    We are not good

    Probably true on Daniels, but the other guys would have provided some level on continuity. The fact we have three starters who transferred in shows up as the O-line has been terrible.

    We are not good

    It was going to be a transition year given the turnover in personnel, but it has been disappointing.

    If that's not targeting against Dinkins, they might as well get rid of the rule.

    Matt Rhule's new buyout is $71MM! Dude is 0-18 vs ranked opponents at Baylor and Nebraska

    I think you are melding two issues. I don't have a problem with anyone being paid what they are deemed to be worth. We can get into value arguments about whether a college football coach should have a buy-out of the size where money could be used for a different purpose, but the market is what...

    Matt Rhule's new buyout is $71MM! Dude is 0-18 vs ranked opponents at Baylor and Nebraska

    I'm thinking 5 years. The changes have been so rapid. It''s the Johnstown Flood of money fueled by an audience that can't seem to get enough sports. College football has always been the ready-made feeder system for the pro game, but with the massive amounts going into NIL and the ability of...

    Scoggins/Kill Article

    Huh? I just beg to differ. Fleck inherited some decent guys (and has been pointed out those player can just as well be attributed to Claeys as Kill), the most notable one being Winfield, Jr. The commentator on Saturday's loss pointed out that there are only nine schools that have had a player...

    Scoggins/Kill Article

    Can't prove the negative, but I wonder if Tyler Johnson is drawing an NFL paycheck had Claeys remained in charge. Difficult to tell as Jay Johnson was a different breed than Matt Limegrover so we don't know how the passing game would have worked had the Claeys' regime remained in place.

    Scoggins/Kill Article

    Agree and a lot of people just drive past this point. Claeys was in on Jordan Ta'amu, but he committed to Ole Miss and they turned to JC transfer Neil McLaurin who never played a snap. That left the Gophers with Demry Croft and Connor Rhoda as the only guys with experience in Fleck's first...

    Tom Izzo sounds off on NCAA after Louisville signs ex-G Leaguer

    Izzo comes off as really self-righteous here. Kind of like Saban as he was leaving Alabama. All of this is just the logical progression of where sport in general has been heading over the past half decade (which I don't like). When Diego Pavia won his lawsuit, it just sped up the...

    Lemeke Brockington is our guy

    I think Smith has a ton of potential as a deep threat, but I agree that we are missing a stronger guy who can win the 50/50s. Rashod Bateman was a better WR than Tyler Johnson, but Johnson always seemed to come up big in key moments. I don't know if we will ever have a tandem like that again...

    Lemeke Brockington is our guy

    Brockington and Smith have really been the only bright lights in the WR corps. If Fleck plans on elevating Lindsey's game, he's going to need to beef up the wide-out contingent.

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    A really bad match. I don't think he's a terrible coach but those programs in the SEC with high expectations every year (deluded or not) are year-round pressure cookers and every move you make is dissected over and over and over and over . . .

    Coaches fired and or on hotseat

    It's even worse than the pros because teams can't veto a player's move due to a multi-year deal.

    Post Game Thread: Hawkeyes Humiliate Gophers

    It's something I've noticed over the years and I will admit it doesn't necessarily translate to the bottom line in terms of performance, but Iowa is just so much more "sudden" to the ball than the Gophers under Fleck. We were a little more aggressive under Kill, but it didn't make a lot of...

    Post Game Thread: Hawkeyes Humiliate Gophers

    It was going to be a transition year for sure, but it seems like a year when the foundation seems to be teetering. I posted earlier that there just shouldn't be a season when there is this much turnover on the O-line and expect to succeed on a consistent basis.
