Your first and only claim was that Casey is making throws we haven't seen in years. And you cherrypicked examples, so I cherrypicked examples of the same types of throws from literally only last year. You don't need to try and come up with a half dozen other tangent talking points about how they're different or whatever different point you're trying to get to now, as I wasn't addressing any of that. Only the specific point that we have never seen those throws before.

It's hard to know, but on principle I'm always skeptical of coaches who had a miraculous year 2 and then weren't around long enough to see if it was a fluke or not. Gene Chizik went 14-0 in year 2 at Auburn.

Absolutely. Frost was great at developing a lethal quarterback run game with Adrian, but that was far too much out of necessity not having the development/talent at the RB position to lean on. Both quarterbacks have had to deal with god awful lines, and while Casey has the benefit of Grant, Adrian had the benefit of much greater escapability. They're overall remarkably similar in terms of their physical ability throwing the ball - the best thing Casey has had going for him is better decision making, and even that isn't all that drastic but it is absolutely an edge. Basically all I'm saying is that it doesn't take being down on the former guys to appreciate the current guy.

While I think your criticisms are wildly overblown (essentially a tiny but loud minority of young people and college students caring about something too much), I'll take going too far in the direction of something like differences in gender/sex than too far in the direction of a fascist authoritarian nation state, gun flagellation and ruining our planet for money any day.

Casey's playing well, but there's no reason to overstate this to the point of being pure fiction. I've timestamped some similar throws. Perfect sideline pass? Quick strike to a streaking tight end? Thrown to a spot for the receiver to catch and run? Long balls put in the perfect spot?

Are you suggesting that you don't believe people get paid to speak at colleges...? Who's doing these two things?

Here's your answer. The coach who can get us to top 20 finishes with top 50 talent is the coach who can recruit top 15 classes here.

Losing has nothing to do with fight.

lol what Whipple is not an interim OC.

He was voted the 2nd most underrated coach in the country in a poll of head coaches the year before we hired him.

It really seems like "YES!" after a 10 minute delay on a good play is all he says anymore.

Every coach who's ever had a successful career had one place give them a chance before anyone else did. "If Mike Kryzewski was such a great coach in 1975 he would've gotten hired by somewhere better than Army." See how dumb that sounds?

People want to equate it with the Big XII North and that's just not true. The B1G West has been the 3rd best division in college football for most of the last 5-6 years behind the SEC West and B1G East.

I never liked him because I always got the sense he was a grifter coasting off of one single moment when he was 18 years old for the rest of his life. I was glad he was around in a utilitarian sense to help seal the deal with Frost, and he used to actually be a pretty good color guy, but he wore out his welcome about a decade ago.

The west is obviously not comparable to the east, but it's been a strong division. It's just down this year specifically. Last year you had Iowa through Purdue all with 9 wins or better, during the COVID year NW and Iowa finished #10 and #15, and the year before it was #11 Wisconsin, #10 Minnesota and #15 Iowa.

Gina Carano wasn't technically let go - she wasn't currently doing any work for Lucasfilm since Mando had already wrapped shooting, they just decided not to bring her back and then grandstanded about it. But it also wasn't because of those one or two tweets, those were the straw that broke the back at the end of pieces slowly building. Regardless, she's a much better example (though still a bad one, as all celebrities are) of cancel culture than Chappelle is.

Just a few from a quick search session: Will Healey went from FCS Austin Peay to FBS Charlotte and has gone 7-6, 2-4, 5-7, and 1-5 so far this year. Mike Houston had massive success in DII and FCS and has gone 4-8, 3-6, 7-5, and 3-2 at East Carolina. Hal Mumme went from Valdosta State to Kentucky and ended with a 20-26 record in the 90s. Then he did it again going from Southeastern Louisiana to New Mexico State where he went 11-38. Dino Babers has had middling success at Bowling Green and then Syracuse. Same with Willie Fritz. Everett Withers, Mike London, Rich Ellerson, Bobby Johnson are some others

He was obviously trending down. It's surprising that Wisconsin's AD was actually aggressive in this, and that it was so early, but this is essentially their version of firing Solich. Probably done too soon, but would've eventually gotten there either way.

Busch had our guys playing fast and loose and aggressive to great success, especially in the secondary - even when they completed passes we were glued to them. Great to watch. Honestly looked like a completely different ball team - that's how you use a bye week to get right.

Groupthink and mob mentalities have always existed. The efficiency of how successfully the mob is able to dramatically ruin people's livelihoods/privacy/peace is dramatically increased, and that is something we need to figure out how to handle. Shrugging it off as having always been a thing isn't useful. That's like not caring to make cars safer and drivers education better because we've always traveled distances with horses/buggies/etc. Yes we're doing the 'same' things, but the tools have changed and learning how to safely use the tools is the important part.

The ability to gather and coordinate and harass at scale is something new with the emergence of social media, and there are plenty of easy examples to look at to realize it is a real phenomenon that isn't just a meritocracy of consequences.

He didn't turn on his country. He served his country by revealing how the government had turned on its country. And choosing between either having some modicum of freedom for the second half of your life versus being locked away forever for doing the right thing is an easy choice and the same one you and I would make.

Dave Chappelle is still getting $50 million standup special deals. Cancel culture is a real thing that is more prominent on the left (because the left has essentially won the culture wars) but god damn do right-sympathizing folks make it hard to talk about by strawman-ing and overblowing the issue at every turn.

Lance Leipold, who is in his 16th season as a head coach and has shown essentially across three different divisions that he has what it takes to be successful and build a program from ashes, has a body of work that's "too small", but Dave Aranda, four games into year three as a head coach taking over a winning program, is a satisfiable candidate. uh.. ok
