You don't believe? Shame on you.
The program has never been stronger. Just ask Fitz.
One creates their own reality. Sure it doesn't always work out, but if you don't claim it, it will never happen.
They have only had a few bad days over the past four years. Not many programs can say that. Or would. With a straight face. And still have a job.
😆 Eleven bad Saturdays in 2022... just a few. Whatever happened to "Never again" after 2019?
The cup, figuratively speaking, barely has any moisture in the bottom. The situation is bad
Silence can be either a problem, except for people who talk way too much, or a gift (in the case of people who talk way too much). That is not the point, which in this case is, "what does the silence mean?"
You mean the guy whose defense gave up 45 points today?
They didn't have a good day today, I'll grant you that. They did make the play to get the safety that was absolutely essential to win the game.
Right, like 54-51 in 2000, when we had a terrible defense. That was the Colby era, wasn't it? Defense is by no means NU's only problem now, it is simply now an excuse as to why we were not winning. Actually, with a JON defense and a decent offense, we could have won a lot more games in the past two years. Did Fitz fire the wrong coordinator, or is Fitz the problem, putting the clamps on Bajakian to the point of not being able to run a decent offense? In any case, I believe the silence is Fitz figuring this out and getting it properly on track. He needs to rejuvenate both sides the ball, and I hope that he is doing just that.
Yeah, that is the reality. However, Fitz has pulled it out before, and I have faith either he will again, or a really big change will occur. One way or another there needs to be a big change. With all the money now behind this program, I believe there will be.
Well, then we had 2020 which made 2019 look like the outlier on the trajectory of the program. 2021 was unexpectedly bad, and Fitz didn't do anything to shake up the staff because by his standards it was way too soon to fire a DC after 1 season or an OC after 2 seasons. Fitz had to have known that 2022 was likely to be as bad as 2021. If he didn't know that, either he is overly optimistic or not a good judge of quality.
I am imagining it to be full, you are correct. You are imagining it to be empty.
Speaking of silence, I am as much of a curmudgeon as the next guy about recent music vs the sounds of our youth, but I freaking love this cover version
Given the quality of coaching recently, I am ok with this, as long as the masks are soundproof
Silence is Purple as a Northwestern DE once said…
You two should get a room - haven’t heard so much BS since the last time I was trying to pick up…
You and ECat should get a room. You don't know any more about what Fitz is doing than I do. Love you Bob.
The maturity on this board from our venerable graduates, continues to amaze me.
I play that when I'm Mountain Biking - that and "Born to be wild", and "Gimmee Shelter". Mood music!
Here’s a cup half full: I think the back seven and line edges on defense have plenty of talent that a halfway decent coordinator could have us solidly in the middle of the conference next year with only a modest effort. That would be huge improvement right there that wouldn’t take too much.
