I go to high school football games and go where The U has committed players. I've been going for many years. I remember when St. Thomas played North East in a district playoff game in 1983. North East had 3 players that ended up in the NFL but Michael Irvin destroyed North East, it was a man amongst boys. I enjoyed every minute that Irvin played for the U. Lately things have changed drastically, players I watch and commit come to the U and I anticipate an outcome similar to Irvin's success, but alas the Portal exists and many end up never getting a chance to show what I saw when they played in High School. I have also followed recruiting and February used to be excitement in the off season, seeing who COMMITTED. Now I'm not blaming the players for leaving as I've been told many are asked to leave. I hope TVD wins the Heisman, Jacurri is runner up and Chaney rushes for 2000 yards IF they were asked to leave!
Also the destruction of the ACC is disturbing and seems that fsu being butt hurt has caused turmoil and confusion because no one knows who is going where. Honestly I've thought all along the ACC has become a valid football league with no real weak teams and all the sports that are not football related are super, I think that is why Notre Dame picked the ACC for all those other sports yet they schedule lots of ACC teams for football. They play 4 in 2024. But what matters is where will we end up or will the ACC stay intact? I hope fsu leaves and joins the frigid BIG! I was told that when fsu joined the Big East they were assured they would get a warm weather schedule. Hope they freeze!
Also again is the NIL which requires no added comments as it has made college ball a professional league. Since we seem to have immersed deeply into it will we get our monies worth? 13 million dollars for a freshman QB? by the gator? I wonder how much Arch Manning is getting? Mercenaries are not as much fun as dedicated orange and green bleeding Hurricanes
I've always been for change when it improves a situation, the league turmoil, the NIL and portal are destroying something beautiful!.
