I'd love to talk politics with the board, but that's not the point here. Reminder - it's Election Day here in the USA. This is the 2nd most important Election Day in the 4-year cycle. Whether you're happy with your local, state and national politicians or not -- please exercise your right to vote. You may be thinking I don't like any of the candidates in the senate or (maybe) gubernatorial election. Ok - write someone in or leave that portion of the ballot blank. (If you live in Nevada you can vote for 'none of the above'). Even if you're just angry at the national or state level races - I'm certain there are local candidates or initiatives that *will* impact your life. So here's your chance to exercise that free will muscle. Regardless of who you support, please vote today if you haven't already. Mods - perhaps this should be locked? I don't want it to devolve into... what it will surely devolve into 🙂 @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel @Jeff Howe

I'll trust it's detailed review of all list and ranking sources over your opinion any day.

This is true. I read up on the OSU situation. It was his decision to leave, however, he didn't do well and was fired from the Raiders. He has raised Northwestern's per game scoring to 33 points from 23. That's an accomplishment, and I'll give him that, but their offense is nothing special. Have you watched them?

No need for redshirts anymore with the 5 year eligibility rule.

No more redshirts in the 5x5 era…

BTW, I thought Elkins and Laurencikas would RS. I was surprised when they were inserted for one minute. I think it would have made sense to RS them.

Stubhub... The Memphis game in December is a good one to attend.

I think Johnson will have to play a lot of minutes against good teams, at least until Lewis is all the way back.

If anyone is selling BB tickets before conference play, I would like to take my son and grandson to a game. Paul

Jeff, Good read. re David Punch - how was his contribution? Sounds like Spears was the highlight reel. Also any recommendations for rewatching game or getting some clips? Thanks, P

"we want Caleb, we want Caleb"

Caleb’s scramble ability always elevated his play. Ben Johnson has developed Williams a lot in two years. He was under developed under Riley imo

Remember how bad 5-star, NFL QB Spencer Rattler looked in Lincoln Riley's system? Then, Caleb Williams came in and they were humming again. Some guys can handle certain systems better than others.

I don't disagree but doesn't mean we should put up with things just because we were down before.

It is unbelievable that Sark/Flood haven’t been able to diagnose and remedy the problem at this stage of the season. Not even a slight improvement. Damn, Sark maybe hire an emergency consultant/analyst. Get a retired NFL guy, but just do something.

For anyone who stumbles into this in the morning, would you have ever thought that the Pancake Factory could be a flop? Maybe we need to sign up Alaska Airlines as a sponsor for a 2027 reset. (Check out their lounge if you get a chance)

To your point, there seems to be a lack of killer instinct. Mauling guys, etc. At least I've not seen it.

I think it depends on what Sark does with the offense. If you hire an OC/QB coach, they typically want their own guy for the OL. If he doesn't go that route which one of these fit with what Sark does offensively?

Reminds me that Sark has been a very bad 3rd qtr coach since 2021 when Caleb went in for Rattler. Texas was winning 38-10 at the half and only managed 3 pts in 3rd and 7pts in 4th. Regardless, of Texas’ porous run defense and PK’s inability to stop the run, Sark should have been able to put more points on the board. ou’s D was horrible back then.

I know people say Flood is good at T's but outside of Banks I just don't see it. Banks would've been great anywhere, imo. Maybe I'm wrong. But there does need to be some serious eval's into why that room is always a weak point. Is it S&C, is it Flood, is it Sark, is it the scheme? Combination of all? Who really knows. But it's obvious that something isn't working and hasn't been working all that well for a while;.
