Oso planning to go pro
The amazing thing is so many years ago, The Spartans and their Board of Trustees did not want to pay Nick Saban top dollar so he left to go to LSU and the rest is history .
First, that was 1999, a very different time with coaching contracts. And, the bigger issue was Saban felt he’d always play second chair to Izzo on campus.If it hadn’t been LSU it would have been someone else. He was interviewing every year.
Yep, different landscape when it came to coach’s pay. Plus, back then, he was hardly NICK SABAN! He had four .500-ish years at MSU before going 9-2. He was considered a good college coach, but nothing close to what he’s become.
Watching Badger game on Fox - weird, they have shown Mel Tucker on camera 46 times to showing Jim Leonard twice.
I remember when his interim successor, Bobby Williams, won the bowl game that year and a fair number of MSU fans were insisting that he was a more than adequate replacement for Saban. He wasn't.
He was the players choice. MSU honored the team at a hoops game and on the mic advocated for him being hired and got the crowd chanting for Williams. Then the team marched to the MSU President’s house to rally. The admin buckled to the pressure and the guy was an unmitigated disaster.
People who remember MU as the Warriors are “old timers” but you remember Saban’s exit from MSU clear as day. 🤔
Another fine performance by the Flailing Irish.ND and Madison losing the same day is always fun. Maybe they’ll meet in the Weed Eater Bowl.
Continuing to enjoy the Wisconsin football season immensely. Embarrassing blowout losses ( Ohio St and Illinois) mixed in with nail biting losses to bad teams ( Wash St. And Much St.). A little something for schadenfreude enthusiasts of all stripes.
.Yes. I was told Mertz was a surefire top 15 NFL pick DTD. Lucas called him the prototypical NFL QB. This seems.....ummmm... wrong?
I've been alerted that quite a few weasel/rodents are transferring from the Wisky program. It sounds like utter chaos to me.
Cuse up on Clemson 3rd quarter
