Because who needs a seven-footer who averages 9 points, 11 rebounds and nearly 4 blocks per game?

Not necessarily. It depends on how good you are - or think you are - in the first place. If you're a back-end-of-the-Top 25 team, beating a Top 5 team is a great win but you are a lot closer to them than you would be a hasn't-beaten-a-B1G-team-in-three-years team so the "absolute value" would skewed the other way. If you're a 5-7 team, you're probably right. Generally agree with this and what StPaulHusker has been saying. If it's one loss but you still win a conference championship and/or get a Playoff invite, I'm sure that's right. But if it's the difference between a 9/10 win season, that changes how much the victory is worth. Additionally, that game for tOSU was probably quite an outlier. They had a new QB starting his second game after losing their starter in fall camp who completed less than a third of his passes and threw three interceptions. Plus, the degree of who you "shouldn't" lose to varies a lot. VaTech wasn't good but they were 7-6 and beat another Top 25 team that year. There's a difference between that and teams that haven't won a conference game in three years. Almost everyone in the Top 25 loses a game to someone they "shouldn't" each year. I bet if you went back just two years, basically everyone has lost a game they "shouldn't". Losing to a team that's .500 or just better is probably going to happen every year or two to just about every team other than the elite. But losing to 2/3 win teams rarely happens to teams that are legitimate conference/national title contenders.

Considerable improvement from what frame of reference?

And the other was when they played each other.

When you keep changing the parameters it makes it hard to have a coherent conversation. That was my elaboration on post #6. And neither one has anything to do with the OP.

The problem with trading "flukey" wins for "flukey" losses is just that - everything is flukey and you don't really know how good of a team you are. If you really have a good team, you shouldn't be losing those flukey games. You should be handling the lesser teams and competing with the better teams. Beating Michigan State at least helps it feel like the team was actually better than the one that lost to Illinois and Purdue in the short term. But in the long term the flukey losses aren't going to get us anywhere we really want to be as a program.

Another "bad" set of home games. That home schedule SHOULD have been 4-28.

I would think so. Don't see us taking four in one year. I thought i saw where one of the coaches said we could have as many as 6 D linemen in this class. Maybe they are talking DT and DE while you are just talking DT. Yeah, I would think three of each.

Word is UNLV is making a late push. They have plenty of playing time to offer and they have an assistant coach who has lots of connections to Jordy, his school and his AAU program. Also, story is they might be willing to take both Jordy and his brother. Missouri may also be making a push.
