Disagree. Talent is by far and away the most valuable asset in CFB. Ill take elite talent and avg coaching over elite coaches and avg talent every day
Coaching & scheme are more important than team talent. Success starts with making the right hires. Kenny Dillingham & Will Stein were home run hires at OC. Mehringer didn’t work out. Good on Lanning for recognizing a change needed to be made.

Yet another "This is an ADHD thing" that is really just a human condition thing. So tiresome.
WAIT WAIT WAIT — SO APPARENTLY WHEN YOU (OR YOUR KID) ARE ABOUT TO DO A CHORE, AND SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO DO IT, YOUR BRAIN AUTOMATICALLY REFUSES JUST BECAUSE THEY ASKED?? Yes, and it actually has a clinical name:

When I was in teacher's college, we were taught *not* to teach like this, that it was too old-fashioned and teacher-centred and didn't allow for enough student inquiry. The pendulum has now swung back in most places, thank goodness, and many kids are now getting this kind of high-quality phonics instruction, but we did a whole lot of harm for decades by listening to the people we called experts back then, apparently without good reason.
As an adult, I want to attend this school so badly.

100% this. That suffering is fundamental to human life is a fundamental tenet of basically every traditional religion or proverbial wisdom tradition. Somehow modernity (w/help from sanitized lives of others via media) has persuaded us otherwise & that our suffering is unique.
So much damage is done by the idea that there is a majority of people for whom life is straightforward. The world was designed for them, they effortlessly comply with societal demands and get over their life stresses easily. They never wonder whether there is something different about them, or criticise themselves for minor failings. They sail through school and work. They have meaningful relationships with only transient conflict. Their emotions are manageable and in proportion. They are round pegs in round holes. The neurotypical Some people look like this from the outside. Hardly anyone reports being like this from the inside. Yet more and more books and training programmes promote the idea that if you’re not like this, you must be neurodivergent. Wired differently. We have pathologised the human condition.

Positives of the #NCState job 1 Raleigh-Durham is one of the best places to live in the country along with Nashville, Scottsdale & Tampa 2 The population boom has increased the local talent big time 3 Solid facilities 4 Passionate fan base 5 Strong QB history Keys 1 Increase the NIL - make this hire something the alums & boosters are excited about 2 Area recruit North Carolina!!! Also you have access to South Carolina, south Georgia, 757 and south Florida with a history of getting dudes from there 3 Hire a coaching & Personnal staff that loves relationships & communication for recruiting. I just went through 28 schools in 6 days in the Carolina’s. And only one NCState staffer Joker Phillips was mentioned by the 75+ recruits I interviewed in the next 3 cycles. This staff was fired because they led the country in low care & time off. YOU have to CARE! 4 Run a 4 man front on defense! You’re in D-Line Heaven. Where the key position is mass produced! Take advantage of the geography.
NCState Coaching Hot Board Candidates From my annual Hot Seats this summer For #NCState I had… Top 3 1 Philip Rivers, Fairhope, Ala./St Michael Catholic HS HC/NC State legend 2 Mike Shanahan, Indiana OC 3 Brian Hartline, USF HC auburnundercover.com/forums/…

Yes, the world is considerably better in 2026 than in 1985, 1995, 2005, or even 2015. And lots of people in each of those years thought there wouldn't be a world worth living in by this point. Lots of problems, but still better. Recognizing that alone should help lots of people.
Replying to @Riemerville
Before commenting, please acknowledge the reality we’re living in 2026 is NOT 1985, 1995, 2005, or even 2015. The world has changed dramatically, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone If we can agree on that, we can start having meaningful conversations

Scott Frost really beat the No. 2 team in the country while back at UCF before Matt Rhule beat a single AP top 25 opponent at Nebraska. This sport is hilarious.

..."happy wife, happy life" isn't a glib saying to justify our allowing our wife to browbeat us into whatever she wants...rather, it describes the joy we derive from seeing our beloved wife happy...it's one of major things we live for...

TBH, it's hard to see a world in which NCSU finds its way into a Power 2 scenario. The only way NC State doesn't become a mid major is if we see a breakaway superconference situation (basically a new top division) with 44+ teams & totally reconfigured conferences
I have to believe that Kevin Howell realizes how important it is for State to be relevant in sports especially in football and basketball the next few years. If State is not relevant, State will get passed by with conference realignments and we will become a mid major.

Woooooow. Didn't expect that this season, even though I expected it to be a rough year for NCSU from the start.

Pat doesn’t get to be that over-the-top guy and be so thin-skinned. You either own it or stop doing it.
Pat McAfee: "New York Times always saying it! 'This a**hole is shirtless at 9:02 a.m. Eastern!' Sorry, Coach. I'm ruining the whole sport; I'm ruining the whole sport because of this."

This is a great example on why you shouldn't use power ratings for playoff selection because everything he says is correct, but the results on the field have to matter. I have BYU just outside the top 10 of power ratings BUT they are 1st in my resume score after their ND win.
Replying to @spshoot
@spshoot loves UCF +6.5 over BYU "BYU is not a Top 10 team, guys. Not yet. They had a great win. And we applaud that win. But they were still 11-point dogs... at home."

This. Is. Hilarious. See like jokes like this aren’t offensive because it is creatively hilarious
My wife’s theory is that White basketball players are at a disadvantage because all the shoe squeaks are really loud and disruptive, but to a black basketball player, they just sound like smoke alarm chirps (imperceptible). Thoughts?

How do we find #CFB quarterbacks who will turn into solid #NFL starters? By looking at 20+ production variables, then adjusting for both strength of schedule & schematic tendencies. Trying something new here with a video breakdown for you. Hope you enjoy!

Soft, urgent whisper: Do YOU have compromising photos stored in the cloud? How about your internet bookmarks, are they all ones that you’d be happy for your grandmother AND employer to know about? And your DMs on social media, would any of them be embarrassing if they were made public? Cool, cool… oh, what about your [REDACTED] searches? 😬🫢🥶😩 Disclaimer: I have *none of these problems* because I have been worried about this eventuality since the late 90s. (Welcome to my world. It brings me no pleasure to inform you that some of my fears are probably becoming a reality.)
Delete your search history, delete your bookmarks, delete your reddit, medical records, 12 yr old tumblr, delete everything. Every photo on the cloud, every message on every platform. None of it is safe. It will all become public in the next year Local storage and compute 📈

taps the "conferences are just scheduling arrangements between independents" sign
Ditching conference title games almost erases the meaning of conference titles, and they really do become simply groups with pooled media rights. If that's all they are, why wouldn't Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, etc., eventually go indie or form their own/smaller groups?

Bruh...
A magazine-fed bow. Suddenly I'm a lot more interested in archery. No background check, no registration, no waiting period, because it isn't a firearm. Democrats can't stand that sentence. California Rep. Kevin Mullin already has a federal bill to reclassify high-powered airguns as firearms so the gun rules can reach them. That's the playbook. When the law can't touch something, Democrats change what the word "gun" means. Watch the engineering here and ask yourself how long before they come for this one.

And to put Ashton Daniels' season into perspective... Jordan Travis had a MUCH better roster, an elite defense, and protected the football far better in 2023. Travis finished with 27 total TDs. Daniels already has 23 through 7 games, averaging 3.29 TDs per game to JT's 2.45. He's on pace for nearly 40.
Jordan Travis before Norvell 79 passing yards, 0 passing TDs in 2019. Under Norvell 3,214 yards, 24 passing TDs in 2022. ACC Player of the Year in 2023. So Travis attracted the talent but norvell gets zero credit for player development?
