    If we only have enough NIL money to keep one QB, who are you picking?

    I'd agree that the sample size is limited, but I raised this question weeks ago. If you retain Dylan at $3 million and keep Lateef at $1 million, then the decision gets more interesting no matter what happens the last two games short of a complete and utter collapse. Again I'll reiterate, I...

    The front page formatting issue is back

    Bump for the front page thread issue. Was there a user fix? I deleted my cache, but that did not help. I'm on Android mobile. 7 locked threads and 4 regular is all I'm seeing on the front page.

    Do farts have lumps in them?

    A lumpy farts discussion by grits and gravy... A silent but deadly thread.

    B1G Exploring Private Capital Investment

    I've just seen the negative impact that it's had on small business clients from a banker's perspective. It is rarely good, although to its credit, it is often one of the few ways that existing family businesses can continue if there is no clear succession, short of an ESOP or being absorbed by a...

    B1G Exploring Private Capital Investment

    I'll share my TMB post on this topic. Private equity destroys damn near everything it touches. I'm not sure why the BIG would be any different. Nothing craters a balance sheet like private equity. Someone needs to save the BIG from itself.

    So are we getting a grass field or what?

    That's definitely true. I remember sitting in the outfield bleachers on a July day in old Busch Stadium where it was 100 in the bleachers and 130 on the astroturf. I'm partial to natural surfaces, but can see the attraction to field turf for certain applications, durability for other events...

    So are we getting a grass field or what?

    I wonder what the mix of turf to grass fields is in the NFL? Pittsburgh and Chicago are both notoriously terrible natural grass surfaces. Today's turf is so different from what it used to be which was essentially carpet on concrete. I'd be somewhat surprised if injury studies show any...

    Our offense, outside of Emmett, has absolutely underperformed this year. There is significantly more talent and experience on that side of the ball than there is on defense.

    Will TJ Lateef have 200 yds (or more) total offense vs UCLA?

    I think I missed this thread ... I'm gonna go with "yes".

    Weakness upfront was quite evident against Cincinnati, but we lost a ton up front and our front four has gotten somewhat better as the year progressed. We're nowhere near dominant, but we've played good enough defensively to be 9-1. Our offensive game plans have been far more disappointing.
