    Tuck is…

    The MSU administration did not know the scope of the allegations. Per Title IX rules, the details of an open investigation are not revealed to the accused’s bosses. So, unlike NU administration (a bunch of 🤡), MSU’s admin actually did not learn about this until it was leaked to the press.

    Illinois Gives Lovie a Contract Extension

    I agree with this if his buyout is unchanged, but as far as I know that info isn’t public yet, right? Also what’s the incentive for Lovie to sign an extension that doesn’t change any of the terms of his contract if he really thinks he’s making progress and the team will be better next year...

    We're getting way more respect than last year despite an additional loss

    Interesting point, but I think that has more to do with the other teams around the country than NU. There are some good teams right now at 1-8, maybe 1-10 but after that it’s a mess. For example, Syracuse was ranked #12 despite being 7-2 with just one win over an opponent with a winning record...

    Would you prefer to beat ND or have Iowa lose to Purdue Next Weekend?

    Can someone who voted for Purdue over Iowa please explain why? Even if Iowa wins we still control the West the following week by beating them.

    Second-half thread for NU vs. Rutgers

    I feel like everyone in the world except Fitz understands this basic concept: If you do not change anything, you can not expect different results. #FireMcCall

    This Rutgers game scares me

    Do we need to remind you that two years ago we scored 7 points at home and lost 9-7 to Illinois State? There is no team so awful that NU can’t lose to them.

    Calm down

    Sorry, I can’t tell if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with anything there. I think you’re agreeing that it’s a losing strategy, but you seem indifferent. Care to clarify? I agree with you, but I mostly blame Fitz (not McCall) - I think he basically handcuffs the team for the OOC games to...

    Calm down

    I’m not an ardent supporter of the offensive staff by any means, but based on the fact that this happens every year in our OOC games I get the feeling Fitz kinda says “we’re sticking to base offense, win or lose, until Big Ten season.” Not surprisingly, we lose with that strategy when we play...

    So do you guys disagree with any of the points I made?

    OT: Shat is hitting the fan in Columbus

    These are excellent points. I can’t believe he didn’t know, but not firing the guy at the time still only makes him a jerk and a hypocrite - he didn’t break the law. However, by (probably) lying about his knowledge of the situation it seems like he tried to cover up this mess and protect a...
