RIPPA Posted October 7 Author Posted October 7 Deion Sanders had a medical procedure today (though it wasn't specifically said - it seems to be around Deion's recurrence of blood clots) He hopes to be ready to be at practice tomorrow and that he plans to coach this weekend but that is still up in the air

Since he's started coaching he has literally had multiple body parts removed. I don't think anyone would blame him for finding the nearest rocking chair. 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 8 Posted October 8 The *checks notes* Athletic (??) has apparently never covered college football before:
RIPPA Posted October 8 Author Posted October 8 Take this for what it is worth. And this is a part of a larger thread that implies that Belichick and staff have committed numerous recruiting violations too
hammerva Posted October 8 Posted October 8 (edited) I can see a soft landing in media happening but a soft landing with another team is highly delusional unless you are willing to go to a lower level school in the Jacksonville State level or a complete Patriots mark Edited October 8 by hammerva
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I mean, any port in a storm, you know? I guarantee you the producers of the Hulu doc are Patriots marks because if it's going as bad as we're seeing... I mean that's an Emmy by default

RIPPA Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 Well the rumors got so loud that both the University and Belichick put out terse one line statements saying they were committed to each other
supremebve Posted October 9 Posted October 9 On 10/8/2025 at 1:42 PM, Dolfan in NYC said: The *checks notes* Athletic (??) has apparently never covered college football before: This is a wild take. If you look at the top recruits every year and look at their college careers, this is nowhere close to the first flop. For instance, Alabama recrutied the #3 QB in the country in 2015, his name was Blake Barnett. He played 3 games for Alabama, transferred to Arizona State, played 3 games for them and ended up at South Florida. He was ranked higher than Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow. Arch Manning isn't even really a failure yet, he has two more years of eligibility.

Log Posted October 11 Posted October 11 The Illini are shooting themselves in the foot plenty with mistakes, but I just saw the third play where an Ohio St DB had two handfuls of an Illinois receiver’s jersey directly in front of a ref with no call.

gatling Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Hoo-hoo, Hoosiers!! 0-46 on the road vs. Top 5 opponents coming into this one. A couple of questionable/bad calls in the first half, one of which gave Oregon a short field for their first touchdown, but that top 10 defense came up big in the 2nd half giving up only a field goal while forcing two punts and coming up with two interceptions. What a win.
