Wake me up once this shit’s over. Excited to see and cheer for the guys who actually wants to wear black and gold.
The fact that freaking long snappers are being shopped in the portal is beyond me. If that doesn’t prove how broken this has become.
Wild to think a few hundred or thousand kids just voluntarily ended their football playing careers. Crazy and sad at the same time
Portal time 25-26

Re: Portal time 25-26
Like to see us go after Beau Brungard from Youngstown St 6’0 215 threw for 3200 and ran for 1400 and he’s a jr……. good arm and knows how to maximize the run pass threat. There are a few dual threats in D2 not as good as kid from Youngstown tho.

Re: Portal time 25-26
It's getting harder and harder to see the point of any of this. You recruit a player and he has a good freshman season, then he's immediately gone for more money. You recruit a player and he has to sit as a freshman, then he's immediately gone because he didn't get to play. You get a player in the transfer portal who has a good year, then he's immediately gone for more money. You get a player in the transfer portal who doesn't really get to play much, then he's immediately gone to go somewhere else to play. There is no way to build a team over several years anymore. It's an entire new roster every year and it's just absolutely pointless. It's really sad after all these years of success, but I think I'm done. They ruined all of college sports.

If only those with the power to fix things cared.
Give kids 1 free transfer, after that you sit a year or 6 games or something. Kids playing 6 years at 6 schools is so comical and stupid.

Re: Portal time 25-26
It's really hard to be a dedicated fan that financially supports a program these days. I think we all recognize the only way to be successful is for fans to pour money into NIL/Rev Share, but what incentive is there to give to these players that will leave as quickly as possible? The only motivation to give is hoping it will all come together for a single season while knowing the staff will have to rebuild to some extent no matter the record.

Let the musical chairs begin. Sad thing is quite a few of the multi -thousand will be without a chair.. maybe due to bad advice or some other reason.

Bad advice is one thing. But at 18-23 years old, you should know if you’re good or not (know your worth).BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Fri Jan 02, 2026 3:30 pmLet the musical chairs begin. Sad thing is quite a few of the multi -thousand will be without a chair.. maybe due to bad advice or some other reason.
Some of these guys have no business entering the portal or even playing CFB.
