    How to not be soft …

    I was speaking only about developing players. Getting existing players to buy in and garner team success is a different metric. Which didn’t happen here. Or Carolina. But yay Temple!

    How to not be soft …

    But was he ever really a decent developer of talent? We know he doesn’t directly coach positions. So any success stories he may have had, his impact was indirect. And a coincidence. Like Ty Robinson was drafted in the 4th round because Rhule developed him.

    OT, Noem's husband

    For democrats to go on a 20 year run, they would need a coherent strategy on how to appeal to the most people across the nation. Seems like a long shot.

    Spring Practice reports?

    My metric has been beat the sub-.500 teams in B1G standings. They would have achieved that last year if they had beaten Penn State. Minnesota only finished plus-.500 by beating us. So that standard equated to 8-4 or 9-3 last season. It equates to 6-6 next season, but only if we can meet a...

    Memorial Stadium is Empty

    Which is just another example of how and why this staff sucks. There are only so many practice reps allowed. Why not not take advantage of every opportunity to work on the finer points. It’s a different atmosphere and a valuable rep. Is our punt returner some uber elite athlete, the key to our...

    NFL Draft General

    This is the dumbest take I have read on here in quite some time. Does stupid just come naturally to you, or do you have to work at it?

    Official F*ck the B1G March Madness Hate Thread

    The B1G has 4 of the 8 spots in the elite 8 and could have 5 if MSU can beat UConn. B1G is guaranteed one Final Four spot, Michigan is favored to get another, and still have a shot for all 4 spots in the Final Four. Maybe B1G basketball is better than some on this board gave them credit for.

    Dana did some good when he arrived late in 2024. He quickly identified some problems and produced some better results. Was hoping momentum would build from that leading into 2025 season, but that is not what happened. So I agree 2026 is a pivotal year for him.

    Spring Practice reports?

    Like a lot of us around here, I am done with the talk and the hype. It has proven to be completely wrong on many fronts. All I care about is results on the field in B1G play. There is no new information, no new data points, until Sept 26. Except for bad news, that can happen sooner. Like if we...
