+1 When people say we need to pass more and pass better, others respond with a straw man argument that PJ will never run the Mike Leach air raid. If we can run the ball well, we can certainly be a run heavy team. But for that to work, we need to be able to pass the ball efficiently and...

9 wins (can include the bowl game). Would probably be happy with 8 if it includes axe and pig.

Can we delegate the AD's public speaking duties to this new position?

Very well deserved. We have 5 NCAA title banners in our arena, and 2 of them came from the Don.

I'd for sure take Leidner over last years QB performance.

I find "pro sports-style" to be an interesting term to use there. I hear what you are saying as a general observation about the direction of college football, but on this issue, the pro sports leagues all have very cut and dry objective measures for who makes playoffs and how they are seeded...

If you cheat, you deprive everyone of the opportunity to know what would have happened had you not cheated. Accordingly, it is fair to draw every possible inference against the cheaters.

If the fact that our conference schedule includes 9 conference opponents means that 1-8 or 2-7 is a realistic possibility, we are in bad shape. I think we will do much better than that. 4-5 would be mildly disappointing but not alarm bells, 3-6, would be a bad season, anything worse would be...

His style isn't for me, but I don't need a style that is. I care much more about results than style (so long as the style in question isn't ethically, morally, or legally deficient, I'm not saying I'd take results if they came with cheating). Kills style was much more my cup of tea, but Flecks...

+1 This episode is going to make it really bad for the next mid major school that inadvertently commits some minor infraction through negligence.

This isn't a knock on Fleck, he's been the best coach we've had during my time following the team, but "as good as they can expect" feels over the top. I dont accept that coming out of the west division and going to the B1G title game in one of the last several years was some unattainable pie...

Is it still the case the if I don't like Coach Prime, it's because I'm old and I don't get it?

I don't think we are that knee jerk compared to other fan bases. Pitino got a lot of leash. Given his results, Johnson got a lot of leash too.

So does none of the BTN revenue get allocated to hockey? Presumably, those broadcasts are part of the value of the BTN revenue.

This isn't a new standard that only applies to Fleck. In 2015, we won a bowl game to get to 6-7 and that was widely considered to be a disappointing season.

That's harsh on Foster. At least "UCLA is in LA" is a clear, concise, and accurate statement.

I'd like basketball to go to the same pairwise hockey uses. I've always been philosophically opposed to humans making who is in and who is out decisions, but after what the CFP did to FSU last year, I am convinced human committee can't be trusted.

Even with the schedule, it is disheartening to see they think we are more likely to go 2-7 or worse than 4-5 or better. Given where I thought our program was a few years ago, following up last year with a losing B1G season (even a 4-5 one) would be disappointing.

How about a collection of ten Midwest schools for the new regional conference? I'm envisioning mostly large institutions, so we could call it the big ten.

Only resume based metrics should be used for setting the field, no predictive ones. This is competitive sports, you're supposed to get what you earned with your performance up towards this point, not what a spreadsheet thinks you might do tomorrow. It's like minority report, where Tom cruise...
