  1. Let's just say that I don't think that this is completely unrelated to a certain recent incident in New York City, and that's all I'm going to say.
  2. As of the beginning of this week, according to 24/7 Edwards was tied for the 14th ranked QB in the portal by rating (.8700). Of the 13 ranked ahead of him, five had already committed. Of the remaining eight, only three had thrown more than 100 passes in FBS games - Mendoza (Cal), Murphy (Duke), and Salter (Liberty). Mateer had not officially entered the portal yet (and it's likely he's following his OC to Oklahoma). If you wanted an experienced starter, your options at the time were Mendoza, Murphy, Salter, and Edwards. If you wanted someone with P4 experience, scratch Salter. According to sources, UW reached out to Mendoza to visit, but he declined. Also, Maryland's OL was ranked in the bottom 5 in all of FBS. The most popular player on every team is the backup QB.
  3. Big day, got their likely starting QB in Billy Edwards from Maryland. Edwards the likely starter, O'Neil the backup. More evidence that the coaches don't think that Mettauer will be ready next year. Also picked up a 3rd DL, UT-Martin's Charles Perkins. FCS Freshman All-American in 2023. 64 tackles, 29 pressures, 13 TFLs, and 6.5 sacks over his freshman and sophomore seasons. Listed at 6'3", 300. Two years of eligibility remaining. And picked up a much-needed DB in Richmond's Matthew Traynor. 6'1", 200, safety w/69 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and 2 INTs last year as a redshirt freshman. Three years of eligibility remaining. Lastly got their long snapper in Eli Stein, a Wisconsin native and transfer from Arkansas. Got QB and DL shored up, need to grab a few more DBs.
  4. UW just got a 2nd DL in Corey Walker from Western Michigan in addition to Parker Peterson from Tulane. Peterson - 6'4", 300, 5 TFL, 2.5 sacks. Looks like he came in as an edge rusher and put on 40 lbs of good weight. Late bloomer. Walker - more of a DE, listed at 6'5", 270, 15 TFL and 8 sacks over the last two seasons. Might have been initially recruited as a TE out of HS.. Flipping from TE to DE and transferring from a Michigan directional school has worked out well in the past. Might be getting 2 QBs. Danny O'Neil from San Diego State apparently has committed. Started as a true freshman last year. And Billy Edwards from Maryland visited UW and then canceled his visit to Michigan.
  5. McManus has been dropping kickoffs right at the goal line all night long.
  6. And that's why you make Sam Howell beat you
  7. And that's why you don't
  8. The last thing you want to do is to give them momentum by stuffing them on 4th down. If you can go up by three scores, you do it.
  9. Enagbare with his Jack Cichy impersonation
  10. That's not on MLF, that was on Love. Need to save that last TO to be able to get your FG unit on the field if needed. MLF got the play in, Love took way too long to snap it.
  11. This is a society that put people on the moon before they thought to put wheels on luggage... That being said, I think it's more about what can we exclude that can get people to pay a $200 diagnostic fee.
  12. Right, but if those teams lose those guys they will need to replace them. I had been thinking Hoskins straight up for Montgomery if the D-Backs lose Walker. Salaries are almost identical. Montgomery had the worse 2024, but better 2023 and 2022. With the trade for Cortes, that probably won't happen.
  13. Scholarships are supposedly going to increase to 105 for the 2025 season once the House vs NCAA lawsuit is settled, with roster limits (including walk-ons) limited to 105 as well. So, there may be room for more than eight transfers, particularly once the spring portal window opens. As you mentioned, upper-classmen DBs, DL, and a QB are the priorities with an edge rusher and TE already in the fold. And there are 12 teams in the playoffs this year who have had few players enter the portal (so far almost 2,000 in FBS, or almost 15 per team). Once they're eliminated, there will be more players available.
