I did get my Master's Degree from the U and did play on a co-rec team that won the intramural softball championship in 1984.

Everyone needs to read Reinhold Niebuhr on the subject. Sex is part of who we are. It doesn't mean we should all run around naked and be absolute libertines, but the hand-wringing gets to be a bit much.

I'm not ripping BYU. They have rules and Retzlaff (thanks for the correction Gopher Pete) broke them and has the face the music. I am tweaking Retzlaff's reaction and the jokes write themselves. One could say that he was only trying to fill his missionary obligation.

Ratzlaff is withdrawing from BYU after BYU did not allow him to enter the portal. Quote from the article: "After a lot of prayer, reflection, and conversations with those I trust, I've made the difficult decision to officially withdraw and step away from the BYU football program," Retzlaff...

I don't know if it's actual bias, but somehow Nebraska still gets "Helmet School Points." Wisconsin isn't a helmet school, but they had a great run under Alvarez and there's still some hangover there. Still have to play the games, so we'll see how it ends up. I think Rhule is a good coach and...

It's an uncomfortable new reality and we can now all see that the agreement passed a couple of months ago on revenue sharing (or whatever it was) isn't going to mean squat when it comes to NIL, which will continue on its merry way. It is what it is and I'm not going to gripe about it, but it...

Funny thing about the Childress hire is that he was slated to interview in Green Bay for their head coaching job the next day and rather than let that happen, the Vikings made him an offer that he took on the spot. Packers end up hiring Mike McCarthy, who while certainly no genius worked pretty...

Correct. I took the headline off the net but messed up the paraphrasing.

We know he's a blue collar player.

Jake Ratzlaff has been charged with sexual assault and is facing a 7-game suspension at BYU for the upcoming season. Reports are he is moving on. BYU QB Jake Retzlaff reportedly transferring in wake of honor code suspension stemming from sexual assault allegation

I think his passes would just sail away.

I agree. I'm no great basketball mind, but I think Battle is better suited for the NBA game with his shooting range and he looks to be a bit more mobile on offense and can set up quickly either off the dribble or off a screen with his shot. Key for Garcia will be what he can do on defense. He...

Better than mit Kraut (where's the umlaut when you need one).

This is small potatoes compared to a lot of the other Federal court injunctions with national reach, but the Supreme Court's decision yesterday would seem to invalidate whatever the NJ Federal judge ruled.

I'm spitballing (which I often do), but for all of the contacts Brewster had developed as an assistant, he never came from what I would call a "coaching tree." He just seemed to assemble a staff like a drunk going through a grocery store and just throwing things in his cart. He had moved...

My guess is there's a conversation about how the player envisions his future and the coaching staff talking in vague terms about how they see the player, as in, "Once you get into our training program where we can get a better assessment as to where you might best be used, we'll talk to you...

I think it took awhile for Fleck to really build up the in-state connections, but he appears a bridge has been crossed and we'll be in the hunt for the best in-state players going forward. I know that a lot of the high school coaching contingent really loved (and I mean LOVED) Jerry Kill and...

Thanks. Did not know that. It's often difficult to figure out how decisions are made regarding some players. Obviously in Watt's case, DL was where he should have been. Of course, he got a lot bigger between high school and when he got to Wisconsin.

So true. Sometimes it worked (Barber, Spaeth) and sometimes it didn't (Alex Daniels). It's always important to remember that JJ Watt was being recruited as a TE when he committed to the Gophers (de-committed after Mason was fired). Watt should probably send Bruininks and Maturi a thank-you note.

No Brendan Kelly either. He wouldn't be on the first team, but he seemed to warrant honorable mention.
