It was your typical Goober season…. Meaningless.

I was dumb to think they had a chance today against a horrid Wisconsin team.

They are just not that good. Lucky to beat Nebraska. Northwestern debacle. Illinois debacle. Need I go on…

If PJ stays he might want to introduce the players, esp on Defense, the concept of tackling being the best option to stopping the other team.

One of many bummers is that our Rodents will head into next season unsure at the QB position, a position that we were hoping Kali would take a stranglehold on for the next few years.

I don't know how good AK would be at a school with comparable talent but a staff that is "good" at developing qb's. However, given his arm talent, athletic ability and from what we have heard his "intangibles" I think it's at least reasonable that at a comparable talented team but with a staff that is good at cleaning up mechanics and developing QB I think his floor would be "solid to good P5 QB" and his ceiling perhaps would be above avg to really good.

It's for those reasons that I think this is by far his biggest fail as a head coach here. People like to focus on his conservative shit and his goofy antics, and trust me all that stuff is very goddamn rippable, but this AK going backwards just killed the entire season. That and it's a complete mystery to me as to what happened with this defense.

The irony is I think he wants out. No idea what they should do, no idea what they will do, I just know it really fucking sucks....

I have no idea, if I were him I would want out - but from program perspective, who cares? You have proven you can't take a guy who needs polishing but has upside and develop him so what good is he to us?

Feek, what's your thought on QB going forward?

I would like to go on record as doing a complete 180 on my desired outcome on whether our team makes the postseason. Had you asked me earlier this morning I would have laughed at the notion and said it's embarrassing, in fact I think I actually did in this thread at some point. However full disclosure I want to go on record as being 100% in support of this occurring now if the below information comes to fruition.

I stumbled onto some bowl projections prediction deal and it had our squad going to play in the New Mexico Bowl against.......Mr Jerruh Kill and the New Mexico State squad.

As I'm sure all would agree this would be the one way it would be something to want to have happen as it's simply hilarious as fuck on so many levels. :lol:

The news is they are going to a bowl game. Not enough teams with 6 wins so it goes by GPA ranking!

It's legit. Brad Johnson's kid from Texas A&M is also in the portal.
