what is this?
 
26 paragraphs is too long.....point taken...

6 rebounds is walk-on level productivity.....Point given.

Are there other more realistic complaints?? Sure, I have 500 other paragraphs to comb through on this board and elsewhere....

What's more ironic is that I have a HC for 3 straight years, rewarding bad play down the stretch (Mulcahy), bad behavior & moping/quitting/sulking (Mag) and now a very nice, NJ native and HS classmate of Mulcahy, being placed in a position to torpedo a 3rd season in a row.

We have coaches in both sports who are very lax, who have contract extensions and ZERO sense of urgency.

I watched a substantial amount of snaps rewarded to Chris Long on offense, where he drops passes on a regular basis.....

I watch a HC seemingly look the other way, with a linebacker who does not read plays or the field well, continuing to be put on the field (Moses Walker) and blow assignment after assignment, which winds up giving huge chunks of yards.

I watch another safety in Igbinosun, continue to miss assignments on plays, allowing wide open WRs or lose containment at least 15 to 20 times in the 1st 8 games....

Meanwhile, anyone with a pulse could clearly see that the 2 best and productive WRs, were Ian Strong and KJ Duff......why waste so many snaps and blow games vs Nebraska, because you cannot convert in the redzone??

I have a HC, who seemingly cannot read weather forecasts or gauge wind or cold weather, calling mindless timeouts.....and I could agree with calling a timeout IF, it's 65 degrees and cloudy or even a slight rain.

RU football with "below average", roster management and common sense and sense of urgency, is a 9-3 football season and playing on New Years Day. We have a 1st team all caliber Running Back, 2 NFL caliber WRs and a left tackle, who just because he isn't a 4* recruit, is headed to the NFL after almost 50 straight starts on the OL (Hollin Pierce).

Pike is still actually better at coaching than Schiano, but playing Martini is dropping him BELOW Schiano status, which is below average for a Power 4/5 program.

Two different sports, same awful patterns.....same horrible results.....two 2024 sports seasons WAY below realistic expectations.

If Pike has any respect for his roster and results, these lineup changes are not atomic bombs, they're just normal coaching moves.....
It’s funny how you lump GS into this conversation yet adjustments were made. Just because they weren’t to you’re liking timing wise doesn’t mean he got it wrong.
Do you think maybe that freshman WR had to learn the playbook and get acclimated to B1G play? Do you think maybe, just maybe the DC needed a bye week to break everything down and insert more game ready players?
You also love to conveniently leave out the injuries that we experienced.
The two NFL caliber WR’s were freshmen and sophomore. We lost our best defensive player and captain on the o line. We lost three tight ends and our number two RB. Not to mention the whole secondary and d line were banged up every game. There were times where we had 3 freshman dbs and two former walks on at d line and walk on lb in the game. You seriously are so dishonest with this stuff. To even lump GS in the category of Pike’s mismanagement is so wild. You always do this.
Moses Walker saw a ton of time early because Powell was dealing with an injury and we had no depth there with Toure out. Long’s snap count significantly dropped later in the year once Duff was game ready. Same thing with Des, who was also replaced by a FRESHMAN who was game ready later in the year. You try to make it seem like our roster is loaded with talent. We had 1 player who was first team all B1G this year and two who were third team all B1G. Meanwhile Pike has two NBA lottery picks and we’re awful. How can you even possibly think Pike is better at coaching than GS.
