It was 6 wins because of the quantity of games that were played by a given team.  the actual requirement is 50% or more so a 8 game schedule would only require 4 wins.  Now that may work for the bowls however the CFP will probably give the advantage to a team that has played more games with 0 or 1 loss.

Except that we don’t have that luxury. No need for made up scenarios. I would also take Iowa’s judgement any day of the week on a TE prospect over Beckton and Frost. If he was that good then Iowa would have offered Rollins. Luckily Fidone is so good that it could negate whatever loss Carnie may potentially bring. Our TE room has been bottom of the barrel in the Big ten. Hoping for Vokolek to shine because Stoll, Allen, and Rafdal ain’t cutting it so far. 

Lots of good in this post. 0nly thing that may be a factor is that rollins could have not shown interest towards Iowa hence no offer - don't know if its the case and don't know where iowa would have put them on their board if true.

Letting a homegrown kid go to Iowa that wants to be N is different than a kid going to Iowa from Illinois who kills us every year. Especially when he is better than 1 of your already committed TEs. 

Everything you just stated is true - but very different then the earlier post.

Fair warning, i'll lose it if we don't offer him tomorrow...

If we don’t offer this guy and we let him go to Iowa...somebody needs to get canned. This dude is gonna torch us if we don’t. 

He may or may not get a NU offer - he then may go to NU or Iowa.  But the above seems a little over the top. It seems like the idea is to offer anybody that is leaning towards a BIG school that may have the ability to torch us.  How many scholarships do we get each year?

I find it ironic that you use fake numbers to try and make your point seem valid.

Likewise that you couldn't focus on the general theme and had to focus on a number that was obviously not accurate

New faces will appear at several locations.

Do we not trust testing?

If you look up energy and environmental policies based on political leaning of a state you are likely to see the same pattern. But climate change is a slower moving problem so it can’t really be claimed these policies exist in order to sway a presidential election. These states don’t have stricter policies in order to win a presidential election; they have stricter policies because their constituents voted in people who care about these issues.

 

Long story short, correlation does not imply causation. Even if there is a pattern and it’s political, it is far more likely these states are wanting to be safer about football because their leaders and their citizens are more concerned about the virus, not because they have some nefarious plot to take down Trump by canceling football and blaming it on his handling of the virus. Trump supporters and states with more Trump supporters are less concerned about the virus because they trust Trump more. 

 

I believe the rant was about certain people being attracted to nutty conspiracy theories when there is usually a much more obvious, likely reason for something, i.e. occam’s razor. 

You make some very good points here.  My biggest issue is how is A a bigger risk tthen B

A: take 85 kids times 2 and another dozen coaches on both side with a handful of support members (refs and sideline help) - that have all been tested and cleared to spend a couple hours in an open air environment playing a contact sport.

B: 10,000 kids in their school environment that have or have not been tested hanging out and doing 99.9% of the things that college students do.

To be a fly on the wall for that convo. Trump asking bats#!t crazy questions and Warren spending 30 minutes not answering them. 

I was actually thinking: Trump asking serious questions about the well being of economic impact on universities and cities with Warren siting there trying to figure out how ihs agenda was going to get pushed without saying anything.

I'm just not stupid, and understand how these things work.

You did a great job listing the schools that voted no football with zero input from Mr Warrren - can you please list the individuals that are so stupid, since it seems to be the focus of your post.  You clearly must not know how it works since it is being handled completely different in late august then it was in early august.

He's the spokesman. He didn't make the decision.

 

The Presidents/Chancellors of Minnesota, Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State, Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State and Indiana voted not to have football this Fall. Warren then got to tell us their decision.

Are you his lawyer? If so your doing a nice job!!!

Aww... yes. ESPN seems to be way off on its evaluation of Fidone. They have him as listed as the #4 TE-H, and something like #266 overall. Odd.

They were waiting for a LSU commit before they did their final update

Frost has a plan for him - it will be epic.. Just think in a couple years we can have the best center in the country and a TE with crazy stats.
