    Why aren't they pulling Boo and Langborg in a blowout?

    I actually wish 'Borg would've gotten pulled out just before the end. He deserves a lot of credit to the success of this team. Unfortunately this was a sucky way to end Boo's career. I'm glad he never stopped fighting despite the dearth of points. Like our football team, our players are special

    Refs

    Yes, I thought there were moments where the Cats were mauled. Unfortunately any absent calls would not have made the difference. Clingan ripped apart our defense worse than Edey could ever do. Missing Big Matt definitely hurt but I'm not sure he would've been enough. I have nothing but...

    bajakian sucks eggs...

    I believe we can improve from Bajakian. Although, I will credit him him with a lot of the positive changes to the Offense. I hope that he wasn't as impactful as many of us casual fans perceive to know. He appeared to have a strong bond with Bryant and that's hard to quantify. I wish him...

    Thank You

    I was very beleaguered fan as well. Maybe it was guilt for the actions of some. Maybe it was stubborn pride to prove they could defy the narrative proposed by many (including myself internally). Regardless this team was special. Obviously Braun will (and should) garner the attention for...

    Northwestern produces video "Positively Dr Gragg"

    I'm aware the money is distributed evenly. I was measuring the "clout" of the game by payout. I don't believe we were ineligible for any of the recent bowls - UK was at Music in 22. When possible, get the best bowl: matchup, attention and desirability for fans. I think Vegas is an easy...

    Northwestern produces video "Positively Dr Gragg"

    I noticed he he was "working behind the scenes" to get us the Las Vegas Bowl. I'm not upset about the game, but it appears, based on 2022 payouts (Music - 5.5M, Pinstripe -4.4M, Las Vegas - 2.9M), that it is the "lowest" tier 3. Only a 5-7 Gopher team is below us. It doesn't seem like he worked...

    CFP Bedlam!

    Needless to say my daughter now hates the state of Alabama.

    CFP Bedlam!

    Why is everyone in love with Texas, and some extent Bama. The odds were high they would beat Okkie St. The Cowboys don't look impressive to me. A middling UCF team crushed them (45-3) in Orlando. So why was Texas ranked below the Buckeyes when it was nearly obvious they would win the Big12...

    C'Mon Miracle... let's go to Tampa!

    I would love Tampa, solely because it's real close for me. I just don't see it happening especially if requires Gragg to work. My daughter is graduating from FSU so we watched the game last night's with interest. She's pissed off that Noles could be jumped. I told her she has Dr Jim as her...

    Hey, that's offensive even to us engineers

    Hire Braun

    Watching the team's execution of today was awesome. I'm trying to understand the impacts that Bryant had on the drastic reduction in Offensive penalties that marred the Nebraska and Iowa games. I will give the coaches credit for cleaning that up today and hopefully those issues are mostly...

    Central Street memories- First,Worst,Best,Last (long)

    First: 10/1/88 against Indiana. We lost 48-17. I showed up in the 4th quarter and for some strange reason I was hooked. Worst: 11/23/13 against #13 Sparty. Lost 30-6. It was very cold and surrounded by many obnoxious MSU fans Best: 54-51 Last: Two weeks from now against Purdue with my FSU...

    Observations from my last visit to Ryan Field

    Olsen has been instrumental this year, but don't forget he was injured before the game in Dublin. Not sure if he was completely ever healthy. If I remember correctly he missed a PAT early in the season last year. Not that I agreed with it, but I believe the game announcers eluded to Maryland...

    Braun took eight games to equal the win total of Fitz’s final 24

    Braun and the new positions coaches have done a wonderful job and are deserving of our praise. The DL was supposed to be a dumpster fire. I feel like we truly came out on the positive side of the transfer portal by adding to our passing attack. I would agree with the assessment that last...

    The hazing scandal was good for NU football

    The hazing scandal has solidified this team in ways a Fitz-lead team in 2023 probably may have not. He would need to motivate solely based on the bad performance from the last two years. Keep in mind, the new coaches and the new players (Bryant, Johnson, Henning) have immensely upgraded the...
