    Another Gragg Disaster

    The guy hasn't done a single thing right since the outset. He is an abject failure and an embarrassment to the school. It is mind boggling that he is still employed.

    MacPherson specifically named as a witness to and participant in hazing

    It seems to me that everyone involved in this mess is in CYA mode. The president and AD have shown absolutely no leadership through this ordeal. If they are serious about eliminating a culture that allowed the hazing (regardless of the "severity"), then anyone on the staff that has been credibly...

    MacPherson specifically named as a witness to and participant in hazing

    If these accusations are credible, wouldn't it make sense to suspend him until an investigation is complete?

    Gragg Speaks: “I will take ownership of the head coaching hires”

    He certainly hasn’t given anyone reason to be optimistic that “he’s got this”!

    David Braun is elevated to interim head coach

    Hope he is getting a big pay raise. This was really the only internal option that was palatable. Will he handle both DC and head coaching responsibilities?—kinda feels like he is being thrown to the wolves.

    A defense of Schill and Gragg

    Schill's & Gragg's actions for the last week are incomprehensible. I find it hard to fathom that either of them will ever regain the trust of any of the constituents of the university--especially the student athletes.

    Some sad news

    This is very sad news. He was one of my favorites--I will miss him and his humorous contributions here. Our wildcat family has suffered a big loss--let's win one for Smithee!

    Thanks to Vic and Dererk

    These were (nearly) my thoughts exactly after the game, though my version was slightly less complimentary of this season. I will miss watching Law and Pardon in purple.

    Adam Cushing to take HC job at EIU

    Bring back Barnett! He is only 1 year older than Hank! Give him an honorary assistant H/C title. /s

    Durkin fired

    Great job by the students. Amazing that the Board was the only group in the country that couldn't see that this was the only acceptable outcome. The students should now turn their attention to the inept Board.

    What I've come to accept about Ped State

    I agree. I think most fans think it isn't happening at their schools, but I'm becoming more convinced that this is part of a culture of big-time college athletics. It has become solely about money. The NCAA and conference leadership have no incentive to penalize their cash-cow, big-money...

    Purdue Statement Game

    I've read a couple of posts about NU's offense being better. I'm not convinced: 1. The O-Line should be better, but has been inconsistent (especially to start the year for at least the last 2 years). 2. Thorson's health is an unknown, although BTN's takeaways were encouraging. 3. We will...
