    Jerry Kill gets job at Vanderbilt.

    The current coach is 2-10, 5-7, and 2-10 in his 3 seasons. This will be unacceptable even at Vandy. I don't think Jerry is stepping in thinking he can do part time work for the next 4 years here - especially after coming off what most thought was a miracle job at NMSU. This is his way to get...

    Jerry Kill gets job at Vanderbilt.

    I would be looking over my shoulder if I was the current coach. I think it is pretty obvious that Jerry will take this assignment with the expectation that the current staff gets canned and they will put him in as head coach to keep stability in the program.

    The Final Straw

    "the 12-team playoff is the worst of all" The 12-team playoff essentially cheapens the regular season by giving a do-over for the helmet schools that lose early - basically making college football no different than NCAA Basketball tournament. I realize some people like this - I prefer a case...

    The Final Straw

    Yes, it was a better system. As it is, there are precisely 3 games that mattered this year (the 2 today and the championship game). Bowl season used to be interesting as it was a conversational event for people to speak about relative strengths of the conferences. Now, with opt outs and the...

    B1G vs SEC bowl games 2023/24

    That is due to Penix injury history. Based on skill out of the gate, he is probably on par with Williams. I think the team that gets Penix will be getting a star (assuming he does not have another knee injury). He gets it down through great decision making and accuracy vs. pure athletic...

    The Final Straw

    I know people think this 12-team playoff will 'fix' college football...but what happens when: 1.) OSU plays MI in the final game of the season (both teams enter undefeated) 2.) OSU rematches MI in the B1G championship game THE NEXT GAME 3.) OSU and MI both meet for a 3rd time in the playoffs...

    2023-24 Other Bowl Games Thread

    At some point - will the TV deals threaten to withhold money if stars sit out the bowl games? The tOSU game is painful to watch. NIL has done a lot to destroy college football balance of power - but, now it is making the product on the field unwatchable.

    After 7 years - teams PJ has/hasnt beaten

    USC is my 'other team' - they absolutely disappointed this year and gave up half way through the season. A lot of this was on Williams as he had literally nothing to prove and is already a millionaire and celebrity while still playing in college. The big issue they had were on defense and...

    Can the Gophers find success in the new Big Ten?

    The Gophers will have success - it just won't be on the football team. The increased revenue from TV contracts, etc will be pumped in to support non-revenue and women's (yes, a huge overlap there) sports. So, we will have elite women's hockey and rowing but likely a football programs that...

    College Football is Dead

    I have to ask, what do you think the purpose of the college football playoffs are: A.) To find the best team at the end of the season (regular season is no longer meaningful, it is just how good you are at the end of the season)? B.) To find the best team over the course of the season (limited...

    College Football is Dead

    I have a solution to the NIL, transfer portal, etc to save college football: Get rid of the 5 years of playing eligibility limitation. The only requirement should be 'full time enrollment as a student' and maybe restrict scholarships to 5 years - they are less meaningful in the world of NIL...

    Question for the "Anti-Flecksters"

    This is a football team - you are focusing on the goals. Our team needs to be about high GPA and graduation rates, not spirituality. Some on here foolishly think the goal is to win - the clearly don't understand football.

    Question for the "Anti-Flecksters"

    Fleck is not getting fired. By the time he walks away from the program years from now, of his own volition, he will be making $10M per year and have convinced the U to buy at least 2 monorails. He could win 3 games next year and half of this board would still fight to the death for him. I...

    RandBall: The 5-7 Gophers are going to a bowl game. What should we call it?

    The players better call it the 'must win' Bowl. If we finish 5-8, it is worse than not going at all. If they go and get blown out, make that doubly bad.

    NIL and RS Strategy

    tOSU blows out a vast majority of its opponents - so, getting real in-game playing time does not come from replacing CJ Shroud for the meaningful minutes. What it does do is give your backup actual experience so in the event that your starter goes down, you don't have a bunch of guys that have...
