    Game was over when Nicholson Broke his foot

    Disappointing that injuries derailed what likely could have been a run to the Sweet 16, but unfortunately, injuries are part of the game and all too well for the program. But with that being the case, the team made the most out of a shortened roster and made Cat fans excited and proud.

    Final observations from 11 rows back

    Also really missed Berry (despite some thinking his loss wasn't as bad); Berry would have lessened the focus on defending Boo - reminded me of the time (think it was LSU) when the opponent had 4 lanky, athletic forwards and they simply suffocated Shurna.

    2025 QB Marcus Romain commits to Northwestern

    Again, comparing style of play/weaknesses is not the same thing as comparing physical talent. Denard Robinson was closer to Lamar than Colter in terms of physical talent where there was Heisman talk until the Wolverines ran into the meat of the B1G schedule, where the better defenses pretty...

    Dean Lowry to Steelers

    The problem with that is that Wilson isn't exactly the best tutor for playing within the pocket. What the Steelers need to do is to bring in a veteran QB who knows how to play within the pocket to teach Justin.

    The Cats are...

    among the top 5 teams in the Tourney in terms of hitting shots from the arc (surprisingly, PU is as well); granted, Berry played a big role in that. PU and UI are among the top 5 in O efficiency.

    OT: Wow, Justin Fields worth only a 6th “that could become” a 4th

    There is value in having a backup under control for 2 yrs at reasonable cost. Teams paying market for a starter would only have Fields for 1 yr as there would be no way they would pick up his option for around $25 mil, So, Russ, who really can't diagnose a D and make the proper reads...

    2025 QB Marcus Romain commits to Northwestern

    Remind me who had to come in when the Cats were behind and/or needed a quick score? Isn't that one of the leading parameters for a good QB - being able to lead his team to a comeback win? Colter got the start and bulk of the snaps early was in large part due to McC's system with regard to the...

    Brooklyn, we did it! ROLL CALL: who else is going?

    Win the first game and hope for the best. The upside is if the Cats do manage to make it to the 2nd game and pull an upset, it would be an upset heard around the world.

    Jake hired as analyst by Utah

    The difference btwn the Cats long ineptitude on O vs Iowa is that we don't have nepotism to blame.

    OT: Wow, Justin Fields worth only a 6th “that could become” a 4th

    The Steelers basically traded 2 QBs (Mitch and Kenny) who have trouble diagnosing defenses, processing and making the proper read for 2 others QBs who have the same issue. But Russ is an upgrade over Mitch (horrible decision to pick him up from the start) and Justin, an upgrade over Kenny on...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    Coaching is not a constant - coaches often change philosophies, make good/bad assistant hires (as we saw with Fitz) over their tenures, become better coaches from their experiences, etc. We have seen plenty of coaches who got fired from a gig early in their career, only to find success later as...

    2025 QB Marcus Romain commits to Northwestern

    They are different in the sense that Russ was much better at extending passing plays with his legs, but the 2 are very similar in holding onto the ball too long and taking sacks. Both are also similar in that they were limited at processing and reading defenses. A closer NFL comp to Colter...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    Don't think it was so much lower rated PGs, but rather missing on them for one reason or another (and under-recruiting guards). After all, aside from Law, most of the best players under CC were those lower ranked. If CC had a Sobo at PG with Law, Pardon, Lindsay and Shelly - that would have...

    2025 QB Marcus Romain commits to Northwestern

    While agree with your sentiment, still hoping for the best. Being a "dual threat" has more more to do with processing ability and being able to read coverages than arm strength. Plenty of so-called dual threat QBs with rocket arms have flamed out. Drew Brees' arm was shot the last couple of...

    Boo Buie - NU all time leading scorer

    Just based on some of the responses here shows that some do care. If CC was returning for her 5th season at Iowa, her scoring record would basically be unbreakable.

    Changes coming to CFB

    ^ It's only a matter of time. Regardless, the problem for FSU is that they won't bring in a full share of revenue to either the B1G or SEC (only the Domers will do that), so they'll either have to take less $ for a no of years and either the B1G media partners or ESPN/Disney find a means to...

    Changes coming to CFB

    What may be a bigger change is if the B1G/SEC get their way and get 58% of the CFB Playoff payout - which would equal to $21 million for each B1G school (about double the payout to ACC/B12 schools), There's also been an underlying threat that if the B1G/SEC don't get enough of what they want...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    The Big 2 schools already make millions more than the ACC, B12, BE, etc schools. Under the proposed 14 game CFB propsal, the B1G and SEC would get 58% of the payout, which equals to another $21 million for each B1G school (that's about double the payout for ACC/B12 svhools). $ will not be a...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    I stated this way back when CC was in the midst of his first season here and hardly in demand - that if he had pretty good success at NU (several Tourney appearances) that he wouldn't leave even for Dook, at least not at first (would have to be a Roy Williams situation). Chicagoland is his...

    Is Chicago State CCC’s Miami, (OH)?

    Just goes to show how much of an accomplishment (in consistency) it was for that team that didn't lose to a opponent ranked (kenpom?) worse than 100.
