My dream is something along this lines. I would love to see the SEC and Big Ten to grow to whatever the magic number is 18 - 20 - 24... Break the Big Ten and SEC into divisions and then have a neutral scheduling committee create the schedules. Year 1 - Big Ten East plays the SEC East Year 2 -...

I could be wrong and I am sure that the fans that go will have a great time. The stadium itself is not very nice but obviously holds a mystique. I’m expecting the stadium to be 1/3 to 1/2 full for the game.

I agree. I’ve been to the Rose Bowl when I was on a vacation to the LA area. Didn’t see a game there but did see the stadium. I think fans are going to be underwhelmed. The Rose Bowl doesn’t have the magic or pageantry when it isn’t January 1. Read an article last fall that it actually has one...

I think pretty much every school - high school and college - around has adopted black as an unofficial school color. They may not have black jerseys but have sweatshirts, t-shirts, that are black.

100% I remember a team we played in high school wore silver pants at home and blue pants on the road and thinking "wow, that is awesome."

There are two things that I always thought 'back in the day' when I played - "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good." I don't get into the multiple uniform combinations but I don't hate it also. Side note, my son is 8 years old. He asks me every Wednesday or Thursday...

That is a tough one to explain. It seems like every time we played Wisconsin and now Illinois the teams are exactly the same... tough football players who play hard. If I would have to explain Arkansas, I think it would be his teams just weren't good enough to compete with Alabama, LSU, Auburn...

I'd take him in a second. He can flat out coach football.

I think the negativity comes from we should be 4-0 - easily could have made two field goals against NC and if we match our first half we win vs. Iowa. But instead of that flashy 4-0 win with a trophy game included, we are 2-2 having lost to both our P5 opponents.

Which is why I put the first sentence of my last paragraph in there.

Absolutely - Get a salary cap, come down hard and punish 'illegal money' - essentially NIL. Make it a step further. Free transfer after your second season and after you graduate. It is sad, but once you are at a school there should be at least a 2 year commitment. How do. you even build a...

I honestly don't know what our problem is but I do think you need to start at the top and the top is the university as a whole. Football is a bit of a different beast but if you look at basketball there is absolutely zero reason we aren't one of the best programs in the Big Ten, if not the...

Dang, I coached vs Tim for a few years. Great guy. His son was a heck of a player for them as well. Is there a caring bridge or anything?

He didn’t play any series, but seems like he was in on most 3rd downs and medium-to-long yardage situation. I agree with you I wish he would play more but also think they are easing him in. He was a bit behind not having spring ball and dealing with his hamstring issue.

I’m not ready to fire PJ, but getting close. I would go back 15-20 years… firing Mason wasn’t the wrong decision, hiring Brewster was the wrong decision. There are a lot of good coaches out there. At the end of the day if your school is in the Big Ten or SEC you are automatically one of the...

You have to chill out. At the end of the day, after all the BS of how bad we played, I was able to take my 8 year old to the game on a beautiful Saturday night, tailgate with friends and family, etc. once you realize the sun is coming up tomorrow, it was a good night. With that being said, PJ...

I love this. As much as I am not a fan Ferentz he knows how to win and coach his team. It feels like every year they are a better team in November than they are in September.

This is actually a perfect recap of the Minnesota/Iowa rivalry. Hope his score is wrong - but both teams HATE beating each other and will try nearly everything to lose the game. Lots of fluke plays in the past - best running back in recent school history having a career game and fumbles in the...

It always surprises me that people live normal lives after they hang up their helmet. Reminds me of being a kid and seeing your teacher at the grocery store... like a "you live a normal life too?" moment. Would be fun to have some alumni recognized every game. There is enough of them...

I don't think he was comparing North Carolina to Iowa. I think he was comparing the Iowa 2024 game vs. the Iowa 2023 game, etc. I think just the fact that it is Iowa vs. Minnesota, Floyd of Rosedale, National TV, etc adds all the juice you need. The whole return and invalid fair catch call is a...
