Of course it doesn't, just bellyachers who like to bellyache

Huh? We're talking about a completely non-fictional scenario of exactly this specific player referenced in the OP. He's a high 3* with only Minnesota and Iowa State offers, that at this point can only get upgraded to 4* if he has a really great senior high school season. I don't see why higher...

The premise is a false interpretation of irrelevant facts

2025 Vikings > 2025 Lions, last I checked I have no doubt you'll try to wave your hands again, in some other odd way

That you didn't feel almost the exact same pain after they lost to MSU the year before, proves I'm right. You should have been agonizing "ahhhh why!! It has been 20 years since the last title, noooo!!" but you just admitted you didn't. So the years are irrelevant. An OT loss in the natty game...

People who pay for it don't want a computer to select the matchups, they want control for their money. Is basically what it comes down to. A computer put Alabama and LSU in the national title game, and that was the end of the computer's run.

I disagree we're talking about the same thing. You're referencing a specific game that ended badly. It would have felt just as badly to you even if they had won the natty in 2014.

That's not quite the scenario that would be required for Liebentritt, though? He would have to get upgraded to 4star during/after his senior year, then decommit and re-open his recruitment (all but guaranteeing he would go elsewhere)

They might want to go earlier if the MWC loses the court cases and therefore gets paid less from the Pac 12 than expected, but they did sign a new GoR with the rest of the league schools. Maybe it has an escape clause based on the court outcome? I don't think anyone knows what's in it for sure...

How did you not just prove my point?? You just proved that as the time drags on, it matters less and less, not each year exactly the same (pain) as each additional year before it.

Last four years: 2023 - Addison, top player, Blackmon they traded, Jay Ward still on team 2024 - JJM, complete and total bust, Dallas Turner, likely Pro Bowl talent, Khyree Jackson, sadly died in car crash 2025 - Jackson, OL starter as a rookie, Tai Felton, TBD but probably less chance for...

You must not get out much. Maybe, but actually I'm probably exactly correct. Life is not linear. Trees don't keep growing at a linear rate up into outer space. A piece of cake doesn't keep getting sweeter linearly as you dump more and more sugar into the batter and frosting. Real life is...

It is as false a premise as your made-up definition of success.

You were born after 1991? I guess that's possible, but tough for me to believe because younger people don't use message boards. That's an older person thing. Anyway, it's not difficult to do an objective, head to head comparison: MLB - Twins: no WS appearance in the last 10+ years, Tigers: no...

Also, if the plan really was to bring in an outsider .... why wouldn't you want that person to come do the draft?? Makes no sense Therefore, it should be Rob B, with KOC and Flores obviously doing a lot of the job (already).

KOC quite clearly is just fine with defensive players being drafted. You're not serious if you think that only happened because Kwesi and Rob B overruled him?? Come on. And the draft is but one small part of the season. Free agency, trades, being the head of the overall scouting/talent...

What does a GM actually do that actually earns him the big bucks? I guarantee that there isn't a GM in the NFL, and hasn't been for a long time, that would (dare) openly defy the desires of a head coach (and coordinators) on which players they want. I don't believe for a second there is a GM...

You haven't been a Minnesota sports fan very long if you think moving to the Eastern will do a single thing for the Twolves. How can you not accept that The. Moment. the Twolves move, the Eastern will suddenly become Larry Byrd Celtics, Jordan Bulls, Lebron Cavs/Heat, etc. etc. Guaranteed...

Twolves: 2022-23 - #8 seed had to play the #1 seed Denver in the first round and lost -- Denver ended up winning it all 2023-24 - #3 seed and played #5 Dallas in the conf finals and lost -- Dallas then lost in NBA Finals 2024-25 - #6 seed had to play #1 OKC in the conf finals and lost -- OKC...

Granted I'm benefitting from what has since come out the rest of the week, but it is interesting that Phillips then came out in support of the 24 team playoff as a league. It makes too much sense for all of the other leagues to throw in with the Big Ten behind the 24 .... it gives everyone more...
