    Week 3 Other Games Thread

    Poor Tennessee fans. Gut wrenching loss. Georgia looked like the better team to me though. I find the Volunteer offense to be too gimmicky for my liking. No ability to sustain drives or keep the other team off the field. Iowa St just isn't that good. They are decent, but they'd get rolled...

    Dan Lanning shares Oregon has spoken with Big Ten about uneven preparation in his team's schedule (Lanning cites Gopher game)

    Any long time fan will remember the Mason years when the Big Ten gave each team one bye during the conference season. And like 4 years in a row, ours was the very last week (meaning we never really got a bye). So whatever. It's not going to hurt Oregon. Their inability to beat teams as...

    No BTN Football in 60

    You could just watch the first half again in 60. The second half isn't worth a second viewing.

    Even Iowa St fans know Iowa sucks. Glad to see the good team win.

    Ohio looks pretty good so far on offense. USF holding their own against Boise. Two good games to start the day.

    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    Of course they do. They can choose to not take the job they are being paid for.

    Gophers open as 16.5 point favorites over Buffalo, with a 45.5 o/u.

    I think we'll cover and win by 20+. Granted that all depends on QB1 and where he's at. We'll know pretty quick.

    What happened to the concept of a Non-Qualifier?

    Anyone remember, back in the day, we'd recruit these kids, we'd sweat out signing day to find out if they could get a C- and qualify? We lost lots of kids to not qualifying, had lots of discussions about whether we had harder or easier entrance requirements then Wisconsin. Saw kids that we...

    Offense 79th, Defense 9th

    To be fair, Iowa has had plenty of 8-10 win seasons with little to no offense. So it can be done. Our offense will never rank high with Fleck playing conservative ball to give the defense breathers. We're not going to have many (any?) drives that are under a minute this year that don't end in...

    P.J. Fleck gets a new contract extension—pending approval from Board of Regents—keeping him under contract until 2030.

    We're Minnesota fans. He could stay another 30 years and we'd think the next year is probably the last...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I was thinking how fun it will be when we win in Eugene. 11-1 sounds good to me.

    Paul Finebaum: What's a loss from your favorite sports team you still can't get over?

    There was a game I was at in the mid 80s were we were up something like 35-7 over Ohio State and choked it all away in the second half. Just went from dominating to playing like total crap. But the Michigan game on Halloween, where I looked at my wife and said we're going to win this game...

    Urban Meyer's bold claim is correct, Big Ten has passed SEC as top-dog conference in college football

    Not the way he throws to the other team. Can't win in big games despite all the talent he could want around him. That said, I could see the Browns taking him. Or the Jets.
