BOOM! Feed my ego.
If Bert and Bart feel good about an offensive lineman, I feel good about an offensive lineman. After all, this is a hell of a coaching staff.

Welcome to the OandB. He is someone that would sit for a year or two at Wisc and then hit the ground running. We are building some good Oline depth. Never can have enough OL. We need the road graders.

- if you scroll down to the game vs Oconomowoc (what a name...) it is his full game highlights vs that team.
Doesn't look like he is a wrestler, to those that care about that (I do). Looks like a good get all things considering
He could easily add more weight and strength. Looks like a typical Wisky lineman.

They haven’t passed us yet but at the rate people are fleeing Illinois they probably will before too long.

Joey Oklahoma!
An old Keanu Reeves movie instantly came to mind.......Point Blank. He played a former college football player named Johnny Utah.
OK, carry on.

Intriguing connections. There are only a couple scholarships left, is it best to get a defensive lineman with one of those? My initial thought was a LB and safety.
Point Break actually, but close enough

Johnny Utah is my most used thumbs up gif. LOVE THAT MOVIE
We're 8 years late but how about a guard pairing of Okla and Homa, who also happened to grow up 20 minutes from each other? Panhandles>pancakes.

2019 estimates from the Bureau of the Census show PA at 12,801,989 and IL at 12,671,821. PA passed IL in population in 2017 to move into fifth behind CA, TX, FL, and NY.
@ACGonzales7 is going wild with his tweets
I agree as well. The only bowl game I watched a minute of was the championship game and even that was just on in the background. Everything else is just a consolation.
I think it was a mistake to repurpose the BCS games as playoff games. They needed to keep those rivalries intact.
I think the only way the thing improves is expand the playoff to include all of the conference champions. Each conference gets 1 entry. No committee, no rankings, no bye games. If some conference alignment needs to take place to make the numbers work that’s fine.
Reduce the non-conference in the beginning of the season to one game, or even zero games, to free up weeks for the expanded playoff.
All of the non-playoff teams can play regional rivalry games and other exciting match ups at the end of the season without the W/L pressure that would exist playing them early in the season when no one can afford a loss.

For the record, I was being sarcastic. Seems that this guy grew up in BB's backyard.
I'm entrusting all recruiting decisions to the new staff --- as long as they pepper in 5-6 four-star recruits each year starting in 2022.

No, I got it. Just asking the question.
Which is why no Alabama QB ever does squat in the NFL
