Quote from: tower912 on Today at 05:18:51 AMDarnold was beaten up pretty good over how last season ended.   A year ago, the narrative was that the team and the QB whisperer in Minnesota had carried him and could do the same for JJ.  Darnold had shown he still didn't have it and was dodging ghost defenders and throwing it to imaginary receivers in the big moment.

Congratulations to Darnold and the Seahawks.
Yup, everyone, including me, was waiting for him to blown up and he hasn't (yet!).

Drake Maye vs Sam Darnold in the Super Bowl, who would've thought.

Quote from: brewcity77 on January 25, 2026, 04:15:55 PMIf folks on this board needed to start ponying up, BTD would've been sending out weekly donation request emails since the inception. Instead, it's less than 1 per year.

They don't care about small or medium dollar donors because they don't need them. BTD & Marquette strictly rely on whale donors for this stuff.

They'll take your money if you offer it, but if they really needed it, they'd be asking.
So the schools with the most/biggest whales will be the only schools to compete for a Natty. How does BTD's whale pod compare to other schools in numbers and size? I guess that question will be answered in the off season when we go after players in the portal/elsewhere and the quality of players in the '27 class.

Sinner is just rolling this poor sap.  It looks like his cramping is no longer an issue.

True. And Owens needs a shout-out here too.   Playing with a lot more confidence

Hangin' at the Al / In-season improvement
Last post by AverageJoe - January 25, 2026, 11:39:22 PM
Off the top of my head, I don't remember any Marquette player having improved as much as Royce has this year-during the season-since maybe Aaron Hutchins.  Just the confidence and the aggressiveness on both offensive and defense are light-years ahead of where he was at the beginning of the year.  He's actually a lot more athletic than I thought.
Also props to Nigel James for his strides in-season. He's greatly improved his outside shooting, doesn't drive into the lane and get stuck as much, and makes less ankle passes than he did in the beginning of the year.
Obviously, this season sucks, but those are a couple of bright spots.

Quote from: Jay Bee on January 25, 2026, 09:40:08 PMI was noting that the poster's claim about "The Daily Caller has an article somewhere" was actually evidenced by court records; the poster was trying to discredit the source. I was noting that it's real.. not just some 'article somewhere'.



Nope. Discrediting you. Or perhaps I should say lack of any sense of Christian empathy, since your faith seems so important to you. It was murder. That's what's real.  Your M.O. was to change the subject. It's as if you are saying "Let's talk about this..". Leave the art of subject switching to the pros.
