"significant opportunities to find out about it."

Seriously? Thats the standard?
Any parent will tell you thats total nonsense.
If one of my kids is cheating on exams, I'm supposed to figure that out?
You either know or you don't.

Fitz is unemployed.

Are Gragg and Schill? How is your math 2 out of 3 on this? Mine is only 1 (33%).

2 would be 67% - still a failing grade.

3 = 100%. A+.

We’ll see what happens with the courts.

Gragg is not in the same position. To argue he is making any meaningful contribution to NU athletics is naive. My Math says 66.6%.

We all know why both Schill and Gragg haven’t been formally termed. Lawsuits. Neither will see an extension of their contract. Two incredibly poor hires.

This report is useless to everyone, especially NU when defending the firing of Fitz. I wish I got hired to do this report as I could have told you the same thing with little effort, I will up the pages from 5, and take a few hundred thousand off the bill. Fitz will buy the first round.

Well you basically have 2 of the 3 on your hit list.

This certainly doesn’t hurt Fitz’s lawsuit. Back up the truck NU.

Got this off the Iowa board...

TruMedia stats for the 2023 season:


TEAMPLAYS WITH PRE-SNAP MOTIONNATIONAL RANK
Michigan59.7%2nd
Ohio State41.9%32nd
Minnesota40.6%40th
Northwestern39.0%47th
Illinois38.1%51st
Nebraska36.3%63rd
Penn State33.9%74th
Indiana33.6%75th

Michigan State27.3%99th
Wisconsin27.3%100th
Iowa22.9%112th
Maryland20.8%119th
Rutgers19.5%122nd


A bit surprised to see the Cats that high, but it makes sense that Braun was moving to more of his type of O.

Anyone have the data for the previous season or 2?

Iowa should move up the chart as their new scheme is akin to the Shanahan based Packers O.

Brian Ferentz has been hired as an offensive analyst as Maryland. Things might get wild in College Park this season.

PWB - thanks for that offer for the beer!

I guess I would say both the writer infers (to make a point from information gathered) and the reader infers (to try to understand the writer’s point).

Geez..can you two just meet at some cheap hotel and just seal the deal?

Gordie, if I see you at a game, I'll buy you a beer, assuming the stadium sells beer!

But one little note before we bury this beaten horse...

If I write a sentence, it might imply something to some people, but the reader does the inferring..

Anyhow, I was aware that Clingan was expected to go higher in the NBA draft than Edey. Apparently Edey kicked ass in his pro workouts, so he jumped up.

FOOTBALL Ryan Field and Temporary Venue Shared Photo Drive

M
Hi all,

This is a project I've been working on the past few days and I think it's ready for roll out. I've been taking photos of Ryan Field during the demolition and construction the past few months, and recently took some of the temporary lakeside facility the other week when I was up in Evanston. I normally tweet out a few of the best photos each time. I thought something cool to share on The Rock would be my full camera roll from each site so far.

I've organized my photos chronologically and put them in a Google Drive folder, which is linked below. I also thought it'd be a great opportunity for you all to share your photos, if you have them!

Anyone with the link can access, upload and edit. I'll be monitoring it around once a day to organize uploads or edit out unrelated photos. Any photos uploaded directly will display your Google account name so if you'd prefer to avoid that you can email them to me at wrphotoupload@gmail.com and I'll get them up as soon as possible.

I'm happy to answer questions or troubleshoot issues if you have them here on the board or via DM. I hope you all enjoy the photos!

I will stand by my inference of the meaning of your words. Your words do have inference and meaning, correct? I know you try to state facts, which is admirable, but why use words if they don’t convey meaning?

You were surprised Edey was picked as high as he was, and then, with the added use of the term “however”, one would infer you were even more surprised Clingan went at #7.

You also had said having Edey on UCONN would have allowed Purdue only 20 points. The inference/meaning is that Edey is a more dominant defensive player (since Purdue actually scored a lot more than 20). I argued that Clingan dominated us defensively and Edey never did.

I’ll let you buy the beer when we meet at an NU bball game - sound ok?

It really is astonishing what has transpired at other schools (Iowa racial issue as well as the intense training session that hospitalized several players, Brian Kelly getting a student manager killed due to negligence) and the HC keeps his job while this “scandal” cost Fitz his job and more importantly for him, his reputation. Just total and complete mismanagement by everyone involved.

Don’t forget that POS Franklin and all the skeletons in his closet.
