not me

Transfer portal with the new coach is going to make for an eventful winter.

So, North Dakota ball?

Frost is a bottom 5 power 5 coach, an average coach will have better results and have us bowling every year if we can maintain top 25 recruiting, which I think we can with "NIL"

Thank god Frost is terrible and not just mediocre. We'd be doomed to him for a decade plus.

The easier schedule this year was one of the main reasons I wanted a Frost gone last year. Would have been a good opportunity for a new coach to reach a bowl game and start building success. Too bad we wasted it and another year of our lives.

Concerns on both lines were accurate

Thanks for working it out. I figured it was possible, but hadn't done the work to draw up a possible schedule. I like getting a repeatable schedule like this because it lets us play everyone regularly and have opportunities to go to away games against all the teams in the conference as a fan. You can rework the groupings for the 8 alternative teams every 4 years after you get a full set of Home-Away as well.

Interesting, I'd think they'd still rather have 9 games than 8 though. Also those non permanent teams you still see every other year or 2 out of 4, so they'd get the less common match ups just as often still.

I saw a lot of talk about the 3-5-5 model, wouldn't a 5-4-4 model also be possible if they want to keep 9 conference games? You'd get a lot more permanent match ups and the TV contracts would still be happy with the 9 games.

The boosters wanting to keep Frost more than win also struck a big blow to my hopes that we will ever be relevant again. They definitely want the gold old days back more than they want to do what it takes to compete now.

It'd be tied for the best season in the last 5 years.

I feel pretty decent about the off season additions, so I'm feeling a little more optimistic. Thinking 5-7 at this point.

Iowa is terrible at running the ball as well. This is us sucking more than it being a strength for them.

I think people in general are more delusional than dishonest. Also, 3 isn't exactly right though for how a lot of people feel. They care about winning, they just care more about the good old boy being coach.
