Ross Bjork gets to make his first major hire before his family gets to move to Columbus .
Wouldn't have guessed that losing Jamison Battle to OSU would lead to these midseason results for MN and OSU.
Two very good points , my friend.......it is strange that the loss of Jameson has affected goofers in a good way that has also affected osu in a bad way ......goes against all common sense in that Jameson is a good player with a great 3 pt shot ability...........
Nah, Have you seen the Mountain West this year? Far too talented for him. Holtmann deserves to be knocked down to the Horizon or Summit league based on his record.
To be fair, I didn’t say Holtmann would be looking at good teams in those conferences. He’s just not going to get a job in the Big East, Big Ten, ACC, or Big 12. I’d probably throw the SEC in there as well, but there might be a crappy team firing their coach who would see his Butler record and his Big Ten experience (however bad it may be) and take a flier. I wouldn’t, but ADs are a strange group sometimes.
pretty good chance that he ends up coaching at a school that doesn’t play football
Here's a question.
I know this will sound like a cop out, but I’d want to go through the interview/reference process. Holtmann seemed to be on the path to being a long-term power conference coach before crashing in Columbus. Groce obviously had his issues at Illinois but has rebounded very nicely at Akron. Both have highlights and question marks. Just based on external records and what we’ve seen, I see them as more or less equal at the moment.
I know. I couldn't leave the 2 games comment hanging with out some context.
Thank you!! What is he now, 7th year?
I'm just glad we get Minnesota at home in our lone matchup.
It has a little bit of a feeling of our football game with Northwestern where what looked early on like the easiest win on the schedule suddenly starts to look like the Little Engine That Could.
It is Wisconsin, so maybe Howard grows a pair of fists again??
If for no other reason than that it dramatically reduces the odds of a plague outbreak, I agree.
Looks quite a bit like Carver-Hawkeye Friday night. There were sections where my son and I could count the number of fans on our hands and have fingers left over.
One possession game by halftime. Book it.
thought so.
