teams in regards to strength of schedule. They won't be around for long IMHO. Even at 31-0 they are still on the bubble.

It is everywhere, just Google it and it is worth watching the entire four minutes. https://www.wsj.com/sports/olympics/alysa-liu-klaebo-shiffrin-milan-cortina-olympics-bed8878d?st=t7dFtp&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

To add to the health theme here. I turned 80 yesterday and 22 years ago survived a major heart attack. I am addicted to sticking around. I am at my college basketball weight of 206#. If you have high cholesterol which I did, I got on Repatha and give myself a cartridge injection twice a month. My total cholesterol LDL and HDL is now 96. I am currently following the guidelines of Dr. Peter Attia, from his book "Outlive". He is a longevity doctor and somewhat controversial because of one of his patients. Here is the ultra Cliff Note Highlights. He says that at age 75 everyone falls off a cliff unless they take charge.

Very nice Eulogy Mr. FishDuck. RIP 30 Duck you made a contribution. A reminder to all of us who will attend a "Celebration of Life" sometime this year. If a friend is seriously ill, go see them right now rather than waiting for a "Celebration of Life" because sad to say, they will not be in attendance.
