I think we do have the resources, just not the resources for a QB this year....because we just paid for a QB last year that is still on the roster. When Altmyer is gone, if we don't have a good starter, I'm sure we'll go out an get one.

It's seemed to me he had at least 4 flags a game easy. 3 of them were just stupid.
We can do better.
Personal opinion, and I certainly hope to be wrong about the punching bags, but history would suggest that. I don't think the odds of a national championship are materially different whether we're in the power group or not, even making the playoff would probably be a once-in-thirty-years thing.
If we end up in ten years back with a 10-12 team conference (meaning UM, tOSU, Oregon, etc. have ascended into the P1), well that's life. If I can still go see the Illini play Iowa or Purdue or Wisconsin on a nice fall Saturday, it's not the worst thing.
But we already have coast-to-coast conferences with zero geographic or historical affiliation. Cal in the ACC? And as of yesterday you have a clear signal that no matter what a non-P2 team does (FSU), you are not worthy of a seat at the table. I don't see it as a big stretch at all to see a consolidation to a P1 as TV contracts expire in a few years.
After that i never wanted to see him in orange and blue again. Inexcusable lack of character and a loose cannon. Spit him out!
Is he stopping there on the way to Minsk?
This what got me. Others as well. Jawing unnecessarily. Especially when refs are on your case already.And he could never shut his mouth after a play unless he was spitting at someone
Ahhhh….gotcha. That does make sense.
Any wide receivers that can switch to defense?

Only if we don't get someone as good or better from the portal to replace him, IMO
From what I saw this year, this isn’t a big loss. Seemed like he was trying to be the next Spoon but trying was about as close as he got:
You’re on to something. I think football eventually goes to a nationwide P1 of 32 teams or fewer. All other sports (and the uninvited football schools) will revert to more regional conferences, including a reborn Pacific conference.
Would still be fun to be in a football conference with Minny, Iowa, Indiana, Purdue, Nerdwestern, Maryland, Rutgers, and probably several of Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and MSU. Maybe loop in Missouri, too. Require the 3-5 programs that depart to the Superleague to share a portion of their revenue with the remainder (ala Bowl revenue) if they want their other sports to remain in the conference. I’d be happy to keep pounding scUM, tOSU and Ped State during hoops season.
Been a long journey from Milan to Terre Haute.
Sebastian Cheeks from unc is in the portal. Former 4 star from Evanston.

I see he's from Springfield Illinois and played at Springfield High. Transferring from Rutgers. He had several kickoff returns for long yardage and td's this year. Interesting move to Indiana Sycamores.
Closer to home and opportunity to play. Local kid so I wish him the best
He had no TD's this year. Basically one big kick return against Wagner when Rutgers already had a considerable lead. He is versatile so hopefully he can contribute right away.
Insiders any shot at Ryan Turner?
