If they lose BC, then should be only Iowa and Missouri for P5s. Temple and UConn other OOC then 8 MAC games

Very happy that this was carried on ESPN+, YouTube TV streaming users do not get NESN! Eveyone that wants access to ESPN+ can have it.

Enjoyed the press conference and look forward in the next week as they share some of the 5 year plan.

Not asking for any specific reason outside of curiosity. Why do you feel that way?

Guaranteed (virtually guaranteed) losses?
Getting physically beaten up?
Bad look on program?

Other?

I think the consensus is that the BC game is going to get moved, with the possibility of Missouri moving as well. Next year should be UConn, Temple, Iowa, Missouri or G5/FCS replacement, 8 MAC games.



And God willing, the MAC Championship game

And only 4 signees today. BC had 27 for comparison

BC also didn't just fire their coach.
Uconn only has 11.
UNC Charlotte, who also just fired their coach, also has 4 so far.

I am sure that with conversations with Coach H going back a while - from the offer to acceptance - that he had a hand in the signees. Very certain that they withdrew their offers from many that they no longer wanted to sign. Some people on the board are excited about the play if the QBs x2; but one (1) of the recruits they took is a QB. Perhaps a position change is in order for one (1) / both of the H QBs

Good context, thanks.
Hoping we can get some players in now with the transfer portal opening. This is also the early signing period so maybe when the regular signing period opens up in February get some guys in then.

I would have preferred it be shown on one of the many other social media platforms that the athletic department has at its disposal (which Is what has been done for every other recent coaching hire, plus the MAC press conference).

That's fair enough.

From your keyboard to God's ears!!!! I have for some reason great hope now. What absolutely killed me about Don Brown's tenure was the fact we lost on the last play of the game several times. Good teams find a way to close it out. Bad teams just fold and let those losses happen. Some other poster on here mentioned that the mere fact Lurie was even on the team after he missed several FGs earlier in the season was proof positive that the coaching staff sucked. Don Brown was a great guy and I'm sure wanted to win in the worst way. What ever happened to "Dr. Blitz" and the "Mat Room"???
