I think the loss was to a more skilled team. My point was that I think it's easier to recruit top kids to a college town where they are adored by the fans who are not distracted or diluted by an excess of pro sports attractions. i.e. in college towns, the players are on page one while in the...

They didn't want to come well before the influence of NIL. The decline began in the 60s.

I was referencing decades of results. But thanks for pointing that out.

Sounds like those matters have contributed to the low interest in winning sports. Those are recent, however, at least to a codger like me. I see the sinking of Gopher FB as having begun in the 60s.

All true. But why does the U not really care about winning? At least since the 60s.

Iowa has more talent.

He already has turned it around

While I like the all white, it's not one of our colors.

Sixth isn't bad in the SEC.

A fair glimpse at the Gopher program at this point of the season.

Iowa seems to recruit and sign area kids. I admire that. Also, they play a style of ball I like. I hope we beat them, but I do think they run a nice program.
