OFFICIAL 2023-2024 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD *THE START OF THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINE DYNASTY; UPDATE 1/24/2024: THE END OF THE MICHIGAN DYNASTY*

[651akathepaul]

So you started watching during the Spurrier Years and still believe that FSU was the big man in Florida? Smh my head

Bowden, yeah. FSU was my first favorite CFB team..as such, FSU vs Florida one of my favorite rivalries. Never hated Spurrier tho...maybe Danny Wuerffel.

Loved Anthony Reidel and Jacquez Green too.

Been in the works for a while. The rumor was we’re going Mamba for not just basketball but football too:

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

College football is better when FSU is legit.

Agreed.

 

[atlsfinest]

I don’t think it’s going to be UF even tho I’m sure that’s about to be a thing.

I think they’d go after someone like Lanning.

Why would Lanning leave Oregon for Florida? The Gators are on their 5th coach in a decade.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Why would Planning leave Oregon for Florida? The Gators are on their 5th coach in a decade.

Institutional disfunction aside it’s still a top 10 job, and there’s no telling how Oregon is going to fare in a tougher conference now.

[nako xl]

Nah they need to make them air max and stop bull****ting

Unless I have an AD that I am bff's with that's coming with me (or for some reason I always dreamed of coaching at uf), I'd just stay at UO

We haven't had any really good #1 overall draft pick drama in awhile. Let's have this play out.

 

[witnesskb24]

Oh boy here we go

 

[N41D]

This is wild.

Gonna be a de facto A&M home game.

Caleb's just trying to help his homie Drake Maye out. Don't read too much into it.

 

[nako xl]

This is wild.

Gonna be a de facto A&M home game.

yall trying to go to see GT?

 

[N41D]

yall trying to go to see GT?

Aggies will travel for Miami and leave them seats empty just to be petty.

GT kinda functioning as A&M Misfit Island this year, though.

 

[dacomeup]

This is wild.

Gonna be a de facto A&M home game.

Def not. Miami fans have been complaining because the ticket prices were insane. Think this is the school working on that. There were like $200 nosebleed tickets being sold.

Lying >>>>

I'd be shocked if Caleb passed up on being the #1 pick after the season but hey he's probably making good money off these NIL deals. It would be hilarious if he just said ehh I'll pass on going to the Cardinals and just stay at SC another year.

 

[elpablo21]

Doesn't want to go to Arizona? Smart man

 

[D StaXX]

Fully supporting Caleb with that decision

 

[witnesskb24]

I thought the “might stay another year” talk doesn’t start till about week 7-8 usually

 

[Bantz Lord T]

I thought the “might stay another year” talk doesn’t start till about week 7-8 usually

Lol yes, it's wild to assume that Arizona will get the #1 pick when we haven't played a single game yet

 

[Bobby Layne]

I mean there’s no guarantee the team picking 1st in 2025 is going to be any better either. These teams are awful for a reason.

 

[MVP]

Rams should 100% tank this season

The full quote:

His father, Carl, puts a finer point on it. “The funky thing about the NFL draft process is, he’d almost be better off not being drafted than being drafted first. The system is completely backwards,” he says. “The way the system is constructed, you go to the worst possible situation. The worst possible team, the worst organization in the league—because of their desire for parity—gets the first pick. So it’s the gift and the curse. I mean, I’ve talked to Archie Manning—his career was shot because he went to a horrible organization. I’ve talked to Lincoln [Riley], and Kyler [Murray] struggled because of where he was drafted. Baker [Mayfield] struggled mightily because of where he was drafted. The organizations matter.” And there’s a break-in-case-of-emergency option that Carl is keeping in mind. “He’s got two shots at the apple,” he says. “So if there’s not a good situation, the truth is, he can come back to school.”

The New King of College Football

Caleb Williams has already won a Heisman, resurrected a storied USC program, and become a highly paid pioneer in this newly lucrative era of college sports. Why would he ever want to leave school?

The over arching point seems to be how good USC has been to him that it wouldn't be crazy to stay. Not so much "**** the bad NFL teams."

Another thing to consider though: His dad didn't want him to go to USC to begin with out of HS or when he transferred and Caleb ultimately made that decision himself. So maybe don't take a quote from his dad on a decision as a clear sign of where his head's at.
