I don't think the call was right, and was as upset as anyone when it got made. But as someone pointed out, we got points on a drive where we got away with an obvious hands to the face. Kind of like when we get to the end of the year and people say "we were three plays away from three more...

I was happy with the way the team played in the second half, was super excited for a chance to tie or win at the end, and frustrated that the refs blew the call. That said, if 5 games in, the highlight of our season is that we played one good half that causes us only lose a tough road game by a...

Massive win! Nice to start of the conference season with a win against a top opponent. I every sport, I really hate losing to Wisconsin.

The inconsistency comes when he identifies specific deficiencies in others (even though he avoids mentioning them by name) but never any similar deficiencies with his own work (aside for the platitude "it's all on me."). Sure, the missed tackles were a problem in the loss. But, what were the...

Isn't it the same? Claeys/Kill/Horton: 4 Iowa, 0 Wisconsin. Fleck: 1 Iowa, 3 Wisconsin.

Everyone poops.

Going in, I assumed we'd best RI and Nevada, and thought we should beat NC. Almost went with worse than expected, but we were dominant enough in the last two that I went with about where I'd expected. Dropping to 2-2 would be disappointing, but I think we will beat Iowa at home. If I'm being...

It wasn't just that some people thought he was a great hire. It was how sanctimonious they were about people who thought he was an awful hire.

I hope that doesn't get him benched.

I generally consider a good team to be one that is better than .500 (in conference) in a major conference, or a ranked mid major team. Might need to recalibrate now that the P5 seems to be splitting into tiers (Big 12 doesn't really feel like a power conference anymore).

Who was that Michigan guy several years back who seemed to play about half the positions on the field (defense, offense, and special teams)? Even if not as effective as that player, do we think in the long run Koi could be used similarly? A guy who can impact all three phases? As much as I...

My aging body will appreciate being able to spread out the celebrations for winning those two trophies.

I don't understand.....is the Louis Vuitton on back order?

It's an A in an easy class. It's a team we were supposed to thump, and we thumped them. Zero complaints.

Of all of my concerns with his coaching, the figures of speech he uses with his team are not among them. He can go back to reading Everyone Poops if he can have this season resemble 2019 more than it resembles 2023.

The defense game up 252 yards, 3.9 yards per play, only one touchdown and 19 points against, and set up one of our touchdowns by spotting our offense the ball inside the 10. Yes, missed tackles are a problem, and I hope they clean that up so that we are even more effective going forward. But of...

My issue with "it's all on me" is that he says that as a general statement, but then any specific analysis of what went wrong always seems to be exclusively player issues, without any reflection on what he could have done differently with his plan. It feels like he is trying to superficially...

That bold part is the key. If you want to be a run heavy team, that's fine. You can succeed that way. But other coaches are going to know you are run heavy and stack the box (and good teams will be able to stop the run by doing that). You need to be able to take advantage and punish them with...

He gets defensive really quickly. That's not new. I remember a few years back, when the narrative was he couldn't perform in big games because of his poor record in prime time games, he gave an interview where he said something that was basically saying that while he didn't agree with that...

Holy straw man! People aren't asking for the air raid offense.
