Takes

Kurt Cignetti is a coward for his punt against Ohio State

Kurt Cignetti biggest coward pussy of all time. You can't talk shit... and then punt down 20 points, 20 plus points on midfield. Like what a pussy.

The 12-team playoff made the college football season significantly more fun

Remember the college football playoff going to 12 teams, in my opinion, made this season so much more fun. Like we had weekends that didn't have, that would not have meant anything. Mean something... This weekend sucked. But like, you have to take what, what the 12 team playoff is, is not just this first weekend. It's everything that happened all season long.

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.

The Dr Pepper tuition challenge is 'embarrassing' and should be moved back 10 yards to ban chest passes

I'm with you. That, that, you know, everybody, it is almost like pop a shot. They're just firing that thing away. Right. And it, it doesn't take any ability at all. Right. So I think that, I think you're onto something. I think you move it back at least another 10 yards... to take away that, the chest pass.

College football should get rid of conference championships and just start the 16-team playoff that weekend

Get rid of the conference championships. If you're gonna do it this way, get rid of the conference championships and just have the playoffs start that weekend. Yeah. Like, have it be the first weekend of December, have it be 16 teams or whatever it is.

The top four teams in the CFP should always get a bye, regardless of whether they won their conference

Top four teams should get a bye. Because as it stands right now, and I Boise's good, I think Boise could beat anyone... But it just, it's, when I look at the bracket, the thing that keeps sticking out is like Oregon had by far and away the best season in college football... And their matchup potentially is gonna be Ohio State or Tennessee in the first round. Which that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Cam Skattebo's chaotic throwaway against BYU was actually a high-IQ play

He's so intelligent. He said, whoa, I'm outta the pocket. I can throw the ball away. So he made a decision in a split second. Instead of losing 20 yards, I wanna throw the ball away. And I knew like as it was going, I'm like, this dude's gonna throw the ball away... he's such, so, such an aware player.

Coaches shouldn't be hypocritical by getting angry at players for using the transfer portal

Why would I be mad at a kid for wanting to be, do what's best for him? Coaches do it all the time. I've moved around, assistant coaches move around. What a double standard that would be for me if I don't support the players and their career aspirations. Like I support coaches and like I did in my career.

I feel no remorse for Alabama missing the College Football Playoff

Alabama got left out. I feel no remorse for Alabama... you lost all three of your games in the conference. Their three losses were Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Tennessee... you just have to win the games that you should win.

Kyle McCord would have won the Michigan game for Ohio State by three touchdowns

And, and you know who probably wins that game? Kyle McCord... Oh, Kyle McCord wins that game by three touchdowns.

Lane Kiffin is embarrassing himself by whining about the schedule after losing to Kentucky

He is embarrassing himself as he has most of the the, the season... Lane Kiffin is the Ole Miss coach should be saying, we want to go the SEC championship game... And now he's doing this whining about schedule and he is whining about strength of schedule... While all he had to do was beat Kentucky a four and eight team who won one SEC game.

Ohio State vs. Michigan 2024 was the most devastating loss of all time

I actually think that might've been the worst loss of all time in the history of losses... There were 20 point favorites. Ohio State is a loaded, Michigan doesn't have an offense. They don't have a quarterback. Michigan had a dog shit season and they still went in and bullied him in Columbus.

The 12-team playoff has officially saved the college football regular season

The 12 team playoff is gonna be great. Anyone who says the regular season won't matter is not seeing the big picture... We saw on Saturday a chaotic, chaotic scene all across the country in games that would not have mattered if it weren't for the 12 team playoff.

There was a coordinated media hit against Indiana Football orchestrated by Greg Sankey

Greg Sankey made a call to all of media on Monday and had everyone in the media bash them when they have their big game coming up against Ohio State. And that makes no sense to me. Indiana has not played anyone. Indiana's an awesome story. Indiana's an underdog story. I'm rooting for Indiana.

If SEC message boards had been in charge of NORAD on 9/11, they would have shut it down — they're all over flight tracking

If the SEC message boards had been in charge of NORAD on 9/11, we would've shut that shit down. They are all over the private jets.

Big Noon Kickoff has killed Gus Johnson — he has no life left in him

The Big Noon Kickoff has killed Gus Johnson. He has no life left to him. He just had no energy. It was a scooping score fumble recovery for a touchdown and he called it like he was reading the newspaper.

Brian Kelly is such a loser — he complained to refs about Alabama blitzing with 15 seconds left

Brian Kelly, he's just such a loser. Did you see the clip of him complaining to the refs about Alabama blitzing eight with like 15 seconds left? LSU had their whole starters in, they were trying to score a touchdown and he's like, I can't believe you blitzed. He's just a loser, loser, loser.

