    I wasn't surprised. If he was on the roster, I think there was a plan to pitch him and you want him pitching at home. A young rookie pitcher who can be a bit wild needs to be set up for success, and the best way to do that is to pitch him at home where he has the crowd behind him and not against him. Pitching on the road... probably best to leave that to the veterans. Rookies can easily melt down in that environment. They had a backup plan in Chad Patrick if Miz wasn't sharp. Made a ton of sense to use a well-rested bullpen at home and then save their ground-ball starter for Wrigley where he can mitigate the winds as well as the crowd reaction from home runs.

    Let's give Murph some credit where credit is due. Use the bullpen for a home game, save Priester for Chicago where his tendency to get ground balls can take the wind out of the equation.

    If we can get this ump to call a strike a strike, we'll be doing alright

    As was his bench coach picking his nose after giving Greg the one finger sign.

    Los is pretty full of himself

    Chad Patrick bustin' it 97/98 out of the pen? Good grief.

    He didn't transfer in until after spring practice, so he may have been behind in the learning curve on the offense. He also had a season-ending injury and may not have been healthy enough to participate in football activities until fall camp.

    Purely subjective. I don't find anyone jumping at the Nortwestern or Rutgers or Maryland jobs because they're in the B1G. If you can find quotes from coaches that support that, I'll acknowledge. The objective part is that Oklahoma State has been a better program than UW for the last decade, and that is not debatable. What time period would be relevant for this discussion?

    September is the worst. But October is 4th worst and August is in the middle of the pack.

    Sell them on Facebook Marketplace. Post on social media to your friends/family that you have tickets for sale. Post on NextDoor or other local neighborhood social media sites. Tack up a sign on the bulletin board in the break room at work. And you don't have to pay seller fees that way. StubHub/Vivid Seats/etc. aren't the only way to sell your tickets.

    Oklahoma State finished top 10 in 2021 and played in the Fiesta Bowl that year. They were also top 20 in 2023. Wisconsin hasn't finished in the top 25 since 2019. Oklahoma State has finished in the top 20 six times in the last 10 years, Wisconsin four. I think you're selling Oklahoma State short.

    They gave a big (at the time) extension to Davante Adams after he got a serious concussion on a blatant head-hunt from a Bears linebacker. I know that Doubs has had multiple concussions, but I don't believe that either was as bad as the hit that Adams took. That being said, the science is starting to show that it's more about quantity of concussions. The fact that they have fewer draft picks over the next two years is all the more reason to extend him, one less position that they need to plan for. Remember that 3/$30M is basically baseline for any FA WR now, and pretty much all NFL contracts are structured to be 2-year contracts if need be.

    A lot is spent to cater to stupid people who inherit stupid wealth.

    That sounds like an execution issue, not a play-calling issue. And what's MLF supposed to say? "Yeah, Kraft screwed up by not even bothering to look where the ball was spotted which cost us several seconds in getting set, and Love screwed up by dumping the ball off to a RB who couldn't get out of bounds." Of course he's going to publicly take responsibility because he's never going to publicly throw his players under the bus. He may say something completely different privately in practice and in film review.

    Agree, but I think there is another reason. Someone on the outside is going to look at this and see that a high-profile hire was only given three years and wasn't even given three full recruiting classes to rebuild the program. On top of that, the high-profile hire had to play backup QBs in most of their games because the high-profile transfer QBs they brought (bought?) were injured most of the time. Add to that being a head coach during basically the Wild West of college football with players going to the highest bidder... Is a prospective coach going to feel like he will "get a fair shake" at UW? Is a prospective coach going to feel like there is extra risk in taking the job and will have a really short leash? Increased risk needs to be countered with increased reward. A prospective coach is going to have to really want to come to UW, or is going to need to be paid more to account for the perceived increased risk of a very short leash. You don't get a better job after you get fired. Since UW has never competed for national championships, they will be on the same level as Oklahoma State or Stanford as far as program prestige and then it comes down to security and support. (Stanford's coach was fired after a short period of time, but it was for cause - bullying and belittling female staff members.)

    So did the Packers. They scored on 7 of their 10 possessions and had almost 500 total yards of offense (425 in regulation). The Bears scored on 5 out of 9 possessions (excluding the end of game) and had just under 400 yards of offense. Oh, and the Bears scored 31 points versus the Packers 37 in regulation.

    I like how people think it's so easy to call plays in a game where you have about 5 seconds to decide on what play to call with trying to get personnel in and out in time for the opponent to substitute with play clock. They scored on 7 out of their 10 possessions excluding the end of the 1st half, and yet somehow the play caller is a "mental midget".

    I think the main reason for why they did what they did is because of Aubrey. He's already hit from 64 this year. If they give Dallas any time, they don't need to get much yardage to give him a chance. As we saw, they didn't need much time to drive the length of the field.

    That cheap owner needs to spend some money and go for it!!!
  24. LouisEly
    Singed my eyebrows reading the premature hot takes in this thread.

    I think you can look at the pitching staffs for the first 46 and last 40 games compared to the middle 76 and come up with a fairly good explanation.
