3 grandkids to end up as D1 athletes is rather remarkable. Thanks for posting, even though it was in the article.

I doubt it, that would be a ton of work to do for each team, and almost impossible since you'd have to have like our knowledge level of the Gophers, but for all the B1G teams.

Any other name on the back of that jersey and we'd be talking about an upgrade at safety. "Addition by subtraction", "can't get any worse", etc.

Thanks for adding this.

Tony Rice. Oh, wait...wrong team.

That's not what he was referring to. He was referring to consistently holding their players to a standard. The post @mngg11 was referring to even had "consensual activities" in it. Do you always try and misinterpret posts so you can bitch and complain? Cuz you're very good at it.

How about waiting until they know the truth or not before punishing him?

Yeah, I was more getting at that he might not start. Lots of players don't live up to the preseason hype, but at least they're on the field.

It'd be hilarious if incoming freshman talent beat him out and he didn't even start. Doubt that's ever happened to an all-american before.

Especially with the bolded, I would HATE to see Michigan and tOSU in "the game" knowing that they'll be playing next week as well and that's the one that matters more.

Good point that I didn't consider. However, if the games would be broadcast on different networks, I'd think each network would want exclusivity. If it was something like one game is on espn and the other is on abc, I'm not sure they would pay all that money to compete with themselves.

Exactly. Come January and I'm back at work, I'm interested in the Gophers offseason and how they might do in the portal. I have zero interest in seeing how other teams finish out a season that I've already considered over with.

Yeah, and were people "excited" about Tulane? If that happens year in and year out, will people look forward to watching? That is a true statement. We can also try to mitigate how often we see them though; once every 20 or so years is tolerable.

I think the idea is that when you see Ohio State putting up 28 against Purdue in the first quarter, there are other games you can switch to. When it's the playoff and Ohio State is up 28-0 in the first quarter, it's the only college football game available. I agree with this.

Like @swede2 said, you're moving the goal posts. Just because we finished with > .500 record and won a bowl game doesn't necessarily mean it was because of how we recruited the QB position out of high school. Besides Drake, we've had one good season from a QB we got out of high school (2019)...
