2024 college football offseason thread

Unfortunately the prices listed don’t include the required game ticket. Ordinarily I would say those should be dirt cheap outside the gates, but they may suffer from being such a thinly-traded commodity (i.e. scalpers don’t bother).

 

WSU has a branch campus there.

And there are a lot of Beaver fans in PDX who would not take kindly to a bridge painted specifically to "honor" UO. OTOH, the current Interstate Bridge is already green steel, so it could be WGAF. Nobody wants it purple.

OSU downsized its stadium by about 4-5K when it redid the West grandstand. No more bleacher seats, etc.; it's spectacular and all the seats are much closer to the field.

 

If they're rooting interest is like it was when I lived there, it's all Oregon all the time. Oregon stickers in Oregon/Washington are like Salt Life stickers in Jacksonville.

 

"But all you guys with speeding tickets? We've got a fixer for that, don't worry. You won't even miss a class you're not attending."

 

We had Duke football season tickets for a couple seasons in the 90s when basically none of their games were on TV. It had to have been dirt cheap. The bathrooms sure were a odious sight.

I seem to remember they made a decently big deal about the renovations ~10 years ago when Cutcliffe dragged them kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

 

Today in womens college sports: You only cover us when we sign a million-dollar shortstop!

 

Some pretty serious allegations being levied against Coach Prime and Colorado here:

and the foundation of Coach Prime's Camelot is starting to show cracks.

What, finishing 1-8 last year after a fool's-gold 3-0 start wasn't a crack?

 

A really bad look for new Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore. Then again, he was in the middle of this last season: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/...stealing-scandal-connor-stalions/74665897007/

 

I don't understand how people think they can get away with deleting texts or photos on a phone. Or emails, or that a Ring-doorbell-CCTV-road-something camera somewhere won't get a photo or video. Or phone calls (see Freeze, Hugh).

I guess some people really are that dumb.

 

"It's like a real-life Grand Theft Auto video game," one former player said. "There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around. The environment is unlike any I’ve come from before."


No, no, no, no, no. You cannot put that kind of quote as an anonymous speaker, with that allegation, to lead off a story. Of course the sources fear retaliation if named. So you don't have a story. But you can't do that as a reporter and be taken seriously.
