Banks doesn't stop. Good teams

Banks doesn't stop. Good teams

He’s done a pretty good job of doing more with less. People refuse to acknowledge he’s working with less.

Why are we acting like Banks was the problem this year?

Pili doesn’t go down and Georgia may have been a different story.

i completely disregard the Ohio State game. They are the best team in the country by a good margin.

I’ll give you the Georgia offense, but nobody is stopping Ohio state. Not sure what else you could be mad about with our best defense in a long ass time

We scored

14 at Arkansas
17 at Georgia
17 at Ohio State

Tim Banks!

lol if we had gotten PSU’s path we’d have had an even matchup with ND for the championship game

I don't really think that's saying much tho.

It's like when arguing to keep a HC around..... is Franklin's run worth it if they wanted to fire him? Not really.

Texas didn't do too bad.

It’s directly contradictory to your “first round blowout” sentiment. So yes, it matters. Keep doing you tho.

Jarrett Seidler from BP has been answering lots of questions about the list on Twitter today. The Braves-related takeaways are that Ritchie and Murphy were both on the cusp of the Top 100 (apparently Murphy was on track to make the top 50 before injury).

And he confirmed that if Schwellenbach were still prospect-eligible he’d be a top 5 prospect arm in the sport. A good reminder that some great young players never get ‘good prospect’ status.

Baseball Prospectus has Baldwin at #37 on their top prospect list.

Too much much soft ass zone.

Other than Ohio State, our defense gave us more than a chance to win every game. It was our passing game that was the problem

Nah. The assumption is at 10-2. We'd go on the road and get beat down again.

How they managed Will Brooks this year was a work of art.

 

[Wickman]

Ladd McHonky man was I wrong about that dude outta high school

This alone should give him an extension

Depends on who the losses are to and who you beat. 10-2 can get you a home playoff game.

With our schedule next year? Probably not.

It should have got us one this year

Like I said, it depends. Before the season started, who would have thought Indiana would have been a quality win or loss for anyone this year?

With the Portal there's even more program volatility year to year I think. We were a hair away from getting a home playoff game this year, even with a loss to Arkansas and our best win being against a 3-loss Alabama team.

I disagree. I don't think you're going from 6-6 to a playoff contender overnight.
