Love that for Thielen!! Crazy 4th quarter. Will definitely be rooting for Thielen and the Steelers in the AFC. Pains me to think of what could have been. Rodgers playing awesome, even ran for a first down earlier. Our roster and especially defense playing better here at the end. I was right...

OK. These are still examples of the portal prior to NIL. So not sure how relevant they are. Nonetheless, I was wrong.

I'll give the coach the benefit of the doubt. Seems like an impossible and unfair metric. You could claim that all player development at all places was just due to acclimatization rather than coaching. If it hasn't been good over that time, then why didn't he get fired in 2023? 2024? Didn't he...

6-11 with our SOS would've put as at #9? Be interesting to see who is selected 9-17 this year

How do we afford a QB who is good enough to be a starter, as well as convince him to come here where it is not certain that he will be a starter?

And then he developed him into the bowl game offensive MVP. Did you watch the game? Some fantastic catches. It's a massive league, competing with OSU, Oregon, etc. to make All-Conf. Are you saying that a Big Ten WR coach should be fired if they don't get an All-Conf receiver? That's going to be...

Apologies I missed your great post from before. Thanks for making it! Appreciate the effort on long posts like these. Point taken on 2023, I was wrong. Also looks like JMU beat Troy early in the year, so the rematch would have been interesting. Team that lost first usually has an advantage in a...

You must be looking at the wrong box score. 14/23 182 7.9 0 0 0-0 85.8

Jalen Smith went from a guy who was inconsistent, too many drops ... to the Rate Bowl Offensive MVP. Wonder if he'll transfer to go with Simon? I liked Brockington too, great blocker for sure. Will be interesting to see if he gets to a fall camp in the league.

Great post. I'm pretty much onboard with it. It's interesting what you say "MN is probably offering a value based on 2025". As in, we already did make an offer to Koi, based on XYZ factors, for $X million. And he, his rep, his entourage/camp, decided that number wasn't good enough. I wonder if...

Well, these stats don't actually prove that they were guys stuck on the bench who weren't playing. But anyway, all of those were before this new era of NIL portal. I truly think there has been a fundamental shift in the portal.

The two biggest issues with the offense this year were OL and the overall play selection. So naturally, Fleck scapegoats Simon. :ROFLMAO: I guess he'll have to develop NFL wide receivers elsewhere!

Against a preseason defense ...

LOL That's the kind of thing that makes everyone thing it's rigged. There's no way ...

- I'd have no problem getting rid of KAM, but wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he's back. He has now most likely hit, and maybe hit big, on Turner. He did in fact hit huge on the 2024 free agents, even though they were injured a lot this year, possibly being one of the main reasons we...
