Hire Tim Banks as OC

I was thinking after @PURPLE Book Cat ‘s post… let’s try to hire Tennessee’s defensive coordinator Tim Banks for our next offensive coordinator.

He’s been a defensive coach at Illannoy and PSU before, so he knows the B1G. And with all of his defensive coaching experience, he’d see the game a different way than Bajakian or any other experienced OC we could hire.

And if you haven’t been paying attention, UT has been pretty good this season and they’ve had our number in past bowl games. Do y’all agree?

Changes to Wildcat Fund?

I received an email yesterday announcing changes to the Wildcat Fund and "new benefits, levels, and more!"

I have no qualms or shame admitting that I'm "Varsity" Level ($100). I park in the South Golf Lot, which I prefer to the other lots so this aligns just fine with my needs and demand. I noticed in this new marketing, Varisty level does not include "access to football parking based on availability" - I *think* this has always been the case - that you're basically guaranteed at the next/$500 level but at Varsity I am just at the mercy of the trickle-down (and I'll take those odds/I'm fine with that).

Can someone confirm that this is not a change from the status quo? I'm not suddenly/actually INeligible for parking, am I?

Maryland

Maryland will tell the tale. Over the years, it has seemed that the next game will decide if NU is for real or not. In this case, I believe that to be true. If NU wins, even by a small amount, that may indicate Fitz is getting handle on this. If not, all the speculation that NU is irrevocably trending down will be verified. Who else might we beat? Iowa, but so what? One more win will not change the situation. However, Maryland, NU's last chance for salvation this year, just might turn that around. I sure hope so.

We’re #1…hundred fourteen


We are actually not the worst Power 5 team in the country, we’re only second worst (to Colorado). Though I’m sure we may be worst by the end of the season. Colorado moved up several spots by notching a win.
