    What event hurt worse?

    Are we really debating this? We killed the soul of our program in 2002 and 2003. Loyalty no longer meant anything to the big bad big red and we will continue to be cursed for it. We made Bohl, Barnes, and Darlington (Darlington was a part of the defensive staff for 30 years) the scape goats...

    Which Sr’s come back

    Just a thought but since no one is losing eligibility this year, I would love for the P5 schools to float the idea of bringing back freshman/JV teams and having some games next fall. I would definitely tune into mid-week BIG JV games over MACtion games. Obviously roster numbers and depth are...

    If Indiana can we can also

    I don't find it all that confusing. The original post is equating that if a traditional middling program like Indiana can turn transform into a top 15 program than surely a traditional blue blood like us can too. Many posts are equating their offensive or defensive approach as the key and I'm...

    If Indiana can we can also

    Further food for thought on how our S&C approach is polar opposite to Ballou and Rhea. An athlete's max strength has less of an impact on speed and once an athlete can squat 1.7 times their body weight, increases in squat strength beyond that are not contributing to speed. If we were running...

    If Indiana can we can also

    One word: SPEED! Indiana and Tom Allen figured out that the name of the game is having speed on the field and lucked out with having one of most innovative minds in the strength and conditioning space as an alumni. David Ballou and Matt Rhea figured out that being able to squat 800 pounds...

    Media Killed the Option, Not the Option

    Just want to reiterate that running this style of offense would be an extremely difficult sell at any major P5 today, it’s a system where you have to extremely disciplined (hence service academics) and you have to have everybody bought into the philosophy because at times when a defense is...

    Media Killed the Option, Not the Option

    I don’t actually think that there’s a conspiracy against option football, it would be a tough system to run and sell at a major P5 program today period. I was just merely pointing out that even in today’s era that type of system can still be very effective even if it is labeled as dead. Just...

    Media Killed the Option, Not the Option

    No disagreements that the spread is the natural evolution of the option. Moving things back to the gun killed the timing for quick hitters like midline options or traps but it adds so many additional dimensions in the passing game and allows for more multi-faceted offenses. I also think we can...
