  1. Career-wise, Izzo is a notch or two below K, Roy Williams, Self, etc...I am by no means belittling his body of work. I do take issue with the whole "Izzo magic" at this point given the recent history. Yeah he can throw together a great team every once in awhile, but outside of those outliers, it seems like he's lost his fastball in terms of getting more out of less. And it's not just Izzo. I thought for years the last 7-8 years of K's career he just managed to pull in top recruiting classes and the talent gap did most of the work where earlier in his career it seemed like the Duke players grew their games under his coaching.
  2. Yes they did, after 4 years of pure mediocrity. Izzo didn't earn his rep being above average once every five years (and we've yet to see how the 1 plays out in the postseason). Maybe that would be fine if he were starting out and building MSU from rock bottom, but they're supposed to be a tier or two below perennial contenders, not one year out of five look like a team that should make it past the round of 32.
  3. 15-13, 23-13, 21-13, 20-15 the previous 4 years till now. He hasn't gone full Mack Brown yet, but all this "you don't want to see a Tom Izzo team in March/Tom Izzo is a magician" narrative is purely coasting on legacy until proven otherwise at this point.
  4. Didn't Keatts have something in his contract where his tourny run last year automatically extended it?
  5. If nothing else, Pittsburgh just made it more expensive for Cincinnati to re-sign Chase.
  6. 4-year/$132 million extension after his current contract that pays him $18 million this year. Fuck ESPN and their misleading headlines.
  7. Nick Wright gonna blame everyone but Mahomes tomorrow, barring another Falcons-like collapse.
  8. Was there a realistic chance for GS to sufficiently re-tool over the next 1.5 seasons before Curry goes into the final year of his contract? Very doubtful. Might as well give this route a shot if ownership is willing to accept the payroll.
  9. No worries, their boosters will write another big check to make sure they can stay.
  10. Yeah, that offer did get reported by a number of respectable sources today. Yesterday however, it seemed like the few places you could find that were your typical pro-Yankee mouthpieces. For a while there, it seemed like Cashman/Steinbrenner were just throwing that out in public so they couldn't be accused of being cheap.
  11. Yankees alleged final offer was $760 million over 16 years.
  12. I'd expect Bama to roll SMU as well, but this is the equivalent of arguing over being the last team out in the March Madness bracket. Don't shit the bed repeatedly and it wouldn't be a discussion.
  13. 25 carries for 192 and 3TDs for Jeanty in Eugene earlier this year. Not saying they wouldn't have a tougher time running against those teams, but declaring they'll get blown out seems entirely premature.
  14. Napier might actually have options in terms of bringing in an OC now that he isn't a dead man walking into next season. He'll still probably fuck everything up by continuing to call plays.
  15. Good South Carolina barely pulls it out over Bad South Carolina.
