    Wait so it wasn't ok for one coach to not want to talk to the media because he thought they were jerks.  And this made the fans mad and it was bad for the program.

     

     But this guy skips the media, gets mad and gets worked up towards them.  It's the media being jerks. Lol hilarious double standard and hyperbole from people here.

    I was never much for bashing Bo and I believe neither him or the media helped that whole situation so no don't clump me into the double standard column. I simply called it the way that I see it.

  2. Even if Diaco does the post game interview one of two things happens.

     

    A. Bob takes full blame, says he's a terrible coach and came up with a pi$$ poor game plan. Shatel calls it unacceptable for a coach getting paid $825,000 a year.

     

    B. Bob gives answers full of coach talk that may, or may not match what was seen on the field. Shatel calls it unacceptable for a coach getting paid $825,000 a year.

     

    Throw me in the group that thinks this is a mountain of a mole hill. Not only that, it sure feel likes the media with an ego problem. Just calling a spade a spade.

  3. 1. Tanner Lee can sling it!

    2. IB is currently the best position on the field. Hopefully MR and Langs will be willing to feed them the rock as the season continues. Tre Bryant can definitely be an every down back, but I hope they distribute it to Wilbon and Ozigbo I little more too. We have the depth, use it.

    3. It's better to start the season with a W than the alternative and bottom line it's great to have football back. Let's hope the team has a good week of practice and takes a big step before next Saturday.

    People talk about us not having an identity but Riley taught Wisconsins HC most everything he knows? We have an identity and it is similar to most of the teams in the Big 10 frankly. At least in terms of what Riley wants to do. If anything Riley is taking us more towards the Big 10 mold than Bo ever was. PSU and OSU have done different things on offense than what the Big 10 is used to but if you look at the scheme we want to run offensivly anyway it is very similar to Wisconsin, Iowa, MSU, Michigan, ect.

    Maybe Michigan State but not a lot in common with the others. Those teams are all running teams first and foremost.

     

    We would be more of a running team also if we weren't playing with upperclassmen from Bo and without upperclassmen that left the team. We will start to see upperclassmen from MR in 2017 and 2018. Let's see when these guys take over how much we run the ball. I think some of these top receivers that have decided to go elsewhere are doing so because they know we will not go 4 or 5 wide at receiver the entire game.

  5. I hate to say it, but Mike Leach was the only person mentioned in the article that addressed the actual problem. Get rid of that TV official and I bet the games will speed up to the mark they want. I laugh when the refs announce that a timeout will be a 30 second timeout because it doesn't matter, the network is going to go to a 2 minute commercial break either way.

  6. I agree with you redux. There will be no firing, it'll be a retirement type of situation. If he was going to retire at this point I personally think he would've done it or announced that by now. Let's just hope that when he does, there is someone worth a darn waiting to take over.

    He'll get us a conference championship, retire, then SE will promote Banker or Langsdorf to head coach 3 days before announcing he's leaving to take the AD vacancy at Wisconsin.

  7. I hope the O coaches get creative over the off season. Maybe it will help getting a pocket passer QB I don't know. :dunno

     

    That still doesn't excuse how they utilized Tommy the last two years. I just don't understand why we didn't see more sprint out and bootleg passes to get Tommy on the run and take away half the field. It's not like they are foreign to a Pro/West Coast offense.

    There was a time when Charlie McBride drew the fans ire like Banker is now.Banker and Riley said they wanted to run a 3-4 defense when they first got here but we'd have to wait because we didn't have the bodies to make it work yet. (paraphrasing)

    Yeah, I don't think that's what they said.

     

    If that's what they've always wanted to run, they would have been doing that at Oregon State.

     

    I didn't say that.

     

    And I did read that they wanted to run a 3-4 but we didn't have enough linebackers. I'm 99% positive it was talked about briefly here on this board also.

     

    You may have read that but that's an exaggeration based on one comment that Riley said. The quote was something like "We could run a 3-4 which is maybe something we'd like to get back to." That's not nearly the same as saying that's what they really want to run. Especially with Riley talking.

     

    We might not have a lot of linebackers but we have almost nothing for DEs. If they wanted to run a 3-4, this would have been a handy year to do it.

     

    I'm guessing this was about the same time that we convinced ourselves that Riley was going to hire Ed Orgeron and an all-star coaching staff?
