    Totally disagree on this. We can't compete with the big-budget teams on bringing in expensive players who are on the downside of their careers and are looking for a soft place to play for a couple more years. Instead, we're putting our money on younger players that are on their way to moving up...

    Random thoughts on the game: It's a lot of fun watching Ramsey coach. They came out in a 5-4-1 formation with a high-line for the back 5. This completely clogged up the middle of the field, making Salt Lake players do a lot of running while we packed it in and played basically a zone defense...

    Thirty-Three Years Ago the Greatest Game in the History of Baseball was Played, and it Just Happened to be the Seventh Game of the World Series.

    This game had it all - including the best performance of a pitcher I've ever seen. Jack Morris going 10 innings for the win.

    One reason I like college ball over NFL is that in college ball you can tackle the quarterback (touch the QB in the NFL and odds are good it's going to get called). Looks like the college game is going the same way as NFL.

    Sorry folks. My bad. I saw OK was Texas's next game on their schedule, but they're taking this week off - next week is Texas vs OK. GII had it right.

    Movies that hold up vs. those that don't

    As a side gig I help out from time-to-time on reading new screenplays. As part of working on a new script someone is writing, I spent a few days watching suspense movies where the main scene plays out on an island that people can't leave. "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" was great to watch again -...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN BATTLE FOR THE LITTLE BROWN JUG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    PJ's grand plan... Phase A: Purposely play terribly at IWOA, so Michigan players think we're a crap team and treat their prep week as a vacation. Phase B: Then, having duped them, we come out blazing and bring home the jug. Phase C: We then "lose" the jug just like WisconSIN "lost" the slab...

    USC DL Bear Alexander plans to redshirt the remainder of the season and enter the transfer portal

    I feel for the UNLV fans - finally get a decent team, and maybe even an invite to join the PAC, and the key players quit and the invite never comes. As for all these players, why do they have to wait until next season to join another team? I see another lawsuit coming and so far, whatever the...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Yep, as others have said, Tulane got an invite but turned them down. The public reasons were increased travel and such, the core reason is that financially they're far better off in the ACC than the PAC. New Mexico State and UTEP, however, would love to join the PAC. We'll see if Air Force...

    I'll take any wins we can get, especially on the road. If we get into the playoffs, I'll consider this season a success, as it was truly a transition year - new coach, new players, new system, etc. We are set up pretty well for next year. We're still missing a possession midfielder, and Boxal...

    Looking on the upside, tickets to Gopher home games are going to be cheap and easy to get... ... I also have a place in Austin TX, decent tickets cost a lot more there than they do here (but the food is a LOT better, as is the football being played by the home team).

    And they chose to play into the sun during the first quarter. Here's what it looked like right before he threw the interception.
