    OK folks.  It was leaked.  It was confirmed. Change is coming, but not until after the season. Oh, and you can go ahead and plan on hearing this sort

    I’ll not criticize the timing of the announcement until I have some history on it. Maybe it was the thing to do or maybe not. I think we all knew Gott would not be back for the next season. I’m willing to let this play out. Let the talking heads explode with rancor.

    I think we beat ND today because that’s just what we do. I hope no boo birds are there for Gott. It’s a done deal and we are going to move on. Show him respect for what he has done and give him a hand. I’m glad he’s not moving forward with us but I am appreciative of his efforts.

    This pretty well sums up where we are headed. I feel much better (and that took a lot) after reading this.

    Debbie Yow will not let us down. We tend to forget all the GW noise during our last search and the fact that Shaka’s wife was the wildcard and killed the deal. BTW, he is now 9 (out of 10 in the Big12) this year….and was supposed to be Number 2, according to ONE pre-season press poll….only behind Kansas. SO, all in all, I think we were, for the first 4 years, better off with Gottfried.

    Here is an interview that really defines the lady and her approach.

    https://ncstate.rivals.com/news/q-a-debbie-yow-exclusively-breaks-down-coaching-search

    In some cases, she is a “Trump” personality with more polish and savvy….

    If we keep it closer than 10 points today, that will be a real victory for the team….and also maybe to Gottfried. Just a whole lot TOO LATE…

    If we win 2 of the last 5, it will really surprise me….but if he pulls a Jimmy V and motivates them and they do well….wonder if we could salvage an NIT and WOULD WE TAKE IT?

    Chew on that one for a while…Let the ND game begin. Mike Brey is a K underling….so maybe we can use the magic that we used on Capel to frustrate and befuddle them….they escaped recently and will probably come out like the GS Warriors and set NEW records for the PNC…lets HOPE NOT…

    Anybody that bets on this game probably would bet on an instant replay….

    The only way, I think, we’ll hear the boo-birds today is if the kids play selfish and lackadaisical …

    Regardless of all our faults, real and imagined, that’s just NOT who State Fans are.

    Now, Coach has borne the brunt of this season’s sh#tstorm…
    BUT these kids still GOTT something to prove to themselves…

    SO maybe, just maybe….

    GO PACK!!!

    Brey’s son is the new football coach at AK high school which was a ghost town yesterday when graffiti listed a school shooting for 2/17. We live in a strange world. Gott playing the role of honorable John Fox and I appreciate it. Wish the Pack had indoor hurricane winds for this one. Another football time slot.

    ESPN showed MG’s pre-game talk. It was very, very weird.

    We look exactly the same as we have been.

    No energy.
    Not surprising.

    I hope DSJ leaves – I’m not in the habit of calling out players but he needs to go.

    OK, I was really hoping that Gott firing (and the weirdness of it in general) wouldn’t be the storyline today.
    Should have known better.

    DSJ isn’t the problem. DSJ having no rules applied to him is probably about 40-50% of the problem, or at least the most obvious manifestation of the problem.

    DSJ needs to go for both him and for the team.

    Doris Burke rightly points out Irish look tired/off to excuse their only being up 6.

    Set for life with guaranteed money if indeed drafted high in 1st round.

    Today’s storyline, per the ESPN Fraternity (even the female’s) is POOR OLE GOTT….he was DONE WRONG….

    Notice that Gottfried is wearing his light blue shirt. Half or more of the “suits” on our bench have light blue shirts.

    No offense to my old “index”, it is telling that none of our coaches really “got it”. Lutz was the only one…and where is he now?
