I graded it as D. It was looking like an F early on.

The 1960 season wasn't anticipated at all. Minnesota had gone 3-15 the previous 2 years, and Murray Warmath was hung in effigy.

Lol if you think the $50 million per year from the BTN is because of Rutgers.

What relevance does it have to Minnesota basketball if coach K or Roy Williams is the better coach? (I think K is pretty clearly the better coach FWIW.)

How did Jim Delaney convince at least 9 of the 12 Big 10 members (Pretty sure that was the minimum standard for admission) that Rutgers delivers the NYC or even NJ tv markets? It’s one thing for one person to have a goofy idea like Rutgers bringing TV markets. But when 12 people, especially 12...

We have satellites that have pictured the earth and showed it to be round. How is it even up for debate anymore?

Even their per player average is pretty low, actually.

Nebraska’s ratings aren’t very high considering their football tradition.

Solid B+. A little bit hard to call it an A, especially coming off a 10 win season.

The idea of being the best 0-12 team of all time. You don’t think that’s funny? The winner of that award is the 2008 Washington Huskies, coached by Ty Willingham. They had a one point loss to BYU early in the year because a controversial celebration penalty on QB Jake Locker brought their...

We're currently #18 in SP+. That's not very good for a 10-2 team, but I am sure there have been plenty of G5 teams that have been 10-2 and had a worse SP+ rating. I'd be pretty surprised if we even have the worst rating for a power conference team that's been 10-2. And Auburn actually is the...

Yeah, but our current #33 class is an outlier- and a positive outlier. We currently are #46 in talent composite. That's not good, if you consider that there are, to be exact, 65 power teams. (Including Notre Dame) They seriously had recruiting rankings in 1986 or 1987?

Going into this year, 2016 UGA was the best ever 3 loss team in SP+, which goes back to 2005. If you want a really big laugh, look at the best 12 loss teams since 2005.

You disagree that the last 3 coaches are/were awful?

Pitino just sucks. I don't think the idea that he "lost" the team is accurate. The team is still listening to him, but the team will still do badly.

I don't think Rich "lost" the team. Rich just is a bad coach.

Having 2 big wins would be momentous for the program. 10-3 with one big win would be a nice season. But I could understand why outsiders might regard that as something of a fluke. 11-2 with two big wins? That would make it clear to everybody that the Gophers are on the rise.

I wonder if any Auburn fans (or any non-Minnesota fans really) has any idea that we're the only team that's ever won 5 national titles in 8 years. Alabama, with their 5 titles in 9 years from 09-17, is the only program to come close since. Maybe we should post things about MN football history...

I'd be thrilled if we could consistently land top 40 classes. The classes in the low 50s are not good. I mean, there are only about 65 Power 5 teams.

They're 7.5 point favorites, which is a pretty big line for a bowl game. (Although it's nothing compared to the 13.5 point LSU/Oklahoma line.) I'd certainly make Auburn the favorite, although I think the 7.5 point line is too high. I think Auburn by 4 should be about the betting line.
