Oh man, Zipp is gonna love this.

Re: Shough
I haven’t heard (although I am no longer even close to a sports junkie) any talking heads saying anything about him when discussing this draft. I’m sure if this isn’t true I will be quickly enlightened 😆)

His stock can only go up IMO

That said, if his studs don’t play it will be hard for his stock to go up 🤔

Isn’t NCAA FB fun today? 🙄🥱💩

Tha classic “Be careful what you wish for….” 😉

Right now, the ones it hurts most are those who are paying for a lot of it.

Fans

And, I truly believe some players downs the road are going to have serious financial problems thru overspending, NOT making the league (or at a reduced salary) and TAXES!!

It going to be a rude awakening for some.

Of course all we will hear is MORE of how the poor “kids” were “taken advantage of”
🙄🥱

6'4" .... to short for Brohm. Sorry.

I know or I least I think you're joking but Brian would have never played for his brother. He's a midget at 6-3.

I'm torn about Shough playing. What he does in a bowl game won't change my opinion of him. I won't say it's a meaningless game because Brohm needs to know if he's got next year's QB on staff or who is the backup in case a portal QB turns out not to be the answer or gets hurt. Brohm has been either lucky or really good with his QB decisions the last 2 seasons. Yes, I want to beat Washington and I want to reward the accomplishments of this year's team but with the CFP we need to establish ourselves at the top of the ACC year in year out. I want to see what we have on the OL and DL for next year.

I get but nothing really changed. Money has always been a factor. Players have all came and went they just do it faster and are paid in the open. I am not a fan of where it is going but the results have been fun to watch.
It still is a good product to watch. All the home games were entertaining. Louisville was able to build a legit roster.

The downfall and it is coming will the SEC and Big Ten arrogance. The playoff is good for college football. IU, Arizona State, Boise St and SMU all have a shot at a title that is awesome. It has teams from all 3 time zones. It has incredible 1st round games. It is just packaged differently. Remember when all the big bowl games were on New Year Day? It was awesome. Now you get it next weekend. As a college football fan what more can you want?

It will expand but the ACC and Big 12 need to fight for equal representation. The reality is for the TV people they need the ACC and Big 12 to be good. It generates more viewership. It introduces more fanbases to watch their product. The end game may not change but the road to get there changes every year. It is the best soap opera or TV series ever. The SEC and Big want to blow it up because they want more teams that can’t win it either. That is their arrogance and the TV folks greed. Hopefully, next weekend is a ratings juggernaut.

You never hear the great story of Arizona State without the playoff. SMU who was sentenced to death because they cheated better than Texas counterparts is now playing for a chance to win a title. Yeah let’s blow all this up to get more 3 loss SEC teams in. Greed and arrogance has killed a lot of good things. The Roman Empire eventually failed.

That was the most exciting and competitive match I have ever witnessed in person.

At the end it was pure skill, determination, team play, and luck that won it after an incredible number of match points.

I have never seen anything close to the pressure in the final set. Neither team was going to lose but one had to.

Completely agree Mayoman, and I too wonder if my feelings are tied to my 75 year age; but so many of my younger UL fans express the same feelings that I have. Greed and money have changed college sports and not in a good way.

Man how do you really feel?

If it wasn't the ACC doing this whatever conference we would be in....likely would do the same. Like you I used to think just win and it won't matter. Not so sure about that anymore. The Cards are just the red headed bird that gets no respect.

I strongly dislike what CFB and CBB have become. I am losing interest fast. Maybe its my older age setting in and truly understanding that $$$ is the root of all evil that is turning my POV. Its like, 'Well hell, what's next?"

Its just not fun anymore. I really feel for the coaches. The players are just a product of this 'Me first, everything goes Wild West environment that has been created for and by them.'

I wish they wouldn't play this game this way. It truly is toxic and unsustainable. The ACC is what it is. I would prefer the B12 or some combination of 20 ACC/B12 with 2 dividions that excludes the NC mafia. That would teach them. Alas, that is just my pipe dream. UNC/Duke/WF/NC State can just bite me. We got to know you and you are .............

Wow, I got Mayo to comment on one of my post, and I totally agree with everything you said.

I think Teddy was a better pure QB than Lamar. I think he made better decisions and was more accurate. Now from a pure athletic standpoint I think you have to go with Lamar.
