Narrative wise Notre Dame’s schedule would be looked at differently if it were at #16 Michigan instead of at #14 BYU, home #7 Miami and home #20 Tennessee instead of home #19 SMU.

[Pete Sampson @PeteSampson_]

This feels like a Mad Libs.

Notre Dame should play in Bloomington twice because (reason).

Not in a conference
Has a metallic helmet
Skipped a bowl game
Has a head coach who can bench 225
Has its own TV network
Already beat Indiana

The logic works the same for all rationales!

This is actually really good for Indiana fans. They don’t have to choose between rooting for their favorite football team and rooting for Indiana

@JonCarroll03 I won’t let this slide. We know who the real Chairman is.

I saw this in Dabo’s office earlier today.

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

“We lost three games by 11 (total) points. We lost two games on the last play of the game. We’re 151-7 all the way back to 2010 in games where we lead in the 4th quarter. Two of those seven were last year.”

“We didn’t win the close games, we didn’t finish in the 4th quarter.”

Dan is right.

"If you want to be treated as a serious league, this is what happens! These are tough questions, but this is a fair outlet for you – a fair platform. I will treat you with respect."

😂😂 that is A LOT of typing to say nothing

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that.

But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge.

When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable.

There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.

Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.

But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision.

If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient?

If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program.

Accountability and loyalty are not opposites.

You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts.

That is the hard part of family.

You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth.

Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message.

And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.

Really great to see Thieneman go from one of the worst tackling performances you’ll ever see to the best tackler in years.

Buy a flamethrower for $500

Charge $1,000 to clear each driveway

Clear 3,000 driveways per day (each one takes 5 seconds)

That’s $9 million per year

Why aren’t you doing this?
