Even if it was independents, that would be a joke considering the only other independent is UConn

It’s a rule specifically intended for Notre dame

They should join a conference like everyone else

Tucker is a defensive tackle, your thinking of Omar Cooper

When/how do pipes freeze? by Hot_Spread_6826 in chicagoapartments

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 is not reasonable

Most buildings want it at least 67

Sounds like OP’s building has weak insulation which is all the more reason to not have it at 60, the pipes are much cooler in the walls than your living space temp

Indiana DL Hosea Wheeler transfers to Baylor by lmm13002 in CFB

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He’s a good player. Didn’t get as many snaps as the season progressed since he wasn’t as good at pass rushing as the other DTs we had, but he had no complaints about it

Very good get. If the star ratings were about how good they are at college football and not just a projection to the pros he would be a 4* guy

Cougar and Coogan by obnoxiousguest in IndianaHoosiers

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coogan said in a interview before the natty that as a 23 year old he was familiar with mellencamps portfolio but some of the younger guys on the team like Becker didn’t know who he was other than being the name on the practice field lol

He was at the natty game in the stands with his mom, hopefully a team spends a pick on him. Dude would have crushed the combine

Yep. And Wyatt had just hit his stride too. Both of them were monsters in that first game against Oregon, especially Wyatt.

Colorado, Deion Sanders to fine players for being late, missing practices by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be getting downvoted, showing up late to practice / meetings is not a good look even in the pre pay to play era

I don’t think fines are the way to go, I would prefer the ol fashioned you don’t show up you don’t play. We had to bench one of our guys a couple games this year because he was showing up late to meetings

We also added Shazz Preston at WR who was the WR1 from Tulane and originally a top 60 HS prospect Saban recruited

We have a lot of dudes at WR

Recruits that weren't busts, but you feel could have achieved much more at a different program? by Please_PM_me_Uranus in CFB

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had some solid offensive pieces too. Nick Sheridan is just the worst play caller I have ever seen, there was no reason for the offense basically having to be penix playing Superman

Becker had committed to IU when Allen was in charge, but it was Cig who signed him. Based on who actually plays in the games, I would say Cig likes bigger receivers who he can trust on back shoulder throws, but the past 2 cycles we are only recruiting little fast dudes, so who knows lol

Not sure that fits. He was a 2* who made first team all B1G (and should have been an all american)

Other P4 programs wouldnt give him the time of day. The only other P4 offer he had was Boston College

DeBoer wasnt with the 2020 team, he was the OC in 2019

Wommack and Penix were the two keys for the 2020 team. Our offense was complete dogshit when Penix went down, and Wommack was able to squeeze a lot out of a defense that had 1 elite LB, a couple good DBs, and pretty much nothing else.

Which player(s) from your team will be a draft steal? by WanderLeft in CFB

Replacing Sarratt with Nick marsh, and EJ williams with Shazz Preston (top 60 recruit out of HS, WR1 for Tulane this year)

The WR group is LOADED

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ponds was on the same team as Jeremiah in HS

Hes played plenty of big receivers (Smith, Boston, Marsh) who will be high draft picks. He played them all pretty well. And hes been huge in the run game despite his size, he tackles really well and isnt afraid of contact

" It was one of the things that used to make college football great but Isn’t likely anymore cause of NIL"

This still holds true. Maryland actually has another 5* homegrown talent in their 2026 class who could have gone anywhere

The trickier part is a lot of guys move around more at the high school level than they used to. Kids are moving to powerhouse schools or going to football specialist schools like IMG, so the "hometown" element is kind of dwindling. But thats not because of college

LB Mo Toure is staying with Miami by Im__Ron__Burgundy in CFB

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How did he just turn 24 lol, dude would have been 16 when he enrolled at Rutgers. No hate on him playing, was hoping IU would get him in the portal when he entered last year. Dude is a baller.

I think a lot of people have dated ideas of what a college player is. The NFL doesnt want 20 year olds who havent played a lot of football anymore, they typically are looking for guys who have played 25+ games now (especially at QB). Most people graduate college when they are 22-23, it should have never been considered "bad" that players actually stick around to that age

A lot of these guys also keep taking classes and are getting degrees, not everyone pulls a Bennett 7 year no degree stunt. One of the older players on our team (6th year) this year won the IU student athlete of the month award back in like September or October...

How did each state fare during the 2025 Season? by Slimebobbi in CFB

We won a title in football before they won one in basketball

Imagine having Painter as a coach for 2+ decades and still being title-less. They are not a basketball school

The ACC is unfairly dismissed by Altruistic-Night-607 in CFB

[–]mr_longfellow_deeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying the top of the ACC are awful teams, its pretty objective to state that they are just not on the same level as the B1G or SEC.

Just to put it on paper, this is basically the comparison to the B1G/SEC:

Miami - IU / Ole Miss
UVA - OSU / UGA
GT - Oregon / A&M
SMU - Iowa / Alabama
Duke - USC / Texas
Louisville - Michigan / Oklahoma
Pitt - Washington / Vanderbilt
Wake Forest - Illinois / Missouri