Indiana should be ranked ahead of Ohio State and Texas because they are undefeated

I think you should just like, as a personal belief, the undefeated team should be ranked ahead of the team with a loss no matter what the schedule is like at this point in the season... Indiana's undefeated. And you could say, well they haven't beaten anyone. True. But if you go common opponents... Indiana beat Nebraska by a million.

College football is better than it has ever been

I have a belief now that college football is better than it has ever been. And I know there was a lot of handwringing going on with all the changes happening. But we're now in a spot and there's gonna be more change. I get it. Expansion, all that stuff with the NIL. The NIL and the portal flattening it out. So it doesn't feel like this year, maybe Texas, but it doesn't feel outside of Texas that there's those like two or three super teams that no one has a chance against.

College kickers miss big kicks because they are mentally weak

My theory is this, is that football players... develop mental toughness. Kickers don't do that. Kickers... are not mentally tough. And so when you get in those pressure moments, they haven't been mentally hardened... I just think kickers are mentally weak man.

Tattoos are not a quarterback's look

I have a theory on Carson Beck. I think the, I think the tattoos are too much for a quarterback. That's just not a quarterback's look.

Urban Meyer's coaching style would not work in modern college football

I have a ton of respect for Urban, but I don't think his style of coaching is overly conducive with today's college football. He's a grinder. Yeah, absolutely... That's a small portion of why Saban walked away. Like he couldn't coach the guys the way that he wanted to anymore, the way the guys probably need to be coached. But you now you have an out... Rick Trickett... referenced me as the dumbest motherfucker... every single day. You can't do that anymore.

Dylan Raiola is creepy for stealing Patrick Mahomes' entire identity

The Dylan Raiola thing is creepy. Like, I'm actually creeped out by it. How he's trying to steal Patrick Mahomes's life. It's weird. It's the mannerisms, the way he was warming up was basically a copycat for Patrick Mahomes. And the hair is exactly the same. It's weird.

College football is better off with a 12-team playoff and it doesn't diminish the regular season

I think this day is a long time coming for college football. Anybody that says college football is worse off for the playoff is lying or just grifting... it doesn't diminish the regular season at all. It makes us have way more games that matter in November.

Gratitude and mental toughness are the core of Notre Dame's offensive 'Grit' motto

It's the motto of our offense for this year... Coach Denbrock, we just hired him this year to be our offensive coordinator and he brought that when he came. And I love it, man... We talk about the G being, having gratitude for the opportunity that you have. But at the same point of it, like it's a mentality that I don't care if we're throwing the ball running a ball... if you don't have grit and that mentality, you're not gonna have success.

College football realignment has killed the cultural and visual identity of the sport

What I loved about the sport was that a PAC-12 game looked like a PAC-12 game. And then culturally, when you would visit all of these different places, the fan bases were lined in a very conference... It just made sense. Now it feels off. It feels weird. The death of the PAC-12 is sad. It's sad. It is sad.

Nick Saban does not have a great track record for developing quarterbacks

Nick Saban not a great track record when developing quarterbacks. He's not a QB whisperer. They were just like showing Nick Saban as like this wise, like tell all Coach, which he is. But if you were to say one thing about Nick Saban it, that he is not like a quarterback whisperer.

The College World Series Jello shot challenge is officially ruined

What ruined it for me was someone said that they have them prepackaged and people show up and just buy a bunch and then like walk away. And like, that's not in the spirit of the rules. You should have to take the jello shot for it to count.

I'm okay with colleges paying players directly because fans shouldn't have to fund NIL

I think I'm okay with this because I don't think that fans should have to fund these college programs any more than they already do. . . Why isn't, if you keep showing to me that like the Big 10 and the SEC and the ACC keeps signing billion dollar TV rights deals, why can't the players get a little of that?

Greg Sankey should be named the 'Czar' or Commissioner of College Football

The NCAA is useless... Greg Sankey is the most powerful person in college football. So if we want to deem a czar or a commissioner of college football, I'm gonna nominate Greg Sankey because whatever the SEC does... everybody else will follow.

Michigan fans would accept any amount of future sanctions for the 2023 National Title

He just won a national title. He beat Ohio State three years in a row. If you're a Michigan fan, you sign up for that a hundred times out of a hundred. No matter what happens after this. Who cares about sanctions?

