Well… the weak point all year is no longer playing this game at least.

Maybe it’s better or worse but we just gave up 5 sacks because of the starter. Now we have a for sure starting 5.

The right side needs to stop being a pass down sieve.

There's no place for this nonsense here. The core values of this site are not represented in the above post. People 'liked' this nonsense?

“Isn’t it ironic” lol

That was a crazy ending for those that didn’t see it.

I know Flexk is corny but I don’t mind the guy. He respects Ohio State, dresses like Tressel, and seems like he really wants to make Minnesota relevant.

I’ll say this.

If they somehow find a way to win. Then holy shit tip of the fucking cap.

Do you all realize what that’ll take from a team?

They somehow have to overcome our fans (because we’ll have the majority from here on out. Yes including vs UGA if we win), but they’re not as good as we are, record setting QB, and record setting defense. The bigger issue for them? Our leaders. They have to over come Brandon, Austin, Carson, Jackson, Kayden, Reese, STYLES X2, Iggy, and most especially Caleb Downs.

That ridiculous man. If someone finds a way to beat us I’ll root for them because wtf that’s impossible.

That said fuck these guys. I’m not going to root for them because we are going to beat their breaks off. Last time out we lost. You think that’s going to sit well? Fuck no.

It all comes down to talent acquisition.

The guy has proven himself to be a good coach. Can he get the talent to compete with OSU?

We shall see.

Jeez Tavien is huge. His frame and size reminds me of a more muscular Pryor.

This is more what I was thinking, and this post seems to be quite accurate
Login to view embedded media scUM fans were going to jump for joy regardless of who was hired. But Kyle really isn't much different than Kirk. He will win the games he's supposed, and have an occasional upset. But still have a 9-10win season ceiling. And he's not coming with the QB whisperer mystic like Hairball.

Offense will more than likely be better than what Ferentz is rolling out at Iowa these days. I do expect the scUM D to actually hit a real drop off though, they've stumble into NFL Caliber DCs recently now they are moving back to a mere college level DC who's never been tested at the highest levels.

We replaced 1st rounders with 1st rounders.

He had to use a converted running back and that was the guy who was consistently torched.

and it still almost wasn't enough. I don't see how that is in any way a knock on Willingham or an excuse for Day.

Fair enough, but Matt Barnes isn't our DC anymore ... At any rate, the main narrative here is "fuck Michigan" so let's not cloudy that up.

It’s not, but my original response was to the incorrect meme showing whittingham being 1-0 vs osu

This is mainly why they settled on him, he's more than likely to bring zero controversy and the higher ups there know it's going to take a long time to fix things after their recent fiascos. They coulda done worse but they aren't gonna be any better than the better pre cheating Harbaugh years

Actually this is the kind of hire they need right now.


Damage control 101.

I kind of wish this was true. I remember when Ohio State hired a coach from out west because he was 1-0 against Michigan ...

I hear ya, but we also had Wilson and Olave sitting out. It could have been worse and wouldn’t have been a game if both teams were with full strength.

He's too good a coach for this to be a disaster. I think the floor with him is 8-5, maybe 7-6 if they can't plug holes on the roster. If he's there five years, I expect a few 9-4/10-3 seasons, with maybe an 8-5/11-2 mixed in. This is a "steady" hire, not a "dynamic" one, IMO.

The year to watch is 2027, year 2. Strikes me as the kind of guy who comes in and gets more out of the talent some shitbird left behind and couldn't do anything with (Tressel scenario)

The fact that ALL of these say “BREAKING” is hilarious.

Jaxbuck said:

OSU fans should probably pump the brakes on that one themselves.

Utah was using a converted running back to cover a bunch of future 1st rounders because they were so depleted. All in all given the talent disparity, you really can't argue that Willingham did "more with less" that game.

I wouldn't be shocked if cultures clash and it does end up being a disaster. But with their luck they will be a stable 9 win team and maybe make the playoff like 2/5 years (being eliminated early)
