Apologies for the late vibe check. We wanted to be thorough.
THE GOOD VIBES:
*Applause!*
THE BAD VIBES:
*Booing, Hissing, Someone Throwing a Full Beer Can at Big Noon Kickoff’s Face*
One by one:
Good #10: Arch Manning?
You thought you’d seen the last of him on these pages…
(Nobody thought they’d seen the last of him on any pages.)
Bad #10: The Pac-2
Mean of Washington and Oregon to schedule those on the same weekend.
Good #9: Biff Poggi
The latest in a long line of great Michigan interim coaches.
Bad #9: Chapel Bill
Forgot this was still happening, to be honest.
Good #8: Mario Cristobal
We aren’t talking enough about Miami playing meathead football. And winning!
Bad #8: Luke Fickell
I actually don’t know how much of this is his fault specifically. But Wisconsin’s in a bad spot.
Good #7/Bad #7: Dylan Raiola?
Is Dylan Raiola good? The jury’s out.
Is Dylan Raiola a weird young man? The jury is very much in.
Bad #6: Jackson Arnold
The worst part is that you can’t say “But they needed to cheat to win!” when Hugh Freeze is your head coach.
Good #6: Will Hammond
Weird way for Texas Tech to find their quarterback, but you never count out a Hutto Hippo.
Bad #5: Arkansas
They’re gonna lose eight games again aren’t they.
Good #5: Mizzou
They’re gonna win ten games again aren’t they.
Bad #4: 10 AM Kickoffs
Fox Sports is a problem.
Good #4: Fernando Mendoza
Remember this guy?
Bad #3: Mike Gundy
Fair winds and following seas. Unless, you know, this is just 2023 again.
Good #3: Alberto Mendoza
There’s another Mendoza?? And he’s at Indiana too???
Bad #2: Dabo Swinney
Not going well.
Good #2: Eduardo Mendoza
So, we also post the Vibe Check on Instagram as a series of slides, and we thought it’d be funny on those slides to pretend there’s a third Mendoza brother at Indiana, but to then have that “third Mendoza brother at Indiana” just be Fernando Mendoza with a moustache. Here, it doesn’t make sense, because the picture’s all the way up there at the top of the post. Please follow us on Instagram, I guess.
Bad #1: Clemson
Remember when they thought they were going to join the SEC?
Good #1: Ralphie VII
That girl RAN.
