@XavierHarkness @AndyStaples @AriWasserman Agree bama noncon opponents weren’t very good, but comparing records isn’t apples:apples. The point is bama always plays at least 1 power 4 noncon game (last year they played 2) . Indiana hasn’t been playing power 4 noncon opponents and won’t until 2030. That’s weak scheduling

@UA251 @AndyStaples @AriWasserman You can call it soft, but Old Dominion and Kennesaw State were 10win teams. While Bamas non con was Florida State(5-7), UL-Monroe(3-9), Wisconsin(4-8) and Eastern Illinois. FSU, ULM and Wisconsin were a combined 12-24 while ODU and KSU were a combined 20-7.

"We don't have to call anyone soft." Ohio State and Alabama are still on for 2027 and 2028.

@AndyStaples @AriWasserman I didn’t call IU soft, just their noncon schedule. But you were prepared to call bama and osu soft had they cancelled right? Is either of those programs soft? Their records of late don’t indicate such. And no, IU is certainly not soft, but their schedule has been and will be.

@UA251 @AriWasserman Yes, but it’s very hard to call them soft when they just beat the crap out of you. They’re just denying us the entertainment of letting us watch them play more challenging opponents.

@AndyStaples @AriWasserman Andy, two things can be true. IU has become a really good program and was without question a worthy champion. But also, their noncon scheduling is pathetic and embarrassing. The second thing has zero to do with how badly they beat bama.

@UA251 @AriWasserman We do. Frequently. But them beating your team 38-3 probably means you can’t.

@AriWasserman So why don’t you call out Indiana now for their soft noncon schedules? Two things can be true. They are a good program and were certainly a worth champ last year. But that noncon slate has been and continues to be pathetic. Soft soft soft.

They'll both be better off for this. Well done to both sides.

@JoeTipton @Rivals @BarstoolVandy @TheDoreReport Curious if @GregSankey will issue a statement about this.

Vanderbilt recently hosted pro point guard Bryce Griggs for an official visit, source told @Rivals. The 6-foot-2, 22-year-old initially bypassed college, signing a pro deal with Overtime Elite before spending time overseas. Story: on3.com/rivals/news/va…

@AriWasserman You mentioned IU’s 2024 schedule but failed to say they don’t play a P4 noncon game until 2030. Texas and Bama will still play multiple P4 noncons even if they cancel OSU and ASU. Why don’t you write a column specifically about IU’s soft scheduling? Why are you coddling them?

Texas fans — or any fan base — advocating for softer schedules are misguided and wrong. Period. Column: on3.com/news/blueprint…

@AriWasserman Hey Ari, you wrote a whole column about bama potentially cancelling the Ohio state series. Now you’re calling out Texas. Yet no mention of Indiana’s charmin soft noncon schedules? Why are they above criticism? Bama and Texas still have multiple noncon games against P4 teams.

One of the most iconic nights of Steve Sarkisian's tenure at Texas was in 2023 when it won at Alabama. Now their fans are advocating for cancelling games like that? YOU ARE BRAINWASHED.

@On3 @AriWasserman Your article mentions only Bama potentially cancelling OSU. You *conveniently* failed to share who bama has recently played or will play in noncon: Miami, Texas, fsu, Notre Dame, Georgia tech to name a few. Do you have any agenda? Because you’re not telling the whole story.

NEW: College football loses if Alabama cancels its home-and-home (2027-2028) series with Ohio State👎 (via @AriWasserman) Story: on3.com/news/blue-bloo…

@AriWasserman You wrote a whole article about scheduling meaningful nonconference games and criticized bama. Not once did you mention the reigning champs pathetic noncon schedules in recent years and in the next 4 years. Did you not consider that relevant to the topic? You have an agenda?

@UA251 We do a daily show and we talk about them all the time. I encourage you to listen before telling me what I do or don't discuss. Thank you.

Read it. Study it. Learn it. Memorize it. Most importantly, live it. This is sports. Stop cancelling intriguing and compelling games ... for any reason.

@AriWasserman So why don’t you call them out on it, instead of singling out Alabama? As noted above, bama is still playing quality noncon opponents. Go look up who Indiana is playing the next 4 seasons in the noncon. It’s a complete embarrassment.

@UA251 I think it blows

@DawgStats @LSRobinson21 @TomCrean @AuburnMemes Bruce Pearl had two first round picks and couldn’t make it out of the first weekend of the ncaa tournament, losing by 18 in the R32 to a 10 seed.

@BurnerLJohnson I wonder what @GirthBrooksVol would say Peyton Manning built, exactly, in Knoxville? A garden of citrus trees?

Ty Simpson led his team to one more playoff win that Tennessee has in the history of their program. So, there’s that.

@BunkiePerkins @BurnerLJohnson @MattMoscona @MattMoscona also predicted LSU would win the sec championship this year. They went 3-5 in sec play and the 3 teams they beat won a total of 3 sec games. Matt is clown and does not know ball.

Stay hot, @MattMoscona

@ClintRLamb Bandit or interior player?

USC transfer IDL Devan Thompkins is a versatile, disruptive piece who could help Alabama's defense. Brings length and size (6-5, 290) while providing more power than you'd expect. -252 snaps (51.1%) as 3T -137 (27.8%) as 4 or 4i -55 (11.2%) as 0 or 1T -43 (8.7%) as 5T Great at disengaging blocks, willing to fight through double teams, quickness off the snap. 493 snaps in 2025 (908 in his career). 22 pressures, 3.0 sacks in 2025 (40, 4.5 in his career). There's a reason he's the No. 2 DL and the No. 28 overall player available in the portal.

@MattMoscona You also said lsu would win the sec championship. They went 3-5 in sec play. The 3 teams they beat won a total of 3 sec games. You’re a football savant!!!

No, but I do remember before the season predicting they’d finish Top 20. Oh look, receipts. (Finished 27th total and 24th scoring)

@ND2025Irish @windsor_sports @Bren_SoFlo @dannykanell Wrong. And your team is a bunch of crybaby quitters.

@UA251 @windsor_sports @Bren_SoFlo @dannykanell ND smokes Alabama and Oklahoma. USC is better than them.

Anyone who thought Bama was playoff worthy should not be trusted. Anyone who actually picked Bama to beat Indiana just doesn’t know ball.

@MattMoscona Alabama went 10-2 and made it to the second round of the playoff. LSU went 3-5 in sec play and lost the Texas bowl to Houston. The Bama dynasty is over but bama is not like lsu. Another clown take, just like you picking lsu to win the sec championship.

See y’all Monday 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@MattMoscona You picked LSU to win the sec championship. They won 3 sec games. You don’t know ball.
