ISU was confronted with the greatest fear today to teach us folks some gratitude. More nodding less talking will be the key going foward, and get Randy off the ISU beat.
I'm an Irish fan who has always hated BK but this isn't something that surprises me with any coach. What do you expect them to say? At the end of the day, no matter what kind of relationships you've built, it's about your own personal interests. You think Swarbrick wants him around on campus? Nah, get him down to Louisiana and outta South Bend. It's time to move on.
This is my understanding. G10 was used this year for staff parking or something, I wasn't clear what. At the beginning of the year it seemed mostly empty, but I thought they were more cars parked there toward the end of the season that looked like regular football fans. But I could definitely be wrong on that.
I'm not certain, but I think most of us G7ers are headed for the far north lots, just to the south of (and perhaps north of) Hilton. At least for now until they build this entertainment district and we get displaced again.
I think the previous report was he was seen driving away 11 minutes later. It could have taken him the extra 9 minutes to grab his box of personal items and get to his car.
I'd love that if it's true but I think it's more likely they told him no
Good hopefully it inspires him even more [if thats possible].
Man this just feels like a symbolic example of what this sport has really come to. We’ve know the nature of the sport has really transitioned as the cash started to flow in, but at first it was only evident at microscopic levels.
No more regional emphasis on conference programs and abandoning historic rivalries. I suppose this mostly just hurt the fans and their ability to travel.
Then players started skipping bowls (which I’m sure most can understand for the viability of the individuals’ career paths), next we introduced NIL (which, again, I’m sure most agree was the right move) way too late in the game, and all of that combined with realignment led the top dogs to try and consolidate their cash cows to the same field and leave the rest out to pasture. Here we’re starting to see athletic departments and programs impacted.
Now we have coaches leaving before we’ve even see the conference championship games played?! And for what, absurd amounts of money. The same people who champion raising athletes from students to men, and they can’t even give their players the decency of 15 minutes or a more formal departure. Imagine the teammates left behind while several enter the transfer portals, while prospects decommit just a week or two before signing.
I know this is very doom and gloom view but college football isn’t even a shell of what it was 15 years ago. For better or for worse. Now fans and schools just have to cling on and hope their administration and programs can continue to tread through the next wave of ****.

Why don't I believe that Dodd's tweet is completely factual? Does he really know that? I have so many sources (none any of you would feel worthy of hearing of course) that are pointing to Campbell as a frontrunner/ or even done deal. Dang, I hope they're all wrong.
Completely factual? No. What he's hearing from his sources? Sure.
But you have to put this is proper context. The bar for "journalism" in sports media is incredibly low, far lower than in traditional news media. News reporters would never get to speculate this wildly or throw all this stuff out without naming or at least characterizing their sources. But it's par for the course in a coaching search.
On the other hand, this isn't national security we're talking about here. The stakes are pretty low, so nobody demands much more than that out of sports reporters.
I mean for all we know, the 'waiting on Fickell' stuff' could be smokescreen while they get the real choice in place and make it look like they took their time to 'meet their characteristics' the AD preached about this morning. Agonizing. Let's put it this way, we have silence from our head coach. So, to me, he's very much a possibility, and I don't mean just 'on the list'.
Sorry in advance.....I know, I need to go take a walk.

Has CMC ever been all that transparent about this kind of stuff?
I know it isn't likely, but I would love to see Gary Patterson be the DC at LSU next year. The types of recruits LSU pulls in and the 4-2-5 would be fun to watch.