Liberty Football's 2.96 GPA is actually good for a team GPA

Liberty Football. They tweeted ... 2.96 cumulative GPA. ... It's actually not terrible for a team. It's really good. ... football team. It's the old, 'I didn't play school'.

The Alabama job is still a top three job but harder than Georgia and Ohio State

I still think [Georgia's] the best job. I think it's easier to recruit to Georgia... Ohio State's probably a better job because the way you dominate that state... Alabama is a little bit harder than those jobs. And Nick Saban made it look easy.

College football is ultimately about who is the best at cheating

I also think this proves that cheaters win, like in the, in the long term, everybody cheats. All right. This is not just Michigan. Every school, every major school in the country, they cheat in certain ways... college football is about who is the best at cheating. And Michigan was really fucking good at cheating.

Michael Penix Jr. has been the most consistent and best player in college football

Nobody in college football has made more big plays than more big moments than Michael Penix has. And Pennix is absolutely amazing right now. And the year he's had, and the things he's done. And, and to me, I mean, maybe he's been the most consistent and best player in college football.

College football needs a commissioner to fix the current chaos

College football right now, it needs a commissioner. It needs a commissioner. And, we need to do this thing the right way... get your 50 or 60 teams, whoever's gonna be in division one, make it more like an NFL league, intertwine your leagues of play a lot more.

Syracuse football is having the best off-season in all of college football

My Cool Throne is my alma mater. Syracuse football. They are having arguably the best off-season in all of college football. Almost... in my book.

Redshirting was the best thing that ever happened to me in college

The best thing that ever happened to me was I redshirted and was able to sit in the meetings and be at practice and run Scout team the year that we won the National Championship in '05 with Vince Young... I've told [Arch Manning], I said the best thing that ever happened to me was Redshirting. I know it's not that cool to do and it sucks, especially in this day and age, but like I'm just telling you, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Florida State deserved to be in the Playoff, but Alabama makes for better TV

Two things can be true at the same time. Florida State deserved to be in the college football playoff. The college football Playoff is better off with Alabama in it. If you asked literally any division one coach, who would you rather play? Florida State or Alabama? I think they would all say they would rather play Florida State.

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.

Michigan is 'America's Team' because they rely on clandestine surveillance

America loves the team that beats the odds, beats the adversity... well they yeah, they do rely on a network of clandestine surveillance to accomplish everything. I can see why that would align with the USA.

The Big 10 is incompetent for suspending Jim Harbaugh before a national title run

The Big 10 was wrong for what they did... if you think that Michigan did something wrong, I'm gonna most likely agree with you... but due process still does matter. It was such a half measure, half-ass thing by the Big 10 that it leaves me with no other conclusion than the Big 10 has no idea what they're doing and they're just trying to save face.

The Texas A&M head coaching position is the worst job in college football

I don't know what Texas A&M does now, because I think that might be the worst job in college football... the expectation is they're so crazy... you have to take that job knowing you're gonna get paid a lot of money and you're probably gonna fail because... the bar that they want to be at is so disconnected from where they are.

Jim Harbaugh didn't know about the sign-stealing execution

I don't think he [Jim Harbaugh] knew. He'll do anything to win, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's gonna be the one to execute everything. He will say, 'Hey guys, we have to do anything. We need to win.' But I don't think he's gonna get down and dirty and do that.

Brock Bowers is better than Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce

I can't believe how good he, like I, I think it could be, he could be better than Kelsey and Gronk... that guy's insane.

The Texas Longhorns should be the number one team in the country

I actually think it should be the Texas Longhorns [at number one].

Lincoln Riley is committing coaching malpractice by never giving Caleb Williams a defense

I think the discussion is, is Lincoln Riley liable for malpractice for having one of the best college quarterbacks maybe of all time if he goes back to back Heisman and Caleb Williams and never having a defense behind him because that defense is so bad.

Penn State is the toughest place to play in the Big 10

I'm gonna go with Penn State... that place... you're kind of like out in this middle of nowhere... and I think two out of the three times I played there was like a whiteout... that's a tough hostile environment to play.

Michigan Stadium is not a hostile environment

The Big House is a historic place, but it's not a very hostile environment. Those fans kind just sit on their hands... it doesn't get very loud compared to a Ohio State or Penn State.

Matt Campbell's coaching success was all due to Brock Purdy

Brock Purdy, so he did miss some big time like shot plays. I though think that Brock Purdy, we should start talking about Brock Purdy's greatness as it relates to Matt Campbell and the meltdown that Matt Campbell's career has had... Maybe it was all Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy deserves more credit for getting Matt Campbell to a point where all these schools were considering hiring him. 'cause since that moment he's done nothing.
