Depends on how much dough they offer him, money talks does it not, look at the salaries in ML.....................
I don’t think Manning thus far cares about nil, he gives his away as a donation. My nil comment was more about unc in general. ACC school with more money put in basketball is a tough nut to crack. Mack Brown is arguably a fantastic coach and had trouble entire second stint there recruiting. I am surprised he took the job at 72.
Not bad. Going to be an interesting finish. My next goal is to send Dumbo packing, that will be extraordinarily satisfying.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in his heyday! Great guy, if I remember correctly, pretty soft spoken, just generally nice. Took a lot of time to talk to a Freshman college kid from another school! (It may have helped that the meeting occurred in Coach Bowden's office with a very prominent FSU Golden Chief
One neat thing I will always remember!

I guess winning the Heisman takes you to the front of the line!. (just kidding/being funny).
Congrats, it is quite an accomplishment and puts you in with some elite folks!! I got lucky and was able to witness "big time" college football first hand from the sidelines, I wish I was good enough to continue playing! I had an opportunity to be a grad assistant as I always thought I wanted to coach. Maybe I should have! Instead, I took the CPA route, although I lasted in taxes for about less than 5 years, too boring. I still do my own, but that is about it. Life is interesting in hindsight as you come to many crossroads and never really know how its going to turn out.Yes he seems to be a genuinely nice guy. I enjoyed talking to him that night. I'm a good bit older than Charlie and I'm surprised it took the HOF committee so long to recognize my accomplishments and to why he got in so many years ahead of me even though I'm older.
I agree that all the home teams will likely roll. SMU might give Penn St a game, but the others should be blowouts. College football can be wildly unpredictable, though. Add in the layoff and transfer portal into the mix and anything is possible. It does give me a laugh that the commentators are suggesting the cold in South Bend gives ND an advantage. They are playing Indiana whose school is only a couple hundred miles away and from a similar climate.
George:
The atmosphere in the stadium was pretty cool, people were amped up, when the Indiana QB threw that INT deep in Notre Dame territory early on and on the next play the Notre Dame RB ripped off a 98 yard TD run, that was pretty much that.
Speaking personally, my son flew back to Austin yesterday and their student section should be near sold out. There were a few tickets overall left but not great seats as I thought about it myself. It was 85 in Austin when I left Wednesday! To be honest, I darn near cried when I landed in Maryland to this shiite weather. I hate the cold.
Expanding the field to 12 teams; check.
I am not sure what to think, this weekend seemed like another day in College FB this year. OSU looked real good, now do they go out and lay an egg at Oregon, very possible. There was the 2nd qtr tonight where they reverted. Texas after Clemson's first drive turned it into a scrimmage until.................Missed Pass INT gives Clemson the ball, Ewers misses an easy 4th down, Sark goes on 4th down , etc. Texas was inconsistent today, that is not going to win it all. Penn State looked for real..........as they should against an overmatched SMU. Notre Dame beat I guess its official, a pretender. Point being, 10 days from now, could see a whole different outcome. I am not sure what to expect. I believe Penn State, Texas and Georgia should advance......................unless their inconsistencies cause a failure. OSU/Oregon to me is a pick em.
