OK, so here’s what I was told by a couple sources about this Mark Pope-Pat Kelsey verbal altercation outside of Tay Kinney’s house at midnight a couple weeks ago in Atlanta. Mark Pope and Kentucky had the midnight slot with Kinney, and Pat Kelsey and Louisville were bumped to 12:15 a.m. Kelsey and his staff were sitting outside in the car waiting and they went in when Pope and Kentucky wasn’t there right before midnight. Pope showed up moments later, called the agent and then got into it with Kelsey as he and the Louisville assistants walked out of the apartment a few minutes after midnight. Pope was heated, thinking Kelsey and his staff went in earlier than the allowed time of midnight. A verbal altercation ensued, with both having some choice words for one another. Pope thought Kelsey broke the rules, and Kelsey took exception to that. Pope and his assistants went in, met with Kinney, then walked back out as Kelsey and his staff were walking in. Pope tried to shake Kelsey’s hand immediately, but Kelsey was upset that Pope had made comments that he broke the rules by going into the house early. After a short time, the two sides hugged it out. It’s not exactly the level of disdain with former Kentucky coach John Calipari and Louisville coach Rick Pitino during their days, but at least it’s something to elevate the rivalry again. Although both Pope and Kelsey downplayed anything between the pair when Field of 68 asked them about any altercation earlier this week. “I love Mark,” Kelsey said earlier this week. “I have a ton of respect for Pat,” Pope added.

All the journalists All the analysts All the pod-casters All the Ex-players They keep giving the "EXCUSE" that DJ is just rusty. WTF!!!!???? Really!!!??? Playing QB should be like riding a bike. You got it or you don't. DJ has been in the playbook for 2 years now....soooo...that's not an excuse.... He's out of shape....??? Maybe....but who cares....Chuck the ball in the right direction dude.... Coaching.....!!!!???? Maybe ease him in properly...run HEAVY the first few games until he's got his legs..... But I'm soooo sick of the analysts and experts saying....ohhhh....he's a little rusty....give me a f'n break!!! Billy has broken this kid....and it takes a f'n tardman to do that..... ...please leave Billy....please leave....

Went to the MNF game in Las Vegas. Sat in a box with a bunch of friends. One of the guys in the box is a really big booster at U. of Arkansas. Mentioned that I was a supporter of SMU and he immediately stated that he loved Lashlee. He said the Arkansas boosters were wearing thin on Pittman and he would be surprised if he was there next year. He said Lashlee would be very high on the Arkansas list. Told him I think Lashlee is very happy at SMU and he laughed and said "we will certainly be finding out. You do know he is from Arkansas and played for us." Something to follow although we all kind of knew this already. Thought it was interesting.

If they get beat down Saturday he's gone either Sunday night or Monday morning. I'm guessing everything is already in place to announce it.

Just re-watched the OU-Michigan game, again. If Hugh Freeze cannot put a better product on the field than what UM did, he better start packing. I will be shocked if AU doesn’t win by double digits. OU, contrary to what most have said on here, was terrible in all facets of the game. QB threw interceptions and should have had more. Special teams had turnovers. Defense was one dimensional and lucky they were playing a 2nd game true freshman, at home, etc, etc. They are not a polished team as some on here have portrayed. Do they have a few good players, sure, but so does EVERY team in this league. I’ll say AU 27-17. WDE.

I hope they run the table, I hope we run the table, I hope we face them again and kick their a$$ again. Ask yourself...has anyone beaten Alabama twice in the same season? Let's let the media shine their "shoes" for the next three months, prop them up and say how we couldnt beat THIS Bama team...then go out and do it again. "They STILL don't have Nick Saban to save them..." Tommy Castelanos Now what MFr?

Just warning my fellow Noles. College Gameday will not be here Oct 4th. They will be at Bama-Vandy. This also means FSU game will most likely be 330, not 630. I could be wrong...but this is most likely.

Jason Adams on X: "Pray for Conner Shaw, he is on the field and they have been trying to revive him. @GamecockCentral @1075TheGame Coaching his kid, passed out. Not looking good." / X

Get rid of the individual urinals and bring back to the TROUGHS. Waiting in line for over 20 minutes is not acceptable even by your standards. Danny just come down from your private box and use the Men's restroom during half time. Or go rent portable potties this south End zone area. I know other people are complaining about restroom in the upper desk.

“He weighed everything,” Arnold’s dad, Todd, told SoonerScoop on Tuesday. “The culmination of everything that happened — the injuries, the offensive struggles. The fact you’re going to have your fourth offensive coordinator in three years, whether you stay or whether you go. And also some of the toxic things that were said to him, mostly by students on campus, and that’s kind of hard to brush aside. It’s easy to tell someone, ‘Just don’t listen.’ But he’s 20 years old. He’s going to listen to stuff like that. “I think, unfortunately, he didn’t see a future down the road at Oklahoma.”

Florida RBs coach Jabbar Juluke has been suspended three games for the pre-game altercation at LSU.

