You are INSANE. That's all. You REALLY think the football coach could have the AD fired? Seriously? If he openly complained about HIS BOSS, he would get fired. What would happen if you openly complained about your boss and the job he was doing? Would the president of the company take your...

Why do you think Michigan will control the division? They were last in the conference last year and they play 0 defense. Even with Denard putting up monster yardage numbers, they're 3-5 in conference. I'm not trying to flame or anything, I just really scratch my head when I hear people...

Hold on, hold on. You DONATED $1500 to get good football seats? In other words you BOUGHT SEASON TICKETS? That's not a donation, that's a purchase. It's like saying I donated $60 to EA when I bought NCAA Football, then I donated $5 to Little Caesar's for my Hot and Ready pizza. Thank...

So then Ferentz could walk into Barta's office and fire him right? At the very least he could demand his resignation, right? Again, if BARTA can fire FERENTZ then BARTA is more powerful than FERENTZ. Your whole argument is like saying that Wade Phillips was more powerful than Jerry Jones...

This. With our division, we should be either finishing 1 or 2 every season. Anything less is a failure, plain and simple. Beyond that, I'd expect us to win the conference WAY more often than once every 8-10 years. To put that in perspective, that would deliver 2 consecutive groups of...

Agreed. KF is certainly not "untouchable". As for the argument that he has more power than Barta, that's just false. Anytime somebody else has the power to fire you, THEY have the power, not you. Barta is considerably more powerful than KF, even if a decision to fire him would eventually...

IIRC, Shaq called Van Gundy the Master of Panic because he was always panicking. It wasn't because he struggled in high-pressure situations, it was because he could turn a routine 5-point deficit in the 4th quarter into DEFCON 4 in about 2 seconds flat. If anybody is the Master of Panic in...

Rudock didn't get a 4th star because the recruiting sites were skeptical about his size. I remember Rivals saying that he was listed about an inch or two taller and probably 10 pounds heavier than reality. A crappy reason to downgrade a recruit IMO, but whatever. With regard to him jumping...

Typically, when you start a sentence with "But," it's because there's a very important sentence right before that one which gives context to the rest of the statement. Care to quote her preceding sentence?

We have a "mediocre" conference record because we play in a really good conference year in and year out. When you play in a conference that produces 2 BCS teams annually and sends loads of kids to the NFL every year, establishing perennial dominance is a pipe dream most of the time. Look what...

This is known as "discipline". Look at what we did this recruiting season. Darrian Miller was all ready to become a Hawkeye. Kid was a world-beater in high school and the coaches were after him all recruiting season. He screws up at home and they pull his scholarship by sunrise. Could we...

We seemed to use the TE early in games in order to suck in the DBs to open up the deep ball earlier this year. I dunno if the gameplan changed later in the year or what, but I don't really recall us ever utilizing the TEs as a major part of the offense in the 4th quarter whatsoever this year...

KOK is NOT the problem. Is he perfect? Hell no. But those clamoring for a "sexier" OC have yet to suggest anybody as a replacement. Should we switch to the Georgia Tech triple option? Maybe we should run the pistol like Nevada or the wacky pass-only offense they run at Middle Tennessee...

Doubtful. That kind of thing could account for shutting down one player but it's unlikely there was a tell for every play that we were going to run. The dropoff in production came because our RB was dealing with concussions and the rest of the team gave up on this season. There really isn't a...

Our offensive line recruiting has actually taken a major tick upwards in the last couple of years. We did have 5-star recruit Dan Doering in 2005 but he never panned out. Aside from that debacle, we had 4-star OL Andrew Donnal join the team last year (pretty sure they redshirted him this...

"Next man in" became "Next man after the next man after the next man in." If Robinson went down with the concussions and we had Hampton and Wegher back there we wouldn't be so disappointed with how the season went. Same is true if we were able to use Bruce Davis this year, since we'd be able...

He's long gone. Screw him. He'll have a blast trying to get some PT behind Clay, Ball, and White. His word is completely meaningless and I'm willing to bet he takes no less than 20 hits against Iowa before suffering a catastrophic injury. Karma sucks.

Not so sure. He'd be a good choice but we may also go to somebody like Willie Lowe because he's got more speed. Depending on depth we might also turn return duties over to Torrey Campbell who is likely to be the fastest player on the team the moment he laces up the cleats.

I don't see McNutt leaving early. His whole career he's been the #2 receiver. If he goes pro, I see him falling into the Braylon Edwards career path. He'd be the #1 guy until a "REAL" #1 guy joined the team (see Holmes, Santonio). I think if he sticks around for another year and becomes THE...

IF the guy is to be believed, he says he's held onto the picture in the hope that Stanzi gets famous and the guy could sell the pictures for profit. If that was the case the guy should have waited until either the draft or at least until the post-season awards came out. Handling it like this...
