    Saka

    Uh, he’s 22, and he’s playing at a lower weight at A&M than he did at NU. And yes, A&M is probably a little better at this than we are.

    Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?

    OK - so we give him an unexpectedly bad game. Unlikely to bench him if he’s bad against PSU or Oregon. So if he’s no longer the starter at mid-season, that means we probably have lost to two of Dakota, Colorado and Ball State. If that happens, I’m not sure we beat anyone else. Maybe MSU or...

    Ten Questions: 3. Does Northwestern have enough wide receiver depth beyond Wilde?

    I would say “depth” has to to mean beyond Eligon. Probably enough to be a little better than we were last year. Not enough to really have a top-half BiG10 passing game.

    Notebook: Northwestern coaches look to build team worthy of the new Ryan Field

    Does sound like a stretch but then I’ve heard of young Yankees feeling they had to live up to Yankee Stadium and I guess Rudy had to live up to Notre Dame stadium in Rudy. So I guess, whatever starts your motor.

    Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?

    If Chiles isn’t the starter throughout the season, it will probably mean the season was a disaster. They wouldn’t replace him for struggling against the tough teams on the schedule, which would mean he would have blown some of the easier games. If that were to have happened, it’s probably not...

    Indeed, but that one was Casey.

    CBS Sports B1G Predictions

    As Casey Stengel once said, “Joe is a terrific 22 year old rookie and next year he has a great chance to be 23."

    OT: Victor Wembanyama is very tall, and very good.

    Thunder is doing a great job keeping him from getting to his best spots. That looks like a vulnerability iin his game. He could use Dirk, and Garnett’s, maybe even Jordan’s, muscles.

    They don’t have a drill for weird releases and arm angles.

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    So you're saying Duke has "no morals and no standards" - pretty high ranking both nationally and internationally for an institution with no morals or standards.

    End of the Prime mystique

    Yup - much of my career has been in what I call "applied sociology", although that was not my major. Mastery of those techniques would be graduate material but NU does have a data analytics major or concentration in the education and social policy school where undergrads would learn that stuff.

    Absolutely Bernie Beck. And apropos of this board, NU roundballer star Jim Pitts was on the sociology faculty. Terrific guy and friend.

    End of the Prime mystique

    I think you're enjoying some outrage but the truth is more like this - and I know: There are Mickey Mouse sociology degrees that are what you are kind of describing designed to let people with no analytical skills skate through. There are also serious sociologists in management science, around...

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    As has been debated on the board as long as I've been here, we could if admissions would go the way of Duke and if we paid the players enough to overcome our reputation as being an average or less school in the revenue sports.

    End of the Prime mystique

    It can be, but not if it's done right. It is the study of how people and populations organize themselves and has very real applications for how businesses are organized and operate, government and politics, the military (Moskos' specialty), sports teams, or really, anywhere people are gathered...
