    Where we stand post-Washington debacle

    Illinois looks to me like one of the stronger teams they will play, so you can count that one out. We did see Lausch play well in the Eastern Illinois game, so we know he can throw accurately if he has time. Obviously, on Saturday he didn’t. The other issue is that his receivers rarely got any...

    JON Gone

    I am not suggesting he was a great coach, but the defense was playing “light years” better than the offense. The receivers were terrible, but they haven’t had a recruited a competitive QB in almost 10 years (Thorson) and he wasn’t great. Why wasn’t that addressed? Afierce over 30 years if...

    Gragg (an new Pres) should seize the opportunity..but they won't

    I used to know Pat Ryan (we weren’t buddies). He was a successful business man. He wouldn’t gave tolerated the kind if performance we’ve gotten from Fitzgerald in the past few years. I am sure he, as many of us were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for some period of time. The...

    Firings: What should happen vs. what will happen

    People vote with their feet and their checkbooks. I am a 40 year season ticket holder although i no longer live in the area. Yesterday ny wife who also holds two degrees from NU asked if we couldn’t find something else to watch. It is painful to me but we wont be renewing.

    There's really nothing left to say...

    For the past two or three weeks, the defense has been pretty good. The offensive has been pathetic except for the RBs. I find it incredible that the non scholarship kid that played Saturday was generally as effective as the first three. He nay actually have greater promise. Where are the...

    Why the Wildcats will be better in 2022!

    I’d settle for not embarrasing.

    Who will ask the tough questions?

    An issue that can't be ignored is that the number of empty seats. It becomes really obvious when there are not a lot of visiting teams fans. People vote with their feet. I have been a season ticket. holder for 35 years and I can't remember when "nobody there" was more pronounced. Yet, the survey...

    Who will ask the tough questions?

    I have lamented the same as recently as yesterday. When Teddy got under his skin he got mad and amazingly the team played better. Who now? A few weeks ago, I listened to a university board member say that the best thing we have going for us is our football coach. How does that work? Be...

    My observations

    Hunter had far more upside than either of the other two. At Duke, when Fitz pulled. him, he had no protection at all. Who designed those plays. Who made adjustments to provide him with more time? And, never to be seen again. Marty's turnover ratio is horrible. Hilinski's is similar. Neither is...

    Lincoln Riley takes USC Job……….

    Many of Oklahoma's (and Alabama's and OSU's among others) are from Southern California. Watch how many of those recent commitments fall away like tics of a dog after a dose of tic powder.

    Lincoln Riley takes USC Job……….

    Morty headed out the door; Jim Phillips gone ...; Be interesting to see what happens when the new prez begins. In her letter to students and alums she commented that she strongly supported university athletics and believed in playing to win. How would she have felt about this year? She is...
