I think us having the 'Freeze Four' is a big reason we could not get the 'Freeze Five'.

I wonder who they are.

It certainly seemed to be a better team last night. We all could tell there was more enthusiasm, which is great everybody loves that. The game planning and scheme seemed much better on both sides of the ball. I'm not an X's and O's type of fan, I watch and have fun or I watch and get mad. I would like to hear from the more football savy members of AUFamily. What did ya'll see that was different last night? What kind of adjustments were made? An X's and O's thread might be popular.

I wasn't thinking Finley should play over Ashford. If Finley isn't ready to go and can't back Ashford up in case Ashford gets hurt running around, then Ashford should not get any QB run plays. If he has to bail out of the pocket that's fine, just no QB runs.

Starting at about the two minute mark Mike G makes some interesting comments about how things were supposed to go concerning the hiring of Austin Davis.

If Finley is available that may free up Ashford to use his legs more.

Ashford made some nice throws. When Finley gets healthy Ashford will have more liberty to run. Right now he can't use his legs(big weapon) too much because we don't have a good backup.

I am watching on YouTube as well.

I have said from the beginning that NIL is a bad idea and will become what it is becoming, and that is pay for play where the haves will smash the have nots. Mr. Woltosz does make one good point. Most of these kids will never make it to the pros, this will be the only chance for most of them to make some (10s of thousands maybe) money playing football.

Uhh...both. Wasn't that the problem? His inconsistency.

Rather than focusing on wins and recruiting rankings how about wanting a well coached team where the players know their assignments and execute those assignments to the best of their ability and a game plan that gives our team the best chance of winning. If we get those things everything else will work out.

No one may have anticipated the exact development of the NIL collective. Anyone that didn't know this would turn into pay for play is extremely naive. I thought the NCAA fought NIL to the bitter end. Once California made it legal, there was not much the NCAA could do after that.

This situation is like many other situations in life. People believe what they want to believe.

Are you saying there is a part of this site for donors? I’ve donated, how do I find that part of the site?

No

All I can get is SECN+ and ESPN+ ESPN+ wants 6.99 a month.

I just heard UAT QB already has nearly one million in endorsement deals. Do you think they will ever have anything but the best QBs available on their roster? On the bright side, when we lose to them (it won't bother me like it used to) I can console myself thinking you get what you pay for. It was mostly that way before NIL, but now it's out in the open. When do we get a salary cap for college sports?

Mikey is exactly right. College football is about who can pay the most now. No more loving the team because the players chose your school. The best players are going to go to the schools where they have the potential to make the most money. It's basically pro football now.

I hate Danielson

Damn that's good!
