Taking the pooch for a walk tonight, and I may have been one of 163 people listening to Mike Max. He was talking about Gopher athletics, Tracy Claeys, and the groundbreaking ceremony that went on today. Max went on to say that the new facilities will never match the top end Big 10 programs...

Traffic is going to be interesting come Thursday. State Fair park and ride is not an option. The train isn't so appealing when you're waiting in line and it's almost midnight. My plan is to get to close to the stadium pretty early and shell out primo dollars for parking. That is unless a wise...

Yeah, there seems to be a pattern. http://www.startribune.com/star-tribune-s-rayno-adds-her-own-story-to-teague-scandal/321199871/

I really like the Buckeyes this year. Before the season starts, it's hard to find a weakness. The Gophers play at Columbus on November 7. Which quarterback would you prefer to see in the backfield? I think they're all great. Braxton Miller is proven and was a favorite for the Heisman before...

So I see the NFL is mixing it up by adding yards for a single point touchdown conversion. I heard the projected success rate is now 91% That compares to 99% using the previous method from the 2 yard line. Should the NCAA follow suit? I would think think the 91% rate would not be attainable...

A colleague has season tickets for Badger football. He mentioned that he got a letter saying his tickets are going up this year from $45 to $48. If this is true, didn't Norwood tell us that all other Big 10 teams would be falling in line with major price hikes? Evidently, not this year.

It appears a decision from Harbaugh isn't that far away. I'm hoping that Harbaugh returns to Michigan. I like a villain, and Jim H. really has good potential. After Bert left for the SEC, we really have slim pickings. Andersen was starting to get in my craw, but he left. Ferentz is stale...

In years past, we've stumbled across a couple of position changes that happened during bowl season. Can we expect any this year? Our Gophers are pretty thin at quarterback, but after observing Steveler, I wish he could see the field more often. He was tough as nails at quarterback this year...

If it was the Buckeyes visiting Becky this weekend, what would you suspect the Vegas line be? We'll never know, but I'd guess OSU would be giving 5. About right?

It's that time! If you're able to find it, please post one of my all time favorite pictures. You know the one, the gopher fan with Detlef's stein. Is Detlef's great Grandma Endora still alive and cursing the Gophers? It appears that Tabitha's spell gave Stave a case of the yips. Dang kids...

The home schedule is over. Here's my humble opinion of the top five players that I saw. 1) J.T. Barrett. Even with a couple mistakes that could have proven costly, he is my runaway winner. 2) J. Bosa. This dude is scary. I keyed on him for a couple of series. Relentless, powerful, and...

According to Nate Sandell post. Smart.

With all of the talk about heated benches, it got me thinking about what is more beneficial for athletes. Being that it will likely be in the lower 20's, what does a body good? Is it better to remain cold and stay away from artificial heat? Or would the athletes be better off warming up...

I know you can't rely on a steady dose of youngsters if you're trying to win Big 10 games. Saturday, I've got a good feeling about two. First, Connor Mayes is said to be getting more action. He's had a few weeks to prepare for this, and I think that will help him mentally. Physically, he's...

In recent years, the Big 10 has produced some outstanding running backs. This year, there are so many backs that I think are rock solid. Here's my personal top 6. 1) Tevin Coleman. Dude is good. Tough, strong, elusive and fast. Reminds me of Eric Dickerson. Would be even better on a...

I don't recall the big guy on the field. If he has played I don't believe he has been targeted for a pass. There was quite a bit of hype for big Nate heading into the season. Is he healthy? Do I need to pay closer attention? Or could it be that he hasn't beat out those in front of him?

As we get closer to the football season, what Big 10 teams do you feel are overrated or underrated? My pick for overrated is Penn State. I don't think many are picking them to be Big 10 champs, and I am a fan of Hackenburg, but I think they're thin, and they have a new coach. I'd expect...

Has Kill ever commented on team captains? I remember the first year there was speculation as to who may be nominated. Kill brushed it off and indicated it will all work out. Since that time, I don't believe I've ever heard him comment on the topic. He must have his reasons for not having...

How many years has it been that a Minnesota recruit hasn't chosen Iowa, Wisconsin, or Notre Dame? There always seems to be at least one that chooses those schools. Nice job Coach Kill. I know that a kid should go to whatever school he feels will work best for him. But, it always bugs me when...

http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209385527&DB_OEM_ID=100 Although TCF Bank Stadium is less than five years old, technology has certainly changed. I'm not attached to my phone, but the service at The Bank needs to be upgraded. Nebraska is putting in over 12 million. I think...
