    New Backup QB

    At an OK level and transferring from WVU just means another ho hum nothing to see here transfer. WVU isn't what it used to be, and even then it wasn't special. In my book we need someone that can be starting material. Why should we be excited about a guy who couldn't cut the mustard at WVU?

    Former OSU LB held without bail for girlfriend’s brutal murder / OSU President caught in sex scandal

    OSU is getting dirtier every year!!!! A very bad look for the university.

    OT: Lindsay Vonn crashes, knee likely permanently wrecked

    Most likely it was indeed physical pain! She is tough, but if she was screaming, her knee is gone.

    Embarrassing...

    I thought NU started to collapse at the end of the 70's .

    Portal Losses Thread

    Pitt, Syracuse, UNC, and Duke wouldn't add that much to the B1G. They are just a bunch of what I used to call as a kid, "beat ons".

    Portal Losses Thread

    Sounds like a kid with a plan and a good head on his shoulders! All you can do is wish him well!

    Embarrassing...

    It took my uncle (Earle Bruce) 4 years to turn Iowa State around. They were the Big 8's version of the 70's NU. NU now has a name that will get kids interested, at least on the offensive side of the ball. Kelly should bring a new dynamic look to the offense, that will get kids thinking about NU.

    The 2026 Football Schedule is a Murderer’s Row

    The MAC has seen better days, as Ball State should be used as a tune up game, and to let the 2nd string guys get real game time experience.

    Big Ten is 6-0 in bowls

    The only reason they were that high was they were both the reigning champs, and Ohio State. Miami will probably lose their next game. Ole Miss or Georgia will pound them. The Hurricanes didn't look so hot either, as OSU just stunk.

    We are getting Chip Kelly!

    I have been saying this for at least a couple seasons that we needed an innovative HC or OC to get the kids coming in. I wasn't the only one either!!!! We will attract some real quarterbacks for a change!!!!! Yeah Baby!!!!! Siked for '26 and '27 now!!!!

    GameAbove Sports Bowl Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Central Michigan

    Solid victory, but as a MAC graduate (EMU '93), the MAC has been downgraded for a decade or more. The offense seems solid minus the most important piece on the field. Is Boe really the best we have? A portal guy is still a crap shoot. I wish we could attract a solid 3 star QB that can get the...

    Our next QB?

    Are you kidding me? Another one and done QB? What is the definition of insanity? Oh yeah, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. A question for you folks! Who is the winningest NU QB of all time? Was he a recruit or transfer? Our recent plethora of transfer QBs have...

    Will our stability lead to opportunities in the portal?

    What stability? The top CFB recruits in the nation aren't really students, so why would they care about the degree? You think NU is magically going to even the playing field on the field with subpar talent? If I am not mistaken, didn't we lose some 4 star commits recently? The kids are...

    Will our stability lead to opportunities in the portal?

    How are we stable? If you call being average/mediocre being stable, how do you think that will benefit the team come recruiting? Didn't we recently lose some 4 star recruits? Being "stable" isn't going to boost recruiting. If the Chippewas somehow beat us at Ford Field, nobody is going to think...

    It could have been us

    Take it up with both the administration and the athletic department. Ryan has done all he can for the program. Anything else is up to the university. I will say this yet again(about the tenth time or so), facilities do not attract top talent. A top tier HC hire and staff will work wonders. The...
