To me, the tale of Rhule's head coaching narrative is that at every college he's been at there has been a sharp upwards trajectory in the first three years. And then Temple he sustained that high level in year 4. We don't know how Nebraska will end up this year, of course. Huge game tonight...

Massive game tomorrow for Neb. Night game. In Lincoln. Top 25 USC. Rhule has it right in front of him tomorrow night. Let's see if it gets it done.

Also keep in mind that the OP is defining ranked wins as ranking at the time of playing each game. For example, in 2019 Texas ended the season ranked #25 in the nation. Baylor beat Texas that year. Shouldn't that count as a ranked win? In my book, I think that's fair. I'm not sure how anyone...

Let's say that Cignetti talked Cuban into bankrolling the IU roster. Let's say he even kicked in $5-10M of his own money, per year. That much is still a huge chunk of change ... so even that much I could see as too much for one guy, despite how rich he is. What did he get out of it? What was...

Certainly it is a backwards looking metric. I don't see how that defeats my point. You look back upon the 2024 season, at the end of it, and you can confidently conclude that Indiana only played two difficult games the whole season. They split those. Then were non-competitive in their one...

It's not my fault that you're misusing and probably don't know the correct definition of ho-hum. It means: ho-hum /ˌhōˈhəm/ exclamation exclamation: ho-hum used to express boredom or resignation. That's not 7-5. And that record would not be a "lower tier" bowl. Those are like the Detroit bowls.

49% 8-4 (win all three ... Oregon is foregone conclusion) 49% 7-5 (lose @ NW) 0.99% 6-6 (lose @ NW and one of the home games) 0.01% 57 (lose all three) :)

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...
