Pat started covering the Gophers for KSTP in 1980. Our Big 10 record in 80s was 28-55-2 (.337) and we played multiple FCS programs (Wichita State, Montana, losing to Pacific (they may have been FBS), Northern Iowa and Indiana State). When were these good ole days? When he was a chubby little...

It's not a narrative. The East, besides Ohio State, had a losing record against the West. It's not a narrative it's the actual results on the field. Right now, you're using the results against Ohio State (who everyone struggled against), to prop up the record of the East vs. West. Remove Ohio...

Outside of Ohio State, the teams in the East lost more games against the West than they won.

This is 100% true. There was complete parity between the East and West. The only outlier was Ohio State. The rest of the East was a combined 80-84 against the Big 10 West during that time (that's counting MSU's vacated wins as wins). There was not a disparity between East and West, the...

Why? I wouldn't want my compensation published.

Baylor has a player on their basketball team this year who was drafted in the 2023 NBA draft (James Nnaji and there are a number of college teams pursuing Trentyn Flowers who has played in 8 NBA games (currently in the G League). It's coming and I agree with you about a CBA.

They've already been told they will lose and get an injunction that would stop them from implementing the rule. It would take an act of Congress to slow this down.

I think the single season numbers are real but when the players get multi-year deals, those numbers are about as real as the NFL's. As far as not believing the numbers generally, I don't know why someone wouldn't. College football is clearly big business, why wouldn't programs invest in the...

Flores will be a tough sell for a lot of owners as HC. He is seen as both a liability in being too tough on support staff but also suing a former employer. It's really hard to hire someone you know might sure you if you ever fire them. I'm with you Ogie, I think he got some awful short-sighted...

He was banned. He was Rockraven and he is also another poster on here who posts more on the basketball board. It's a dead give away. He is really dumb. He does internet tough guy stuff. He talks about blowing dudes a lot (seriously). He is willing to take this bet because he will just to...

Yep, we've already seen it in basketball. It's still a no-brainer for the top 10 pick type of players, but a lot of players can make more money returning to school to develop. It's better for the pro leagues as well.

I think Michigan fans pretend to hate Meyer because they want to say his success at tOSU is tainted but they would also take him in a heartbeat. If they had any shot at Kiffin, they'd have taken him.

Yeah, you know you're in a bad spot when you're longing for the days of Ed Ingram and Bradbury.

The best players are worth these giant contracts, the key is not to miss.

I can just see the president of the university reading the 70th story about abortions and OnlyFans models and finally snap and say "Go hire a G D Mormon".
