Correct. I took the headline off the net but messed up the paraphrasing.

We know he's a blue collar player.

Jake Ratzlaff has been charged with sexual assault and is facing a 7-game suspension at BYU for the upcoming season. Reports are he is moving on. BYU QB Jake Retzlaff reportedly transferring in wake of honor code suspension stemming from sexual assault allegation

I think his passes would just sail away.

I agree. I'm no great basketball mind, but I think Battle is better suited for the NBA game with his shooting range and he looks to be a bit more mobile on offense and can set up quickly either off the dribble or off a screen with his shot. Key for Garcia will be what he can do on defense. He...

Better than mit Kraut (where's the umlaut when you need one).

This is small potatoes compared to a lot of the other Federal court injunctions with national reach, but the Supreme Court's decision yesterday would seem to invalidate whatever the NJ Federal judge ruled.

I'm spitballing (which I often do), but for all of the contacts Brewster had developed as an assistant, he never came from what I would call a "coaching tree." He just seemed to assemble a staff like a drunk going through a grocery store and just throwing things in his cart. He had moved...

My guess is there's a conversation about how the player envisions his future and the coaching staff talking in vague terms about how they see the player, as in, "Once you get into our training program where we can get a better assessment as to where you might best be used, we'll talk to you...

I think it took awhile for Fleck to really build up the in-state connections, but he appears a bridge has been crossed and we'll be in the hunt for the best in-state players going forward. I know that a lot of the high school coaching contingent really loved (and I mean LOVED) Jerry Kill and...

Thanks. Did not know that. It's often difficult to figure out how decisions are made regarding some players. Obviously in Watt's case, DL was where he should have been. Of course, he got a lot bigger between high school and when he got to Wisconsin.

So true. Sometimes it worked (Barber, Spaeth) and sometimes it didn't (Alex Daniels). It's always important to remember that JJ Watt was being recruited as a TE when he committed to the Gophers (de-committed after Mason was fired). Watt should probably send Bruininks and Maturi a thank-you note.

No Brendan Kelly either. He wouldn't be on the first team, but he seemed to warrant honorable mention.

Welll, that was fast and Furian.

I don't know but wouldn't be surprised. Lloyd Voss was born in Adrian, MN, which is in Rock County, and there's just one county (Nobles) between Rock and Jackon counties. That said, Voss is not that uncommon a name in Scandinavian communities, several of which are dotted all over Southwestern...

So reading the CBS story, there doesn't appear to be any clearly delineated limitations on NIL so what does this solve other than there will be money for pretty much every player?

I grew up outstate, but lived in and around Minneapolis for most of my adult life. It appears I am a little older than you and I imbibed (in more ways than one) the night life in Minneapolis in the late-1970s through the 1980s. 1980s were pretty much a golden era for young professionals in...

I see very little ripping from the beat writers covering the teams or the team-affiliated broadcasters. Columnists are much milder than they were when Barreiro was ladling out his thoughts in print. It's different on the internet and the unaffiliated radio shows where basically discussion...

Thanks for posting the article. People rag on Reusse, but even as he nears 80 he can still put pen-to-paper (or should that be fingers-to-keyboard) with the best of them. As he wrote in the article, he cut his teeth in an era when clubhouse reporters (especially columnists) could rip the team...

Leach gets a ton of credit for the work done by earlier coaches like Mouse Davis who developed the run-and-shoot at Portland State in the mid-1970s that featured two QBs who played in the pros: June Jones and Neil Lomax. Hal Mumme was doing pretty much the same thing at Kentucky with Tim Couch...
