Who here has had a good look at Illinois?  Who here predicted they would do this well?
I knew Bert would get them competitive but he's a year early for me.

Sure as hell not kharma and UW just might have found a Head Coach.Hopefully they can pry Brian Ferentz from Iowa as the Buckeyes play at The Camp next year
I can just about guarantee you that OSU will not play in Madison next year.

It isn't new of course, but it amuses me that a QB can pitch the ball forward on an end around and get counted as a pass.  If the play goes for 50 yards, it looks really impressive on the sheet.  Somewhere I'd guess there is a stat on passing yardage without YAC.

That was also my thought on Illinois. They're a year ahead of schedule.

More than a year evidently he's learned after making a mess of a coaching situation and an ass of himself.Every one deserves a 2nd chance.Maybe the Illini also have more talent than believed or he's just making it fun and they are responding in kind.I hope they win out :cheer: ;D.Helps the Buckeyes SoS

Bert is definitely a player's coach. With few exceptions (2008 comes to mind) all of his players loved him.

C'mon, do you really believe the bullshit that we spent $30 million on NIL?  And if we did, do you really think that A&M has the richest and largest alumni base that we could outspend all the other major programs? 
Well in his defense Texans love football and there is a shit load of oil money and other sources there.And Military people are well connected so there's that.It's more about Fisher though,he comes across the wrong way. And Fisher really didn't do a whole lot at FSU except when Jamais was there

Warren enjoys bridge.  He partners with Bill Gates on occasion.

False.  Fisher had a very good record before and after Jameis came on board.

It's a what did you do for me lately world, but the narrative that Jameis was the reason why he was so successful is bull.  I think he was only there two seasons.  

I don't even understand your statement about the military and Texas A&M.  Oil money, possibly, but nobody really believes that we ponied up $30 mil for CFB do they?  As stated, I think the official stats, required by Texas law, are about 2-3 million for the entire AD.
