My guess is that Rhule will feel like Haarberg had it easier - getting his start at home vs a not great opponent, while Sims had to start his NU career on the road vs two P5 teams.

My prediction is they Rhule feels like Sims would have calmed down if his first 2 starts were at home vs Meatball State, etc.

I actually think Rhule will say this very line in a press conference when he's justifying Sims being the starter for the Michigan game. (but oddly enough the MICH game brings Sims right back to high pressure-land, which he doesn't do well in). So...buckle up for a frustrating ride, fans.

Mmmmmm

Had to AI some sheep on Friday. Got damn those fuckers kept kicking me. But it’s fun to give them the shot and make them drowsy

if that’s anywhere near the mindset that would justify sumbitch SIMMs , then they need their birdbrain examined Bc that sumbitch played at GT not his first rodeo

I dont think OLine is the problem. Our skill position talent is worse imo

both are glaring weaknesses. Our OL absoultely sucks fat, veiny, cock....but our skill positions are in even worse shape. Doesn't help that we play ERvin over Grant & RJ. WR and TE are fucking atrocious, QB is absolute ASS

So sick of commercials!

I think the entire offensive side is the problem. No one is standing out as either a good or bad component of the offense; they’re just bad.

If Rhule hates Sims he will throw him out there for Michigan. Whoever the qb is will l look horrible.

I...might be starting to think this also.

They lost any remaining challenges for the rest of the game over a possible 6-yard-gain.

Challenges are refreshed at half, right? I always thought a team has a challenge per half.

Can Haarberg pitch the ball?

I hope I'm wrong Doc!

Unfortunately, when I predict negative outcomes for DONU, my prediction rate is about 99.8% accurate.

 

[EwokRhuler]

We're going 2-10....3-9 if we're lucky. Holy shit we are so underwhelming.

 

[ChocaEgg]

eesh, some really bad throws by hamburger

 

[Herbie]

WHY THE FUCK IS TOMMI HILL PLAYING. LET COLEMAN PLAY

 

[Hardknocks1]

I can’t stand watching teams run triple that don’t know how and don’t have it as a consistent part of their offense

 

[ChocaEgg]

sanford the cowboy!!!

Negative. You only get a second if you are successful on the first.
