I thought campus security was supposed to stop muggings. The O DB was all over Smith.

FIRST DOWN!!!!!!

Speed differential is frightening.

I don't know what the term would be, but Fleck and company do a pretty job of identifying "risers" early in the process. That can get guys to commit before they have other offers, but the challenge is keeping them in the fold. If Jilek wants to play TE, that wasn't going to happen here with...

I want to differentiate a bit about the word "schtick" and I hope I'm not nitpicking because I agree with what you have written. I think Fleck has a "schtick" in a positive sense to help explain to the public his view of the world and his place in it. The slogans--which are often taken by his...

I think QB depth is going to be a challenge for every program. Offensive skilled-position guys (QB, WR, RB) want the ball in their hands and they'll likely figure out after a season (red-shirt or not) whether they are going to get the ball enough and make their decision as to stay or transfer...

The reason they insist on a parachute of any color is precisely due to the situation Kelly finds himself in. There a ton of variables (LSU and the rest of the SEC probably have a few more than most) that can lead to a mess like this one. Of course, Kelly came from a pressure cooker so as...

Every mensch a king.

I really laugh at the Governor getting involved. I am only half kidding when I say I wouldn't be surprised if he created a new state agency: The Department of Football.

I had similar thoughts at first, but after I took a step back and thought about it it's really not such a big deal or deviation from what should be a sound strategy in the portal era. It used to be that you had a recruiting class (of varying levels of success) and you could count on those guys...

In a way, I met Jerry Burns. My daughters attended the International School of Minnesota which was located just south of Highway 62 and just east of the 494 ramps. I was in a hurry to pick them up one day and was tooling down 62 at a pretty good clip. The driver ahead of me was driving about...

You'd have to get the whole gameplan in a single seance. If you had to perform a seance between plays, I think you'd get a ton of delay-of-game penalties. Of course, if you did have a seance, you could probably get Burnsie in the conversation as well.

Mattel Talking Football.

One would think so depending upon when the were enrolled in the JUCO ranks. I've given up trying to figure out what the courts will do, but when in doubt it usually leans toward more eligibility. I think back to when the NCAA screwed up Marcus Carr's eligibility.

Really difficult to get an overall read from this game. It's like the football team's game against Northwestern State. Difference is Medved can only go so deep. I missed the first half. They've looked sloppy at junctures which may be attributed to Medved trying different combinations. As...

Thanks. Clears that up. I guess the Northwestern coaching staff didn't meet the undergraduates stringent entrance requirements.

I just found out that the USC back-up QB switched jerseys with the USC punter when they ran the fake punt that resulted in a first down. If there isn't a rule about that, there certainly should be one. Seems like really unsportsmanlike conduct.

For some reason, Northwestern consistenty performs above their level of raw athlectism. It's the opposite for USC. As we saw last night, once USC put the car in drive, they pretty much blew Northwestern off the field. What I worry about in our game against Northwestern is that Komolafe will...

I think that also fits in the playing time narrative. If a kid believes he was under-recruited, he may choose a program where he is going to see the field early in his career and hopefully perform at a level that will entice higher-level programs to seek him out as a transfer. In the current...

Can't prove the negative, but Johnson may have had a tournament team if Christie, Payne, and Hawkins had stuck around. To your other point, Medved has a much stronger track record than Johnson did and also has a more firm idea of the system he wants to run. My point about Wisconsin is that...
