Breaking news; if you have played in sports for more than a minute you have at very least heard negative comments and most likely have read negative comments. Not saying it's right, just part of the game(s)....... for just about ever.
Partly agree.... We are in new territory with the advent of internet, social media, etc. Never before in human history could anyone in the world contact someone they have never met and criticize and talk trash to them about how they do their job, their looks, family, etc.. Also, 99% of those hiding behind their computer would never in front of that person say those same things; however, doesn't mean it doesn't negatively affect people receiving those criticisms daily via computer any less.

Come on dude. Imos is just fine. There is a reason Brad like to talk about the Pizza Hut parking lot. It's because nobody dares to enter that place without being prepared for an untimely death.
Nappanee’s PH was so bad that it went out of business. With that roofline, it’s a living memorial to bad pizza.

With the current rotate

with the current roster and money spent what are realistic expectations?

Yes it is a lot of money but a lot of others spent a similar amount

Big Ten looks loaded next year. Finishing top 4 seems realistic along with at least a S16

If you believe everything one "insider has said the last few months this is pretty good for a coach who was being forced to fire staff, had donors pulling money for recruits etc. because having the winningest coach in the Big Ten for the last 5 plus years just wasn't cutting it :rolleyes:

Untimely death in the Pizza Hut parking lot is from not being tough enough and getting the crap kicked outta you. Untimely death at Imos is swallowing one bite of pizza. 😂

In keeping with the theme of next year's team, here's the list:
1. Livanjski Cheese, produced by Orman dairy from Livno
2. Golden Cheese, from the booth of the farm Zlatni bor in the name-like village in Foča, on the plateau of the Tara Canyon
3. Fresh goat cheese provence by the dairy Carpe Diem from Srbobran

I like it. If Ben had been recruited and then was played as if that was his role, no problem. (But that’s what Jake Davis was supposed to be I guess)

But it looked like Ben was recruited and then asked to fill Coleman’s shoes in terms of playing time and contribution.
I don't think it helped Ben that you had national media saying things like this prior to the season (admittedly no doubt encouraged by practice reports...) and those sound bites being picked up and amplified by local media:

The expectations of Ben were clearly too high in retrospect. Hopefully a reduced role with accordingly reduced expectations will help him play with less pressure and (again, hopefully) excel in that role.
