That'd be pretty fucking rad.

With Bean at QB? Doubtful. OSU game revealed his true colors. Absolutely self-destructed and took the team with him at clutch time. If he doesn't throw that INT in the end zone, it is a completely different game.

Again, Bean had by all metrics, as good a game as Jalon Daniels has EVER had at Kansas sans the Duke game. So keep trying.

If Bean plays like he did vs OSU ( a borderline top 25 team ) against Texas Tech or Cincinnati and our defense plays not shitty, like just below average, we will win both those games.

His numbers were fine, but he folded under pressure. His body language was defeatist and he failed as a leader. Numbers don’t tell the whole story.

We truly are blessed to have Psych here.

I didn't read this before my response.
Great minds.

My guess is Psych reads Jocko Willink or the sort.

My older son played college football at a P5 conference school. Over the course of his career, he had three shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery, all done after seasons were over with. From the time preseason started until well after the season was over, he was hurting - as was every other member of the team. His shoulders would dislocate on a regular basis doing simple things like pushups or pass blocking, and he would have trouble sleeping because of the pain in his knees.

I remember asking him once why he didn't just tell the coaches he was done for the season and have the surgery before things wrapped up for the year, especially considering that he spent his time behind two different guys on the depth chart who are now starting in the NFL.

He didn't even pause when he said "Dad, the school is paying for my education, my room, and my meals. I owe it to them and the rest of the team to be in practice and ready to play if at all possible." He also never missed a single practice or workout session.

Imagine being that loyal without thousands of dollars in NIL money coming in. He finished with a 3.8 GPA and is at the top of his class in grad school now. Good kid.

I'll leave it at that.
