  • To answer the post directly though, I have to say I'll need some time on this one.  I got real excited for this season.  I knew the defense was going to be a wild card, but I expected at least a solid runner up to the scoring explosion.  Then we had the opener against Wyoming and that was a total disaster.  I think that's the game Martinez got hurt.  Everyone said, don't worry, because Wyoming was going to be an awesome team.  Now look at their record and look what happened to their coach.

    Not expecting much for next season....

    • Yes, Wyoming was not as good but look who they hired as their new coach!  They win.  We will continue along with Bo and not win a Big Ten championship ever.  I can only hope Bo's idea to stop playing the patsy teams prior to conference play will attract better recruits in the long run.  I like the idea but you have to be ready to compete with big time teams in September.  I am not sure we are ready to do that.  Bo, if he is going to stay, must get a DC who can coach.  I don't want a defensive coordinator who chest bumps his players.  I want one who keeps separation and inspires his players.  In short, one who leads.  our current DC doesn't lead.  I had a sideline pass for the Minnesota game and intentionally stayed close to the defensive coaches.  The defensive staff was confused and arguing with each other.  They did not have a clue what the Gophers were going to do.  It was embarrassing.

    • Could we beat North Central College?

       

      John Thorne is getting closer...a Final Four appearance and one point loss to Mt. Union is an accomplishment.

       

      I don't like the guy but he's a helluva HS and Div. 3 coach.

      • Whatever he's doing, it seems to be working.  He's proof that coaching is a huge factor.  Success with NCC was almost instant when he took over.

        • Whitewater 52 Mt. Union 14?

           

          Holy crap; perhaps NCC is not as close as I had imagined.

           

          Looks like it is all Warhawks now.

  • I think it's interesting that Austin thought change was needed and thus ran Mack Brown outta town.  With the exception of the 2010 season, he won a minimum of 8 games every year, won 3 outta 4 BCS bowl games, including 1 national championship, and 2 conference championships, and nobody in the media is acting surprised that he's gone.

    • I don't think one should look at Texas for the standard of rational thinking when it comes to football.  They ran Nebraska out of the Big 12 and have come to think they deserve to win the conference championship every year.  They think that if they come up one second short they should get one more.  I used to admire Texas and their success but not anymore.  And now that Baylor, A & M, and Texas Tech are national powers the Longhorns are beside themselves and cannot live with the fact they actually have competition on the field and in recruiting.  It is fun to watch. 

    • I don't think that Mack is gone.
