Chip Kelly giveth and taketh away, as Carson Steele starts Game 2 at running back… along with freshman black quarterback Dante Moore.

Messi is still starting for Argentina in World Cup qualifying. They needed his magic against middling Ecuador: Not a great keeper effort, to be fair, but plenty of players regularly fail to put the ball on net - can't score if you don't manage that.

CM Punk was fired from AEW for starting yet another fight backstage. That guy broached my kayfabe bent where I hate him for the IRL stuff he supports. He went out smiling next to a "trans rights" banner. OK, bitch! Tomorrow's PPV will be worth watching!

Thanks as always @TwentyTwo , your summaries really punctuate the weekend threads.

I wrote up a team preview for ya! https://castefootball.us/threads/2023-ucla-bruins.39385/

This is a very impressive lineup! Who would guess that of three black starters on an offense, two of them play on the line? Nolan Rumler was a beast recruit who transferred from Michigan last year.

Gavin Freeman for Oklahoma! 5'8 sophomore slot

I watched Lachey and Ragaini drop easy touchdowns from McNamara at the end of the half. I am assuming that they are just trying to sabotage the Brian Ferentz regime by leaving points on the field.

Schiano's career ark has been weird. I understand the disdain about unplugging the Brian Leonard train a bit to install some Ray Race engines. In retrospect, they were both elite backs the quality of which Rutgers hasn't seen since. Ray Rice forever has a scarlet letter on his name, but frankly...

The number of times I will be watching Akron is Zip, Zero, Zilch!

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/lions-continue-talks-with-jared-goff-former-pro-bowler-jonah-jackson-on-possible-contract-extensions/ After two years of relentless media campaigning to replace Goff with any and every upsider via the draft, it looks like he's finally solidified himself as...

If the white players catch the occasional ball on offense, great. If not, this team isn't so hot. I'm interested to see what Bazelak can do in the MAC - he wasn't great at Indiana but had to play some brutal defenses with a lackluster supporting cast.

That's a pretty good-looking front seven, including some depth! Did not expect that from Tulsa.

Thank you as always for organizing this unique and important project, and also for writing up a big chunk of team previews. Appreciation for everybody who chimes in on the threads with remarks. It's nice to see that these posts don't just fall into the ether, even for the odious squads with...

Since 2006, NIU has started 11, 11, 14, 12, 11, 7, 7, 9, 6, 8, 10, 9, 10, 7, 10, and 9 white players. In 2023, the Huskies project to start Rutkiewicz had six touchdown catches out of the slot last season and is the team's leading returning receiver. The success of his partnership with Rocky...

Since 2006, Bowling Green has started 12, 9, 9, 11, 9, 10, 12, 7, 10, 7, 9, 6, 9, and 7 white starters. We've missed a few years in there somewhere. In 2023, they look to start 8. Scot Loeffler was a well-traveled assistant who took his first head coaching job at Bowling Green in 2019. In 2022...

I don't mind the occasional ukulele performance, but there's a time and a place!

Lol, SMU will get no media revenue from the ACC for the first nine years. I wouldn't bet on the current conference setup lasting that long. In the classic prisoner's dilemma, actors take a slightly less-than-optimal outcome for the betterment of the group. The first person to rat gets off...

Tyler Buchner (half-Asian) ran Tommy Rees' offense last year at Notre Dame (not well, mind you). I wonder how much of this decision is on Saban vs. his new OC. You would think Buchner would be the one with the real "experience" edge. Ty Simpson was a five-star stud out of high school two years...

Amazing how many of these MAC teams look so very similar. Mostly white o-line, white tight end, 50/50 odds on quarterback, a backup wide receiver, 3-4 starters on defense (not 5, not 2).

Since 2005, the Miami Redhawks have started 13, 13, 16, 13, 9, 11, 10, 9, 9, 14, 14, 9, 11, 10, 13, 11, 11, and 10 white players. In 2023, they look to start 11. Starting QB Brett Gabbert is Blaine's youngest brother and the clubhouse leader. He was under-recruited out of high school because of...

The MAC is still the conference for chippy lunchpail defenders from the Midwest to get to live the college football experience. Unfortunately, it's also the place for a lot of subpar black quarterbacks to live the 'big man on campus' lifestyle while running the same dumbed-down, one-read offenses of the...

Since 2006, Central Michigan has started 8, 10, 15, 13, 11, 11, 14, 14, 15, 9, 8, 7, 3, 4, and 7 whites, with no write-up done in 2013. For 2023, they project to start 9. Head coach Jim McElwain will enter his fifth season with CMU with MAC title aspirations. Unfortunately, a completely caste...
