Especially for kids that play starting at a young age, travel ball, camps, etc., it starts to turn into a chore/job for many of them and they lose interest. Watched several kids my son played baseball with fade away for the same reason over the years.

I miss all of the posts/memes about how far Alex Henery could kick. Those were some fun days!

I am just not a fan of revisionist history. Based on what Rhule has said and shown so far, no way does Wagner get hired if he isn’t a good coach in Rhule’s eyes. Yes his recruiting connections are what gave him the opportunity, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t also a heck of a coach. I find it hilarious that after he gets canned for a really dumb mistake, people are spinning it that this is good because his replacement is a better coach without any evidence either way. Martin may very well be a good coach, and I really hope he is and that he is super successful at NU, but to automatically claim the change will result in better coaching without any true evidence is laughable. Before Wagner’s screw up, I don’t recall anyone claiming Martin should be the man over him.

This narrative needs to stop. Wagner is a HS coaching legend in Texas. You don’t win as many games as he did without knowing how to coach.

The schedule was changed as they are having special coverage of the Oregon and Washington adds

To be fair, other coaches did the Navy Seal training thing, including Bo during one of the better years since TO retired.

Exactly, exhausting isn’t it?

That POV ignores the level of talent identification in the hiring manager. Hiring the good talent is largely on the hiring manager to properly evaluate the talent of the candidates. So many times I have seen other fellow department heads make bad hires simply because the resume looks good, trusted a single reference, or was slightly desperate to fill a position even though hiring the wrong person is worse than not hiring someone at all. MR has a pretty good track record at making good hires, he is starting to show an impressive coaching tree. SF didn’t really have a track record in making hires, people assumed his 1st set of hires were good because they worked at UCF, but SF didn’t show an ability to hire P5 coaches before coming to NU where as MR clearly has. Don’t get blinded by the candidate and everyone’s perceived shortcomings without actually factoring in the person making the hire and that person’s track record for making good hires.

Ahhh got it, thanks!

I’ll bite, what exactly do his hand symbols mean?

2022 signee, so a 4 to play 4 guy?

Sooooooo do you disagree?

He does have 13 power 5 offers so the coaches watching film must have a different take than you.

He couldn't throw in the Spring and thus wouldn't be able to go to a new program and try and earn a starting spot in Spring Ball. Better to wait, get his surgery, rehab, watch other teams to see where a QB is a dire need and plot out his transfer now fully healthy and ready to compete over the summer for a starting spot at a school that really needs him.

Well considering that the Red O has 3 turnovers and put their D in bad situations, the #1 D is playing pretty well.

If that was from the scrimmage, which I assume it was, the QB’s were live despite wearing green jerseys. Maybe Gifford was just conditioned by the green jerseys?

Not really, she was asked about it constantly and finally answered it. She wouldn’t have mentioned it had the press not brought it up. That is the whole point. The press didn’t bring it up to Clark when she did the same thing to South Carolina the game prior, either it isn’t an issue, which frankly it shouldn’t be, or if it is, the. Be consistent about it.

Come on Hooked, you’re better than this. You’re supposed to post your Microsoft Paint stadium renderings with the corn stalks around the field, the red turf, and the Southend redesign.

He very well could be, but I think he is going to have to be willing to run a lot more than he has shown to stay in the hunt. Rhule and Co. clearly value the QB run game a lot.

There isn’t a time limit on the ceremony during the Spring Game, they are limited by TV during regular games.

Nah, I am much hairier than that guy.

I am confused, why did he take his photo? I thought Tommi was suspended.

Gary Sharpe on 1620 has been hinting/talking about Sallis and lately has been making veiled comments about Hepburn potentially leaving Wisky also, though he hasn’t made the link to NU like he did for Sallis. He is pretty tuned in so I have to assume there is some smoke for both of them, not sure on Traudt.
