        ND would never allow that many transfers in one year. Forget about Cignetti coming here! [NT] - irishslovak - 12:02am 11/5/24

  - They have been consistent at FOLDING… even against mediocre competition. - Curly1918 - 6:30pm 11/4/24
    - Indeed. Coaching related imo. But dangerous for a rival in last game when season-ruining motive. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:53pm 11/4/24
- SC's high point came when they were the only pro team in LA. Now they are only the third best. - Curly1918 - 1:42pm 11/4/24
