DT Luke Fickell (HC Wisconsin Badgers)

[Dryden]

Just going by some previous positions on their resumes, Fickell's staff at Cincinnati is going to be as over-qualified as Urban's is in Columbus.

Tenuta is a great hire for Luke.

Imagine if he were allowed to hire his own staff in 2011

Martyball, or Tresselball or whoeverball, really depends on having a significant talent advantage.

You can't really count on that at a mid major school.

I don't know about that - didn't Tress win 3 NCAA DI-FCS titles at YSU and play for 2 more?

I realize that Tress recruited some talent to Youngstown, but overall isn't the talent pool fairly even distributed throughout the FCS? Since those who are better go FBS, and those who are worse go DIII, at the end of the day leaving a fairly homogeneous talent pool to go around. At least, that's what I thought. Someone please feel free to correct me.

Still have a hard time with the tread title. Still hard to reconcile that he's gone.

Thanks again coach. Best of luck. Enjoy Skyline, Donatos and LaRosa's.

This is super important to point out- Donatos is Columbus based.

Montgomery Inn? Grippos?

True that. I honestly forgot. Had a lot more when I lived in Cincy than I did in Columbus. I never found the Monty Inn to be all that. The Prescinct? That was outstanding though.

And don't wish skyline on your worst enemy. Stuff tastes like dogfood on stale spaghetti.

I think Harambe excrement was actually the secret ingredient, but still have not confirmed.

And if you're a pizza delivery driver in Cincinnati, don't make snarky comments about the offense to his wife.

The only hire he was allowed to make landed Ohio State a boatload of 5-star DL talent and is legitimately being considered for NFL head coaching positions six years later.

Thank you! Montgomery Inn is nothing special. I've had better ribs at plenty of other restaurants, the jazz and ribs fest, and also in my own home. My mother-in-law told me that Montgomery Inn was closing in Dublin the other week like it was some headlining news. My response was "oh. Okay."

YSU's peers in terms of talent advantage were other FCS schools. They could have been the OSU of FCS for a few years for all I know.

UC, and schools like it, are never getting the top end talent as compared to most of the P5 schools.

That's why, imo, you don't see mid majors running the traditional pro style offenses. They have to try and scheme away their talent deficiencies.

I wish we still had negative rep purely for this.
