Pain.

I don't think you'll answer this question with clarity, but one more try. Barnes is receiving NIL money, if he receives the same amount next after arguably filling his role well is the program being loyal?

Two things a Kerns led teams will do, play good team defense by early-mid season and miss free throws.

It will be easier to find another Barnes than to find the money to keep Barnes and improve the roster. And people question player's loyalty to schools...... If we pay him the same next year as this year or even 10% more are we being loyal or disloyal? Is he getting paid this year? I think there is ...

I know it's Monday, but hope is a dangerous things. We'd need to win the TO battle by 3 or more to win Saturday. Not something we've won in most games.

Sharps are on App now -19.5. Not much of a consolation though…

Depends on the market rates of positions as well. If lineman are going for more than other positions the allocation will need to be higher. Surprised someone hasn’t run an analysis on trends by position and by conference. Information likely difficult to come by as coaches don’t want to tip their str...

Diversify.

If we allocate 40% to lineman that would be a good start.

Would love to see the current allocation.

I’d say 50% of the dropped balls are guys fairly open in space and other 50% are passed that are low or behind the player. The latter is due to poor protection and a QB that gets fluttered. The former half is a function of good play calling, route running and separation from the DB. That takes talen...

Guys we are bad this year, enjoy the last two games (tailgates) and know that this roster will be better in 2026 than it is today.

No sense in hand-wringing these last three weeks.

I’m not sure we aren’t confusing lack of effort with lack of talent.

If I go out there and give it my all against a better athlete (low bar I know) I’m not going to be perceived as giving much effort, perhaps that’s all I’ve got.

I don’t think our 2026 QB is on the roster, just a hunch.

It's going to be an awful finish to an awful season. When was the last time we lost every game in November, or 4/5/6 in a row? Despite this disaster, I am giving coach a no strings attached pass on this season. We have no QB and a dearth of talent and depth. I’m not sure that QB is the problem. Har...

My kids enjoy taking pictures with players in their uniform.

Seems like a silly rule, are the games the fans are allowed on the field different?

So here is a take. Isnt easier to teach a runner that cannot throw how to throw than it is to teach a thrower that cannot run how to run. One is a God given talent, the other cam be learned. Recruite 5 running quarterbacks and teach them how to throw. Hear me out, we switch to the triple option, fo...

Swann can not run, we don't have that option with him in the game. We are playing the hand dealt (some we dealt ourselves, some inherited). Let's just say we aren't holding pocket jacks or better, hell we aren't holding consecutive suited cards, more like a 7-10 unsuited and the flop is 2, 4, J at ...

Watching the line of scrimmage against a terrible GS team is pretty telling at the level of talent and depth on this roster.

We were not prepared. Is that on the staff or the players? It was an embarrassing performance.That embarrassment was felt all the way to the top. In the past it was always said it was on the coaches. Interested in hearing what it is now. 9 games in on a total rebuild. Some gave Satt grace in year o...
