    A lot of our fans are horrible

    Popping my head up out of the sand to agree with the OP. I've always said it, but given our product and ease to get to it/access, we deserve a better quality of fan. OK, it was very windy and cold in the south end zone seats, much less windy on the field, and that may have scared a lot of fans...

    If Gragg fired Fitz after the season, would anyone be upset?

    That would be 5 years if it’s 2 in the new stadium: 2023: final year at current RF 2024+2025: temporary away while new stadium being built. 2026: new stadium opens

    RY is a starter - change my Mind

    For what it's worth, his RF year was worth its weight in gold - learning from and under Pardon was the best thing that could have happened to his game. His moves in the post, so reminiscent of DP, are often a thing of beauty.

    Izzo postgame interview

    Having traveled to Lincoln with both the football team and the men's basketball team for NU wins in both cases, I have to say that Ive found the UNL fans THE nicest fans in college sports, bar none. Lots of stories can be told, but they were extremely gracious, hospitable and friendly to a...

    It's his decision and his future. Whether you believe he made the right or wrong decision is irrelevant. What matters to our program, the one I support with fervor, is how does this affect it? I believe it will effect it deleteriously because it doesn't look good. Optics are often reality...

    To paraphrase you, it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what he thinks. I know for a fact that one of the reasons that factored into his decision was NIL. The rest if it is just speculation we do to keep ourselves entertained.

    Whether this is true or not is irrelevant to the transfer at hand. Everyone of those best players *believed* they could make it in the NFL and acted accordingly. Maximizing his chances, which means doing what he did and shedding us, was the best move for Brandon given that belief.

    I don't disagree. But he was an ALL-AMERICAN playing ball hawk. Meaning he wasn't just good, he was the best. It would behoove him to find a defense that can support and showcase those talents while perhaps working on what corbi is pointing out on tackling and angles. I would say it was...

    The NIL issue I know for a fact from the inside. He wasn't going to be able to do that at NU. He also raised his profile and his draft stock by moving to a national level defense. Whatever his playing weaknesses, playing on one of the worst defenses in the nation last year wasn't helping him...

    I don't fault Skowronek or Joseph for leaving us for ND. Still doesn't sting any less and, since they are a team we recruit against, I'm afraid it will hurt us in that area,

    He likely will. It's also a NIL issue, an area we will continue to lag behind (especially if we lose All-Americans).

    New marketing campaign possibility: Northwestern: Notre Dame's Chicago Farm Team. Yeah, I know, its not that bad yet. I'm just tired of all the bad news - and excuses this season.

    Joesph

    He was asked to play primarily run support on a very porous defense last year where his strength is being a ball hawk. He was an all-American when he was playing to that strength. It's HIS weakness and not the weakness of one of the worst defenses in the nation last year (as opposed to one of...

    Brandon Joseph enters the portal…

    It’s poor optics.
