Bowl games

F
Having watched many games in a row in bowl season I continue to register my irritation with the lax forward progress rules. They just let the plays go on forever and obviously if you allow 3 extra seconds for multiple OL to get behind the ball carrier, they’re going to push forward several yards. It’s super annoying to watch for me. For me if the ref counts one one thousand- two after forward progress is stopped, they need to blow it dead.

A board member claims to have participated in depositions, so I suspect that lawsuits are indeed proceeding.

Fitz and NU will almost certainly settle for some compromised amount. He certainly wasn’t wrongfully terminated. If you’re a leader of men, and the men are assaulting one another in the shower for years, there’s a failure of leadership that can’t continue. I’m guessing he’ll make the case that he didn’t know about it. They’ll say “yes but you’re in a position of authority you’re supposed to know everything in your program and facility” (and indeed he, and every other coach, do know everything that’s going on). And they’ll settle on some reduced settlement and put a nice gag order bow on the whole thing.

NU washes their hands of him, he gets a payout and can privately tell people he’s innocent. And the Cats continue to sink without Hank to prop everyone up.

Depositions? Yes, depositions for Fitz's lawsuit. You are as ill informed on this topic as you are about football. To top it all off, once again you are a fan of another team who has nothing better to do on New Year's eve than to lurk and troll on an opposing team's message board. How pathetic.

That’s not the basis of Fitz’s lawsuit against NU. At all. He has a chance to get a LOT of money.

PS — are you typing on a NU board from Maple & Ash? Weird.

Really, what lawsuits? Where have all these lawsuits gone? Nowhere because it was all bullshit. The only lawsuit you’ll be hearing about in the news soon is when NU is forced to settle Fitz’s lawsuit and payout at least $100 million for wrongful termination. The whole thing was a fabrication started by a snot nosed prick kid who couldn’t deal with the fact that he was not good enough to play.

Thinking of NIL, the changing landscape of college football ... and Kain Colter

Folks who have a problem with what Kain did should have a bigger problem how he tried implementing change rather than the change he aimed for.

Exactly. He aligned himself with that Ragomi Huma character who was ineffective and extremely dislikable. He was the pawn in their game.

“He” won 8 games? I think he started 2 and was 1-1. The 5th string QB Stratton put up similar stats and won 2 games. Lausch would have probably done as well under the Hawkeyes offense as all their QBs, like average 80-120 passing yards/game. You think that would’ve won more games for NU?

You realize Lausch threw for 40 more yards/game and rushed for more yards/game than Sullivan? EVEN if you only average Sullivan’s 2 complete games, Lausch comes out ahead. You still think we win any more games with Sullivan?

My bad. I honestly didn’t realize Sullivan was that ineffective. I’ll pick up the flag on that one.

He won 8 games this year and played in a good bowl game. His former school won 4 and cycled through three QBs. I’m confused about where you think he lost out in this? It sure seems like he made the right call.

NW probably goes bowling if Sullivan stayed.

LOL, buzz off troll. Figuratively Bielema isn’t half the man FItz is although literally he is three times his size.

Oh yes, the IL dynasty. First bowl win since??? Fatty goes to Iowa when Kirk retires.

Oh I don’t think it’s a dynasty at all. But it was an incredibly improbable season that I will enjoy. Were less talented than probably all but a couple teams, and managed to win 10. And we didn’t have the benefit of doing it in the B1G West ;)

As for Bret heading to Iowa, I think it’s very, very unlikely unless they want to pay a remarkable buyout. Never say never, but I’d expect the odds are very low.

Maybe they will hire Fitz? Not sure if they’d be comfortable hiring someone who allowed sexual assaults to occur under his leadership. And I think in addition to being the Leader Of Shreks, the word is out that he’s nothing without Hankwitz running the D.
