The Oregon State coach turned him into a solid to serviceable college QB. If Norvell was a good offensive mind he would attempt to emulate and install a similar offense around him.

Jordan Travis covered up a lot of crap from Norvell's play calling. I specifically remember how amateurish Norvell's play calling was vs Clemson last season.
Jonathan Smith is great with QB’s and designed that offense around the run. Any other approach with him is Down Syndrome.

UW being a 2.5 - 3 point favorite over Michigan is, uh…..interesting.
I know you're down on your team but you guys are a different football team at home. Michigan is very average in a lot of facets and good in a few.

I'm just interested to see how bad Missouri beats A&M at Kyle.

Holy shit Missouri is +2. I'm shocked.

You'll love this one Matrix @Irishsfavoritetrix Fan_of_Fanboys @Fan_of_Fanboys



When the NCAA loses on this, what's to stop former NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. players with remaining eligibility from returning to college and playing for NIL money? Guys who came out early and can't make an NFL roster anymore, were one-and-done NBA busts, etc. We could say customs and tradition would stop it, but we all know that won't stop s*it anymore.

I’m not down on them. They are an average team this year, that’s a fact, which is actually more than I expected after everything was blown apart. Overall, I’m optimistic about the program.

But the reality is we returned a grand total of two starters from last years team, and have a group of guys who are playing together for the first time. The roster was decimated to the point there wasn’t enough offensive lineman to do the full array of spring drills, resulting in a modified, incomplete program. UW has some talent, but everything is patchwork at moment.

This 2024 team isn’t “different at home,” because most of these guys had never even played a game in that stadium until 3 weeks ago. This isn’t a continuation of DeBoer’s squad riding a home win streak, feeding off the momentum of a rising program. This is Keanu Reeves and the replacements. They don’t even really have an identity yet. All that stuff is in the process of sorting itself out.

It’s football, so shit happens, but the fact they’re favored in this game, despite Michigan’s flaws, is fucking wild.

This has never gone wrong for anyone lol
I’m taking a flyer on the possibility Vegas is seeing something I’m not.

I think there’s about a 14% chance UW wins this game. Since I’ve already written the money off as gone, any earnings will be a nice little surprise to be wasted on postgame boozing.
