    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    My read of it is that NU's "moral superiority" has always been aspirational. At its best, the university represents elite academic achievement and the professional contribution to society that should follow from as much. If you go fully down the rabbit hole on the subject you can even start...

    End of the Prime mystique

    There's probably a joke here somewhere about the CoralSpringsCat Endowment for Rock Awareness, but it's gonna take someone smarter than me to make it successfully...

    BREAKING: QB RJ DAY COMMITS TO NU

    Agree. But also, someone with the name recognition of Ryan Day is less likely to be hidden in the rough in the first place. If he was good enough to play at Ohio State, the coach there would have pretty good odds of knowing about it...

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    I agree that it's an overcorrection to cast aspersions on the entire university for the malleability of its academic standards for athletes. But it's probably at least worth noting as to the attempted use of high ranking to rebut the point that we really should be over in 2026 the notion that...

    2026 B1G win total over/unders

    It's regular season only win totals. (Vegas treats bowl games as postseason/not counted in season win totals just like the NFL playoffs.)

    OT: if you suddenly found yourself with a massive windfall, how would you invest it?

    OT - Superwoman

    I'd be more inclined to agree if I felt WLAX spending was the reason our basketball/football war chest lags behind. But blaming WLAX for why we can't crush the opposition in basketball/football feels like blaming a $6 coffee for six-figure student loan debt.

    Over/under 1.5 wins for Pat Fitzgerald at Michigan State against Northwestern

    I might take the under at 4.5. Not at 3 though. That's betting that it's more likely he only coaches two seasons in East Lansing than four, and I think all he really has to do to at least get to Year 3 is have a better record in Year 2 than Year 1 to be able to make a growth argument...

    OT - Superwoman

    Not to get in the way of whatever this all is between you two, but just want to back the notion that a reasonable amount of WLAX spending is not a waste for as long as we have a program that's so regularly capable of competing for national championships. The sport may not be a fan-favorite more...

    USA Today's Fitzgerald Haigiography

    I do enjoy all the strays Michigan State is catching on that thread: “if Red got to Zihuatanejo and it was like East Lansing, he’d go the way of Brooks” lolol

    Over/under 1.5 wins for Pat Fitzgerald at Michigan State against Northwestern

    I feel like I'd take the over on 3 seasons as well. I don't know if it ends well for Fitz at MSU either, but I do think he's clearly at least going to be really motivated to stick it to his detractors as his newest chapter kicks off...

    He's agreeing with you. He saying Fitz was canceled by a woke mob instead of fired on the merits. (This translation brought to you by: NU'06 eyerolling hard.)

    USA Today's Fitzgerald Haigiography

    I'm sure I would feel differently if I was fired for cause and then "litigation brought to light highly inappropriate conduct in the football program and the harm it caused" but I was able to spin that as wrongful accusation because Schill was too dumb to cross t's and dot i's in order to get...
