The demise of Juco has really hurt our program as well.

Getting roughshod and run over by Toledo. Lol!!
It would take 2 or 3 million dollars for us to buy a real d-line now. Another million or so to keep the guys we can't afford to lose.
Two infuriating things on that drive:
I can't stand the lack of discipline when players are unable to suspend the instinct to burn clock trying to fight for an extra yard when what they need to do is get the 17 out of bounds.
Apparently there is ONE universe in the multiverse where you don't take the points with one tick remaining from the TWELVE yard line. We're in it. You can't take very very significant risk of going into the half still down four scores. Lebby is now on probation in my mind. Hasn't lost me yet, but we can't have that BS.
Yep. But even that wasn't fatal. We were doing a good job of developing HS talent under Mullen. But the NCAA murdered the ability to be a development program with NIL and the portal. Now you not only have to recruit new kids, you have to re-recruit your existing players who are being tapped up by bigger, richer programs. Then there's the impatient group of kids who leave because they aren't playing enough. And they don't even have to notify the school or staff, they can just go. It's ridiculous. Hope everyone who wanted this is happy with it.
