Yeah, that part just doesn't add up to me. If he was fully cleared by the medical staff I just can't see a position coach using fear of his medical condition as a reason not to let him participate. That is the whole reason they have the medical/training staff, to take those decisions out of...

Why does it matter if they only make the move up in football? If they think they can compete at the level and the conference wants them it shouldn't really matter if the other sports remain in a lower division for the time being.

That 2011 season was a mess with players suspended and Tressell's status up in the air but yeah it is still pretty glaring to see that one bad mark surrounded by tons of seasons with very few losses. For whatever reason guys like Fickell and Frost have found success outside of power 4 football...

Sadly I just don't think there is at this point. If Turner is in fact hurt as was reported in one of the games then you have Turner, Viahola, Willis, Stephens and Omot all out. So you are down to the very back of the rotation guys like Grizzi and Spencer. You could put them out there but they...

Certainly looks that way in the photo.....not sure that is great choice on his part but not surprising either. :)

There was another sack where Mafe initiated the contact but wasn't the guy who ultimately brought him down. Thought maybe he would get a 1/2 sack for that one but in the online box scores he wasn't credited with anything. At least he got the solo tackle so his name shows up in the final stats...

Darnold made a classy move in the trophy presentation to specifically call out the defense. Problem from the MVP standpoint was there was not one player on the D that truly stood out, it was a dominant effort but it was a team effort. Had someone really popped (the way Gonzalez did for NE) I...

Of all the sports, basketball seems like the one most prone to these unpredictable performances but happens across all sports. Take JCJ, drops 22 on Michigan State and looks awesome and is then a non factor against Penn State and Maryland.

Defense was responsible for the Northwestern loss. Giving up 38 and points and 500+ yards to team that routinely struggled to get to 20 points takes the blame from the kicker. Koi was the #1 culprit in the Cal game. He single-handedly put the team in some horrible positions with his special...

Happens all the time in sports.....frustrating as hell but definitely not anything unique to Medved or Minnesota sports.

It will be interesting to see how it works out. Playing one FBS team a season is very different then playing a schedule full of them, even in a secondary conference like the Mountain West.

I could be totally wrong on this but I thought there was a mechanism that allowed guys who had to retire early for medical reasons to retain their scholarship. Maybe that is a Big Ten thing? Edit - just read the story....very strange. Seems odd that the RB coach would make playing/practice...

Matt Spaeth got one with the Steelers in 2009. I got a chance to see it up close, those things are insane.

Yes. Looking online the team gets like 150 rings to distribute as they see fit to players and staff. Typically means anyone on the active roster, IR, practice squad, etc....gets a ring so Kallerup will definitely get one. Mafe didn't get much in the way of stats during the game but he played...

Agree but it also goes both ways. I am sure fans were fans chirping at him all game as well. It gets pretty dumb at times. At the same time I was at the Battle game when he came back and it was a ton of fun booing him all game so what do I know :)
