Re: Conference Realignment


in 2030 this all breaks off and the GOR kicks in. The top 24 x 2 teams will have their own super FBS league and mega TV deals. Pretty much Big 10/SEC and just the top of the other P4's and Notre Dame. so 48 teams and they will have their own playoff just like the NFL. then the remaining 80 or 90 ...

LOL, I was making no such assumption, but yes that would be nice!

He will be 67...and so would be sufficiently devalued by that point that the fit would be appropriate - maybe even sooner than this.

In the Early Days of Youtube, I used to watch a ...

Re: What will it take in 2026?

That guy was a 4-year OC at an FBS program fairly recently? Could have fooled me.

Also, I am watching the Snoop Dog Bowl, featuring Miami-OH - it should be The Power and Class of New England playing Snoop tracks during this halftime show, not stupid Miami-OH! Yet ANOTHER way that Bamford deprives ...

Re: Head Coach Search 2024

Add this to the list of Bamford's failings -

Even if you catch lightning in a bottle and hire a great head coach (first HC; then JMU), you, programmatically, have to start planning for when they would leave, and thusly to keep the pipeline going.

Holy Cross went from 7-4 (including 2 FBS losses ...

Kent State

Per ESPN:

"Kent State fielded one of the worst teams imaginable in 2024, and that's not an exaggeration: Since the FBS/FCS split in the late 1970s (and not including the incomplete 2020 season), the only teams that graded out worse than last year's Golden Flashes are 2021 UMass, 2019 UMass and 2006 ...

Re: Game 12, 2025: Bowling Green (11/25)

Thinking back to my own huge failing in assuming that they should have been able to win 4 games this year relatively easily - I guess I assumed that they had recruited (roughly) the same caliber of player as other MAC programs, based on comparable NIL and 'prestige' (or lack thereof, since it's the ...

Re: Game 12, 2025: Bowling Green (11/25)

Well on their way to being worst FBS team (single-season) of at least this century. But, the sun will rise tomorrow, and Bamford will get out of bed, stretch, scratch his butt, and know that his job remains safe.

Turns out actions do 'not' have consequences when the activity you are in charge of ...

Re: 2026 Season

If UConn can do it, then UMass can do it 2x. Schools were equal(ly bad) as recently as three years ago. Anything else is excuses and overanalysis.

Today, God allowed the team to save-scum 100 times and they still didnt win any of them, at which point God said "well, at least i will save the outcome where you cover the spread!"

Was bamford fired today? There's no media that covers the team so I'm not sure. I will assume he was unless proven otherwise.
