You obviously don't know what a premise is. Let's consider 2019 Heather. As you know we finished the season ranked what, 10 in the CFP rankings? With 2 wins against teams with winning records. How many times has PJ won 11 games since? -0- How many times has PJ won 10 games since? -0-. How...

Sure, but some here would have us believe 2019 is proof we're on the verge of the CFP. It can be true that annual beatings can be proof that one coaching staff knows how to consistently outcoach another. And talent being more or less a wash, I'd put my money on the Hawkeyes until Fleck proves...

Hawkeyes have been gaining ground over the last eight seasons.

One for how many against the Hawkeyes (with the asterisk of controversial call) .... and OK. GH doesn't meltdown once a year for nothing.

You ignore my premise - the program has been built, it is no longer being built. 2019 is ancient history and was accomplished in part with players from the previous regime. Where is the indication that the program has been on an upward trajectory since 2019? I of course allowed that perhaps PJ...

PF has been here since 2017. Where is the evidence that the program is still be built going into season 9? I would argue that the program is built and there isn't evidence of an upward trajectory anymore. The ceiling is 9 wins but probably the realistic expectation each year is 7 or 8 wins...

Given the conservative nature of PJ's offenses, its hard to imagine our team being double digit favorites ever.

I'm not a gambler but does beating the spread mean winning the game? Might it also mean not losing as bad as the odds makers/betters think they will?

There are suites and premium club seating. And while attendance has improved, most games still have empty seats. Why add amenities for which there seemingly is no demand?

How many of these were upset wins? I think that would be a reverse corollary to the "bad losses" discussion. My perception, which may or may not be factual, is that Fleck averages about a loss a year to a team he should certainly beat, does ok against evenly matched opponents, and only very...

Those three won conference championships. Maybe Fleck gets there with the playing field now slightly leveled. But Fleck did have interest at UCLA but UCLA's poverty dimmed his interest. I do think the longer he's here the less likely he leaves absent a few sub .500 seasons.

Seems legit except we can't beat Iowa and they might have a QB this year. And Peej always loses a can't lose game. Buffalo, NWSt, or Purdue will pull the upset. 8-4.

two hs QBs is better than one.

I also acknowledged musical theater and occasional riots.

Endowments, donations and institutional support are reported as revenue.

Did Big 10 hockey increase Big 10 Network revenue at all? Did it increase revenue to the hockey schools? From what I'm reading here, it didn't. Is there a Big 10 hockey conference only because Notre Dame is a hockey member? It would seem to me that the other Big 10 hockey schools are likely...

If he's still transferring, I hope PJ has reached out. I don't care if he drowns a puppy daily. This isn't your daddy's college football, its a business. And we ought to be in the business of winning games. Is Lawrence Phillips still alive? Does he still have eligibility?

That I wasn't aware of - although I see now that the Midco deal is subsequent to the analysis I was referring to. $500,000/yr from Midco to UND so maybe the hockey team has positive margins these days.

Mid major athletics are heavily subsidized. UND hockey loses money. NDSU FB loses money. SDSU's athletic dept revenue is 37% student fees against $6.5 million in ticket sales. USD generates a paltry $1.5 million in ticket sales and has over 60% of its revenue from student fees. These schools...

Many gopherholers are surprised to learn that there's electricity and internet outside the 494/694 beltway. If there isn't congestion, musical theater, occasional riots and gang violence, there's "nothing to do" and the place must be a dump, especially if a 17 year old kid from there decided to...
