It would also be nice if Luke Ford's deleted tweet meant nothing. - uofi1998 January 10, 2022, 15:40:59 I was unaware college rules permitted use of the middle of the field on offense.* - voiceofreason January 10, 2022, 15:48:29 What about Luke Ford?* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes January 10, 2022, 15:47:23 from a few days ago, quickly deleted... - uofi1998 January 10, 2022, 15:49:19 I wonder if he was cleaning up his draft box and accidently posted it instead of deleting. - ATL January 10, 2022, 15:43:20 Do people really have a draft box for twitter?* - Cunativeson January 10, 2022, 16:02:50 Twitter certainly saves old drafts. He may have drafted it up, thought the better of it - ATL January 10, 2022, 16:26:06 I had no idea Twitter had a draft function. TIL. I do agree with you that it doesn't make sense - Cunativeson January 10, 2022, 16:28:57 And, a Khalan Tolson return* - UofIL6 January 10, 2022, 15:41:49 Is that a thing? - uofi1998 January 10, 2022, 15:45:14 No idea...just know the Kerby Joseph ship sailed (he's getting picked), so was greedy* - UofIL6 January 10, 2022, 15:46:57 As he should.

I have no idea how you judge an OC - voiceofreason January 8, 2022, 18:36:38 I hated a lot of the playcalling, but I kind of felt like... - uofi1998 January 10, 2022, 16:27:28 Easy: when the QB is that bad, you judge the OC * - meanjeans January 8, 2022, 20:13:45 Also said he was the only assistant he was hearing negative comments about... - SurfTheBoneyard January 8, 2022, 18:11:37 He's the only one I heard anything negative about - ijustkrushalot January 8, 2022, 18:51:20 I think Lunney being available probably made it easier to replace - CanHartlebHireSnider January 8, 2022, 18:15:48 can you explain what you mean about walters setting target goals?* - biclops January 8, 2022, 18:20:28 As ATL mentions according to Werner Bielema told the set goals for targets to certain players - CanHartlebHireSnider January 8, 2022, 18:47:34 Is he a defensive coach? I thought he was an offensive guy* - Taz January 10, 2022, 12:47:51 Bielema played D-line in college.
