you're just mad because we're using the portal better than anyone in the miaa. barry alvarez had decades to build something, we're trying to win now. the game has changed, and sitting around crying about "the good old days" is how you get left behind. we have an identity, it's called winning football games with the best players we can find, period. coach schurig and our staff are out there finding guys who want to be ichabods and who can help us imemdiately. you think building through high school only works when you're at a power 5 school with all the resources. we have to be smarter and more aggressive. those "mercenaries" you're whining about are kids looking for a better opportunity, and we're giving it to them. our locker room is tighter than ever because these transfers are hungry to prove themselves. maybe your program is scared of competition, but we welcome it. that's how you build a championship culture in the modern era. we know exactly who we are.
