I was not thinking it would hold up!

OK, let me try my thought process this way. (Fully granted, my thought process may still have never been right in the first place!) Here are the Gopher athletic dept financial reports: https://gophersports.com/sports/2018/5/21/ot-financial-reports-html The NCAA ones have way more detail. The...

Then how are these private coaches and these "development" centers, or whatever you want to call them, so profitable? There are plenty of skills to learn, and to practice, at every position.

Well said. If we lost @ Iowa and @ Oregon, and win the rest ... and I don't care how they win them, or if the other teams lose them, a win is a win ... 8-4 and Music City Bowl is still a good season.

If you're going to lie about what people say, as you do here lying about what I said, then there's no point trying to have a discussion with you

Bold 1: would really love to get four wins out of that. 8-4 I think would be a nice season. I think it's doable, but they have to sweep at home and then get a win on the road at Iowa or NW (which might be tougher than expected). Bold 2: he was damn slippery. I knew they could do some things on...

Who could have predicted what has happened to Indiana?? Seems like if you get the perfect conditions, then they prove that almost any arbitrary P4 team can suddenly get elevated. At least for a (short) time

It's BYE week. Zero reason to give any information. It will be the #1 talker in the league next week, who should/will start. My guess they'll both be available and we'll only find out at the start of the game (or shortly before it will leak out)

Why doesn't this apply to every other boyssport, then? Basketball? Hockey? Soccer?

There is no requirement to increase football scholarships and I believe the SEC schools instituted a hard (or otherwise an agreement) to stay at 85. You don't need 105 scholarship guys to be successful. But sure the $20M rev share. But that should be paid for by the increase in TV deals...

I greatly enjoy your posts and the posts of most others in this thread (some I could do without). It's an interesting and fair point you bring up about Dart. He has played the last three weeks, granted that last week he was worse than his first week, but clearly played well against PHI this...

I would think Mpls would be attractive for headquarters of large companies. Still lot of HQ here, so fair amount of executive/upper management talent around, good quality of life while housing costs are significantly lower than coasts. Granted in banking specifically maybe too much needs to be...

What are these costs, that are due right now and are so scary?? Do we (I mean the U, of MN) have $100M in the red that we have to pay off right now? Honestly, I'd rather cut way back on the number of varsity sports. Sorry, but not really sorry, things like tennis, golf, track/cross country...

OK, Let me see if I got it roughly correct: - BTE will be a created entity that takes in all of the revenue from league-wide TV deals - it will probably pay out a small amount off the top to pay for the conference's operating costs itself - then distributes the rest to all the shareholders: 20...

Here is my question, as I am obviously naive to this stuff (and most stuff, :D): normally if you are a start-up company and you get an investment from PE, they now own X% of your company (some percentage of shares) and may (probably do) have some ability to have a say in the major decisions of...

Idea simply is that maybe you'd prefer starting guys who aren't just going to be gone after this season anyway. But, in the age of "just go get someone new out of the portal", maybe that is not really relevant at all anymore

Actually, NW plays at Penn State today! So we'll see how that holds up :ROFLMAO:

Definitely some semantics involved, but WF definitely existed prior to merger with NW and had its HQ in SF.

Doh, I knew I was forgetting something when I posted. Yes of course, USB ... LOL, the Vikings stadium namesake. Geez

The only move on the OL that has turned out bad is Kelly, because he can't stay healthy. Dude has to retire, plain and simple. Center requires the least raw physical ability*. (* assuming 40 fronts are the majority, which it still is at this time) Brandel can handle those duties the rest of the...
