I think there's quite a difference between a student transferring & being allowed to participate in club sports or other activities versus direct competition. In terms of their livelihood, they have options in terms of transferring to a lower level & being able to compete. I agree with your...

Just like a regular student, there's no restriction on an athlete that transfers being able to take classes & pursue their degree. Difference of opinion; I just don't understand why someone transferring a 2nd time having to sit out a year before participating in games is that unfair...

Maybe the money/NIL there is no solution. However, I do think that the vast majority of fans have less of a with the money compared to the transfer portal & being immediately eligible. If they can reign that in somewhat, I think it is absolute progress. 1 free transfer with immediate...

Since being two-time champs, figured this was appropriate. Also venue change; moving to ASU. I don't hate baseball stadium concepts for the bowl season, but the playing surface was definitely an issue when there in 2021, so perhaps a good thing......

If I had the answer, I'd give it. Even if there are issues with this, I like that they're trying to figure out a solution. Keep tinkering with it & poke holes and keep building on something..... What I can't stand is the Jay Bilas' & his cronies who instantly say no to everything, but don't...

I can roll both ways on the quality of opponent for the opener. I like having a game to get some things worked out & see where you're at. As weird as this sounds, if we're going to play a heavyweight, I prefer it be that first game as they're in the same boat. If the Gophers are going to beat...

In 2000 within a span of 7 days, I personally witnessed the Gophers defeat Ohio State in Columbus (which who knows if it will ever happen again) and Antwaan Randle-El account for 2,365 yards of total offense, give or take 10, in a single game.....

Whenever I hear the word "misdemeanor," I think back to the 80s cartoon "C.O.P.S." and one of the lead villains, Miss Demeanor, who worked for the Big Boss.....

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a California drivers license that said I was from LaJolla, CA prior to my 21st..... So what should be the proper punishment? Going easy may set a bad example; going hard may not fit the crime. I'll hang up & listen......

Alright, I'll play along. I think it's one thing if a guy like a Chris Weinke comes back after years of playing one professional sport to attempt different one.....but do you really think it wouldn't affect people watching if college sports was suddenly overrun by a bunch of people in their...

C'mon....

Fair point. I think TV viewership #'s will always be there. But I think it's going to affect attendance & fan involvment. My opinion is it has gotten worse the past 5 years for fans. Concession prices are going up, other prices are as well, and it's getting more difficult to justify going to...

Whenever I hear Merlin Olsen or Bob Trumpy, I immediately think late Sunday AFC West battle featuring the Raiders & Seahawks at the L.A. Coliseum with the track around the field on NBC...

100% Call me a sucker, but I LOVE One Shining Moment......
