    Having a star QB ......

    Give me any single one of Mason's QB's coupled with the rest of what PJ has had going since he's been here and we flat out have 2-4 BT West titles. Tanner had one good year. This kid looks mid major. Competence at the #1 position on the field is a must. Tanner Morgan was at least competent his...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    I can see that point of view. Maybe it is just the programs in the west are "programmed" to run their programs the way I talk about. I'd be fine watching prettier football, but I don't think schools like MN do great with it in the long run save for a random team here or there. Still I think...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    Take that whole group and please tell me which ones had offers to Michigan, OSU, Penn State or any other schools in the SEC and you will get your answer. He might have said that about his talent, but he has to. And just because he says it is his best, it still doesn't mean it's the best as...

    All Things D2 and D3 College Football 2023 Season Thread

    Hope they stay the same. There is a pretty good amount of former players, etc that grew up in that system there as assistants now. The whole athletic department and school administration at Bethel is a pretty tight nit group nowadays. I don't see them going anywhere as far as competing goes, but...

    All Things D2 and D3 College Football 2023 Season Thread

    No way. Here is what you don't get. If you are a starter on a D3 team, you were likely an all conference at worst, possibly all-state player. Now mix in 1-3 years of(ALL YEAR) strength, conditioning and coaching that is light years better than anything you received in high school. Maybe a top...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    LOL. Do we think between the football and Michigan State's basketball program that they have always been run clean? Hell, some of their former players have murdered guys, been part of fraud, different arrrests. Rape accusations by players still in the program, all kinds of things. You think...

    U safety Tyler Nubin was left off Jim Thorpe Award semifinalists list announced Tuesday.

    Doesn't matter. He looks like a late 1st or 2nd round pick to me. His bank account will get the last laugh.

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    Agreed, and that is why when I see fire PJ stuff or Iowa complaining or Wisc, I just shake my head. It is a 1:1,000,000 chance to get to say a college playoff at schools like this while the Helmets are like 1:15. There are realistically only 5-7 programs per year that ever have a chance at...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    OK, great you named a handful. Now compare that to the rosters at OSU, Mich, and PSU. Because the rest of the east is no better than the west. Yes, there are some that come here, but it is a tiny percentage when compared to the helmets. Also, even if they come to one of these types of schools...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    Do you really need an answer to this question? It has been for years and even worse now about money, skirting the rules, not having to do schoolwork, better chance to get drafted, etc. The kids that are highly talented in the Midwest get paid by the Midwest powers, or go to the south. Any...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    This trend has been forever. The top guys and for sure the top skill guys have always and still do go to OSU, Michigan, some to PSU and get paid. The best (or at least most experienced)OL, LB, TE, RB play in the West where they are top dogs on their respective teams. These guys are mostly...

    Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota at Iowa

    Iowa - 20 Gopher - 6 Boring. 2 terrible offenses trade interceptions but can never get the ball moving. Iowa's will let us have our 2-3 yard gains and wait for AK to make mistakes. Expect at least one defensive score by them or a big ST play.

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    Iowa's offense is bad, but here is the thing, they do what is needed to win games. Agree it would be a massive disappointment if we can't shut it down. That said you last statement rings the loudest to me, we need to sustain drives and can't turn it over. So far, anytime we have played a...

    Zach Evans = Freshman Big Ten player of the week

    Get some of these athletes in space if we can. There is zero reason when completely healthy you can't use some of these backs in the slot or find creative ways to get them the ball.

    Predict the Score Thread - Week 6: Michigan at Minnesota

    37-6 Michigan. Gophers will have multiple 3 and outs trying to play conservative thinking keeping Michigan's offense off the field will be the best way to win this game. If I were me I would spread it out and throw the ball all over. Get the ball to the backs in some open field with passes...

    Basketball fine, but a football team that goes 6-6 or heck even 5-7 or 4-8 makes more money and more people care than a Hockey team that wins the National title. Here is the deal with Hockey. No one cares. MN and ND care. That's it. Football drives everything and Men's BBall is second. This is...

    You have been. The athletic department and administration at the U are the ones that haven't.

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    Honestly, we are lucky he hasn't left yet. There is very little support for this program across the state IMO. MUCH more since he has been here than before he was. He has a tough row to hoe here. Minnesota, if you ask fans across the country, is looked at as a mid to poor football program.

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    Like I've said. It was ruined years ago. Go to final four. Kill your coach and program for helping them with their homework while watching the rest of the sweet 16 do the same thing.
