Wife and I will be there

A pet peeve of mine with coaches/fans/scouts/analysts is with the over-emphasis on “measurables” with quarterbacks and wide receivers. What I mean by are the following: Size, speed, strength, quickness, vertical jump, (arm/passing strength for QBs). There are two other things that matter...

😂😂

Not sure what games you watched this year, but Potts was Potts only excelled at stutter-steps (going nowhere) or losing yards running sideways. He had a rough year. Not sure what you were watching this past year.

Cooper shouldn’t be shooting at all? Did you look at the shooting stats for Garcia and Battle? Cooper had to shoot because those two couldn’t even find the rim.

Announcers said it wasn’t the crown of the helmet used as the tackler didn’t lower his head on the hit. However, in my mind it could have done similar damage given the blow was still to AK’s head.

Well, that’s a bummer to hear. The over-evaluation of “measurables” with wideouts has always bugged me. I don’t care how fast he can run (Troy Williamson), how high he can jump, how much he can bench, even how well he can run routes etc., if he doesn’t flat-out catch the ball like he has glue...

Great hands should be the #1 requirement. If someone has to go, I hope it’s MBS, as he did not display great hands this season.

What a crazy good game by AK. He looked awful at times last week, but completely changed my view of him with this game. I was mostly concerned about his accuracy after he missed open receivers badly last week on several occasions. Not today! He definitely deserves an A rating. Not only...

Good point. He has been pretty consistent, and he’s good for yards-after-catch. Tough, though, that our only consistent receiver is 5’8” tall.

Thank you. I’ve come down off the ledge. I really hope it was early-play jitters and that he will settle down and at least make the “easy” throws he missed in that game.

AK looked absolutely awful passing in the Northwestern game. Even the announcers seemed surprised at how badly he was missing open receivers and they commented on that more than once. Those of you who didn’t notice this must have been fixated on your bag of popcorn and can of beer because it...

Can this guy catch a pass? If he can, he’s got a leg up on our current stable of fumbling and bumbling receivers. Sorry I’m being so negative, but CAB was really our only legitimate BIG10 receiver. That was a HUGE loss. Puzzling to me how Fleck hasn’t been able to recruit better in this...

Ky Thomas is a lot of good things, but really fast is not one of them. You must not have watched him get caught from behind during the bowl game when he had a lot of daylight to the end zone. I’d be surprised if Thomas com could run a 4.5 or 4.6. 40.

One thing this is telling me is that the “second tier” Minnesota high school recruits are pretty good too. If you miss out on the Suggs and Hurts and Jones, you can win with the next bunch. I’m not saying Pitino completely ignored them, but I think Ben knows there are a lot of good options...

I’m in shock-the good kind. Like another poster here, I was roped into a social event and missed the game. When I snuck out to check the score, I thought I was experiencing dyslexia. Did this bunch just beat Michigan? On the road? Unbelievable! Except now, people better start...

I may have missed something, but I’m puzzled by all the talk about Zach and Clark competing for the starting job with Tanner. Didn’t they both enter the transfer portal?

The team’s performance has confirmed what I’ve always thought: 1. A group of good shooters who are coachable/smart players are better than a bunch of freak athletes who can’t shoot. Pitino regularly recruited the latter. 2. Couple players who fit the first description with great coaching...

Both is what plays for blue bloods. We have to choose, at least for now. In the past we chose athletes over shooters. I vote we choose shooting over athleticism. Defense + shooting + smart play = more wins. Guys that can jump but can’t shoot are only good for slam dunk contests. I...

This. No more bricklayers, please.
