    Thoughts on West and Conference as a whole after 2 weeks

    Yards per play offense and national rank: Wisconsin: 6.0 (32) Minnesota: 4.6 (97) Iowa: 4.3 (106) Wisconsin's offense has definitely looked the best moving the ball. Their passing game is way ahead of the other two. But they're also turning the ball over way too much. Yard per play Defense...

    I asked an Eastern Michigan reporter six questions.

    30 points against Minnesota is a bold prediction. B1G West programs will struggle to do that.

    Week 1 Big Ten Power Rankings Thread

    I think they'll be able to throw on some teams. Minnesota makes it tougher to move the ball than other teams do.

    What is the State of the Big Ten After Week One?

    I'm not sold on their pass rush or their ability to stop the run. The problem is does anyone of the contenders have a good enough run game or offense in general to take advantage of that? Illinois' OL could give them trouble. Do they have the skill guys? Iowa would struggle to run on an FCS...

    What is the State of the Big Ten After Week One?

    I thought Wisconsin looked the best overall. They could at least run the ball. In the B1G West that is enough. I think they have a big test next week against a good QB. Iowa is lost on O and their QB is hobbled. D will always be stingy but they've taken a significant step back on that side of...

    Fleck said the Gophers still are awaiting the NCAA's decision on the eligibility of defensive back Craig McDonald.

    I believe the reason Fields got cleared quickly is because his reason for transferring stemmed from a baseball player at Georgia using a racial slur directed at Fields. He also hired an attorney to handle it which was very smart. A lot of players just file the waiver and wait for the NCAA...

    1st Sporting event you attended

    Iowa vs Michigan State 1985. Got to walk on the astroturf field afterward. Basically green cement.

    ESPN Big Ten Predictions

    I think Washington State get them in week 2. They got a pretty good QB coming back and their leading rusher returns as well.

    Are the Gophers better than everyone says they are?

    This would be 100% true if college football was structured like the NFL with it's design of creating competitive balance among all 32 teams. The reality is that college football is built on a very unequal playing ground. The only way programs like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Iowa...

    Joel Klatt ranks college football's preseason top 25

    Local beat writers are calling Wisconsin's WR group the most talented the program has had in decades, maybe ever. They seem pretty confident Fickell has completely retooled that position.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    I believe part of the reason that the Wooderson character got bigger during the shoot was because Jason London and Shawn Andrews didn't get along at all and their characters, Pink and Pickford, were supposed to be buddies and the original plan was for the 2 of them and their girlfriends to be...

    Don't be surprised if the SEC and Big Ten go pro in the future...

    The NFL isn't worried about losing to anyone. If they want to put their games on a particular day of the week or specific day of the year they will do so and dominate.

    PAC 12 Dissolution

    Enlighten me then. Why didn't the B1G take Washington & Oregon a year ago? Do you you think if the Pac 12 would have decided to stay together Friday morning that the B1G would have pressed the issue and offered more to get them to jump ship?

    PAC 12 Dissolution

    If the B1G really wanted them they would have taken them 12 months ago and made them full share members like USC & UCLA. They didn't. It sounds like they didn't even consider it after vetting them. Every B1G school took a pay cut to take those 2. There is only one reason to make that kind of...

    Breaking from the Athletic: Big 10 to invite Washington and Oregon

    I'm sure that was what most people would have said a few years ago if asked, "Will the B1G add USC, UCLA, Washington, & Oregon?" In fact the question was so out there nobody would have bothered asking it. Now here we are in that reality. The only thing that is 100% certain here is money will...
