Yeah, Holgorsen's just being a grumpy old bastard. He also made a derogatory comment about the food scene in Birmingham, “The food could have been a little better.”. Well damn, your Royal Highness. :rolleyes: Not a great way to go about winning friends and influencing people.

Right? Kid's got some brain power too with the Dartmouth offer.

Nice! Welcome, Ashton!

I can't really argue with his reasoning here, as Purdue suffered no 'bad' losses, while their quality wins (vs. 8-0, #3 MSU and 6-0, #2 Iowa) were very, very impressive at the time and still resonate today.

Well I'm just gonna go ahead and blame that on you then!

Hmmmm. A somewhat less than compelling matchup. Ahhh well, is what it is. Now we've just got to go down there and beat the living daylights out of them.

Wow. That is some hellacious production for a defensive tackle.

Interesting. Had started 24 consecutive games at C and graded out quite well in those, and being named one of four team captains certainly speaks to his character. You just have to wonder how his recovery and rehab from the knee surgery are coming along, but his entry into the portal is at the...

Congrats to all our linemen. They really worked hard to get to where they're at. I'm a little bit surprised to see Jake Ferguson beating out Austin Allen for 1st team All B10, as Allen is about a beast as a route runner and pass catcher (and what a target!), but I'm guessing that Ferguson must...

I rate this season as being a solid B. It's crazy how much the win over Wisconsin changed things for me, as prior to that victory, I was feeling mightily disappointed with this season such that I'd have graded it at about a very low C or even D level. But that win, oh my God, what a breath of...

True, but Leonhard has done that year after year after year, and as compared to 'Bama or Ohio State or any of the other blue-blood elites, he's done it with largely 3 star (or lower) recruits. That, along with a healthy dose of walk-on players. In my opinion, he's the best defensive coordinator...

Oh my God I'd LOVE for them (or anyone) to take Leonhard! Get him and that bad-ass defense out of Wisconsin. RE: Fleck to ND, I'd just have a really, really hard time imagining that. They are so steeped in football reverence and tradition, and I believe they'd view Fleck's whole 'Row the Boat'...

Losing our Homecoming game to a 31 point underdog was one of the worst losses in program history. Seriously. I was at the Dump back in 1983 when we were on the wrong end of an 84-13 score, and this season's debacle against BG hurt worse than that. It was an absolutely devastating and...

Heck yeah. Go for it.

It looks like a metallic maroon, and I totally agree. That uniform looks sharp as hell.

No, I wouldn't, and certainly not at the rate he's being compensated. I hoped, prayed and expected for far better than this from Fleck, but other than that one very special season when we had NFL caliber talent on both sides of the ball, his tenure to me has been 'meh' at best. Just spinning...

Matt Lubick is a highly creative and seriously good offensive football coach, particularly as pertains to the passing game. Given our own offensive difficulties, it'd be a pretty tantalizing prospect to give him a call after the season if we decided to move on from Sanford or Sanford from us.

It strikes me as being very odd that they're firing all those offensive coaches despite being ranked 19th in total offense in all of D1 football. What am I missing here?

It is a thing, teams that start to believe in their hype or their headlines, teams that become overly confident and/or cocky in themselves, teams that just straight up overlook supposedly lesser opponents, and that overconfidence compounded all the further by playing at home, to where they get...

Agree. The staff is entirely responsible for the product and performance out there on the field, and fans have every right to be upset when a team lays not just one but two giant eggs at home over the course of a season. That's just incredibly dispiriting, and if we're ever going to truly...
