The greatest coach in NFL history took a college job. The idea was that his schematic superiority and legendary discipline would instantly outclass unsophisticated opponents in a second-tier sport.

and then...
he lost his first game...
BY THIRTY FOUR POINTS

They hired Bill Belichick for THIS?!?!?

Is this your GOAT? (Plus, Arch Manning, calling Paul Finebaum, and the highlight that made me change my national championship pick.)

Gotta wonder when the last time anybody scored a TD this way. Used to happen sometimes when the snappers were part-timers and the holders were QBs but now you’ve got dedicated snappers so every snap is perfect and you have a punter back there who can’t throw as well

hold up it looked live like Arizona recovered a game-sealing fumble, their players were celebrating with the ball etc., then the refs said BYU recovered the fumble, and now they're on offense and we still haven't seen any replays where BYU recovered the fumble

In 2025 Indiana is a virtual lock for the Big Ten title game and College Football Playoff

In 2021 the most exciting thing about Indiana football was the prospect that everybody would take their shirts off and jump around the completely empty upper deck while losing by 3 scores to Rutgers

more like Luke Fickle because his tenure at Wisconsin is marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability

My buddy bought a breathalyzer in college and if someone blew over a .25 it just displayed an H for “Hospital”
