  1. Franklin also has three 6 loss years, a 5 loss year, and a 4 loss year at Penn State.
  2. No talk of Luke Fickell at Wisconsin? 15-15 overall, just lost to Maryland, and the schedule is BRUTAL. They could go 3-9.
  3. Arkansas tried that same route before with Chad Morris and it was disastrous. Not saying Traylor is Morris, but the similarities probably have them go a different direction.
  4. A Scottie, Xander, BDC, Cantlay, Cam, JT, Morikawa core is still relatively young and, if in decent form, going to be competitive in this event for the foreseeable future. Xander had a significant injury (and then just had a kid) which turned this year into a lost one, JT hasn’t been right in two years but showed flashes in the spring, and Morikawa is wildly talented but went off the damn rails for whatever reason this season. That’s half the team, so I don’t think it’s dire. But I agree the secondary guys are a big question mark right now. Spaun seems like he can hang and then contribute for another cycle. But those last four spots are totally up for grabs in ‘27.
  5. And yes. Keegan should be skewered on the shit he can actually control. He ultimately had 23 decisions (6 picks, 16 pairings, 1 singles order) and has fucked up at least half of them
  6. Oh I totally agree with you that everyone should be playing under one roof. Rahm cashing checks then showing up four times a year to play decent golf and spinning a Ryder Cup domination creates one confusing legacy for a guy who could be an all timer
  7. Maybe to water down the Euro team? Other than Bryson and Koepka (who both have overall team fit issues) who from the US side on LIV are you itching to bring over.
  8. No disputing that. He was an asshole on the way out.
  9. Probably not but Reed hasn’t done shit really on either tour in two years. You can’t out him on the team. The LIV thing is interesting. US has seemed to totally shun it (BDC was AQ) while Rahm is a clear Euro leader and is paired up with Hatton and dominating. I do think Phil would be a great captain. Because that guy would go in the lab for a year trying to maximize a W. But he’s basically been exiled after being the heir apparent because of LIV.
  10. I’m in no way a Bryson fan, especially after he defected to LIV. But he’s an asset in this event and I can root for him for three days. Figure out the best way to deploy him because his talent is undeniable. Felt similarly to Pat Reed back in the day who is a dick of the highest order. He killed this event and made a great pairing with Spieth until Spieth (probably) bitched out on him which says a lot about the American mentality. Coddling over killing. Please note I am in no way advocating that Pat Reed should have anything to do with current affairs.
  11. Burns may lose to Bobby Mac 6 and 5.
  12. Oh agree. Keegan’s been terrible. But I was talking about the player leadership aspect. Everyone calls JT the “heart and soul of the team” but he needed a pity invite to make Rome and couldn’t AQ this time around and played like shit the back half of the year. Meanwhile Rory is a clear top 3 guy who just secured a point while getting ruthlessly heckled for four hours…against JT.
  13. Scheffler hasn’t been great, but this is team golf. IMO Scheffler’s hit his own ball good enough to not be 0-4.
  14. Bryson can fucking play. JT (terrible pairing for him btw) was awful yesterday morning, then Bryson dragged Griffin around and almost pulled a half point by himself against the Rose/Fleetwood juggernaut yesterday afternoon. Then when they paired him up with good partners he dominated this morning with Cam and stayed in a match with Scheffler that any other pairing would’ve been closed out by hole 12 with the way Rose played. Saying you don’t want him on the team moving forward is quite a take. He’s a weird guy but guess what, he AQ’d anyway so put him with a mellow guy that can stripe his irons (Cam, Scheffler, JJ) and let him cook. Pretty clear Scheffler isn’t an alpha team leader type of guy. That’s fine. But the problem is there’s a leadership vacuum that needs to be filled, and unless JT can get back to being a top 5 player, I’m not sure who’s filling those shoes.
  15. No clue how the US can put together something competitive for 2027. Who’s coming up to provide some talent infusion?
  16. US also needs to rethink how they set this shit up. Dartboard with easy pins isn’t an advantage when you’re at a talent deficit
  17. I mean I think the issue is that after Scheffler, you’re taking about six of the Euros guys and Bryson before you pick the third American
  18. Running out Morikawa and English again is some Zach Johnson level captaining. I don’t mind trying Henley and Scheffler again. Neither one played goo yesterday, but I’d expect them to make a run here in their match. That Rahm pitch was silly good. Need to find a half in that match.
  19. lol Scottie cans one and they don’t have it live. God this coverage sucks.
  20. Rahm’s been unbelievable today. World class shit from him.
  21. MVST getting those EOSE vibes.
  22. ONDS 52 week high as it surged past $7.00.
  23. Pirates is a L, Phillies is a L. Cleveland is a W, KC about to clinch a W. The Rockies fucking suck and are an embarrassment to my fine city.
  24. Cignetti is fucking cutthroat. This era’s version of Spurrier.
