Bold: really is quite a massive thing. Many Gopher games are on BTN each year. What was it before that? Were they on something like 45TV or Fox Sports North? Or they just didn't have most games on (cable) TV each year?

OK, so I nailed it right on the head. Therefore, the Wentz thing was massively overblown. Probably won't even be any complaint from the NFLPA. We can put this behind us and set down the fire and brimstone. Nothing unethical happened. Only way Brosmer sees field now is if McCarthy gets hurt...

I buy that all day. What makes absolutely no sense to me, is why all these rich guys who love IU football ..... only just decided to load into the program in 2024. What the hell have they been waiting for ... all these decades??? In another thread I proposed the same, and another posted...

Matt Campbell at Iowa State is another that comes to mind.

I've acknowledged multiple times that he has done a great job of winning all the games that they were supposed to win. Which is every single game other than Mich, OSU in 2024 and Iowa, Oregon in 2025. Four games out of 24 .... that's not that impressive to me. When so far they haven't won a...

It's two different things being argued, as if they are the same. I agree with the other poster, and I don't think it's disputable at all, that hockey in Minnesota "takes away" some athletes who otherwise could have/would have been DI football players, and maybe stayed to play for the U. A...

We beat Purdue, Rutgers, and demolished Nebraska at home. We're going 5-0 at home. The only possibly caveat is injuries.

You're entitled to your opinion, obviously. Mine is: 8-4 + Vegas/Music City is Good. 7-5 + Pinstripe-type bowl is OK 6-6 + Detroit-type bowl is Ho-hum I think mine is better and fairer than yours, but obviously it's just opinions

A win's a win, and a loss's a loss. I don't care about scores. Each week is independent from every other week.

This whole Cignetti thing has shook people up. The dirty secret is that Cignetti hasn't done jack S at IU. Again (commenting from a previous thread), I do agree that it is a great thing that he has won all the game he was supposed to win. That is something. I don't care in the slightest about...

My point had nothing to do with MN HS hockey. It was responding only to "Just recruit and sign the best player available for the position...doesn't have to be from MN."

It all comes down to the @ NW game. We'll win at home against Mich State and Wisc. You can go ahead and book those. Losing @ NW by 1 point and having that 1 point be a massive step change from "solid season" to "ho hum", is neither reasonable or fair on your part.

Iowa lost to Indiana, the #2 ranked team in the country, by a score of 15-20 (should have really been 13-20, but IU purposefully took a safety to take time off). Maybe you're not giving Iowa fair credit? Their other loss was early to Iowa State, a rivalry game where anything can happen. Cal...

What I probably should have said, revising a bit, is that KOC didn't want Brosmer to get hurt ... because he didn't want to be forced to then have to put McCarthy in the game. Obviously I have no proof (unless it has more or less come out since the game), but I would not be surprised if the...

The only bad games were against the Falcons and Chargers. Every other game was close and winnable.

Well ... other than the game tomorrow between the Ravens and Dolphins (not sure how that comes into the picture), now and Halloween are pretty much the same thing :)

But there is a chance all four NFC North teams make the playoff :eek:

NFL = National Fake-you-out League They (league execs) love nothing more than an upset. It makes the best regular season in professional sports ... the best regular season in professional sports. It keeps people glued to the TV, and caring. The more people care, the higher the TV ratings, the...

I don't recall who it was who said it after the Ohio State game, but the exact same sentiment applies to the Iowa game: burn the film. Move on. Beat Mich St and Wisc at home. Try to win @ NW. Go to the Music City Bowl. Win it. 9-4

Obviously it depends how you define quality. For programs like Minnesota, I don't see how every time the head football comes open you don't just go after the best young, energetic, and promising G5 candidate you can get. Kill pulled us out of the Brewster dungeon. Fleck has elevated the floor...