"Two sitting Power Four head coaches to watch will be Vanderbilt’s and South Carolina’s . Lea has built Vanderbilt into a winner in the SEC and the Commodores are 3-0 to start the season. Leaving his alma mater would be unlikely. Beamer is Frank Beamer’s son and has found success at South Carolina. Leaving a good spot in the SEC for a rebuild in the ACC could be a tough sell, but the chance to bring the Hokies back to the spotlight could be attractive. The odds feel unlikely, but Virginia Tech will definitely make a run at the native son." In-depth update from Nakos here:

I know we payed Gio big money but he has been off for 3 straight games and Max Johnson is better.

I'll go ahead and get this out of the way, my number 1 choice is probably Kiffin. However, I keep coming up with this scenario in my head where I'm like, "I think this could happen..." And that sentiment is growing and growing. I don't know if I'd want this. I don't know how I would feel about it but again, It keeps popping up in my head and I need you guys to talk me out of it.... Dabo. EDIT: Post in thread 'Haven't really seen anyone mention Clark Lea yet' @Coolgtr had it first I didn't see his post but heres my take ... Why I think it happens. 1. SS needs to nail this hire. He needs to get someone with a reputation of winning. He can't go for up and coming anymore 2. I could see a world where Dabo and Clemson mutually split. I get the sense Dabo is a little agitated about Clemson fan base. I could see the University wanting a fresh start. I could see Dabo wanting out of the ACC purgatory. 3. SS would love his personality. He's someone with good morals and good reputation as a Christian. Right in SS's wheel house. 4. Would Dabo want to leave Clemson for UF? Who knows... It's a wildcard pick but It seems like both UF and Clemson (speculation) are heading for a split and the timing could work out. He would get the luxury of SEC money and resources in a rich recruiting ground. Should be no hard feelings if Dabo chose to leave. He brought Clemson 2x NCs Maybe I'm crazy, talk me out of it. I just can't shake this sense of a collision course between Dabo and UF.

"If we stink because we haven't played for a national championship since 2020, I guess we stink. But why are we held to a different standard than these other programs?" "We might stink it up this year. We might lay an egg and go 6-6. BUT I DON'T THINK SO." Says this is the model program in college football. "In 17 years we've had one bad season. And that was 2010." Said his gift is he doesn't read any of the negativity. He just knows people are writing bad things when he gets texts from loved ones saying: "We're praying for you." Said Eddie Robinson once gave him great advice: "When it's bad, don't read nothing."

What are your thoughts?

1. Michigan’s administration scheduled Nebraska in their two game head coach suspension because they feel they don’t need their head coach for the Nebraska game. 2. The last time Michigan played Nebraska their quarterback JJ McCarthy was making out with his girlfriend on the sidelines. Michigan’s lack of respect for the Huskers is deeply embedded. They think we have nice fans tho. 3. Michigan players think Nebraska fans are odd in that they are so nice. offensive lineman for Michigan thought he was being pranked the last time they played in Lincoln because the fans were so nice. 4. Michigan believes the Nebraska game is a trap game. They point to time after time Michigan blowing Nebraska out except for the close one in Lincoln when Adrian Martinez fumbled the ball in the last minute. Michigan is relieved they have Nebraska to play with their Head Coach suspended. MICHIGAN HAS NO FEAR OR RESPECT OF NEBRASKA

Do you guys just want him to rip it and take chances and if he throws a few picks he just does? Or do you want him to keep playing like he has and be quicker with where he is going? I see the vision with the rpo’s and he seems really comfortable.

Message boards on War Eagle think that we are untested.

So I asked Google AI and it's response is Yes, it appears Nico Iamaleava is stepping away from football temporarily to focus on his mental well-being, according to reports from September 13, 2025. After the UCLA Bruins' loss to the Lobos, Iamaleava reportedly held a team meeting where he announced his decision, citing that his heart wasn't fully invested in the game at the moment. Details of the Announcement [LIST] [*]When: After a loss to the Lobos on Friday. [*]Where: During a team meeting. [*]What: He announced he would step away from football temporarily. [*]Why: To focus on his mental well-being and because his "heart is not fully invested at this time". [/LIST] Context [LIST] [*]Iamaleava had a difficult start to his first season at UCLA after transferring from Tennessee. [*]His decision comes shortly after UCLA fired head coach following three straight losses. [*]The situation highlights the ongoing challenges and pressures within college football regarding player performance, transfers, and mental health. [/LIST] But I can find no articles on it.

Saw this on the r/FloridaGators Reddit page. Students have organized a "Fire Billy" rally for Tuesday, Sept 16, starting at 12 pm at the Plaza of the Americas.

These mother fuggers think their team is 95 Nebraska. I've been watching several national preview vids, and the comments are littered with absolutely disrespectful comments about AUs team and progrum and outrageous score predictions. The Sooner Nation thinks this will be a cakewalk for them. The average score prediction is somewhere in the 35-10 range. Also there's quite a lot of hateful rhetoric towards JA and them saying he's garbage and will get wrecked by the OU front 7. I was expecting a fanbase of their stature to display a bit more restraint and respect in their pregame comments, but they have gone full dustbowl bammer.
