We need Leach to hang on, his insights on fat girlfriends and Halloween candy is too important to lose.

I'm happy UConn's bowl is not ranked last.
I have an aunt & uncle in Myrtle Beach, maybe I can visit and convince them to go to the 39th best bowl game with me!

This one hurts...
Great personality. Up there with Mouse Davis & June Jones as one of the most revolutionary advancers of the passing game in the last 30 years IMO. While others have coached and used the Air Raid, none have done it quite the same as Leach to where he'd willingly throw it 80% in a game if he could get away with it.
Basically gave us at least 5 core plays we see in CFB/NFL with Mesh, Shallow Cross (and its variants), Y Stick, Y Sail, and the Option/Jerk Route for the slot WR.

New Year's will get the attention but Monday's a deep slate... Mississippi State playing post-passing of Mike Leach; Tulane/USC going head to head; LSU/Purdue; then #11 Penn State takes on #8 Utah who have knocked off big-name programs consistently over the last several years.

Michigan has been getting ripped whenever they blitz and they just won't stop.
I don't want to get into the refs, Michigan just had a poor gameplan and the players made uncharacteristic mistakes. They'll be in the hunt next year, but you don't get these types of chances often.

Iowa shutting out Kentucky led to this fun stat find: "The Hawkeyes recorded the first bowl shutout since 2019 and the first for a Big Ten team since 1999."
CB Tayvion Beasley & OG Tyrion Brown are following Deion from Jackson State to Colorado. Deion also gets DL Leonard Payne, transferring from Fresno State and OG/C Landon Babee from Missouri State.
For 909, OT Michael Tarquin is jumping from Florida to USC.

Boners, and farts.
Michigan getting that touchdown wrongly removed didn’t seem like such a big deal when they were getting beaten on. But damn if that wouldn’t have made the difference. TCU looked great though. Was surprised to see them storming out the gate like that.
I was in bed before the other game ended. Shocked Georgia didn’t win by double digits.

USC is also getting Xavier Worthy from Texas, IIRC.

Deion lands No. 1 CB as McClain flips to Colorado
Cormani McClain, a five-star cornerback and the No. 4 overall prospect in his class, announced he has flipped from Miami to Colorado, giving coach Deion Sanders his first five-star prospect as Buffaloes coach.
Dude where are all the people that said recruits wouldn’t trust him now? The Prime Effect is in full force.
They have the #1 CB's from the last two recruiting classes, those guys are almost always great players. But if they don't do something about their run defense teams are gonna run for 400 yards against them constantly.

Timmy Chang's come out and said that Hawai'i is going "all in" on transitioning back to the Run & Shoot offense. It makes sense as it's what their identity is as a school, the HC knows the offense, etc. but (like Rolovich) it's fair to wonder why they tried to hide behind the excuse that it takes a year+ to install and basically wasted their 1st year as HC implementing an offense that struggled instead of going with what they knew best.

Crazy turnover going on in Colorado... A lot of them are being told to do so by Sanders. Not a real surprise given Sanders' heavy leaning on the transfer portal but like with most college programs, I think you really have to create a bedrock foundation through your geographical location and utilize that as a draw. Players coming in from out of state may be more talented but aren't beholden to the school compared to a kid whose father or grandfather attended Colorado and want to follow in his footsteps or a kid who grew up watching Colorado football their whole lives.
theathletic.com
"A total of 51 Buffaloes have entered or said they plan to since the portal first opened in December – 46 since Sanders took over Dec. 2. No other program has lost more than 29 players."
"Gray said he was offered a chance to keep his scholarship and not play football and hadn’t heard from any teammates who had not been given that offer. “All the players who entered the transfer portal, we want to play football,” Gray said."
"Casey Roddick, one of the team’s leaders last season and its best offensive lineman, landed at Florida State and joined the Seminoles before spring after starting 30 games and playing in 42 for the Buffaloes. Cornerback Kaylin Moore started 14 games and committed to Cal after entering the transfer portal.
Other Buffaloes have landed at Boise State (WR Chase Perry), Charlotte (OL Austin Johnson), and Southern Illinois (OL Noah Fenske). A trio of quarterbacks — J.T. Shrout, Owen McCown, and Maddox Kopp — ended up signing with Arkansas State, UTSA, and Miami (Ohio), respectively."
The personal fallout from Deion Sanders' unprecedented roster flip at Colorado
Most of the 23 Colorado players who entered the transfer portal or announced plans to on Monday and Tuesday were told to do so, players say.

Call me a hater or whatever, but I hope Deion fucking fails at every step while at Colorado. I don't think we'll ever know the full, 100% truth of what happened at Jackson State, but I believe he completely used them to get his foot into a D1 program.
I'm not religious in any sense, but dude has to be one of the most special humans on Earth for how much God apparently personality "calls" Deion to do shit.

It's hard to blame Deion when everybody and their Mom knew he was using Jackson State as a launching pad for a D1 school. I feel like the Jackson State program/administration deserves more of the blame knowing what they were walking into and knowing it would be a brief boost to the program at the expense of the long-term gain.
I kind of got that same vibe from Ed Reed when he was named HC at Bethune-Cookman. While he told the truth about the poor facilities, that's something you don't do publicly as a HC. They ended up hiring Raymond Woodie Jr as their HC who was a '96 graduate and had been an assistant coach at multiple D1 programs in Florida.
