Well hey, post a link. I'm not opposed to learning new things. I only remember media folks bringing him up at the start of the year and my google searches aren't turning up anything else either.

So he wasn't a Texas player? Well excuse me, a link I read earlier said he was.

I thought you were talking about the coaching offers.

He played at northwestern and the only job he'd consider leaving for, according to the radio last week, is the Chicago Bears.

Ok, so where has he had these other offers and turned them down?

I never said that. The only thing I heard was that when teams reached out to him for him to interview he just didn't. I don't have anything to back that up, so it may not be true

Pat Fitzgerald has no need to look elsewhere from Northwestern Wildcats

Tennessee and Michigan reached out

This is factually incorrect and it makes me wonder if I should take any of your posts serious or if you typically just make things up because they help your argument.

It's the latter. For sure

Well that's not surprising considering their situations and who they ended up with.

Still waiting for Texas and USC though.

This is correct and the reason he won't and didnt?? That leads to where 4D once again proves he knows 0 about CFB outside of the SEC

Correct, nobody gives a fuck about Northwestern in general. They aren't relevant to shit.

You got me.

I also give no fucks about Iowa. Got me again. Also not relevant to shit.

Funny that this is coming from the guy who claims to know how much better Middle Tennessee state is than Minnesota.

Probably shouldn't be participating on a CFB message board or submitting a poll then if you admit to that extreme of a bias. Bama and the SEC have their own boards if you only care to be factually accurate about those topics

You mean a guy who admits he doesn't watch every single college game thus uses advanced stats programs as a tool to make up that difference?

Are you claiming you watch them all?

I care about relevant teams outside the SEC.

Iowa is not among them. Watching an Iowa game is on the same level as a mid-major game.

So you use a projection model to rank teams but by your own admission know absolutely nothing about 90 percent of the games you're projecting?? Lol. Nice.

I'm willing to bet I watched more games than you over the past week and the season itself than you have. I work from home and pretty much keep games on TV during the week.

I watch relevant games and relevant teams.

Nope. I'm not.

Lol. Ok man. You're talking out both sides of your mouth. You only watch "relevant" teams which means you don't watch but 7 or 8 teams you deem relevant. Then you claim to use advanced stats to make up the rest yet advanced stats would tell you Iowa is likely to be 11-1 or 12-0 at years end. If a team that, using your own methodology, is likely to be a 1 or 0 loss team at seasons end isn't relevant then I struggle to see what teams would be

 

[4down20]

Nope. I'm not.

Well the entire reason I did computer rankings in the past was because I can't watch every game, but I can create a philosophy on properly ranking teams and then apply it across every team and every game equally and without bias.

Translation, he got caught being incorrect, and is backpedaling.
So now, to cover his ass, he now says that the team isn't "relevant."
Welcome to the wonderful world of my friend 4down. He's been pulling this shit on me for years.
But of course, he yells loud and long if he thinks he's right and his sparring partner is wrong. You will notice that he posts more than almost anyone, which of course makes it even more certain that he'll be wrong as often as he's right (and yes, he is right, occasionally, gotta give credit where it's due)

Bottom line, this is a sports blog in which being convincing, but incorrect is actually an advantage. 4down is the giant among the midgets that post here.
