ECU fires coach…

Are you saying I’m wrong that BoBo hired the worst coach in all of CFB? ADs are only as successful as their network of people and that includes potential coaches. He may have reached out to other coaches, but he was unprepared for Brohms departure. His lack of preparation means that he hadn't done the networking necessary to recruit a B1G coach, or he would have gone with someone other than CRW - which everyone (even those quick to jump onboard) acknowledged at the time was a risky hire due to his lack of HC experience. And we were sold that CRW is a defensive genius (fail), and further Bielema over the winter said that the defensive scheme was a collaborative effort that he personally led, not CRW. How does this not come out in the reference checks for CRW?

I haven’t confirmed or denied. That wasn’t the topic.

But there is zero evidence he wasn’t prepared. You’ve yet to show any. So say he hadn’t done the networking. Where you seeing that? There is zero evidence. In fact, if you are claiming he reached out to other coaches, how can you say he wasn’t prepared? He literally got Beamer a nice raise.

No, I don't seem to agree. Tactical nukes are not certain to be used but even if they are, you still have to secure territory and hold it with armor and infantry.


"Thus, you seem to agree that fighting them in Ukraine does the US no good and will not matter to the security of NATO countries because any further Russia invasions will involve tactical nukes."

You seem to be assuming that if Russia uses tactical nukes it's all over. NATO won't respond? Nukes haven't been used in Ukraine but we just assume Russia would use them when they go into Poland? The first one to use nukes puts themselves in serious diplomatic, economic, and political peril.

I'm stating the views expressed by trump. He has talked about how NATO is obsolete. He has said he wouldn't help our allies attacked by Russia if they weren't spending their 2%..........directly undermining Article 5 that has been in place for 75 years.

Trump is going to spend as much if not more than any democrat on the military, funneling taxpayer money to big arms suppliers. You need to let that one go or admit trump will do the same or more.

Agree on tactical nukes, which France and UK have. Thus, you seem to agree that fighting them in Ukraine does the US no good and will not matter to the security of NATO countries because any further Russia invasions, as unlikely as that would be given the proven ineptitude of the Russian army, will involve tactical nukes.

You are misstating my views. I didn't say we should leave NATO, only that NATO countries should be paying for the Ukraine war if they think it is worth it to them. Collectively they have 17x the GDP of Russia, so they are wealthy - but happy to take advantage of US taxpayers for a non-NATO operation, courtesy of a Biden admin that wants to channel taxpayer money to big arms suppliers. That is the establishment at work even if you cannot understand it.

Michigan 500,000 more registrations than voters of eligible age.....what could possibly go wrong??

Again, are you actually saying it is a good situation to have more people registered to vote, than actual voters?

Surely not??

If there were no safeguards in place to prevent someone from taking advantage I would agree. But there is.

This is what most of the MAGA arguments come down to. This is possible or that could happen. What is the REAL WORLD scenario where the system is taken advantage of?

Michigan requests an ID when you vote but if you don't have it you can sign an affidavit.
You're an industrious guy. You could surely find one of the names of the registered voters that is no longer in the state. Drive up there and sign an affidavit and vote for trump. See how that works out.

If IU pulls off this class of Sisley/ Mullins/Haralson/Reibe.....

Well, they do like to come here pumping their chest out of the NIL dealings. They some how equate this into recruiting (investment into a player before they hit a college floor) and they have failed miserably at it.

We have given them a system of how this whole recruiting 'thing' works and they still don't get. it! Become a winning program, a coach that gives his all to the players before they set-foot on campus and show the recruit a family environment.

They laughed at CMP for spending a ton of time on Sisley. We pay CMP to recruit, win and make Purdue a great environment. IU pays Woodson to write checks......that's it! They can laugh all they want CMP is doing exactly what he gets paid to do and Woodson hasn't done what he gets paid to do.

Yes, I do agree with you....we shouldn't give 2 cents about the program.

What happens to our program, if Walters does not end up getting let go this year?

Are you serious,....there are coaches out there that can atleast not make us a laughing stock.... We will never be a top tier big ten team....but damn we can find somebody to make us competitive in games and give us a 7-5 type program

Or we just need to get a stupid rich alum who can elevate us. Oregon was not an elite program until Phil knight fixed that.

I hope this is TIC because the issue isn’t the roster. The lack of discipline and giving up games. We’ve seen 4-5 star talent in teams that stink and we’ve seen indinia thrive under the right coach and culture.

You clearly don’t read the board much.

This team has 4-7 win talent and a 1 win coach!

We’ll look, if we just had $20mil to put together a roster none of this would be an issue
