2025 College Football Thread

Big Ten Recap.  Some great results for Marquette's cause.

Michigan 21 Purdue 16: Barry Odom made Purdue semi-competent again.  Coach of the Year, imo.

USC 21 Nebraska 17:  Matt Rhule's record against ranked teams did not improve.

Indiana 55 Maryland 10:  Good teams beat bad teams.  Great teams hamblast bad teams.

Minnesota 23 Michigan State 20:  Spartan fans looking for a coach who will cover up rapes and win games because the current guy doesn't have rapists or wins games.

Ohio State 38 Penn State 14:  I'm old enough to remember when Ohio State had questions at QB.  Kid might win the Heisman.

Illinois 35 Rutgers 13:  Give Bert this, another bowl season for Illinois.  Only 2nd time since 1992 they've made bowls in back-to-back seasons.

Mario Cristobal and Carson Beck deserve each other.

Congrats to the Hausers.

Hugh Freeze fired by Auburn.
Nobody saw this ending poorly.

Does Bruce Pearl have another son?

I wonder if they money the Miami collective gave the one Cavender who was dating Beck to stay together until Beck signed can be taken back

Cavender, or Cadaver?

Cavender, or Cadaver?

No, the latter is Miami's playoff hopes.

Beck turning into a pumpkin just in time for Halloween is f-ing brutal. 3 TDs to 6 INTs and a QBR under 75 in each of the last 3 games is $4MM well spent.  Also, I like Cristobal, but he can't coach a disciplined team to save his life.

Not surprised to see this Mario Cristobal team perform like every other Mario Cristobal team.

As for Beck, this is kind of who he is.

It might as well be because anyone paying to watch Bucky is getting f--ked.

I'm not here to kink shame But I think that might be illegal in wisconsin.

Auburn has named DJ Durkin its interim coach and says he'll be considered for the full-time job.
Apparently running players to death, literally, is not a dealbreaker.

He spent time at ND and then was an Urban Meyer disciple...sociopathic disregard for underlings during practice is part of the ethos.

But even more of a bad look, Durkin wasn't even a good coach at Maryland before the scandal unlike some of the guys who got second big gigs. And then got pushed out for underperformance at Ole Miss and A&M.  Def a good look for Auburn after squeaky clean Hugh

In would be shocked if they end up with him. It's just something to say to keep everyone motivated.

I'm sure you're right, but why even suggest it? I don't think the team is going to be more motivated to go win for Durkin. Half of the roster, conservatively, is already lining up portal visits.

That said, Durkin has done a good job with that defense, which has kept them in every game while Hugh's offense floundered.

One of Cam Netwon's hat would do a better job of motivating the team.
