No one is going to backtrack their takes from after Game 2. No one is going to admit that they overreacted to a historic one-game sample. But I will remember

Sounds like getting out of the first weekend of the NCAAT would be the ceiling here. Lot of secondary scorers.

The social media mayhem is a bad look for Deion, but the collective college football media started going after him since the program flamed out after a hot September last season.

Because of that, he's cooked unless they're real good next year (they won't be, he inherited 1-11).

Wanted player empowerment? You got it. This is all part of it.

People can hate on Deion but he’s got a program to run. Take it or leave it. It’s a business and it’s not always sunshine and rainbows.

He’s from Maryland so he’s closer to home and he probably didn’t have opportunities to start elsewhere.

I like this a lot, add a veteran with experience for depth who doesn’t block Pop Watson in 2025 if Drones leaves early/transfers

Did you know that Virginia Tech has one of the most gettable schedules in the Power Four AND was one of the better teams in college football after Week 4? AND has a promising returning QB? Keeping an eye on this situation.

Not only are fans expected to pay for various subscriptions/cable packages to watch games, but they're expected to pay big $$$ for season tickets and donate even more to fund athletic department payrolls.

Now, fans are being asked to fund NIL deals. When does it end?

How can a coach be expected to build a roster when players commit/de-commit within a few weeks? Imagine every professional player being a free agent *every* offseason.

How is this allowed? Oh yeah, cause everyone involved is lining their pockets. Except for fans, of course.
