  1. And how long is the contract extension. Keep the guy until he hangs it up.
  2. That is probably my biggest pet peeve with sports highlights these days. "Catch of the year?????" every night from MLB during baseball season. Come on guys.
  3. Great point about people showing up for football no matter the time. People can talk about how football is more important but if it'll be sold out at 11, the AD can try and make more money for the other sports that day with people in town.
  4. I agree, I simply think the AD is trying to show all sports love here. Right or wrong.
  5. Frost ruined him. Have to just hope Rhule can do better! All we can do here.
  6. It's not my choice so no offense taken, and I didn't say I agreed with 11 as I despise morning kickoffs with a passion, I was simply offering an explanation on why it was set then.
  7. The tweet said "softball and baseball play that day" guessing that plays a role. Spring games are your team versus....your team. Nothing to be learned from that, shouldn't read into it ever. Won't know what you've got until the games count.
  8. I don't think it is a terrible strategy at all when you just signed the only 5* QB we can hope to get until we start winning. You roll with him and the other freshman, take your lumps in year 2 of a new coach. There will be lumps, just accept it and let them get experience for '25. The goal this year is a bowl, anything beyond that is gravy.
  9. We weren't that far off from winning 2 games last year. We also weren't far off from winning 8. So the margin of error and success fits right in there!
  10. I don't see Prochazka ever being the guy at LT. He has not been good in the time he has played, when he has been healthy enough to be on the field. I believe he was healthy at the end of the year in 23 and wasn't on the field, that should tell you what the staff feels about him. I am also in the "get HH as as far away from the depth chart as possible" camp. We should be playing DK before putting HH back in, there would be little difference and DK would be getting game reps to improve then. HH should be moved back to the TE room, or even tried at LB maybe. Kid is an athlete, no doubt there, but simply is not a QB. Nothing wrong with that.
  11. I get you're making a point, but you should probably ban yourself for a few days for putting that in writing anyway.
  12. I think Satt gets the benefit of the doubt with that room and gets another year in 24. Thomas is now QB coach, so it'll be interesting to see how they are graded this year.
  13. Jake Peetz - LA Rams https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/10/rams-jake-peetz-coach-assistant-nebraska/
  14. I wouldn't go that far. They will still have a winning record, are really good at home, and have shown progress. The bar is different for basketball than football, I am a fan of keeping Hoiberg around indefinitely. I am just disappointed they couldn't get it done in 2 of the first 3 easier road games (Minny/Iowa/Rutgers) and put themselves in a really good spot for making the tourney. They still have opportunities to get it done, just frustrated here.
  15. Frustrating. I had high hopes with the start but this team simply cannot win in conference on the road. I don't see a scenario where they make the tournament at this rate because they will inevitably drop a couple at home in the last 7. 20 wins won't do it, 22 is the number, and I see needing at least 3-4 road wins to get there.
  16. I am thinking the under at this rate. Kirk seems like he is upset about having to let Brian go, probably thought it was fine winning 9/10 games like they do. I suspect he wants an OC in there that will change very little. He wants to play keep away, keep his defense off the field and play field position. The fans want something more modern/exciting but Kirk doesn't want any part of it. Part of me even wonders if this is a bit of a stand off between him and the AD over the whole thing.
  17. What had DeBoer done for you to doubt him? He has done more than Ryan Day has. Day took over a humming machine and has been a tick down if anything from Meyer. DeBoer has turned losers into winners on a couple of occasions and is like 12-1 against ranked teams. If this is just your guy feeling, great, but the guy has done nothing but win his entire career and I have zero reason to doubt him (yet). I don't think he will be Nick Saban of course, but Dan Lanning and Ryan Day sure aren't either. No one is.
  18. Is that a serious comment? You have to be able to run the ball when needed yes, but you must be able to throw also. Iowa can do neither.
  19. Michigan won because the defense was elite this year.
  20. Especially with the report stating his wife is ill. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot, then to open it and remove all doubt.
