This staff has a nose for safeties and defensive backs, generally

Probably popcorn if I had to guess

It took you this long to figure it out? It's not like we used to be Ohio State 10 years ago and we're in a lull we need to climb out of, we've had just about every barrier to success thrown in our way in terms of academic expectations and a university who has put athletics on the backburner for...

"Profiling"

This begs the question, at any particular position and with both players having played the same amount to to this point, would you rather have an average production three star guy with four years in your program or a sometimes boom sometimes bust four star guy transferring in for one season? I...

I'm curious as to what the consequences would be if we oversigned. The NCAA is completely dependent on us agreeing to the administration of their sanctions, they have no enforcement arm. One of the helmet schools will eventually push and/or outright violate these rules at some point (if they...

Agreed. I'd rather have dad than douche mcgee.

Ill Dude could've had an 80 catch season in 2023 if we didn't plop a Katyusha rocket truck behind center that year.

It's a star wars thing, associated with one of the newer streaming shows that came out in the last 5 or so years. It's long winded but if it tickles your fancy it's worth a Google (basically "this is how it is and this how it will always be"). I thought maybe a few would catch it and get a chuckle😁

It could be a good matchup, both teams will have had a couple tune-up games and should have most of the rust knocked off. I'm hopeful Cal is a dumpster fire

I just can't see Lindsey having a worse season than AK in 2023. If he can throw with a little touch and some anticipation (and at least one wr separates himself from the scrum) we should be just fine.

Add to that the consistency of the program internally, and we're more likely than not to be extremely resilient overall if we have struggles at those positions. Especially on defense, I trust the staff to make adjustments to mask or supplement our deficiencies.

100%. Fleck has consistently shown he can do a lot more with less in terms of perceived/"star" talent. A bowl is the expectation and 8 wins should be the baseline. Sans a complete abandoning of the ship, I won't be happy with but can handle a less than competent season if things aren't as great...

If Drake can do around 60% with a 2:1 td/int ratio, we'll be in good shape with how the entire roster is set up. Obviously there are other metrics that would be better indicators of his general success as a QB, but I think those are a reasonable hope for a frosh qb with generally untested...

I love this shit. Bulletin board material for a team that consistently finishes in the top half. Yes, we have question marks, but we have continuity in culture. Look at how often Iowa puts together a roster that looks like shit on paper but they end up being pretty good because you have a coach...

Night games are great aside from the three hour drive home following them

That's exactly what will happen, and you, me, and the rest of us know it. We'll do something like pulling a win out of our asses in the Horseshoe and then allow 250+ rushing yards to Iowa, or lose to Michigan State by 30 and then beat Oregon 27-24. This team is always weird.

The less I have to hear some moron repeatedly bellowing go big red the better

Can you establish your culture with 5 star guys who know they'll be able to make as much money as they want wherever they want? He asks a lot out of the players in terms of things that aren't football related and are typically outside of the scope of what would be encouraged of high level...
