Unread post by biggie » Tue Sep 16, 2025 1:33 pm

Thursday if you want to watch CFB you get Rice -2.5 at UNCC

Friday only 2 games

Saturday:
Clemson -17.5 trying to avoid falling further against Syracuse at noon

Wofford at 0-3 and VT at 0-3...

JMU -9.5 at Liberty probably easy for JMU

ULL -1.5 at EMU

Troy at Buffalo -5.5

Akr St -6.5 at Kennesaw St

Marsha -2.5 at MTSU

Boise -10.5 at Air Force 7pm, lets see how bad it could be for us

Maine at Stink

Coastal at SoAL -15.5

UF at Miami -7.5 that seems like a low number and how long can Billy last?

Georgia St at Vandy -26.5

SoMiss at LaTech -3.5 we can try to measure ourselves

Nicholls at TxSt

ULM at at UTEP -4.5

As someone who grew up a Clemson fan I will gladly be camping this weekend! Hopefully early on in the day Saturday.

And by die you mean get paid $22MM to not coach.

All things considered I would rank paying a massive buyout to a college football coach to basically just go away ($22m) among the top 5 most insane wastes of money. There are obviously plenty of examples in society as a whole but in the sports world this absolutely blows my mind. If I recall didn’t the once former LSU coach Orgeron pretty much publicly say something about taking the money and running? We all know about the insanity at Texas A&M. To think that any person is worth that much money absolutely is beyond comprehension.

Not having offset, mitigation and fully guaranteeing contracts is incredibly dumb for schools here especially at the p2 level, but they happily do it. I guess as long as boosters with more money then sense or $100mm/year tv contracts exist it will continue to happen.

If you think these are bad, you should see the payouts CEOs at Fortune 500 companies get for failing, sometimes spectacularly. Coaches buyouts are paltry compared to that

Yeah, Coach O said when they told him what his buyout was he replied, "show me the door outta here!" or something to that effect.

Negative on my end. Hoping Liberty takes it to them.

Gotta be a shot to the ego though. "they hate me how much"?

Tim Beck has the hottest seat in the Sun Belt. Got goose-egged 38-0 at home by ECU after beating FCS Charleston Southern 10-0 the week before after benching the starting QB and scoring a touchdown late.

He might not make it to Boone.

Southern Living made a list of 7 storied football programs in the south not in SEC or ACC. Coastal was on the list but ECU was not. Not sure I can take that article very seriously.

I have a number of family members who are NCSU alums...none of them were unhappy when Beck left for Conway.
The words "hopelessly vanilla offense" were mentioned.
