gotta move on from beck, assuming whittingham gets another year. it's worse than 2024 given the dynamics you mentioned.

maybe we should have considered the possibility that utah's administration made the right move forcing this dude into retirement. should have gone fishing with the grandkids.

good take. a lot had to go wrong to lose that game, and this team probably wasn't ever gonna contend for a playoff spot regardless. a couple of impact transfers on defense and could be a title contender next year.

oh so u disagree with kirk trying to hit over the 35.5 alt huh

al @grandvillain.substack.com · 26/09/2026

it's amazing how iowa is this exact same team every single year. outgained by over 200 yards but somehow hanging around. you gotta respect it.

al @grandvillain.substack.com · 26/09/2026

prob a good bet to try to make us drive the whole field 5 yards at a time when we're this prone to shooting ourselves in the foot

You just gotta respect how Ole Miss's QB is from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the least SEC place in the country.

that's not conspiracy thinking imo. less about it being prone to errors and more about the deniability it offers. for example, if a company hacked a competitor, it would be illegal. but if an "agent" of that company does, it's a technological marvel! no liability if you can just say "AI did it."
