If recruiting was the driving force, then the helmets would be lining up to play @Wisconsin in order to line their pockets with some of those gigantic OLineman.
They wouldn't know what to do with them if they got them.  The concept of developing guys who don't show up looking like NFL players is foreign to most of them

why wait a couple years when you can simply recruit NFL guys and insert them into the 2-deep?

Right, I don't blame them.

Why does ESPN feel the need to overhype the CFP during other bowl games?  If you are watching the Music City Bowl, you know the playoffs are tomorrow.

I suppose there's the off chance that a Purdue basketball fan is tuned into the Music City bowl, knows little about college football and might find it interesting

but, I agree

I gather they lacked for real advertisers selling us car insurance from companies that also sell home insurance etc.

And meals for men wanting to lose weight.  And some pill that will make me more manly.

Ding ding ding. I wonder if any OSU fans knew who Michael Deiter (Genoa, OH) was 5 years ago. Just an example.

Mrs. 847 was waiting last night to watch the Clemson/ND game after the Badgers got done. I told her that wasn't until Saturday, and she said "Why are they spending so much time on it during the Badger game?"

Wisconsin certainly is THE "book" on taking nobodies and making them NFL linemen.

It's rather amazing, especially when one consider's how many weak OLs exist out there.

I feel a bit saddened for Mark Richt.  I can't help him any of course.  He's a truly nice guy (most of the time).

I fear he's just in a bad spot.

This is what happens when a team on the cusp of top-10 talent in the 2018, the 2-year, and the 5-year recruiting rankings underachieves to face a team that is 49th, 62nd, and 69th in those same rankings.
