I've thought about this a lot. I think part of him is jealous and a little embarrassed. But he probably thinks he can build the same if given 7 yrs.

If we lose at Michigan the fans will know we need a massive home crowd vs Illinois. There will be no letdown.

On this note, you really just have to try to not get blown out. If NU loses by 22 then there's gonna be a ton of "we knew they were a fraud" etc. I think as long as you lose by 10 or less it'll be fairly quiet. Hell that's a Vegas cover actually. But yes it's asinine for a 20-1 team. The goal...

I agree with all that. I'm just saying if you're FH, it's not worth rushing a guy who's 85% into it. It's a tight road trip. Barely been a week since he originally injured it. And you have a gauntlet coming up that you need him for. The home Illinois game is the real crucial game IMHO. You...

I mean...I wouldn't play him if I was Hoiberg. Fans are making this out to be a Game of the Century...but in CBB a Jan conf game is only so important. Not worth risking anyone's health or recovery. Try to win tomorrow w the team you had at Illinois. It can be done. But more importantly you...

No Just guessing that we'll hold him & make sure he's 100% for Illinois

My concerns are....we haven't faced a lot of teams with a bunch of athletic dudes that jump out of the gym. MSU has a few of these guys but Michigan has more. And they're more skilled than a guy like Coen Carr is. We seem to match up better with Illinois, who has a bunch of eastern European...

Also the transition from Matty A regime to current structure wasn't guaranteed to work. Fred was already independently wealthy. And he made it clear he wasn't wanting to job hop and move around the country chasing HC contracts. DW made that transition work. There's a chance we aren't here today...

It was recorded. That's why they didn't reference the game. But the stranger thing is they didn't mention a single B1G player in the Freshman or other Player of the Year candidates. I think they mentioned only Big 12 guys? This was a pre-recorded segment that they knew was running after a B1G...

Correct

Ohio St is good! I don't know why they get no respect. They have the bad loss to Pitt but other than that they've been very solid.

Rando thing I learned today: we beat Illinois on the road in December with Frager scoring 0 pts. Played 13 min. I did not realize that. Still miss his 13 min even without scoring. But that's comforting. However against physical athletic teams like Michigan and Purdue we'd need him badly, even...

One other indicator for Rhule is what the programs did after he left. Dave Aranda had a great team at Baylor after Rhule left....so much so that no one gives Aranda credit for anything he did in yr 1-2 "that was with Rhule's players." Rhule is clearly elite at building a CFB program and the...

Sam H will be easy to replace

Yeah I'm sure other shitty B1G and SEC WBB programs pay their HC $1.0m/yr too. Political. It looks bad if that's the market rate and you're only paying yours $350k/yr
