Bierman's many best teams, of course - you'd figure maybe 1936 when the Gophers finished 7-1 (losing only to Northwestern in the mud), but number one in the first AP poll, which was universally accepted as the one and only championship authority. But I'd say 1940, when also 8-0, but finishing a...

The 4 team playoff uses only 3 bowls, but squeezes out some teams at the same level (GA this year); an 8-team playoff would use 7 bowls and would have worked better this year, allowing in Oregon, GA, FL State, Ohio St; the 12-team playoff is the worst of all, as it is almost a second season -...

Very true. QBs missing all over the place. Maybe (but probably not) coaches and ADs will have the common sense and decency to reinstate the one year sit-off rule, which was good for college football and prevented the anarchy we see now as greed dominates every aspect of the game, from coaches'...

Be competent in passing about 40% of the time, though each game will have its own strategy. PJ will run it 70 times if it will win THAT game. The B18 will have to restore some kind of divisions or lose fan interest. An 18-team league is absurd.

Kramer hit only 50%, but threw for two TDs and ran for one. Darius had 208 yards at six per carry, which is gold standard territory. Nubin looked good in relief and the defense kept the Gophers in the kind of game they don't like, a wild passing attack. Kramer's 50% included some unwise Hail...

Nice...very nice.

PJ reverting to his over-cautious mode. Won't win with that. he really needs an independent-minded OC.

Walley gives up the long ball, but Taylor looks good, as done Kramer. 6-7.

Why would you do that? With the best kicker in the B10, you pull a wacko play like that and lose a point? Plus your kicker, running the ball, could get hurt. Call a psychiatrist for PJ.

North Dakota State. Very fond of Fargo, too.

I had the same thought all season. just wondering...now we'll find out.

Utah is tough on defense year after year. They were tonight, too, except for a few passes by the QB who beat us at the end of the game despite being down 21. The guy is amazing. The NW defense was scary - glad we don't play them in a bowl. Good game, lots of speed and toughness on defense for...

Nebbie recruiting: loaded up on defensive backs, receivers, tight ends, O linemen to go with Dylan Raiola at QB.

Nebraska needs him. But this era will be seen in retrospect as one of greed and lunacy.

You nailed it. This kind of chaos in any human activity cries for reform. Anarchy is a swing of the pendulum too far in one direction - and it will have to come back the other way, as it always does - the trick being not going too far in the other direction, as in politics.

18 teams in one league isn't going to help. Michigan, Washington, Southern Cal, Ohio State, UCLA, Penn State, Oregon are going to be in the top ten, with maybe a team like Wisconsin or Iowa making it now and then, but the roughly second half of the league will be out of it most years. Restoring...

Rumors swirling that GA recruit at QB, Dylan Raiola, described by some as the best H.S. QB in the nation - is headed to Nebraska. That would make a difference.

Federal courts love to throw a monkey wrench into local government, thus extending their powers.

"Things fall apart...the centre cannot hold." (Yeats). Why does PJ go for all these co-something staffers. Get a really good DC and a really good OC, with one or both good recruiters.

Damn!
