@BrewersSwallows Wow, a guy that strikes out 30% of the time with unspectacular minor league stats may not be a sure-fire major leaguer?

@VinceBiegel NET seeding teams is a better system at putting the right teams in the right seeds, on top of the obvious NIL/portal stuff

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@barryisthedon NET is a predictive metric, not a summary of achievement.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@PeteFiutak NET is a predictive metric and doesn’t really judge W/L. It’s supposed to be used as a tool to create/compare a resume of NET on a team’s schedule

@bawfuls @gtyman17 @SteelCityBucs30 They pushed the chips in for Sabathia and Greinke and did not win it in either of those runs. None of the guys they traded away put their new team over the top. If they signed all of the guys they traded away, they’d be staring down a 5 year $200+ million dumpster fire. So…?

@Peter_Bukowski @Brandon_Sneide @smuffyburner @WiscoGrant @BartWinklerShow Why doesn’t Wisconsin also outspend California to bring in all of the top companies in the world? It’s a very smart and realistic idea, Mr Bukkake. I’m going to also keep asking for this to happen.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@Peter_Bukowski @Chouriochurro Have you seen the highway robbery they’ve conducted on basically every trade like this, Mr. Bukkake?

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@tarksmarks44 @SternHolic @ChiBadgPartDeux Im just going to suggest here that [hopefully] a healthy QB + more talent + a much easier schedule would mean more success next year, no? Is that not considered logic?

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@tarksmarks44 @SternHolic @ChiBadgPartDeux We had shitty backup QBs all season and didn’t spend big and played the #1 schedule in the country last year and close to it the year before.

No coach is beating Ohio state and Alabama with a cheap backup QB. Let’s hope for some luck this year to follow the $.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@tarksmarks44 @SternHolic @ChiBadgPartDeux Well, we’re haven’t been high up in the spending department and we’ve happened to draw a lot of teams that are on our schedule the past few years so 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@tarksmarks44 @SternHolic @ChiBadgPartDeux Counterpoint: we’ve basically never seen “the qb we wanted” play an important game with Fickell. Mordecai was pretty solid in the few games we did.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@sebastianL20 @MattBrownEP I was wrong!

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@Badgers_44 Let’s make sure that Joesph has his ACLs still properly functioning by conference play next season before saying this.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@CoachBradMurphy @ChiBadgPartDeux Any reasonable portal QB that stays healthy will be a *massive* upgrade over what we’ve seen since Mordecai broke his finger. That’s all that matters.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@stauner42 @shedeurrrrrr @badgerbarstool It was an approximation. Whatever they make, they lit the majority of their budget on fire every year.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@WiscoGrant @badgerbarstool “Categorically disproved this” = asking a guy who has no reason to tell the truth…come on.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@WiscoGrant @NickBode41 I would not blame a guy at all for cashing in for an extra million bucks as his last chance to do so and I also would not expect him to be truthful about it. It’s ok.

[Gard Appreciator/Fickell Believer @TheRealEBohl]

@MadisonMessiah @ZachHeilprin Billy Edwards got 2 guys drafted after his 2024 Maryland season.

It’s very possible if we could keep a starting QB on the field.
