Nice to see him smiling. These teams we are beating are not good. But they would have blown us out a few years ago.

Jim Mora threw a tantrum about NIL last year and people here pilloried him for it. But he was right. He had a vision and he has said that talent and hard work trumps coaching. Kudos to him. But we have a bunch of games left.

Agree with a lot of what you're saying, except for the "the teams we are beating are not good". Buffalo is probably not top 60, but they were good enough to beat a ranked NIU. Vegas, who is rarely wrong, only had us giving 5.

We won by 44. That tells me a lot about where we are at currently, and how much hard work the players and coaches are putting into this...

We had the second easiest SOS. This is not a good hill to die on.

I don't need to die on it. I can evaluate it at the end of the year. Right now, the hill is looking really good...

interesting how Herman’s comments seemed to get the team cranky. Mora did say the comments were complimentary, but the team didn’t like being portrayed as all about the money.

Mora has really built the right culture and while NIL has been an enabler, it isn’t the main reason they have gotten significantly better this year.

He sounds a little like Hurley. Can’t hurt.

Yup and there is very real chance that we only have one team on our schedule that will get bowl eligible. Kind of amazing.

Mora spoke the truth last year as nobody else was standing up and saying it. There were many of us on the-boneyard that supported and agreed with what Mora said.
