UNC has banned Patriots staff from the entire football program. Zero access. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46159090/unc-belichick-ban-patriots-staff-program

Plays into my theory Bill is only in college football because he was not going to let Kraft/NFL blackball and end his coaching career.   So he is opting for a legacy hit by being a bad college coach because everyone is petty and childlike to various degrees.

As I say that, Arch throws a 83 yard TD to Livingstone lol. 

They're saying this was the longest Texas TD pass in 8 years 

Livingstone with another TD, a shorter pass this time after Texas picked off the SDSU QB off a tipped ball.

Nothing he does at the college level affects his legacy IMO.....

After all the interesting games last Saturday this is more of a typical early season Saturday of football. Not many games of interest, mostly just schedule filler. Michigan/Oklahoma should be decent tonight. I sure as hell hope UNC/Charlotte isn't "interesting" but I'm not so sure that it won't prove to be. LOL

This makes zero sense.

I'm watching Texas vs SDSU and Michigan vs Oklahoma.  None of the games in that middle time slot interest me.

Texas is beating the living shite out of SDSU. 4 TDs for Arch and it's not halftime yet lol.

I think there were way too many people over reacting to Arch in the first game vs Ohio State.

Joel Klatt had the best take I heard. Arch was making the first legit start of  his college career and he lost to the defending national champions at their place by 7 points, with a chance to tie or win at the end of the game. Klatt also said this was the first game Arch started on the road in his career.

Was probably a combination of nerves + the atmosphere + Ohio State having a good defense. Ohio State did lose a ton of starters defensivly the draft but they kept a few, including a starting CB Igbinosun and probably a top 10 pick in next year's draft, Saftey, Caleb Downs.  Klatt was saying he made ton of odd mistakes in his first away start as well. 

It's going to take time for him to learn how to play well against real good defenses. He got a few snaps in against Georgia last year and didn't look great either.

Yeah, watching blue bloods beat the hell out of terribly overmatched teams just isn't interesting to me.

My HS just hired a new coach last year who graduated from there and who won multiple state championships at a lower level NC HS before coming back home. They had a decent year last year but they are straight up putting belt to ass so far this season. They've outscored their opponents 164- 28 through three games and all of those 28 opposing points were scored in garbage time. They were ahead 48-0 last night at halftime.

I think it makes perfect sense,  the NFL did a mini blackball for Bill.  Which was lead by Kraft. 

Bill was forced into college.  He wants to be in the NFL

Bill is telling Kraft fug you with his Patriots ban.  Which the pettiness sort of makes Bills selling of why you should come play for a him a tad hypocritical.    Given its supposed to be in part NFL connections to the league  and he has banned an org from UNC
