That depends on what you…

That depends on what you mean by 'serviceable'...because...

looks across the B1G....

last year, I think there were maybe 3 or 4 of what i'd consider serviceable QBs across the conference. 

QB'ing at the major CFB level is hard...we've been spoilt with JJ for the last two years..and a 'good, not great..but doesnt make mistakes' Cade the year before. 

This whole idea of he's a…

This whole idea of he's a Milton clone keeps coming up and is old.

We all know the answer to this...the goal post is on wheels.

This timeline makes much more sense than the idea that Hart is pissed and Moore waited this long to replace him.

Talking heads have been whoring themselves over UM for years but have turned it up a notch in the last year or so w the teams return to glory.

I think it's all or nothing…

I think it's all or nothing for them now that UM has won it all. They didn't spend all that money just to win the conference title

It's a few no bodies and probably bots on social media.  Engage at your own risk.  

Nothing to do with freedom of speech tho...

I mean, you just freely spoke and others freely disagreed...no one is going to prison over it. 🙂

Yeah, sure go ahead and…

Yeah, sure go ahead and blame it on their mother :)

No...it is stupid…

No...it is stupid. MultiBILLION dollar TV contracts, facilities, administration etc and yet 'hand outs' for the players. 

This can't be real life...

He would have won 3…

He would have won 3 conference and 1 national championships. I say that's faring significantly better..

And yet the player didn't…

And yet the player didn't leave...so sounds like said player feels he's getting more by being a wolverine than he'd get by transferring. 

It's nuts to expect UM to get into bidding wars with every booster in the country for every player that just happens to get an offer that may be a significant outlier. Doing so would absolutely destroy team chemistry.  

The issue isn't UM being cheap its an industry that basically makes little sense.  

Semi-pro sports do not fit a universities charter. Its a square peg, round hole problem. 

Gift from the FB Gods.

This...no where else in the…

This...no where else in the world do you have multi-billion dollar sports enterprises within the umbrella of a University charter. They don't and can't logically fit together. All efforts to force it to stay together will be messy and eventually fail.

Going forward...as in 6 months.  

Anyone spending time posting on a CFB message board in February is hooked...and will be watching come late August/September.

How in the world did McNabb end up going from Chicago to Syracuse...skipping over all that B1G country. 

 

 

Yes, this is exactly what…

Yes, this is exactly what came to mind for me as I read the OP. Basketball has some similar ball-eye-hand/body coordination requirements. BB players are making constant body spacing adjustments, making decisions on what to do with the ball before it arrives and doing so in tight spaces whilst being contested. 

OSU is always a national…

OSU is always a national championship contender. It's just hard to get there...especially when you share a conference with the actual champ.

Or during the spring game...make it a half-time show with NIL sponsors...this QB tampering is brought to you by Zimmerman's and come with a $weeet Bag of hard cold ca$h. 

No connected for life as 3x…

No connected for life as 3x B1G champions...period.  Leave the NCAA BS out of it. 

Yeah, like yesterday...can't…

Yeah, like yesterday...can't have NIL + portal without contracts...

Also, there are going to be a lot more athletes coming out the other end without pro prospects AND without degrees. 

The problem w so many teams,…

The problem w so many teams, is so many games and the impact that will have on the student-athletes. Top players will get injured in early round games that shouldn't even be played.

It just absolute greed. 

The success the last three…

The success the last three years was as much about the Oline as the Dline. And next years Oline is a massive question mark. With so many new starters its really hard to know how well they will mesh and how long it will take them to come together. 

Question marks at QB and Oline should given any one pause... this will be one of the biggest crapshoot seasons in recent memory.

"but if the O-line develops and is a top 5 unit in the country,"

Replacing the entire line almost never happens anywhere so top 5 in the country seems highly unlikely even for SM. But, maybe we'll have to settle for top 6 to 8 🙂

Hell Warde wasn't even mentioned in the OP and yer someone felt the need to take a shot at him instead of celebrating this head to head "W" over an SEC team.

Don't cop out...demand better. The powers that be want people to feel powerless and just accept that nothing is going to change...well its become a self-fulling prophecy

This is such a cop out, bs response. 

I live in London a city of millions and it has gangs and crime like other big cities. But it feels infinitely safer than any city I've visited in the US...and that's because, it is much, much less likely that a, nutjob having a bad day might decide to shoot up the place. And this is down to strong gun laws..period. 

America is in such a massively dangerous state of denial.

This guy signed 2 4 star…

This guy signed 2 4 star dlinemen to Wisky this last cycle which is a big improvement for them...

I doubt they are any better at NIL check writing than UM.

In year one of Mike Mac none…

In year one of Mike Mac none of the position coaches knew the ravens system and yet the did pretty damn well.  So, don't think that should be a significant issue as long as Wink is a good communicator and teacher. 

"I do think Sherrone needs…

"I do think Sherrone needs to act in decisive ways. He has lost the narrative here with the slow drip of departures. He needs to make it stop. I think it’s time to give people (including Mike Hart) a deadline. If you have to, pull offers and move on the next option."

Dude's livelihood and reputation is on the line and you think he's deliberately dragging his feet or not being decisive enough? I have no idea what's going on but I'll assume he's taking this job seriously and is moving expeditiously. 

If that bar was any lower…

If that bar was any lower you'd be in negative territory.

He gets to coach talent that he could only dream of at UCLA, doesn't have to deal with as much BS with recruiting, NIL and portal since he's not the HC and he's working with people he already knows.  

Its not that hard to see why he'd go this route. 

How is that even possible?

How is that even possible?

Seems Dante Moore knew exactly what he was doing when he bailed. 

Exactly this...they are…

Exactly this...they are clearly trying to become more balanced/run heavy team. Actually, more like what UM has become and kicked their ass with and what Urban was throughout...saw bit of it last year but didn't seem like Day was committed enough to it. But, they now have 2 major horses in the backfield that will expect to be fed, a QB that's a more than capable runner but not an all-world passer...so this hire, someone that Day has worked with and is like to listen to makes a lot of sense for them. A def upgrade from BOB and what they've done w Do it all Day.
