This time it is a University of Washington Player Quitting, Linebacker who Denied NU a Touchdown

Don’t know the details, so maybe I am being hard on Cignatti. What I do know, is I haven’t heard of any other school having 6 players bolting before game 5, and every team has players that aren’t starters.
Three of them were walk-ones who are unlikely to ever start anywhere and the other three were formerly stars at places like U Mass who can return to that level of competition and probably once again see significant PT. Only one was even in the three deep at any position at INDIANA...

All three of the scholarship guys are Seniors who now have an avenue to see playing time again. We wish them all the best...

Your take on Cignetti is complete and utter BS...

+12.5 vs. Indiana

I can’t believe how so many around here have given up on this season and anointed Indiana as the 2023 Wolverines. This will be a close game.

I realize if IU pummels NU our resident IU poster and a flock of clinger on’s will be on here to roast me, but fear of looking foolish should completely remove any hope of improvements.
I don’t think anyone has given up yet but this game is absolutely the line in the sand. If our QB play sucks again we’re screwed.

I don’t care if the game is close and we lose if it’s because our defense plays great. That’s not sustainable to win in the modern game. We need someone at QB who isn’t a complete nincompoop to have any real shot at sustained success.

OT: Pete Rose

I originally put this on the gambling thread, before realizing there was a PR thread. It is ridiculous that Pete is not in the HOF.


Pete bet on his team to WIN when he was a Manager. There is no evidence he ever bet while a player or against his team. This doesn’t make it right for Pete to bet on his team to win, but let’s not treat it like he somehow impacted the integrity of the game. Baseball decided to wipe out 23 years as a player. The MLB all time leader in hits, in at bats. A 17 time all star, 3 time World Series Champ.

Baseball has a thriving relationship with Gambling sites right now. I guess it is ok when they are making money. The HOF is littered with players of questionable character including openly racist inductees. Get with it baseball, everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. Stop the hypocrisy with Pete and Shoeless Joe.
Pete Rose and Joe Jackson are apples to oranges. Rose as manager bet on his team to win. Jackson and his crooked friends threw the World Series. Jackson in the HOF? I’d pick Joe Wallis, or any other honest ball player, ahead of him.
