Mavric

WR/S Dylan Reynolds from Broken Bow

This chart doesn't say much. The comment at the bottom is silly - since the year before (also coached by MR) was the best since 1999. If you take MR's average over the two years the numbers are basically identical to the average of the past two staffs. If we continue to see these numbers over the next 2 / 3 years then we will know that nothing has changed. It says quite a bit actually. There's nothing silly about the comment - it's 100% factual. The only silly thing is the lengths you go to try to avoid anything bad being said about the current coaches. Yes, last year's margin of loss was very close. It was also the most games games we've lost in almost 60 years. And against some of the worst teams we've lost to in 60 years. So if that's what it takes to keep the margin close, I think I'll pass.

Going to be tough to separate the political out but let's try to keep it at least genreally on topic without the political cheap shots, shall we? Stuff fitting the latter description has been moved here.

Probably very close to that..... My speculation was the cameras missed TA's first snipe at Morgan for not looking in time (or something similar) and only caught Morgan's indignance at that comment from TA.

Herman to LSU was leaked to force Texas' hand to get Herman the job he really wanted. I don't believe for a minute that's what happened. I do believe that the media is saying that's what happened to save face Saw a ticker saying LSU wasn't willing to wait on Herman to decide.....Also said that Jimbo Fisher allegedly balked at the offer of 6.8 million/year to go to LSU..... That's what they would say to cover their butt.

I'd say good coaching disguised a 7-8 win team and got us 9 wins. Heck maybe 10 if they can get the right bowl matchup. Not to mention they are running an offense they have to run not one they want to run. You never bothered to wonder why your lord and savior Bo Pelini couldn't do better than 9-4/10-4 in his 7 seasons? Lack of talent bc he didn't recruit enough of it. He put a ceiling on the program that can only be broken through with recruiting and development. Whether Riley does that remains to be seen but I can hardly hold a 9 or 10 win season against him in year 2. We won at least 9 every year under Bo. When MR was hired it was stated that there would be no regression to rebuild. Last year was worse than Callahan, and this year we had the easiest schedule in the history of college football, and did worse than any of Bo's seasons. This statement is so incorrect that it's laughable. Road trips to Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Iowa is not an easy schedule. Eh ... "history of college football" is an exaggeration but this was really the easiest schedule we can realistically expect to have. Our "marquee" non-conference game turned out to be a dumpster fire team. We only had to play one of the top three teams from the East - only ones that ended up over .500 in conference. No team in the West ended up in the top 70 in the nation in total offense. So it's unlikely to the point of impossibility that our schedule could be any easier. Yes, the home/away split was tougher. But the teams we had to play were not (save one).

Herman to LSU was leaked to force Texas' hand to get Herman the job he really wanted. I don't believe for a minute that's what happened. I do believe that the media is saying that's what happened to save face I haven't see any media say that, actually. It's just the most likely scenario given the circumstances. Really, Herman's agent would be stupid for NOT doing that.

Since Petrino complained about Louisville not getting enough credit from the Playoff committee, Louisville got drilled by Houston and lost to a middling SEC team.

McKewon doesn't like Harbaugh so he goes out of his way to not give him any credit: https://twitter.com/swmckewonOWH/status/802599174130847748

In Lang's defense, our running game wasn't doing sh#t in the first half. Langs is the one who insists on running right up the middle 80% of the time so.....

This is not what we HAD to do. It is what we chose to do.

Ohio State fakes a punt from their own 20. They didn't get it.

Pleasantly surprised by how the rest of the game went. Sure seemed like we were letting it slide away to end the first half. Down 11 when I turned it off and lost by 11. Biggest problem is roster balance. Watson is apparently a stud. I've always been impressed at how he takes care of the ball but now he's really scoring as well. And Webster continues to be a solid #2 scoring option. But after that ... yikes. Yesterday players not named Watson or Webster were a combined 11 for 41 (26.8%) with 1 assist. Need a little more help.
