Ryan Day definitely has a Michigan problem

He definitely has a Michigan problem... Ohio State lived in Michigan's head for a number of years... and Jim Harbaugh, to his credit... has completely turned this thing around. If I were Ryan Day... I would suggest maybe looking at finding more Ohio guys that qualified to be on the roster to make them appreciate what this game really means.

Day lost his third straight game to Michigan in 2023.

The Bears are no longer a million pieces away from being a good football team

For the first time in a very long time, I'm optimistic about the Chicago Bears and where they're headed because I think you can build off of what they've done defensively... we're no longer just like a million pieces away. We're a few pieces away from being a good football team.

The Bears showed improvement in late 2023 and had a major 2024 offseason (Caleb Williams), validating the 'few pieces away' sentiment.

Josh Dobbs should not learn the playbook to be a better quarterback

He maybe should just not learn the playbook because... when he was in Arizona, he had been signed to the Cardinals like two weeks before the season started and played well... maybe it's just learning the playbook is too much.

While comedic, Dobbs was eventually benched by the Vikings after several poor performances once the 'newness' wore off.

The loss to Michigan was the worst loss for the Ohio State fan base ever

I actually think this might be the worst loss for a fan base ever in Ohio State... If they had won on Saturday, they could have all gone around and said, the only reason you beat us was 'cause you cheated. And the minute you couldn't cheat anymore, all the normalcy has been restored. Now Michigan... gets to be like, you guys cried, you bitched, you moaned, you started investigations and we still just ran the ball down your throat.

This is a subjective take on fan psychology, but Michigan went on to win the National Championship, making the loss sting even more for OSU.

College football players should be required to sign contracts and form a union

I think these players at this point, they need to sign contracts. I think we need a CBA, I think we need to form some kind of player's union... we somehow need to get that national view to partner with the players union. Create a CBA where you're held accountable. Okay, we're gonna agree on NIL here are the rules we're gonna agree on... and then we obey the contract on both sides.

This is a policy proposal for the future of college athletics, which is currently undergoing significant legal and structural changes.

What's the, I, what's the IU Notre Dame? Seven and a half... I would say IU. I'd probably say IU would, would be [the upset].

Indiana did not upset Notre Dame. Notre Dame won 27-17 in the CFP first round on December 20, 2024.

Bill Belichick will prioritize academic performance at North Carolina

I really think as much as you guys are saying, Hey, don't worry about the education... I think he's gonna think about how I do both... I think he's gonna, the reason it took two weeks... I'm sure he sat there and just gathered so much intel... but I do think he's gonna do the academic side. I I, that's just me.

Belichick's success in managing academics at UNC will be visible over the next few years through the team's APR and graduation rates.
