Finally, after four tries - finally sub-5. PR feels so good. Time to go eat way too much pizza and ice cream.

UCLA and Northwestern beating Penn State is an example of how tough the entire Big Ten is and 5 teams should make the playoffs... Am I saying this right SEC?!??

Northwestern has a transitive win over Penn State. Also an actual win over Penn State

I will not be directing anyone’s attention towards the score of the Northwestern game, it’s too early

Carbs + banana? Can’t think of anything better!

NO. As a dual MSU/NU fan, we do not want Fitz. He was starting to tailspin at the end of his time in Evanston. Not a good coach in this era. Good motivator, but too loyal to shitty staff. Very similar to late-stage Dantonio.

Is it possible the Smith hire was an overcorrection after the Tucker era? Going from a coach obsessed with swag and his own brand to a man with absolutely no brand whatsoever.

Maybe we need someone down the middle.

I still think Smith needs one more offseason… but this is pathetic. I don’t know if there’s another win on this schedule.

Thinking about this post right now… for no reason.

Although I guess it depends on how the rest of the season goes. If you only get 1 more win, I think you pull the plug. If you can squeeze out another 5-7 record, with the remaining schedule, I think you give him another year.

Final shakeout. 24 hours to go.

@sickoscommittee.org was at the Chicago Marathon expo and WKU had a booth! They’re handing out Big Red stickers to real ball knowers!
