Pretty sure there is or will be one within the football facilities somewhere now, come spring or summer.

Many of the heavy hitters on the 2019 team PJ inherited from Kill/Claeys. Mason was instrumental in getting a stadium on campus but did not have the benefit of playing on campus. Maybe we just spend a little more money and put 5 guys up there.

You want an answer? Okay, pappy, think of it as colors. There's black, and there's white, and in between is mostly gray. That's us. Now gray is a tough color, because it's not as simple as black and white - and for the media, certainly not as interesting. But... it's what we are. Al Pacino...

I'm not calling the 7 and 0 home record sad. It's a nice piece of trivia...we beat Nebraska for the 7th time in a row. That excites me! We were not expected to do so by most. The other wins would have been upsets by our opponents and we still struggled to get it done in most of them. What...

You share the writers optimism evidently....my analysis doesn't match his.

From the Athletic: :oops:

On the surface I agree 100%. But when you look at who we beat to accomplish it...I also don't think it is worthy of outsized hyperbole as a significant look at us accomplishment.

Ya, I didn't give it any thought. It makes sense we routinely play 7 homes games but I spaced out. So, with an opportunity almost every year it should happen more often we win all our home games. Now, gone to kinda sad when you look at who we beat to go 7 and 0.

Thanks! I used to go practices when there was more of them and better communication when they were. But, still...feeling dumb I hadn't recognized this. Thanks for the info!

Probably from another source...an excerpt of it.... They came out fired up Wednesday, led by dominating center Chadrack Mpoyi, who had one of his best games of the season scoring 30 points. Jacob Majok was also outstanding scoring 18 points. Caden Jones scored 12 points and Nick Giarrusso 10...

This is a case where it seems like he should have gotten the ruling from the NCAA without having to back door his way in. Happy for him...not confident their new coach is going to do well however.

As well as we did in recruiting for us this past cycle...there are still 7 other Big Ten teams who recruited better. Any list where we are ahead of the National Champions in recruiting probably means there is more to it than that.

Mobility...he can become more agile in the pocket...slide, move up, move laterally in the pocket more instinctively, gracefully. My question is: he played with a very bulky knee brace...was he completely healthy last year? If he can get more confident with his legs he'll become more nimble...

The 7 and 0 at home for the first time since 1931 is a bit of hyperbole...how many seasons since 1950...so 75 years...has any team played 7 home games? Doesn't happen often I'm guessing...or has it? Not to be lost... 7 and 0 at home is definitely cool!
