So sick of games that we lose in the first quarter.
Bench everyone, let’s see what else we’ve got at this point. Hey, I know it’s a lot on the coaches but we don’t have a second string of coaches to sub in.
So sick of several commercial breaks before we see anything positive for the Cats. Hell, before we even see anything not absurdly negative.

That sack wasn’t skoronski’s fault. His man was behind the quarterback and got tackled by a hand.

if QB steps up into the pocket that doesn’t happen.

Hey, another easy pass and catch to the safety valve in the right flat on 3rd and long.

JON’s really patched up the defense. Ugh.

It’s not the losing, though that sucks. It’s that we look like a high school team going against the BIG10.
It’s not Fitz’s fault. Inflation is so high that a $5M+ salary and a $300M practice facility doesn’t go as far as it used to.

Two maddening 3rd down conversions by the Gophers. On the first, two NU defenders ran into each other. On the second, they checked down to the RB with zero NU players near him. Unbelievable.

This is the worst NU team I've seen in the Fitz era. The games aren't even competitive.

This just can’t happen in this stage of Fitz’s tenure. It all falls on him. He’s hired these guys and recruited these players. The coaches are paid an outrageous amount of money and we’re one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen. We have unbelievable facilities and a top notch education. Fitz needs to finally make some good choices or else he’s going to lose us all. As you can see by the stands today he’s lost a ton of us.
The guy wanted to stick with a ball control offense, which requires a big offensive line loaded with multiple 4 star recruits, and he couldn't recruit them. Instead he got a bunch of undersized 3 star o linemen. With subpar coordinators, voila you get what you see today. Terrible, just terrible!!! All the strides the program has made for 25 years, all down the drain.

Can somebody remind Genyk that we’re allowed to return kickoffs?
Fitz does NOT trust his players. Even though we dont have explosive players recruited, laying down and putting up white flags on returns doesnt help our awful defense or fitz controlled offense.

Another game where we lose in the first quarter.

That throw to Hooper Price was very late. Incompletion is on Hilinski. Time to make a change.

We would be a mid level MAC team if we were in the MAC. My alma mater would give the Cats problems and might even pull off a W.
