    B1G Commissioner Floats Expanded Playoff Idea to 28 Teams!

    Of course they do. They can choose to not take the job they are being paid for.

    Gophers open as 16.5 point favorites over Buffalo, with a 45.5 o/u.

    I think we'll cover and win by 20+. Granted that all depends on QB1 and where he's at. We'll know pretty quick.

    What happened to the concept of a Non-Qualifier?

    Anyone remember, back in the day, we'd recruit these kids, we'd sweat out signing day to find out if they could get a C- and qualify? We lost lots of kids to not qualifying, had lots of discussions about whether we had harder or easier entrance requirements then Wisconsin. Saw kids that we...

    Offense 79th, Defense 9th

    To be fair, Iowa has had plenty of 8-10 win seasons with little to no offense. So it can be done. Our offense will never rank high with Fleck playing conservative ball to give the defense breathers. We're not going to have many (any?) drives that are under a minute this year that don't end in...

    P.J. Fleck gets a new contract extension—pending approval from Board of Regents—keeping him under contract until 2030.

    We're Minnesota fans. He could stay another 30 years and we'd think the next year is probably the last...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I was thinking how fun it will be when we win in Eugene. 11-1 sounds good to me.

    Paul Finebaum: What's a loss from your favorite sports team you still can't get over?

    There was a game I was at in the mid 80s were we were up something like 35-7 over Ohio State and choked it all away in the second half. Just went from dominating to playing like total crap. But the Michigan game on Halloween, where I looked at my wife and said we're going to win this game...

    She was coaching basketball when I went to school there 35 years ago. So had been around a long time. It was coming soon either way.

    Urban Meyer's bold claim is correct, Big Ten has passed SEC as top-dog conference in college football

    Not the way he throws to the other team. Can't win in big games despite all the talent he could want around him. That said, I could see the Browns taking him. Or the Jets.

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    There will be interest in Fleck if makes the CF Playoff, but I can't see him leaving unless its for a top blueblood. And he understands very well that if he stays here for 20 more years, he'll end with a statue outside the stadium. He was there to be taken several times already, but never...

    NIL and the NBA Draft

    Don't forget, the NBA puts you on a rookie contract. So you can't make the BIG money until you get through those years. So there is still incentive to get to the NBA as quickly as you can.

    Dawson Garcia returning

    Then he's gone for sure. That confirms it.
