It’s true, I had forgotten about some of those guys Rick. Brandon Taylor was awesome, probably the shortest dude on the floor but had the biggest heart out of anyone. But I do agree, those guards under Larry are better than what Smith has been able to recruit so far. I really like our bigs, but outside of Smith and Madsen, our guards seem to be…[Read more]

Every time I tune in to a BB game, I pine for the Majerus years. Some of it is nostalgia as I was attending the University at the time and had classes with several of the team members, but mostly it is because Rick was the master of taking the other team out of what they were trying to do. Utah’s defense under Majerus was a thing of beauty.…[Read more]

Keita is such a beast. He is so strong and athletic even bigger players have a hard time dealing with him.

Well Michigan special teams give Bama the ball back and subsequent touchdown. Not really rooting for either team, but it’s hard to root for Alabama/SEC for any reason.

Exactly. tOSU had offensive problems with the 2nd string QB who got injured in the second quarter and then the 3rd string freshman with zero experience. Barnes played in and started a majority of our games this year. Our offense looked just as pathetic in the bowl game as it did against Florida in game 1.

I can see Whitt thinking that Barnes gives us the best chance to win, but after his first half performance, I don’t know how he could still think that? Roll tape on the Baylor game same Barnes, same issues, zero growth on decision making through the season. Your dude is in the transfer portal, let him go. Hell we could have probably scored 7…[Read more]

Why not give another career backup a chance to see what he could do? Sticking with Barnes the entire game is a total head scratcher. Seriously, how much worse could it have gotten to give Bottari a few series? Barnes holds the ball waaaaay to long and can’t throw it away.

Well, Alabama won their 7 SEC title in the last 10 years (yawn). Somehow I don’t fee bad for Georgia at all. The 12 team playoff can’t come soon enough.

That’s how I see it as well. Was Nate ever in a situation to get starting reps and not split them with Cam? From that standpoint I can see why he was complaining about development opportunities and the chance to get better and learn from his mistakes. It also seems like (from his point of view) there was a lack of communication or of maybe…[Read more]

We really need a couple of backs that are reliable. As good as Moss and Booker were both of them were run into the ground and in November games they were playing hurt. Just think if how different this season could have been if we had Bernard in the mix at RB.

Penix to Odunze on a 30 yard bomb looks pretty good, especially in that kind of weather.

Yeah, the QB room was completely mismanaged this year. Rising should never have been taking practice reps away from Barnes and especially NJ if he wasn’t cleared to play. Maybe those missed practice reps could have made a difference (even for Barnes) at this point of the season.

I can’t understand why NJ wasn’t put into the game in the second half especially after Barnes threw his second pick. We weren’t coming back at that point anyway.

Not too surprising with the talent level they have. Their defense has major issues which has cost them games against ranked opponents, but CW playing hero ball can absolutely sow chaos and confusion on even the most disciplined defense. Is it going to blow up in his face from time to time, sure but the times it’s not he is connecting on 40 yard…[Read more]

I think that Whitt did the smart thing in announcing that Rising (and Kuthie) are out for the remainder of the season. Barnes doesn’t need to look over his shoulder and wonder if the next week is going to be the week that Cam is back, so that distraction is now gone.

This also allows Barnes to get the starting reps as well as a game plan that is…[Read more]

Having an offense that can move the ball and is fun to watch the last 2 years has made this year seem lesser somehow. The awesome thing is that regardless of some of the ugly wins we are sitting at 6 and 1 without an established QB running the show and several of our starters either out or with season ending injuries.

At this point of the…[Read more]
