    Eating Crow

    Nope. I stayed to the end. But you weren't alone. It was a ghost town in the upper rows of section 128 after the half.

    ~2006 Hazing - Historical Perspective

    Men's fencing was a hybrid called "Varsity Club" before Title 9. We got varsity letters and were given the same abilities as all other varsity athletes as regards getting out of class for scheduled sporting events. Back in that time period, those abilities to get out of class were very limited.

    Fitz fights back

    What would he bring to the table that would make Nick Saban bring him on as an analyst? Fitz's strength has always been getting the most out of previously unrecognized talent. That is exactly the opposite of Alabama's situation. Saban has brought in analysts that have fresh ideas in the Xs and...

    If we were going to grab a DC from the USFL, I would look at the one from Pittsburg, Jarren Horton. He put together a monster defense and was a great defensive play caller. And he is young.

    Fitz fights back

    Had this happened two years ago, Fitz probably would have sat out a season and then been hired at a pretty good FBS HC job. But after a terrible season followed by a horrific season and then this, he will probably have to wait longer and take a bigger step down and try to work his way back up...

    I hope you are right and I appreciate a constructive solution being put forward. I am just kind of overwhelmed with pessimism right now. It will pass.

    The Pro Bowl is kind of a joke but your point about the All Star games is well made. But in an All Star game, you are playing another team that also had to get ready in a week. We are playing teams that have been working together for years. And we lost to all of them but one last year. That is...

    Very logical and a good idea. And I would especially love it if Birmingham's quarterback (McGough) came with the deal. But that would be an amazing amount of stuff for the players to learn in the short pre-season practice schedule. 100% new schemes on both sides of the ball. Or the coaches would...

    Gragg makes statement, leaves Zoom call without taking player questions

    His wife told him that he wasn't leaving and he said, "Yes, dear." This is a joke and based on no actual knowledge. I probably could get a second source, though. So, I guess they'll print it in the Daily Northwestern. Still a joke.

    The plot thickens: current player says whistleblower wanted Fitz fired, “in jail”

    You lost me. We were talking about our fanbase actively pursuing and harassing Carl Richardson in retribution over his statements to lawyers and the press. Our fanbase won't do that.Its not so much that we are above that sort of thing as that it would not occur to us to put that much effort...

    The plot thickens: current player says whistleblower wanted Fitz fired, “in jail”

    That name has been provided from two sources that I have seen. That's all I know.

    Go after Kafka

    Thank you, NUCat. The community of crazy diehard NU fans is too small to not band together when the University administration is striking a match on the Hindenburg.

    I'm done with NU and College Football

    I fear that it will be a long time before we are fine. Agreed.

    Fired

    I can usually find some way to logically challenge any statement. I crushes me that I cannot challenge this one.
