    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    He does. Until Fleck gets the primary work done, there's nothing for Coyle to do. Just like at IU

    He's been a top guy in athletic admin at IU since 2008 ... but only just thought of asking Cuban in 2024? :rolleyes:

    2026 Big Ten predictions: Game-by-game picks, projecting every team's final win-loss record (MN: Projected record: 5-7, 3-6)

    PJ Fleck special: 7-5 season with a loss that shouldn't have been a loss. We can definitely beat Miss State and at Wisc, and I wouldn't put it past them to beat someone else that's a tossup ... but then like I said, find a way to lose a game that prevents it from being a better season.

    Half game from qualifying in 25, and would've won the first round playoff game at Chicago rather than Green Bay pathetically choking. They are a playoff team in 26, which is what I was talking about, if Murray has even a pulse.

    Then your previous response wasn't even valid. You would've had to have been suggesting that for that response to have been valid.

    STrib: Top recruiters are already circling this 16-year-old volleyball phenom from Eagan

    Tale as old as time: kid wants to get away from home. Granted I feel like this applied slightly less on girls side than boys, but I'm guessing it still largely applies. Some kids simply don't want to go to college in the backyard of where they grew up in. They want to go somewhere else and...

    Pitt - Carnegie is a great college area as well, for sure

    The unfortunate thing is that NHL, NBA, and NFL ... we have good teams, playoff level teams .. but seems like we're still two full tiers below the top title contenders. Are the Wild the best shot? Because I thought the Avs would just waltz to the SC after they dumped us ... but then they got...

    The people who are rich enough to have been such a mega donor for Gopher football right now, either: - did go to school here back in the 60's or before, but they haven't already donated so clearly they don't care and never are going to - or they went to school here more like in the 70's, 80's...

    Not that we actually have any wealthy alumni that care about football. We ... don't. They would've donated by now. They're not out there.

    I give full credit to Dolson for hiring Cignetti. But he didn't do any of the primary work of convincing Cuban to buy off Mendoza. That was Cignetti. I've proven it. Dolson might have come in after that fact with a plan for logistics of how the donation would work ... but that's not at all...

    This could be exactly right. BUT .... What IS it that Coyle actually does around here?? What decisions and/or actions that he has made in the last X years directly resulted in Y,Z gains?? Best I can come up with was his decision to hire various coaches, like Medved in MBB. That was a good...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Ken Paxton apparently blew this whole thing wide open with his threat of legal action. Big 12 filed in federal court, using his threat as part of their justification, and it was that lawsuit which quickly brought TT and Sorsby to heel.

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Sorsby will be allowed to play in the NFL and some team will take him in the Supplemental Draft. For example, the Steelers. The NFL set the precedent by allowing Hunter Dekkers from Iowa State to be eligible in the League. I would absolutely love the Vikings to take him as the practice squad...
