If we had Cignetti as the HC before the start of the year, the Gophers would be contending for a CFP spot this year. It's as simple as that. The schedule and NIL level are irrelevant. Hell, we would have crushed the Buckeyes with Cignetti coaching. I learned this from a couple of CFB geniuses...

Give him an extension now.

Got it! In your mind, Indiana being in a better NIL position has nothing to do with their success this year. We could just trade coaches and Minnesota would be contending for a CFP spot right now. You convinced me and I see the light. Enjoy the rest of the Gophers game.

Serious question, do you think Indiana's season last year was any different than PJ's 2019 season? They had a better record, but their best win was against a mediocre Michigan team. They didn't beat anyone that the 2019 Gophers wouldn't beat. They got the breaks last year. To Indiana's credit...

Money matters, yes.

Where did I say that? I'm pointing out that Cignetti has some built in advantages to attracting better talent than PJ does. I don't know enough about him to judge him personally.

It has been reported that Indiana's NIL funds are nearly double Minnesota's. Regardless if that's accurate or not, I don't know what the color the sky is your world if you think Minnesota is anywhere close to Indiana in money terms.

Fair. Still he's building a team through the portal and has had the benefit of the weakest schedule in the conference. NIL is also a couple notches higher than Minnesota also.

None of Indiana's transfers came from JMU last year and 9 of the 23 total came from G5 schools. The majority of transfers came from B1G, SEC and ACC schools including Mendoza, a Cal transfer.

Trust me, Minnesota's NC schedule was a gauntlet compared to Indiana.

If PJ had the advantage of a Mark Cuban to bankroll a bunch of talented transfers and scheduled the puffiest of creampuffs for the noncon, don't you think he would have similar results?

I'm curious to hear a hog fan's perspective on Arkansas passing on Drake Lindsey. How upset were a lot of fans?

He's a bad m***** f*****!

It's one of the most Minnesota things ever. We can't have players on terrible teams getting their feelings hurt and developing self-esteem issues because their team is terrible.

Nearly everyone is a CFB genius this week.

Correct. This is Purdue Championship week. Get this one then it's on to Nebraska Championship week.

It looked like pass blocking was quite good to me. Drake was only sacked once and had a fair amount of time to look for open receivers. Actually having open receivers was another story.

Elway has made a good chunk of money outside of football.

Wait! St Peter is both in 3A and 4A? Apparently, they are a better 4A team than 3A team BTW.

That would be a list that only includes a cheating Michigan team and Oregon right now. Penn St hasn't won since 2016 and since joining the conference has won a total of eight games against the Buckeyes. Not sure they belong in the same conference as the Buckeyes.
