    Harbaugh Back To His Old Slimy Behavior

    This is absolutely slimy. 1. Harbaugh offered a football scholarship, and kid verbally accepted...to the best of his ability since he cannot sign yet. 2. Kid got injured. Harbaugh saw additional risk of one of his limited roster spots being wasted on an inured player and had recently accepted...

    Bowl Game in Jeopardy?

    Perhaps I've overreacted with recency bias. That said, the Cats were not even competitive in those 2 games...totally outmatched in every phase. Throw in a flukey win against a sleepy Stanford team that laid an egg and a win against a Minny team devastated by injuries....I think the concern is...

    Crispin's Take

    Disagree slightly. I'd replace recruited with inherited. I think Sobo, Tap, and most importantly Olah (as you mentioned) are the main reason CC went zone so often. While BMac may fall into that group, he was a skinny frosh....he's already added muscle and may yet be able to guard man-to-man...

    Difference Between Winners and Losers

    Nice title. What's the Connery quote from The Rock?

    Recipe for failure

    Totally agree. All indicative of poor recruiting, development, and scheming....aka it's on Fitz and the coaches. And yet all we hear about is execution.....maddening.

    Honestly thought you guys would put up more of a fight...

    I get the difference, and you're right in that it's an obvious troll with 1 post. That said, the truth DOES hurt. And, imo, the responses were much more classless than the original post.

    Honestly thought you guys would put up more of a fight...

    Hey the truth hurts, and Schizo and Shakes need thicker skin. Nothing the OP said was unfair, overly mean, or out-of-bounds. Frankly, I'd say the same stuff if the tables were turned. This is two consecutive weeks being completely and totally outclassed in every facet.....let's wear it.

    Where is our "New Kirk"???

    Does Fitz embrace the recruiting disadvantages so much that he actually embraces additional handicaps? I actually wonder if he's so proud of doing things the "right way" that he thinks he can overcome poor player development, vanilla/predictable schemes, passive in-game decisions in addition to...

    "Eff it, let's chuck it downfield"

    I'm pretty sure I saw a study on the NFL a year or two ago that indicated yards-per-attempt was one of the most highly correlated stats to winning. Only throwing short is maddening, even missing out on valuable PI calls. It's obvious that Iowa learned this after the last two years under Greg Davis.

    Seriously, Vault must have major deficiencies that are invisible to non-football coach eyes

    I'm shocked we didn't see one RB screen (at least I don't remember any). It appears both Vault and Jackson have at least above-average hands. That said, I'm not sure we should be expecting rational ideas from this staff. The o-line and WR coaching is abysmal, imo, and even the defense had...

    Preseason publications

    +1 Could not agree more. I stated a year ago that last year's class was so good that Lindsey would have been the best recruit in a typical BC class....I think he's gonna surprise the hell outta people this year. Weak competition I know, but he was posterizing guys in Spain. Also saw multiple...
