I hope the weather is brutal. I don't normally wish for bad weather. But for this one I am. Sometimes opponents wilting to bad/cold weather at the bank can be unexpected (Iowa in 2010, Purdue in 2018) but in this case it would totally be predictable if we get a cold snap or snow game.

I am gopherhole’s biggest SEC hater and this never ending whack-a-mole exercise of countering the SEC’s latest hypothetical set of superiority “facts” has nearly beaten me. But not quite. I am up for the challenge.

Tell me you haven’t been to a white out without telling me you haven’t been to a whiteout. I’ve attended one and it was most definitely not overrated. My kid went to law school there and had student season tickets for two of his three years (non ticket season was the covid season). He was...

It seems like Wisconsin has finally become consistently bad enough to actually rank below Minnesota in an off season power ranking. But, the same cannot be said of Nebraska - where 6 wins in a row over them still is not enough for them to be knocked from their well established lofty position in...

Hopefully Wisconsin is a smoldering crater by mid November and just playing out the season under an interim coach when the Gophers face them late in the month. The only good thing about not playing Nebraska in 2026 is the impressive Gopher win streak over them is 100% sure of remaining intact...

Well, she may end up pushing me even further. She will be in law school next year and she is still figuring out where. Iowa is a distinct possibility. Another whole set of team gear I don't have to ever worry about adding to my closet.

exactly! AND... to be the defacto college football commissioner while being in bed financially with one of the conferences is beyond insulting.

I not only could not care less about a 20 year old drinking alcohol a few weeks prior to his 21st birthday, carrying a fake ID, but the only reason I care at all is to react to those that do care.

I was just in Madison this past weekend for my daughter's graduation. She had a great 4 years there and is already filled with memories, as any college grad would be. She has always known to address me with respect over the whole sports rivalry thing and has never trash talked or purchased a red...

The ever evolving SEC excuse parade has been really funny to watch. The one thing that has stayed very steady is the way they always go undefeated in hypothetical matchups though. That part of the narrative is always home base, rock solid.

I like the idea of eliminating conference championship games. That week of games should totally be replaced with playoff games, regardless if you are talking about a final field of 12, 16, 24, or 32 teams.

See here is the thing. Kids are growing up in a very different world than the one I grew up in. I was responding to your comments about setting an example and all that. Considering that, I didn't drink in high school AT ALL and that was at a time when underage drinking was actually more...

So are you saying that had I been a little more ridged about underaged drinking my kids would have cured cancer instead of their law degrees?

I think your idea of character and mine are apparently very, very different. I always tried to be realistic with my kids and I was pretty careful about picking my parenting hills to die on. In my experience, given the percentage of kids that have fake IDs and drink (smaller than it used to be...

Where is the U of Chicago? Maroons belong in their traditional conference!
