Indiana coach Curt Cignetti shouldn't have claimed the Hoosiers would be in the Big Ten title game next year.

He went to the Indiana basketball game and he said Purdue sucks, so does Michigan and Ohio State... He said 'I'd figure I should make this trip up here since we'll be playing in this game next year.' ... He should not have said that. That's stupid.

While PFT called it 'stupid', Indiana actually went 11-1 in 2024 and was in the CFP hunt, making Cignetti's claim remarkably prescient even if they narrowly missed the title game.

The Saints should let their offense run through Taysom Hill all the time.

They should just let that offense run through Taysom Hill all the time. There's nobody like him in the NFL. He seems to be effective at moving the chains. The offense is something that like, you can't really prepare for that well.

The Saints continued to split time between Derek Carr and Hill, never fully committing to Hill as the primary engine of the offense.

The Saints need to blow everything up and reset their franchise

The Saints just have to admit that they suck and they have to start blowing everything up because the Saints have been doing this for, it started at the end of the Brees era and it's been going on ever since where they just continually kick the can down the road. The Saints are $71 million over the cap next year. I don't even know how that's possible. Why wouldn't they just start trading people? Start cutting, start trading, just reset everything. If you're a Saints fan, you have to want a fresh restart.

Subjective opinion on roster management, though the Saints notably did NOT blow it up and continued to restructure contracts for 2024.

Making the playoffs as the NFC South representative would be the worst thing for the Saints long-term.

The worst thing that could happen to the Saints is they somehow get into the playoffs as the NFC South representative, lose a game and then they can tell themselves, oh we were, we were pretty close. We were a playoff team. Like, you just gotta hit reset on everything.

The Saints finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs anyway, and did not 'reset' their roster or coaching staff significantly in the following offseason.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
