    1. [Powers] 92% of blue-chip recruits (4 and 5-star) have already committed. For 19 straight years, Alabama has signed a 247Sports Composite Top 5 class. That streak ends this year and there's a possibility Alabama doesn't even finish in the Top 25.
    2. Indiana won the 2025-2026 College Football Playoff. This isn't new information, it's just Insane to Accept as Reality, even 6 months later.
    3. Yesterday in the World Cup semifinal, England unsuccessfully tried to "park the bus" for 40 minutes against Argentina after taking a 1-0 lead. What are some of the more egregious examples of the prevent defense squandering a lead in cfb?

    1. Happy 7-3 to all who celebrate! Today we remember the game in which Iowa beat South Dakota State 7-3 with 2 safeties and a field goal
    2. [Horka] Brian Kelly says he was "mischaracterized" for how he left Notre Dame. "I didn't leave Notre Dame because they couldn't win a national championship. What I said was if I'm going to leave, I'm going to go to a place that can win a national championship.“
    3. [Kleiman] Colorado star QB Julian Lewis when asked about last season’s performance… “Last year we weren’t looking at defenses, we were just high school, free balling, just playing football.”

    1. [Breneman] James Franklin told me he almost walked away from coaching after he was fired from Penn State. He said his wife and agent begged him to take another job because they knew he’d go crazy sitting at home.
    2. [On3] TCU's Sonny Dykes tells Andy & Ari CFB should use the NFL model and make athletes employees: "The thing we're teaching our players is: 'Look if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.' Is that really what we want to teach young people? It would be much more of a bargain to collectively bargain”
    3. [On3] Texas Tech's Joey McGuire to Andy & Ari on those who questioned the Red Raiders' integrity during the Brendan Sorsby situation: "A couple of people that used the word 'integrity,' and I don't think their closets are clean."
