Kirk was watching too much of NFL kickers this season? What was he thinking? I don’t think they use special kicking balls in NCAA like in NFL do they?

Come on now, Indiana (just like Minnesota and plenty of other schools) have had seasons with lighter schedules since the beginning of time and yet 99% of those coaches don’t go 11-1 in their first season and 17-2 so far with the only losses to top 5 teams and 2 top 10 (OK one real top 10) wins...

I don’t get it. He hasn’t lit the world on fire in recruiting or results after 2.5 years at Nebraska. Yes Nebby was a dumpster fire for a good 10 years, but should have been a faster rebuild than Indiana (Indiana is a new build and not just a rebuild). It’s true that his rebuild records show...

Luxury as in, probably way more expensive than the dorms and private rooms. As in, any of us older than Gen Z would have called them luxury in our college days.

No. At least that’s not what sparked the success last season. Cignetti brought a bunch of players and staff from JMU and other places not necessarily with high NIL$. The first season, success was on him. They upped the ante to retain him and boost their recruiting, and Mark Cuban gave a big...

It’s the sequence of how they lost the Oregon OT game with a bad play call, which would’ve put them in the drivers seat for a great playoff seed, then being absolute trash against a really bad (aside from Iamaleva) lame duck UCLA team. I do think there’s evidence over 10+ years that Franklin...

I didn’t mean stealing as in underdog situation. Objectively I don’t know how you say “better team for the majority of the game” when Rutgers only trailed for 7 total minutes of game time, had 4x the rushing yards, more total yards, first downs, TOP… it was a toss up win the Gophers certainly...

Stealing the win vs Rutgers could be a big difference maker in a good vs OK or disappointing final win total.

Good. Neither should be ranked right now the way they’re trending. Indiana is too high at 7 based on who they’ve (not) played, but the media are happy to set up a higher ranked matchup with Oregon. That should be a fun game.

The NFC/AFC Championship is by definition the top 4 in the NFL. Being 1 game from the B1G championship game (which was second place in the old West) is at best being top 4 in the B1G (and often not since there were often 2-3 teams in the East ranked higher than the West champ).

You’re comparing pro teams to kids who are ostensibly supposed to be college students going to class and doing homework.

Did the PAC fold mainly because the time zone difference reduced their TV visibility and viewership? They had some bigtime schools between football and basketball, not to mention non rev sports, and academic powerhouses Stanford and Cal. They really should’ve found a way to keep it between...

The shallow open bowl of the Big House doesn’t contain the sound as well. OSU and PSU seem to be the most conducive structures to contain the sound, on top of their high capacities.

No doubt - I hope the players are traveling in style and gourmet-fed for the beatings they're taking in the name of guaranteed payouts.

It would have been a worse transfer exodus most likely. Fleck’s whole program building philosophy at that time was built on the premise of selling kids on a mission/vision when there was no (legal) $ compensation to compete against. Your hypothetical seems to assume that no one else back then...

A preseason poll with Illinois and Indiana inside the top 20, 99% of laypeople would guess it’s a basketball ranking.

Seriously? I don’t think Jer is remotely in the same neighborhood of net worth as Belichick.

Or “The U ✋🏼🤚🏼” and “the U Betcha.”

Everyone outside Minnesota will interpret your post about “the U” the other way!

Duke lost QB Maalik Murphy which is a big hit. Doesn’t explain their defense though, must be a lot of attrition.
