    Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell will return to coach the Badgers in 2026

    Agreed. My understanding is this is all out in the open, now. They call it NIL Go or some thing like that. But you're right, we'l still have to see

    Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell will return to coach the Badgers in 2026

    A rich guy can't just go out and "legally" buy a roster, anymore. All the NIL deals are being screened by a clearinghouse, to make sure they're actual, real deals, where the athletes have to actually do stuff and can only get paid a market rate for their time.

    You were talking about Mullens being a backup for the Vikings. That was his 6th-8th year in the league. Yes, Max is older because he had a covid year at New Hampshire. If JJM goes out for the season vs Balt, yes Max finishes the game. But then you seriously consider Wolford and you also look...

    If we're being true to ourselves, and talking about our mindset before last weekend: which of these games would you have said was more difficult than @ Detroit? None of them. We just won, the hardest game. Now obviously, we aren't going to now go undefeated through all these. Of course...

    Heard on KFAN, think this morning, that any Ravens game the past almost 30 years is an incredible predictor: win it, and you go to the NFC championship lose it, and your coach gets fired that year (or that offseason)

    He wasn't a rookie those years? I'm talking about 2025. This season ... where we just proved that this team can still do something major.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Changing your mind about everyone fires any coach that has hazing, isn't important. What matters is if you think Fitz should have been fired simply because hazing occurred. And then the legal point is if such a thing rises up to a "for cause", if it was provable that he didn't know about it...

    I love the Jackson pick. Think he will be great for us for years. That said ... feels like a third of the plays in this highlight video are nothing more than him getting out of his stance ... and no one rushing him. Such a weird thing to include in a highlight tape.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    I will claim that many exist, but none of those had stories published about them. I'm fine leaving it at that. Would I change your mind, any way, even if I disproved the "Every single AD.." claim? I don't think that would change your mind that NW was in the right and that they correctly fired...

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    How would I be able to do a Google search for all of the cases where the coach and the AD discussed the circumstances, allegations, and evidence that existed, and simply decided to not do anything? Such cases would not have anything published about them to find. Usually the ones that get...

    This is a wild take. I get that you're being a Gopher homer on a Gopher site, which is not only allowed but encouraged. But it's not going to be something taken as real, anywhere else in the country. He's an undrafted rookie.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Bold seems like a wild claim. Do you have anything to back up? Or are you saying it as a thing of what you hope would happen. But does it actually?

    Colorado is in some ways a lot like Minnesota. Major research university and state flagship located in the state's largest media market. Similar sized states and largest markets, which both have all of the four major pro sports. CU football glory years were more in the late 80's to mid 90's I...

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Since some of the same talking points are just being repeated, I might as well repeat mine: My wild guess is they had to allege something significantly more serious than just that hazing happened, in order to claim firing for cause. Secret hazing happening where no coach can possibly be...

    We are not good

    Iowa is 4-1 and Washington is 3-2. Iowa has slightly better wins, in my opinion, and their only loss was close to Indiana while Washington was not competitive with Ohio State and Mich. I don't think they're the same.

    Chicago should have lost. Bengals Bungled. Defense gets huge credit today, but McCarthy definitely gets some flowers. Easily the best he has played as a Viking. Prior to this there was very little evidence that he had potential to be a good player for us.
