    I think most SEC people still feel that way about Missouri and probably always will. Same with Oklahoma.
    Texas A&M has meshed well with the SEC culture, and I suspect Texas will as well. They're obnoxious as hell, but they have a character trait. Missouri and Oklahoma are just sorta ... there.

    And they were STILL mostly blowouts for the next quarter century. :)

    God, can we please just start over and do it correctly?

    Eugene-born Justin Herbert did pretty well as a homegrown QB for Oregon. But, yes, many QBs transfer as soon as they know they won't start or will have to compete for the position.

    I would rather this entire thing be played on neutral fields.

    Tired of watching the big boys eat home cooking.

    Kind of a misleading headline. Greg Sankey said he asked about pushing Notre Dame-Penn State back to Friday to give Notre Dame an extra day of rest. It doesn't sound like he was trying to gain an advantage for his team Texas, unless you start going down the logic chain of, "Well, Texas basically has a home game, Ohio State would have to travel a day earlier ... advantage, Texas! HA HA!"

    Riley Leonard “game manager “? He did just enough. Pretty “soft” arm IMHO.

    Never been a Domer fan “touchdown Jesus” all that. But loved how they were undersized and got push on both sides of the line.

    And Freeman >>>> Smart.

    Lastly, love how the played press M2M almost exclusively. If I need a CB, I’m going to South Bend.

    In regards to Leonard, I think it's more about Freeman and how he wants the offense to run. He threw for 700 more yards in two less games his last full season at Duke.

    Yes. And he's been gone since 2019. Last three starting QBs were transfers from Boston College, Auburn and Oklahoma. A CLA transfer is supposed to be next up, but I think they'll find somebody else because he was terrible at UCLA in 2023.

    Oregon signed high school QB Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele in December, flipping him from Cal at the last moment. He was enrolled at UO and was supposed to start classes on Monday. He's now expected to enter the portal.

    Surprised that Mendoza is going to Indiana. His dad played at Miami with Cristobal and he's from there and Miami needs a QB.

    If he's enrolling just to enter the portal, why waste the registrar's time?
