If you keep Darnold, you're signing someone to a really large multi-year contract, which means you no longer have that money to spend on other players. With the salary cap, can we keep the existing team intact and sign Darnold.

Not sure he'd come here. I think Eric Henderson (SD State) would, and probably Bucky McMillan (Samford) as well. Whoever we get, I think we need to move early (e.g., February) vs waiting until after the season.

And now a pic by Bethel, things looking good for the Royals, but still 12 minutes to play in a close game.

Bethel up 21-14 early in the 4th.

I was always a bit jealous of the Auzzie punters other teams had on their roster. I mean, how did IOWA get Dakin, and we got Crawford? Also, Crawford was way below average on scrambling for a first down. The guy could have been outrun by a sloth.

My ranking in terms of getting into the NFL: Senior Bowl > Shrine Bowl >>> Hula Bowl. My ranking in terms of fun getting to play in it: Hula Bowl >>>>> Shrine Bowl >>>>>> Senior Bowl

In college, we named our dorm floor's softball team "BYE", and thought it was great until nobody was showing up for our games. We won by forfeit, so more time to drink beers, but still not getting to play was kind of a bummer.

These folks have made some great covers of albums. Check out their Black Sabbath tunes as well.

Because they miss coaching. A lot of folks retire, and then want to go back to work, but don't want to do it on a full-time or long-term basis. The new temp coach wouldn't worry about recruiting or fundraising, which is a huge time sink that's gotta be a pretty miserable part of the job, and...

Coyle is a very real problem. IMO, with NIL, we need an AD that can market the program and bring in "investors" to raise the needed dollars. Coyle is exactly the opposite. The guy has the marketing charisma of a turnip. If you're a coach looking to move up to a new landing spot, without...

Here's my change as to how you select the 12: Teams in the P4 that get into their conference championship game are automatically in. The top two (or may one) ranked teams from other conferences that played in their championship game are in. Leaving two (or maybe three) spots for teams that did...

Texas/Dallas is a lot bigger TV market than Alabama/Tuscaloosa, but ESPN will always work to protect the SEC.

Does this mean that for the B1G, a scholarship is only guaranteed for one year vs all four years?

Is this a move to make cap space to sign Kirill to a new contract? Spurgeon's contract ends in 2026, so he's gone. Jiricek won't be paid near the $8M price tag that Spurgeon's collecting this year, it'll be closer to $1M.

The best site for signing day news IMO is https://www.thedailygopher.com/2024/12/3/24312818/minnesota-football-recruiting-early-signing-day-2024-storystream We're still waiting on Jackson Kollock to sign, but it's still early in the morning in CA.

FOX had this tune, from Durry who hails from Lakeville, playing as an outtake during this week's Ohio-Michigan game.

The one and only rule change I want is automated strike/ball calls at the plate. The home plate ump has way too much say in who wins games... ... okay, one more, but it's only for low-level minor league teams. The idea is to get catchers more time behind the plate where teams often don't have a...

Mariano Sori-Marin is coaching at the U, unpaid position, but still part of the coaching team.

Here's hoping he gets drafted. IMO he should. Having a quick release is a big deal in the NFL, as is of course being able to progress through reads to find the open pass. Also, there's not a lot of huge QB talent in this year's draft, so he has a few items going for him.
