    QB Recruiting

    I wouldn't think it to be a lack of confidence. I would suspect that most recruits have a sense of confidence but also want to vision a program that fits their style, puts the ball in their hands so they can have productivity, and could develop and increase their potential. It's hard to...

    QB Recruiting

    It's a great question but one that has a seemingly obvious answer. The reason why we have not hit on any of our top targets in the QB position for over 3 years now is most likely directly related to the continual futility of our offense over the past 36 months. Prior to that, Fitzgerald showed...

    An Inconvenient Truth: Acker our 3rd string back over Anderson?

    Turk does have a point. This Acker kid seems like a football player who can make plays. Asking why he was moved from wide receiver or why McCall can't get Long, Vitale, and others in the game for more plays is a reasonable question, given the context of our offense. It's actually a question...

    Tired of the McCall Criticism--and so is Fitz

    As Turk noted, over the past 24 months, our offense is dead last, #122 in total offense over the past two years. Over that span, McCall had an NFL QB. If our offense could move the ball and function just modestly then I could understand, but we are on embarrassing mode and are the worst. It's...

    Serious Discussion: How do we fix a bad offense? Fans wanna know

    ^^^This^^^ How can Fitz even think about keeping McCall? Our offense is dead last over the past 2 years and we even had an NFL QB within that span. Think about that.

    Matt Harris article today on Inside NU

    Turk,leave these guys alone, just ignore them. This thread was started with a good article about Harris but has deteriorated into questions about Harris and another assault on you. These guys are all drunk.

    Northwestern fans: tell us what you think about your coach, Pat Fitzgerald

    I'll give you credit Turk for not stooping down to the level of the bullies who forced most of us off this board. Everyone except a few would agree with you that we don't develop our talent as good as some of the teams you mentioned. But look around you Turk, this board is just a skeleton of...

    An Objective view of the Spectacular TN running game isn't so spectacular

    Turk doesn't bleed purple so he often pisses off our own fans. He grades our players and coaches, and will not shy away from giving failing grades. He is not only a favorite poster but also a least favorite poster by those who don't like the good with the bad analysis. One thing for sure is...

    An Objective view of the Spectacular TN running game isn't so spectacular

    Good points Turk. I think having Harris back, along with Hall's outstanding run support, has really advanced our play to among the nation's best against run defense. I don't think you and others have credited Hall's play since Prater has been out, but the kid can pursue and tackle. Question...

    Congratulations to NU WR Recruit Nate Johnson

    Hopefully, we can land Nate Johnson. Our need for wide receivers couldn't be greater.

    Turk's Game Analysis and Individual Player & Unit Grades

    Turk is an icon. He has appeared on the huddlecast with CJ, and judging by his courtside seats I'm guessing he is a substantial supporter of the program. I don't personally know Turk but I assume he is invited to practices and other events due to presumed giving levels. I'm sure he talks to...

    Turk's Game Analysis and Individual Player & Unit Grades

    Turk, it is always refreshing to read your analysis as you put things in the proper perspective. Prior to your posting, this board was in negative mode and ripping McCall and our offense after we just had one of the most dominating performances against Wisconsin. I also felt that McCall's...

    Turk's Game Analysis and Individual Player & Unit Grades

    You are one reason why I seldom post. I'm not sure if you just like to poke at Turk because you are friends or if you are just being a jerk and wasting our time once again. If you are just being a jerk again, then please go waste your time somewhere else. Here is what Turk said, and there was...

    Turk's Game Analysis and Player Grades

    I'm not taking anything away from Jackson, but I think Turk nailed it when he gave Oliver the mr all turk. It's not often when a backup wildcat quarterback leads a fourth quarter comeback. Very impressive. Does anyone know what happened to Thorson? He was walking around on the sidelines like he...

    Why we will beat Ioa

    Bates at WR allowed Barnett to play call the way he did. The problem is that we don't have a Bates to keep defenses honest. Not having Queiro or Harris, two of our biggest play makers on defense will limit our ability to generate points. In our previous games, both of those players were...
