    If the blue bloods left for a "super league", who would be hurt more, them or the also-rans like us?

    And why? To be the Twins to their Yankees? If the big boys aren't going to give us at least a chance to be competitive, then it's not worth it. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how all this turns out. It's like watching a train crash...or not. Who the hell knows? Someday this will be a hit...

    Without the rest of us, the Blue Bloods aren't Blue Bloods anymore, they are just average teams in a semi-pro league. Why not just watch the NFL? They'll lose 70%-80% of their audience because there just aren't that many of those schools. Casual fans will toon out. What would ESPN be paying...

    I agree. They need us as much as we need them. As upnorthkid said, it would be lose-lose.

    I probably listen to too many national podcasts that say teams like the Gophers are begging to be kept in the Big Ten and will do whatever Michigan, Ohio State, USC and the others tell us to do. I hope that's not true. It sure isn't true for me. I'll always be a Gopher fan. I don't care if...

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    The Ivy League already did this and they are still considered The Ivy League! It doesn't seem to have hurt them one bit.

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    Oddly enough, Minnesota is Ohio State's Northwestern State so this would not be an unusual set up in the B1G.

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    You and everybody knows my name are so right. I would be totally fine if we lost Ohio State, Michigan and USC. It would probably be better if we could be regional again. Are we even sure these schools are pushing us around and it's not the other way around? Maybe the poor masses of the...

    CFP Ranking

    I like the 12 team playoff with first four selected by ranking and having byes as is currently the case, BUT would prefer MORE auto bids. I don't need to see the 4th ranked B1G or SEC team get in. If you can't even MAKE your conference title game in the P2, I'm OK if you lose your shot. Like...

    Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

    Interesting, maybe we didn't offer Linder because we already have two OTs signed - Trout (MN) & Meier (WI). So I'll change my greedy take, let's just get the top 4 from MN by adding Pierce. I don't think PJ has ever done that before! That would be very Iowa like.

    Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

    I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those "other" TEs becomes a lineman especially the guy at the bottom of our class that is already 6'6" and 230. Call me greedy, but I want five of five especially if it sets Iowa & Penn State back!

    Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

    The kid is an amazing athlete. His basketball highlights are more impressive than football. He dunks a lot because it's just easy for him. It's not like he needs a runway. Watch 247 - 2nd video. Seems very quick for 6'5". Get him and Roman Voss and we'll have two tremendous, athletic...

    The deal is near finalized for #UCLA football to play its home games in SoFi Stadium.

    I went to a couple games at the dome back when I was a student in the 90's. It sucked and it was BECAUSE it wasn't on campus, not because the dome was old, at least to me. I just don't think a shiny new stadium would have mattered much. You've got to have the stadium on campus. Location...

    CFP Ranking

    We could be catching them at a good time. The game with Iowa should be tight and physical. We'll be coming off a bye and it will be their 5th game in a row. How injured they are will matter. It will help them that it's a home game. They follow the game with us going straight into rivalry...

    FIRE GREG HARBAUGH

    That is already happening. MSU played a lot of man even though Joe Rossi prefers zone. No one is afraid of our receivers.

    Fletcher Merkel

    I loved his defending his "Row the Boat" mantra at about the 3:30 mark. It's so much deeper to him than just football. It's so easy to criticize when you're not the guy trying to lead 108 young men. We get so many fly-bys on here where people don't take much time to understand things at a...
