Yeah, all those toppings would make a pretty good side salad for a burger. Just do that. (With like 80% less onion.)

God, the strawberries are *incredible*

Pre-spring QB rankings for all 68 Power 4 college football teams Spring football is about to begin. CJ Carr, Arch Manning, Julian Sayin? Who's the best QB right now?

Loads of preview material to come in March, but let's start with the QBs. As I did during the season, I ranked all 68 (likely) starters heading into spring ball.

This position is in VERY good shape in '26. Guys I'd have guessed might be in the teens were in the 30s.

Oh wait, I misread what you said. Will fix.

Was referring to the 6-2 finish to the *regular season*. He definitely, uh, backtracked in the bowl.

Yeah, I refused to acknowledge that Staub might have a chance. That's an absolute emergency situation if he gets the job.

Yeah, a lot of Heupel benefit-of-the-doubt baked into that one.

I don't know what he's actually good at! But he was clearly good at stuff last year!

I keep saying nice things about both K-State and Notre Dame, and it's making me as uncomfortable as it's probably making K-State and Notre Dame fans.

Like, Drake Lindsey is a perfectly solid QB, and Minnesota fans are gonna scream at me (on the other site, at least), but I couldn't justify even squeezing him into the 30s. Should be a fun year.

Or 24 spots too high. :)

Less of an issue than it was a couple of years ago!

I hate never having specifics about nagging injuries, but the fact that he basically produced what he always produces made me okay with glossing over it. Even at the end of the year, he sandwiched his best game of the season inside some bad ones.

(All 68 P4 starters, that is.)

That whole “the iPod is older than the Walkman was when the iPod came out” thing has wrecked me for like a week straight.

This is the meanest thing you’ve ever said to me.

Every visualization sheds light on the chart designer’s priorities about what to include and what to omit. I wrote a bit about the choices I made with this one here: bcftoys.com/whiteboard/p...

Why should it be more of a punishment to commit targeting in Q2 than Q4?

The targeting carryover suspension was fine.

Actually, yes, the targeting rule is fine, too. It's accomplishing what it was supposed to accomplish, even if interpretations are still tricky sometimes.

1. No idea why this was suddenly an issue. It was fine.
2. HELL yes, most of the time OPI is basically an illegal block, so I approve wholeheartedly
3. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
4. Sure, fine.

We need more Buck Lateral.

(Also, Bensebaini, not Can)

Just high enough a boot to be a penalty. The most "hung out to dry by his keeper" that a fullback has ever been. (Only fair after he screwed his keeper twice in the first half.)

Bensebaini is the goat, but WHAT WERE YOU DOING, KOBEL

Even by their own standards, this team's glitches have been ... special.

Until Inter's goal, it was 1.72 to 1.72 despite Inter having 4x more shots, lol.

Amazingly clinical.

AHHHHHHHH GLIMTS UP 3 GOALS (on aggregate) WITH 30 MINUTES LEFT GLIMTS GLIMTS GLIMTS GLIMTS GLIMTS