  14. I have a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. Been having some issues with auto door unlock sensing the key fob, using the keypad to lock the vehicle, and a couple of other things. Did some internet searching and reading Lincoln owner threads and it seems like the most likely issue is that the battery is getting run down (but I'm not getting any warning messages for the battery running low). Among all of the electronics, display options on the dash, apps, and everything else, nowhere on the vehicle is there a voltmeter for the battery. It can sense the tire pressure on each tire, but it can't tell me what the charge on the battery is.
  15. Am I missing something with Freeland? Don't the Brewers have enough infielders, and aren't we concerned about numbers at Tulsa and Oklahoma City being a little inflated in those leagues? Or do I have the wrong Alex Freeland?
  16. Who had Boise State and Arizona State getting first round byes in the CFP playoffs? Indiana - Notre Dame will be interesting given their proximity. Wonder which round Texas is going to choke away.
  17. I was told that Adames wouldn't get $50M.
  18. When he was at BYU he brought them into Madison on 9/15/18 and knocked off the #6 ranked Badgers. And developed Zach Wilson into the #2 overall pick in the 2021 draft. Shouldn't have any issues bringing in any QBs - if they get concerned about a run-oriented offense, all he has to do is point to Wilson and the contract he got.
  19. Keep in mind, he was likely on Strike 2 here with his DUI, speeding arrest, and suspension. Better to leave on your own and start with a clean slate then get kicked out.
  20. Dike, yes, but those other receivers were at UCONN and Southern Illinois. They weren't exactly going against B1G DBs and defenses. UCONN was ranked 121st in strength of schedule, Southern Illinois is FCS. For Wedig and Barrett it was their last season of eligibility and they weren't going to start here, so I don't blame them for leaving. Wedig did not make all-conference, not even honorable mention. Huber was the only Badger to make 1st/2nd/or 3rd team All Conference. Paez and Rodas Johnson/Getachew would have been slight upgrades. They rotated plenty at DT, considering they only had 2-3 on the field at one time. Neal, Barten, Hills, Johnson, Lane, McDonald all rotated in. They would have been an upgrade over Lane and McDonald, slightly Barten and Johnson but Johnson needed to see the field so that he wouldn't leave. Dike is really the only one who could have mattered, maybe Johnson and Paez.
  21. There are expectations to be lived up to around here...
  22. Looking back, I don't know that their D was all that elite at the end. In 2022 they played one ranked team - Ohio State, who hung 31 on them in the first half, 45 through 3 quarters. Yes, they were 17th in ppg/game. But that includes: Illinois State (FCS, shutout), New Mexico State (82nd in ppg, gave up 7), Northwestern (128th in ppg, gave up 7), Iowa (123rd in ppg, gave up 17 with 7 coming from a pick-6), Nebraska (102nd in ppg, gave up 14), Illinois (95th in ppg, gave up 34 and lost), Michigan State (92nd in ppg, gave up 34 and lost) Washington State (80th in ppg, gave up 17) Purdue (75th in ppg, gave up 24), Maryland (67th in ppg, gave up 10), Minnesota (66th in ppg, gave up 23) Hell, not only was Ohio State the only ranked school they faced, it was the only school in the top half of ppg that they faced. Leonhard is also partially responsible for the lack of talent and depth on the current team. He's partially responsible for anybody recruited before 2023, which should be most of the 2--deep.
  23. Sure as hell barreled one up against the Mets in the playoffs!
  24. First two players in the portal - OLB Leon Lowery and CB Amare Snowden. Lowery is JAG, no big loss. Snowden was a high 3-star according to 24/7 who Fickell flipped from Cincinnati. He had some heavy things in his personal/family life this year, and may be looking to go closer to home or get a fresh start which would be understandable. Interesting thing is that Jesse Temple got an exit interview with Lowery, and he said that he was leaving because Tressel told him that they are going in a different direction with their defense next year. Between this and the firing of Longo, I'm guessing (and it's just a guess) that Fickell is on a performance improvement plan just like Chryst was and that changes are being asked/demanded to be made.
