Good for Calipari for knowing when to leave and not getting greedy with the buyout.

FSU, Clemson, and Miami have up and down seasons, but they have held their own the past 10 years or so. NC and NC State are not terrible.

You really can't compare teams a couple of decades apart. That Florida team was very fun to watch. This UConn Team is very dominant.

Staley has an outstanding program. They will likely be very tough for years. We need to compare her to Pat Sumlin or Gene Auriemma at UConn.

It feels like his best days are in the past. Arkansas needs a guy on the way up.

He is not well liked in Chicago. The Bulls continue to suck.

I am pretty happy with the tourney this year. It is nice to see a new SEC face in the final four. I wished the Vols could have pulled it off, but Purdue is really good. Alabama could beat UConn, but probably not. That's why they play the games. I look for a UConn and Purdue final, but that is ok.

Oregon has been back more times than Tennessee and Texas combined. Not gonna happen.

I watched a number of Bama games last year. They got beat at home by Texas, they were very lucky to beat Auburn, they had a solid game against GA and won. They were evenly matched against Michigan, and held on until OT despite Michigan making some big mistakes in the first half. It seemed like Michigan wanted it more and made the plays when it counted. Bama could have won, but did not. I am a big SEC guy, but this was Michigan's year.

I am afraid of where NCAA football is going. I think the game and strategy will change more than people expect. A coach basically cannot manage his roster because kids can leave for the highest bidder. The new playoff will add multiple games to an already long season. How will this affect the NFL? You are going to have 22 year olds with a lot more miles on their knees and bodies than ever before. A 26 year old running back will be basically worthless.

I think he is being very wise. He will have more credibility with students and team mates if he waits for the bucks after he has actually produced something on the field.

I live in the Chicago metro area. I am petrified the Bears will draft Caleb Williams and he will screw up and the Bears will screw up. This is a team with bad ownership, bad management, a bad stadium, bad everything. And the fans have unrealistic expectations. Kind of like my Gators.

Texas is back! This time we really mean it.

Good for her. I think the women's NCAA tournament is going to be great this year. South Carolina looks very good and LSU will also likely make a run. Are the fellas playing basketball this year?

Bowers is possibly the best college tight end I have ever seen. He is big strong and fast and can block and catch. I put him up there with Gronk and Travis Kelce ( sorry Taylor).

All coaches ( and players ) have a right to get the best situation they can for themselves and their families. Nothing wrong with that. But if the guy was considering two other coaching positions, Deboer should have known that.

Please elaborate Bubba.

Good for him. He always has thoughtful things to say at his press conferences.

The Chicago Bears have a 100 year history of screwing up everybody and everything. Kevin Warren makes perfect sense.

Kevin Warren is now screwing up the Chicago Bears, so you are welcome everyone for taking this moron out of college football. I don't mind if the kids get paid. We all need to get paid. I love the SEC, but the BIG has some entertaining teams as well. Don't let NCAA football go the way of NCAA basketball and just be a farm league for the pros. I am worried about Clemson and FSU. Although I hate those schools, they bring a lot to the table for college football.

College is a different game and there is nothing wrong with that. I prefer watching college football. That may change going forward. If you look at half of NFL coaches, they could not make it in the SEC. Take the Chicago Bears. Poorly coached, bone headed clock moves, stupid penalties, poor tackling, etc. No imagination with play calling. They are a long way from the KC and San Francisco coaching staffs. Just like Tennessee and SC coaches are miles away from Georgia coaching.

Take the money and run Jimmy. Ryan Day has to be feeling pretty good right now. I think Kirby and GA win the whole thing next year.

McMahon had a good team around him ( Walter Payton, Singletary, etc) Bears teams are usually not good and the QB suffers. Chicago needs new ownership and management.

Go Jalen!

Hats off to the guy for having the stones to take this job. I think he will do better than expected. Due to the NIL, transfer portal and all that horrible stuff, I think college football recruiting is a nation wide search. It does not bother me that he does not have SEC experience. Saban did not have SEC experience when he went to LSU and things seemed to work out ok for him.

This kind of makes sense, that the guy you hire is just a 3 to 5 year bridge to the next guy. I think Lane is too young and he makes too much money to risk his career.

Chicago Bears: Nick Saban is available!!!

Congratulations Coach Saban. Always a class act. You beat my Gators many times. You beat my sister's Auburn Tigers many times. But you always brought out the best in your kids and your opponents.

I know it is customary to have the runner up team as number 2 in the polls. That game last night was terrible. Alabama took UM to overtime and could have won in regulation if they didn't make so many mistakes ( I think Michigan is the better team 70% of the time). I don't see the logic in pushing Bama down to 5 when they beat GA straight up. I don't normally call Bama bias, but that's what this looks like. Gators in 2029!

Congrats to Michigan for running the gauntlet and winning all 15 games. I had not seen Washington play ( or any PAC 12 team) play all year. I suspected they would be weak and I never understood the hype. I am surprised Washington beat Texas. Let's rest up for next year. There is no football or basketball or baseball up here in Chicago to worry about.
