I'd be curious to see some empirical data on how the recent purge of certain Scoopers affected these statistics.

Quote from: The Sultan on November 30, 2025, 04:06:29 PMI think there are two reasons. First, if this year continues down this track, it will be the continuation of a downward trend that ends with the bottom falling out. He would need to realize that there just isn't enough talent on the roster and that his prefered method to build a team needs some alterations.

Second, I will be surprised if there are no transfers out after this year. I think it is one thing to sacrifice playing time when the team is successful, but bad seasons can become bad locker rooms, and players may just want to move on to somewhere else.

I hope there is some turnover, preferably with Hamilton first...but if they already gave him the delusional idea that he is good enough to start here...why would he leave next year when he will be getting paid more.

I want to believe we will cut ties with those that are clearly incapable, but I'll have to see it first.

Quote from: Johnny B on November 30, 2025, 03:57:09 PMIt makes zero sense. I guess start Norman over Ross. Ross is gone anyway next year so may want to start Norman instead so he doesn't get  mad and transfer.

That's a completely different scenario.

I'm all for Nigel starting over Sean and I hope he does. I just don't trust Shaka to do it.

Man, the Bills and Steelers are both decidedly mediocre.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on November 30, 2025, 03:42:27 PMIt makes a lot of sense given what Shaka entered this season with.

If he wasn't willing to hit the portal this year, why would he next year? I hope he does, but I'm thinking he'd prefer Sean Jones stay than have to go to the portal and get another PG.

Quote from: Shaka Shart on November 30, 2025, 03:31:27 PMYou're being positive? On my way to my bunker.

(It's nice to feel good about our football team for once)

Hey!!! I was positive about the tanking strategy.  

I feel good about the team and very good about the coach & staff. I think proof positive, coaching matters in the NFL.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on November 30, 2025, 03:56:58 PMThe overwhelming perception is that the school presidents have mismanaged the NCAA for decades, so I think the president truly don't care that much at the majority of schools.

Absolutely.

Gold is a fighter and I appreciate him. The offensive upside we hoped for (or in Dodds' case, claimed was going to huge in year 1) hasn't arrived, but a lot has been ax'd of him on d/reb and he's been solid.
