    Big 10 Pay-to-View only?

    I get Peacock with Xfinity internet since it’s the same parent company. I use YouTube TV but subscribe only for football season since I don’t watch other sports much so it’s not worth the cost.

    This is a fireable offense

    Yes, that is true. Question is why hasn’t Fleck really gotten even close to that kind of season again with several more years of his system and his players?

    Post Game Thread: Hawkeyes Humiliate Gophers

    A good QB… Gronowski is 111th in total offense and 109th in passer efficiency rating in FBS. I’d say he is an experienced FCS game manager who does enough with his legs and protects the ball to let the Iowa defense win games.

    This is a fireable offense

    Well yes, players tend to get better with experience wouldn’t have expected any of them to be All Americans as freshmen. Thought we were talking about recruiting.

    This is a fireable offense

    Several NFL draft picks from those Kill/Claeys carryovers and the 2019 season would not have even gotten off the ground without those key contributors.

    The Athletic: College football fans may need to get used to losing more often. Is anyone ready?

    Horse is out of the barn for the Big XII now but it’s too bad they couldn’t have focused on building up their conference and brand rather than letting the top schools break off. It was probably because there are not enough big media markets in those states.

    Whatever. Just beat Iowa.

    1990 was the last time Wisconsin was this bad. So I feel like half of the rivalry series this year is a freebie, Wisconsin will certainly be 2-9 and possibly barely fielding a 2 deep by the season finale. Just have to out score another mediocre Iowa team to sweep those trophies.

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    Although, saying a win at Happy Valley against PSU is not as good a win as the Gophers home W against a “ranked” (heavy finger quotes) Nebraska is shaky.

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    Ohhhh my…who saw the final play before halftime Tenn vs. Ala? A swing between going into halftime 16-14, instead a 100 yard pick six for a 23-7 Bama lead.

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    Kirk was watching too much of NFL kickers this season? What was he thinking? I don’t think they use special kicking balls in NCAA like in NFL do they?

    Cignetti Extended At IU - 8 Yrs, $93M

    Come on now, Indiana (just like Minnesota and plenty of other schools) have had seasons with lighter schedules since the beginning of time and yet 99% of those coaches don’t go 11-1 in their first season and 17-2 so far with the only losses to top 5 teams and 2 top 10 (OK one real top 10) wins...

    Cignetti Extended At IU - 8 Yrs, $93M

    I don’t get it. He hasn’t lit the world on fire in recruiting or results after 2.5 years at Nebraska. Yes Nebby was a dumpster fire for a good 10 years, but should have been a faster rebuild than Indiana (Indiana is a new build and not just a rebuild). It’s true that his rebuild records show...

    Burrito Loco still open?

    Luxury as in, probably way more expensive than the dorms and private rooms. As in, any of us older than Gen Z would have called them luxury in our college days.

    This Gophers team is worse than last year. Next year's team will be better. Agree or disagree?

    No. At least that’s not what sparked the success last season. Cignetti brought a bunch of players and staff from JMU and other places not necessarily with high NIL$. The first season, success was on him. They upped the ante to retain him and boost their recruiting, and Mark Cuban gave a big...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    It’s the sequence of how they lost the Oregon OT game with a bad play call, which would’ve put them in the drivers seat for a great playoff seed, then being absolute trash against a really bad (aside from Iamaleva) lame duck UCLA team. I do think there’s evidence over 10+ years that Franklin...
