Maybe I misread and am off, but I'm assuming you just listed Coach Parker because he's already on the staff? I'm trying to wrap my head around why we'd even toy with the idea of moving one of the best defensive coordinators in the country to the other side of the ball. Probably just...

You totally make sense. "Struggle" probably wasn't the best choice of words in that situation as I was referring to the arguments being made by those on the outside looking in. I agree that its going to simplify things for the committee.

I think we found the rare situation in which it's not only wins and losses that matter, but how you win. Not necessarily about style points, but have to perform at all levels.

I agree that you cannot build an entire team from the portal. But like you hit on if you're doing it to plug holes and not trying to replace and entire team the way Colorado did there's definitely advantages to doing it through the portal rather than doing so with players who are unproven or...

As much as I appreicate players that can stretch the floor. Edey is every reason why life is so much easier with a rim protecting big that doesn't need to leave the paint. He seriously makes it look so easy despite being a giant.

Whether Higgins stays or goes I'd venture to say we hit the portal hard. Phil getting his national credit and Iowa's reputation on defense could put us in a great position to land some very good players to fill vacated holes.

Easy to go with game managers when you have gamebreakers at almost all the skill positions. Unfortunately we don't have that. Agree with you on the talent level as well, but hard to gage when their talent as the skill position exceeds ours and their receivers can not only separate but catch as...

Definitely fun to revisit. I think had the wins and losses been the same with a better output from the offense there'd be a lot less negativity on the board.

No doubt. Can you imagine how much they'll struggle selecting at large bids. People think its crazy now just wait. The only benefit is that you'll definitely see the top 4 teams selected.

Couldn't have gone to a more deserving coach. About damn time he gets the recognition at the national level that we've been giving him for years. Definitely one of the best in the business.

I think you're spot on and to be honest it benefits the players as much as it does the program. It not only opens up scholarships for the incoming players, but a players career is short enough as it is and these kids want to be on the field. Their entire life they've heard how good they were...

While Ferentz is still about development he may be turning the corner as well based on the success he's had with the transfer market lately. I wouldn't be shocked in the near future if you see the recruitment of high school players flat line at big time programs. Why put the time and energy...

Yep. It's nothing but free agents testing the waters on a yearly basis. Honestly surprised more aren't doing it. Put their name out there, shop around and either find a better offer/opportunity or maybe put more money in their pocket if you decide to stick around or get an offer they can't...

They pulled almost all their starters with 5-6 minutes left. Moral victory watching our starters cut the deficit in half against their bench.

To be completely selfish I say yes lol. Due to my coaching schedule there's still absolutely no way I can make it in person most nights, but it is nice to be able to come home at 8 or 8:30 and watch the game from start to finish without having to stay up to late.

To be fair it was like watching a varsity team play a freshman team. We were completely undersized and they were bigger and quicker. That said the bright side is that the last 7 minutes we learned our starters are better then the backups when we almost cut their 35 point lead in half...

FSU says our offense doesn't look too bad since Taylor went out.

Michigan absolutely has the complementary part down and can grind out a win against a great defense by playing hard nose ugly football. The difference is they have the offensive fire power to put up points at will against defenses that can't stop them while their defense continues to get it...

Weird, but appears Rhule has an understanding and common sense that most Nebraska fans don't which most likely leads to the differing thought processes. One seems to be rational and the other continues to be delusional and still feel relevant.

Good point. The other thing we have to take into consideration is our defense is very basic and disciplined. We start getting caught up in their tendencies too much and over thinking things it may lead to us taking more chances and blitzing more or going away from what we do best which tends...
