Christian and Danny are doing yeoman's work on making it entertaining given the ass kicking the Huskies just absorbed. It's a good listen.

    Agree, listened earlier and it was good.

    Of course they spent 20 minutes talking about how awesome the PSU game experience is.

    So a couple NFL players have a podcast called

    Dudes on Dudes

    NTTIAWWT but they say to search for it.

    I find that amusing in this long dark season

    I've only been to a couple Penn State type stadium experiences and they're great. UW has never been and will never be that though for a lot of reasons. UW is what it is and is a singular college football experience and when things align it's fucking great. It feels more like a Seahawks game and feeling than a Penn State, Michigan, or SEC school. Even the kind of damp air that hangs in the stadium and the energy of the city all around you is different. It's not a USC either who is in a massive city and has 5x the prestige but it feels like no one gives a fuck.

    I appreciate Penn St for maintaining a semblance of college football. Some of the big SEC stadiums look like NFL stadiums

    Last week Christian was making excuses for why Fisch can't succeed this year. But the items he listed were things the Indiana coach also faced this season and he's undefeated

    But generally Christian is good and reasonable

    If Indiana doesn't fire their coach and he sees the writing on the wall and does what Kelly did and jumps to a coordinator job in January, then Cignetti is fucked the same way besides his own guys from JMU.

    The January transfer rule isn't an excuse it's a bullshit idea where they never considered that a playoff team could lose their coach. And it does need to get fixed going forward or your going to have these zombie teams like UW and UCLA for a season.

    If you're going to lose your coach it needs to be after the regular season and you need to hire from outside. Beavlet for example has no one to blame but themselves.

    I think it's clear I'm not a Fisch excuser but there's some stuff to consider when comparing Fisch and Cignetti.

    1. What would each coach's record be if they swapped schedules?
    2. Fisch's biggest controllable failing to me was not getting more of his better former team players to follow him when compared to Cignetti, but it's way easier to sell a James Madison player on following you to Indiana than an Arizona player to Washington going into 2024. I doubt James Madison had some landlord threatening lawsuits or whatever went down and the idea that Arizona was still a Big 12 champion/playoff contender existed versus fighting to go 9-3 at UW. Keep in mind the Oregon, Ohio State and Texas' of the world I assume may have tried to get Tetarioa and Arizona's other best players to transfer and they didn't so I think they had something going there to keep them to stay.
    3. I don't know the logistics of the Indiana coaching change but I'm sure it was easier to keep a base of some of the current players when a bunch of overpaying schools are circling and players aren't facing going from the natty to looking at 8-4 as successful.

    What would their records be if they swapped teams ?

    I think Cignetti would gave beaten Coug, Rutgers, and probably Indiana with UW's roster.

    Hard to say how Fisch would have done at IU with its roster, but I suspect they'd have dropped at least 1 if not 2. That's the easiest schedule I've seen in the P4 this year so who knows.
