In fairness to Coyle, invisibility is still a better look than his press conference debacle when he fired Whalen. Nice to have an AD who is embarrassingly absent, but also so ineloquent that his absence is better than the alternative.

Frost had the Gardenhire problem. A modest level of sustained success paired with a feeling of stagnation that had fans feeling like we were never going to get over the hump (the big difference is Frost has been to the top of the mountain, and I think I weigh that more heavily than many on...

I dont think it should be a penalty at all if a defender is coming in low and leading with the shoulder and the ball carrier/receiver drops his head or stumbles head first into the hit. A penalty should exist to either deter deliberate (or at least careless) wrongful conduct or to compensate a...

Went with a B. Won't give an A to a tenure that doesn't win a national championship at the U for hockey. Seems like he did everything but that. Multiple frozen fours, conference championships, and a conference tourney title. Very good run that fell short of the mountain top.

They are a paper tiger who has just benefited from an easy schedule. Haven't beaten anyone. Am I doing this right?

Encouraging signs and reasonably pleased by the new coach's performance in his first year, but ive fallen for fools gold too often to be satisfied with a season where the biggest positive is "reasons the future looks bright "

If Coyle gives a press conference to announce he is leaving for the Kentucky job, the press conference will end and we will think he told us he is the new Duke lacrosse coach.

You're right, thats its. That's why Indiana had the number one ranked recruiting class for both freshman and transfers, and once everyone got a look at the roster they bought, the Hoosiers started last season as the heavy betting favorites to win the CFP. That's what happened, right?

Murphy playing well in the Olympics!

It will be a reality shock for Bison fans who wont be able to delude themselves into thinking they could have won the CFP if they werent in FCS.

If we considered everyone who would have been picked if they weren't going to the super bowl, and everyone who was invited and declined, as "pro bowlers", what percentage of the leagues starters would be pro bowlers?

Did the previous poster really need to specify that intramural Greek league football or whatever level NDSU plays at isn't what he was talking about?

Imagine how unstoppable Cignetti will be once he learns about nektons.

Signing a transfer QB who is not viewed as a strong Heisman contender, and then utilizing him in a way that makes him a Heisman winner, on the other hand, is a recipe for success.

The idea that Indiana simply bought an elite roster is nonsense. I want to say preseason odds, after everyone saw the roster they "bought", had them as the 23rd most likely team to win the natty. Their recruiting rankings (both high school and transfer) were pretty medicore. Id venture that none...

If he was the preseasin favorite to win the Heisman, your argument would make more sense. But Mendoza was 60-1 to win the Heisman in August. A Heisman winner wasn't bought. Cignetti identified and utilized him. Before the season started, no one was saying "that Arch Manning guy looks good, but...

It should get big enough to allow every SEC in. They proved they are the best conference by qualifying 5 teams for the CFP this year (never mind what those teams did once they got there). I seriously continue to believe every FBS conference champion (even G6) should get an auto bid. I would...

Handled Illinois pretty well!

If I remember right, there was some discussion about a similar issue when Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl and the Vikings were one win away from playing in it.

After Indiana bought the best roster in the country, shouldn't they have been all over this? Or is it possible that that narrative only developed after too many wins against good teams forced skeptics to abandon the "they havent actually beaten anyone so they aren't that good" narrative?
