Can you point to the unrealistic expectations in here? Is being competitive with an 0-6 Nebraska team really an unrealistic expectation?
-
You mean the Ohio St. that got destroyed by a Purdue program whose staff was hired the same year as Fleck, and was maybe the worst program in the country when they took over? And I assume it's just coincidence that you left off Nebraska, who was 0-6 when they played us? You also didn't answer my question. That's my problem. I'm willing to be patient, but nobody will put a concrete expectation on paper. And I suspect they won't do it because they want to continue to defend Fleck no matter what the results are, no matter how long they continue. They can't do that if they commit to an expectation and it's not met.

This is why we need a strong third party. I think a lot of people don't like how they are represented, but can't fathom voting for the other party. They don't even consider that an option. Anecdotally, to that point, as farmers were referenced by Ben: I read a few weeks ago, Huffington Post I think, an article in which many farmers were interviewed. The overwhelming consensus was that most voted Trump, most acknowledged Trump's tariffs were responsible for their struggles, but yet not one said they'd consider changing their vote.

So how many Big 10 wins are reasonable to expect next year? I don't think anyone expects a Rose Bowl. How about at least hanging within 10 points in a Big 10 game? That'd at least be a step in the right direction. I think the complete lack of competitiveness in these games is what is causing impatience. People might be more willing to see a light at the end of the tunnel if they were competing, but just not mature enough to know how to seal the deal yet. That's not the case though. They just get clobbered week in and week out, even to other struggling programs and other new coaching staffs. Where is the progress?
-
What's the point? Be honest, could the level of play sink low enough between now and the end of the season that you'd change your mind? I don't gather that you would, so what difference does it make to you if I wait until after the year to make any judgments?

If he was instrumental in signing Nishioka, then he has no case. Ok, that was kind of a joke, but unless they were dumb enough to say out loud, or in writing, that they were firing him because of his age, which I highly doubt, then he has no chance.

Absolutely I do. Someone with his level of narcissism, impulsivness, temper, lack of empathy and seemingly complete disregard for life and/or limb of anyone he doesn't like is dangerous. I feel like there is a ticking time bomb in the White House, and am not optimistic that he won't be the cause of something that lives in the history books for thousands of years- if humans survive his presidency. Do you trust a man of his temperament in full control of nukes, and the most powerful military in the history of the world?
-
I don't know if it's still working as intended now. Example: One intent of the delegate representation system for Presidential elections was to prevent the people from electing a dangerous, incompetent like Trump. That failed.

Your Turn: What Do You Want From A Manager?
Mr. Brooks replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That's going to be pretty tough, unless he's going back in time. You don't put on an event like they did for Joe, only to bring him back for another season. -
9:45 central. Drawing is at 10:00.
-
For yards, sure. I never look at yards for team offense/defense. Points isn't really a stat though. There is never a situation where a defense stops trying to prevent the opposing team from scoring. Aside from the very rare occasion when a team that's out of timeouts lets the opponent score so they can get the ball back.
-
Well the Vikings are 14th in the league in defensive points allowed. And they've played 3 rookie QB's. They are a middle of the pack defense. I'm not sure when it became controversial to try to use facts to find a common ground.

Your Faith in Humanity During an Emergency
Mr. Brooks replied to Vanimal46's topic in The Sports Bar
Perhaps not everyone thinks it will only be a day or two. And perhaps not everyone considers it just a minor inconvenience. Bolling drinking water for yourself, or even a small family may sound simple enough. For many people's situations though, it may not be practical. Nursing homes, hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, and restaurants come to mind. Elderly and/or partially disabled people also may find bottled water much more practical than boiling and storing. I'm sure there are plenty more. -
Ok, but the post I was responding to was comparing the Rams to us. As you said, we've both played some pretty weak offenses. We've played 2 common opponents. We allowed 16 to SF, LA only allowed 10. We allowed 10 to ARI, LA allowed 0. We'll see how many they allow to GB next week, to whom we allowed 22.
-
The Rams are 4th in the NFL @ 18.3 ppg. Vikings are 14th @ 23.6. How are the Rams defense more leaky than the Vikings? Yes, scoring is up. So, the actual pot numbers may be higher, but ranking is still ranking, and the Vikings are 14th.
-
His defense was pretty bad before. It's ventured into abysmal in the small sample we have this year. Do guys in the NBA just not have any pride in even pretending to try to stop the other team anymore? Watching KG in his prime was so much fun, he took that side of the ball personally. KAT looks like he couldn't care less on defense- along with the rest of the team. This Wolves philosophy of "first team to 140 wins" does nothing for me.

Sadly, there might not be a solution Mike. This just might be America now. But, splitting up the union isn't an option. Not peacefully anyway. And, with the advancements in weaponry, another civil war would make the first one look like child's play.
-
Missing the rest of the game is quite the hard sell.
-
While I try to remain optimistic that America will do the right thing. I can't help but be skeptical, as Mike is. At the very least, I think it is going to take a lot longer to change our course than some think. Trump is bulletproof among his supporters, and that was enough to win last time. I expect him to win again in 2020.
-
That's a myth anyway. 9 of 11 defensive starters are upperclassmen. 1 freshman, 1 sophomore. And, we just got steamrolled by a true freshman QB. But, yeah, some will say we do. I was told I can't expect a Big 10 win for 3 or 4 more years, a couple pages back.
-
Great second half performance after sleepwalking through the first half. Hopefully that second half carries over to the NO game.
-
Atta boy Harrison. Way to step up and make a play.
-
Awful decision by Zimmer.
-
Why not go for it here? This is a long fg attempt into that wind.
-
Combined 0-12 on third down.
