10.7 million people tuned in to the Cotton Bowl last Friday. That's incredible.

Where’s Prison Bitch when you need him? “College football is dead.”

It's on football scoop. You never know what's really going on & who's leaking what & why but it appears serious at the moment. I think we will have clarity soon.

This yr's NC matchup is great for the sport I think - a couple fresh teams that haven't been in it for awhile.

Bring back Saul Good! Dude ended PB and that turd Bambi

That’s a name that I have not heard in a very long time.

I was definitely at the game and people definitely booed him when his name was announced as the starting QB. It was in the pregame. We had a great season and I’m happy to eat crow on my feelings for Cook, but don’t try to rewrite what happened if you weren’t even there. Walking into that stadium there wasn’t a single fan acting like we stood a chance and all the talk at Harpo’s that morning with fellow fans was about how Horn needed to be the starter. Cook and Drink followed up the boos with one of the best performances I watched at that stadium in awhile and deserved all the respect they got after that, but those games before that were not giving anyone ANY sort of confidence. Maybe the boos from the crowd sparked a fire in the play calling. It definitely seemed to light Drink up a bit in the postgame conference. You’re out of your mind if you think that his reaction was because of ONE fan close to the bench.

Theo Wease is coming back for 2024…..hell yeah.

That WR room is gonna be NASTY….

This is gonna sound like an insult. It kinda might be even if I don't intend it as such.

But a guy like Drink has to work HARD to get the kind of credibility for that speech to not make his guys just giggle. This tubby little nerdy guy with a squeaky voice and a kinda southern, kinda not accent is out there shouting "We're wilderness forged!!"

I kinda liken it to Patton a bit. George C. Scott does a HELL of a Patton and frankly, Patton would've likely had an easier time if he looked and sounded like George C. Scott. But he was kindof a mousy/sinewy dude with a pretty nasal voice. If that guy was telling you "We're going to grease the treads of our tanks with their guts" and you weren't laughing at him, he ****ing earned that kind of capital.

He got that kind of buy in through equity and not gravitas, if that makes any sense. In a way, that makes it quite a bit more impressive. I'm kinda curious how that plays over any real timeline. Is that the sort of thing that you actually build a wave behind? Or is it a very up and down sort of scenario?

Here's what I mean:

It's kinda jarring. Patton the historical figure isn't nearly as impressive an orator on a surface level than Patton the Hollywood creation. And yet that dude got shit done. Guys worshipped him.

So he must've worked his ass off to get that kind of loyalty and engender that kind of spirit.

He won…..a lot. That is what helped him so much. Plus he did have quite a few memorable statements that stuck with people.

He really hurt his legacy by smacking the soldiers in the hospital, but that's what helped the success of operation fortitude.

Looks like Baker is leaving for LSU….

Why sign a contract extension with Mizzou 3 weeks ago if you know you might leave?

That makes zero sense.
