When I said nobody is losing sleep over them not making the playoffs, I wasn't referring to them, their fan base, etc. - wherever in the world they may be.

Who outside of Notre Dame will lose sleep over them not getting in the playoff? I get it that their undies are in a bunch - that goes without saying.

The bowls were becoming rapidly irreverent with player opt outs and coaching firings and hirings. The bowls were slowly returning to their exhibition roots. But with the playoff, future growth of the playoffs, and now entire teams opting out of bowl season I feel the writing is on the wall...

as others have said... sure, stay independent if that is your tradition and schtick, but that should make it HARDER to get to the playoff, not easier. Trade your independent ability to craft your own schedule, gobble all your TV money without sharing, etc. but as a price it should be a bit...

When there is parity on the field but one of the two conferences still gets to have a bunch of its teams ranked, they get to advertise “big” games. Another reason why people that say “rankings don’t matter” are wrong.

(Nearly) every F@&$ing year! The Gophers may never lose a bowl game again the way they get pushed down to the kid’s table every year. And don’t tell me “they got what they deserved” or “if you don’t like it, win more games” because I’m exactly talking about the bowls and opponents the the...

I can’t say it enough… the college football playoff participants need to be decided by how they finish in their conference races, NOT human opinion or votes. The SEC propaganda machine is relentless and everlasting. Just take that out of the equation by making participants be responsible for...

Experts project playoffs and national championships for the Gophers in 2029 and 2034. But they are saying that is between 60-70% chance of Championships, with the remaining percentage being allotted to... The Pinstripe Bowl.

I have come around to this opinion. Lots of schools have little quirks. Mississippi State clangs cowbells. Boise State has a blue field. Rushing the field on a regular basis (instead of remarkable situations) could be "our thing." I sort of resisted the idea at first, cringing when the students...

Looks like two MIAC/WIAC matchups this weekend. I will reiterate my opinion that the WIAC in D3 is a fish out of water. Just very different schools compared to the rest of D3. More like D2 than the small enrollment private liberal arts institutions that make up most of D3.

The Gophers totally missed on Kurt Ploeger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Ploeger

Now that the SEC isn't dominant, the narrative has changed to "The Big 10 isn't as deep, it isn't a gauntlet. Look: they don't have as many ranked wins." Suddenly all they care about is ranked wins. That is because they get to have half their conference ranked at the start of every season so...

For those of you sharing links to bowl projections placing the Gophers in New York for the Pinstripe Bowl, don't forget: The Gophers are also slated to likely participate in the Pinstripe bowl after the 2026, 2027, 2028, 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033, 2035, 2036, 2037, and 2038 seasons. After that the...

The thing that pisses me off the most is with replay, it has always been said that to overturn a call it has to be really obvious. At the very least, this wasn't obvious at all. The fact it is debatable is reason enough to conclude it shouldn't have been reversed. I'm still burning over the...

I just have so much disdain for the SEC, any team from there is always my first choice.
