Terry Bradshaw: "There's something to be said about Sam Darnold not playing for Minnesota this year. Now I know they thought that they had their guy, maybe they do, McCaffrey."

Charissa Thompson: "J.J. McCarthy."

"McCarthy. I always call him McCaffrey; I don't know why. Anyway ... "

Howie Long: "It's one of the Micks."

He should run for office

There always seems to be another coaching offer for white retreads. Even those who went 14-31 over their last four seasons, including 9-25 in the conference, and were forced to leave in disgrace.

I like it Hawk.  Good post.  They won't be losing my support anytime soon.  I agree the fans need to wait this out without being asses about it.  Have to let this play out a little more and see what leaders step up and take control.  They have to know three wins were left on the table.  At some point Gold may say WTF and play without fear of making a mistake.  At some point Stevens or Parham will say WTF and fill a leadership void.  Maybe Owens will come out of his coma.  They need one or two more players to join James and Ross and this could be a mid tier Big East team.  That IMO would be the arrow pointing up and would be an encouraging sign going into next year.

There certainly is no reason to believe they can win in Madison. But one of the fun things about sports is that upsets happen.

Wojo's last team won at UNC. Not too many folks had UConn losing to Seton Hall last season. Stuff happens, so I'm gonna hold out hope because that's what I want to do.

my buddy coached at UT-RGV (go Vaqueros). While he wanted out of there every day he said the city had the best Tex-Mex food he's ever had.

He tripped and fell chasing his dog, who was eating his homework. Happens all the time.

Quote from: MU82 on November 30, 2025, 05:47:43 PMGreg Olsen made a good point about the whole "Should Vikings have kept Darnold?" debate.

Had they been able to re-sign Darnold, every time he made a bad play or read, Vikings fans would have been screaming for JJ. Because fans love the backup, especially a high draft pick. Instead, Darnold goes to Seattle, where he is unquestionably the guy.

I like Olsen, but that's just terrible logic.

I commented on it when I saw it.

Oh yeah, the school is laying off staff, cutting majors and funding (my sister had her MSW program defunded a year in)

Yes, Michigan State has made its priorities known many years, scandals, arrests, law suits, penalties, convictions, buy outs and settlements ago.
