True, but the high-buck guys were very critical of the union's negotiating strategy as the lockout/strkes rolled on. They just couldn't do anything about it.

I remember during both the pro baseball and pro football strikes/lockdowns that the big money guys were telling union leadership "we have to get back on the field" but those guys weren't usually the union representative for their team and were summarily told to sit down and shut up. All the...

I don't think the age thing matters that much. Pat Fitzgerald was just a couple years older when he manned a similar position for his alma mater. Only difference is Fitzgerald worked at three other schools prior to returning to Northwestern to coach DBs and then LBs shortly after (GA one year...

Robb Smith is still in the business as a defensive analyst for Penn State. I hope he has learned the importance of containing the edge (which he didn't do well at here). After leaving here, he was an analyst at Texas A&M for one year, defensive coordinator at Rutgers for two years, and...

Bummer. Hope they keep somewhat the same scheme and the aggressiveness Hetherman instilled.

I am in my 70s and realize that the game is played far differently from the game I watched growing up, but what the f*ck is the Texas DC thinking of there? A firehouse blitz? What could possibly go wrong?

He's coming in as a grad transfer and that usually (one has to couch things with all the current interpretations of eligibility) means one season.

Allar appears to be in a long line of Penn State QBs that have a ton of physical ability but lack a piece or two that prevents them from being top-drawer performers. He's like Hackenberg Part Two. Great game, but man I can't stand Notre Dame.

Great concept although if it was marketed by ESPN, two SEC teams would be Park Place and Boardwalk. Big 10 would probably get "Go Directly to Jail."

Thanks to all who chimed in on my question regarding replacing Henderson in the defensive scheme. I thought of some of the same names--particularly Perich--but some of you added to that list. I think it's an important position in the defensive scheme. Henderson wasn't a perfect player, but...

I thought Bryson might have been a candidate to replace Henderson in the defensive set. Who do we currently have on the roster to slot in at that position. The current set of safeties look to be too small to play that particular role.

Is he eligible to play for the baseball team this spring?

I'm old and while what you are describing is the situation now, in the 1970s, a lot of high school graduates went to junior college to actually get credits and not just simply make themselves eligible to enroll in a higher-level program. Community College/Junior College has really changed a lot...

Not that much different than a lot of divorces one reads about where the one spouse says "I love you, but I just can't live with you." I'm not a cynic, but a lot these announcements strike me as "Sorry. Not Sorry." I frankly don't know why some of the players who enter the portal even bother...

Just looked it up. We won every game (4) when Taylor went over 100. Lost 3 of 4 when he was held below 50. 2-1 when he went between 50 and 100. Didn't play against North Carolina. We passed much better this year, but when we didn't run well, we didn't win. That's why I was a bit...

Didn't someone in the national media have us at well below .500?

Gave a B. Brosmer showed the value in having consistent QB play. Not spectacular, but steady and that's been missing a bit. Lots of close games. Won a couple they could have lost and lost a couple they could have won. Lots of wouldas and couldas. I was expecting a bit more out of the...

Remember former NBA star World B. Free, whose nickname was "The Prince of Mid-Air." Well, with my negative vertical jump, I am "The Prince of Middle Earth." I'm guessing no one will be offering me the chance to use up my eligibility. This is all getting way too crazy. NCAA could have gotten...

Go to junior college and play for seven!

We really haven't had great deep threats on the outside since the Bateman/Johnson/Autman-Bell set. While there were more deep balls thrown by Morgan with that group, we still didn't go down the field a whole lot. The deep ball just hasn't been part of Fleck's offensive strategy. He seems to...
