With billions at stake for College Football Programs…IMHO the NCAA is clearly outmatched FINANCIALLY by financially backed college football programs. The NCAA cannot pay for high priced attorneys who have the time and financial resources to challenge NCAA rulings. Tell me—how can the NCAA even compete??

NCAA needs better lawyers who can go head to head against high priced attorneys funded by Billionaires (ie Campbell). So far, NCAA legal team has been toothless against challenges from high priced attorneys representing college football programs

Personally I am not worried about recruitment rankings. NIL and the portal has been a massive game changer. Indiana won the Natty using more mature recruits taken from the portal with less NIL $$$.(but I think in future this will be harder for Cignetti to replicate every year) Sark and his team will recruit based on THEIR evaluations of high school recruits regardless of how they rank nationally. Any other needs for key positions will be filled through the portal. So team recruitment rankings aren’t really that important IMHO

As if LSU didn’t have enough clickbait material with Kiffin. However, Kiffin needed an answer to Sark’s hiring of Muschamp and recruiting. Ogeron seems to be his answer. (Wasn’t there a general consensus during Arch’s recruitment, that the Mannings didn’t like LSU largely because of Ogeron…?) Texas at LSU this CFB season just got more interesting.

By the way—one of your segments featured Gary Patterson and what he’s been up to. And one of the Mods suggested He would be great as DC in a place like USC…well I think USC listens to OTF—because I just saw a reference to GP’s name added as USC’s new DC on X.

Enjoy coffee n football length especially when getting ready in the morning. During the day would appreciate much shorter segments (no more than 15 minutes? Since I don’t have much free time during the day to listen) after hours—the longer segments with Rod, Coach Shipley, CJ , and Jeff are pretty entertaining.

I don’t know…maybe because of how the 2023 CFP ended with Michigan* perfect season as National Champion , Indiana’s 2025 season seems just too perfect also. I admit to a fair amount of skepticism, but if Indiana was able to cheat the system fairly, then good on them. Congratulations

Note sure if anyone posted this… Johntay Cook has committed to Ol’ Miss.

On a day like today (Sunday January 11,2026) it’s worth mentioning: Alabama, smarting from their loss to Texas in men’s Basketball…today lost their high prospect in Cam Coleman to Texas…and 45 minutes later Alabama lost their high end RB Hollywood Smothers to Texas. (I know how they feel…like 2 yrs ago it seemed Oregon was taking all Texas high prospects/commits)

OMG. I genuinely thought you were a ducks fan. Seriously! If it quacks like a duck…you know how the rest goes

Regarding Indiana and their lack of 5 star athletes and the least amount of 4 stars in the playoffs: Gerry has said many times that stars vary across the board and shouldn’t mean as much as true evaluations . Unless I misquoted Gerry, I tend to believe Gerry’s statement. Give him a corn dog with mayo!

I agree…among the schools vying for Coleman, Only Arch has proven to be the most complete QB-Plysically, mentally elite

Whoever started the DK Moore to the portal narrative…I salute you for ruining my sleep this weekend

Justice Haynes is Longhorn stalking. Let’s see how much $$$ Michigan offers him to keep him from going to Texas…

Justice Haynes is Longhorn Stalking. Because he’s only publicized his “intent” to enter the portal. Let’s see how much$$ Michigan ponies up to try to keep him from Texas. And then Haynes suddenly withdraws his intent to enter the portal. (I’m learning the smoke and mirrors of the portal)

Ty Simpson is going to the NFL. What does this mean for Coleman’s visit to Alabama???

Husband just accused me of being addicted to “Portal House Steak” 😂😂🤣🤣

I like Portal KOMBAT

I say wait to see who enters to portal after the CFP. We can forget Indiana-most will be out of eligibility. Otherwise, let’s see what pans out…

Any word on where Trey Owen’s may be going??

For Bobby: “The Stalking Longhorn “ (instead of the stalking horse)

I had to look up Bobby’s reference to Texas as a “Stalking Horse”. very Appropriate. i’d like to make a small correction to the term: Texas is a “Stalking Longhorn”

But…Jordan Washington is now considering going to the portal…

I trust Sark’s evaluations and valuations of each player.

Praying for the entire Shipley family. Wishing Jordan a speedy recovery.
