WLP - Opening

U
Hey guys. You know I’m I fan and think the pod is outstanding, but I do have some constructive criticism. Opening your latest pod with a list of NU transfers and being excited that they “will play for LSU!” or “be a nickel-back in the semi final!” is a little tone-deaf.

It seems like you guys are taking the “well, they graduated from NU, so let’s root for their new teams” approach. I think the fanbase isn’t there. I know I’m not, especially with ND and their former head coach. I actually couldn’t care less where Rod Heard or Josh Thompson are playing unless it’s at Northwestern or for an NFL team (if they announce their allegiance to us during starting lineups).

During a time where we’ve had a good deal of news (positive and negative), you made a footnote the lead story. If we’re just talking about like 6 dudes, why focus the lead on them and not the awesome players that are returning and/or coming too us next year?

Sometimes it seems the 3 of you get a bit “groupthinky”—totally fine and natural—but there might be room for another voice from time to time to keep you in check.

Overall, pod was great though as usual. Go ‘Cats!

Only one QB plays. That one guy gets all the snaps, fame, attention, glory, and fortune.

The other guy gets nothing.

The starting job is everything.

Right. Except there’s nothing that says the MSU transfer who hardly played as a freshman was better than the returning ASU freshman who hardly played as a freshman. Similar recruiting rankings. Dillingham was the head coach who signed Rashada.

Unless Dillingham said ‘the job’s not yours’, why not compete at ASU?

It’s pretty wild. Bad advice all over the place. Maybe the NCAA will be forced to offer unlimited eligibility as long as you’re ’making progress toward a degree’.

Rashada might be a 28-year-old redshirt freshman just trying to crack the lineup at Baylor in 8 years. Stack that paper.

Rashada is back in the portal after serving as Georgia’s third stringer this year.

He transferred when ASU brought in someone to compete with him (Sam Leavitt, MSU, same class) and now is transferring because he’s behind Stockton at Georgia.

It’s a shame that so many kids don’t want to compete for a role. He could’ve spent a year handing to Skattebo, getting better as the year went on, and playing in the CFP. (Leavitt was…fine this year. Rashada could’ve competed and won, unless he was ‘asked to leave’ for being me-first.)

Oh well.

He’s gotten lots of bad advice. I still hope he wins his lawsuit.

Leavett was fantastic - at least every time I saw him play.

Zero positive in that game. Not making that argument. But it was a tough game coming off a brutal loss. We didn’t show up. We weren’t competitive. But just a bad day. Regroup. Move on. Have a good week of practice.

It makes our margin of error smaller, but I actually feel better about this than the PSU game. Sometimes you’re just off. We have a veteran club that won’t carry that over to next weekend.

He's had long enough to prove that he can make it, and he can't. So, now it becomes just another empty possession.

He needs to stop shooting, the coaching staff needs to tell him to stop shooting. He has too many soft fouls too that end up in “and 1s.” Definitely a high energy guy for the Cats, but not sure why he gets the minutes he does.

Why would Penn state be playing Indiana in

stpaulcat
Why is it BB home venues now seem to have so much influence on game outcomes, especially in the B1G? This is not as much true in football. Even in such revered venues as the Palestra, the better teams usually win. which we saw today with the Indiana win over "home team" PSU. What I experienced in Philly was whichever Big Five team was good at the time, they won there, and not because it gave them an advantage, in spite of being an exciting venue. Something seems off kilter re NU, they need to win games in hostile territory.
