My dad took me to see Bierman's final years at the U after I showed an interest in the warriors I saw in the Sunday peach sports section. I liked military history and football looked like it was military: offense, defense, helmets, physical struggle, casualties. The first teams I saw were the...

Gophers 27 VT 23

Except it is.

Plus three of the four games were icebox games. Move these early games to bowls in warmer areas and have an even field of play for both teams. There are 50+ bowls - lots to choose from, doesn't matter if they are unknown.

NCAA should go back to the old rules on transfer - show some spine, tamp down the anarchy and bad faith.

I agree - VT is 6-6 but had close losses to very good opponents. I think the game will be competitive, and in a big downtown stadium, and if it's not raining the temp may be moderate (52 average daytime high, 32 night at this time of year), plus Charlotte has a lot to offer in restaurants...

Not only that, but Charlotte is more hospitable, weather-wise, than NYC, and the Gophers are playing an opponent they are on par with.

Anarchy is not a system and NIL is unsustainable. Anarchy always leads to its opposite - regimentation. A restoration of order is inevitable. At present nothing matters but the Playoff. Fans will tire of that and demand regional divisions, recognizable loyalties, geographic limitations, local...

We need regional divisions for '25 and ever after. 18 teams swingin' in the wind won't do it.

Restore the old portal/transfer rules - that will go a long way toward ending anarchy and restoring loyalty and discipline. ADs and coaches should be able to get that done.

An unsustainable system that has to be reformed.

I think Fleck is third in tenure in the B10 and he should embrace that and make it clear unless the AD spot goes with it, he won't leave for another coaching job - and that offer isn't likely. He's hitting just above 60% and doesn't have the pushovers Mason had every year - hence the best...

Without a runner, they'll have no offense whatsoever.

Coaches used to have five years - I remember when it was a shock when a coach was fired for less than five years. Two years is ridiculous and totally unfair - even Barry Alvarez opened his long tenure at Wisconsin with three losing seasons.

Nothing wrong with ties - a normal part of the game for over a century. Reserve overtime for championships and bowl games and dump the present overtime system.

Simple: home game for Badgers; they need 6th win for bowl; they will want to bounce back from Nebraska loss.

True.

The Nebs are doing okay with a second year coach and should beat Wisconsin to finally break the bowl drought. But the Nebraska lesson is that you can't keep cycling coaches. The folly started by firing a coach with a 9-3 season and an overall record at the school of 58-19: Frank Solich who had...
