What I probably should have said, revising a bit, is that KOC didn't want Brosmer to get hurt ... because he didn't want to be forced to then have to put McCarthy in the game. Obviously I have no proof (unless it has more or less come out since the game), but I would not be surprised if the...

The only bad games were against the Falcons and Chargers. Every other game was close and winnable.

Well ... other than the game tomorrow between the Ravens and Dolphins (not sure how that comes into the picture), now and Halloween are pretty much the same thing :)

But there is a chance all four NFC North teams make the playoff :eek:

NFL = National Fake-you-out League They (league execs) love nothing more than an upset. It makes the best regular season in professional sports ... the best regular season in professional sports. It keeps people glued to the TV, and caring. The more people care, the higher the TV ratings, the...

I don't recall who it was who said it after the Ohio State game, but the exact same sentiment applies to the Iowa game: burn the film. Move on. Beat Mich St and Wisc at home. Try to win @ NW. Go to the Music City Bowl. Win it. 9-4

Obviously it depends how you define quality. For programs like Minnesota, I don't see how every time the head football comes open you don't just go after the best young, energetic, and promising G5 candidate you can get. Kill pulled us out of the Brewster dungeon. Fleck has elevated the floor...

Thought we had signed another QB a while ago? Maybe released him in some other move. Will Brosmer be the backup or will they sign someone else to do that and keep the undrafted rookie as 3rd?

You'd rather Brosmer then get smashed and injured too?

OK, but as soon as it's a player from a state outside the north central region of the country .... why would they come to Minnesota? When they have to drive/fly past 10-15 Big Ten/P4 schools to get here? It's a factor. Until/unless there is a draft, that evenly spreads out the top talent in...

Not that I need to tell you or anyone this, but Roseville has a lot of non-football playing minorities in its large enrollment. For better or worse, it's mostly whites, blacks, and pacific islanders that play American football. I don't know why the other ethnicities have no interest in the...

I'm bored with your posts. Literally every single game that the Vikings or Gophers lose, you just blather out that we're slow, that our receivers don't get open, and/or that our lines suck. You provide zero evidence. You provide zero reasoning. You act like the loss or that high-level stats...

There needs to be year round, pads off, training and "competition" somehow for football. 7-on-7 league, at least. Or even just year round training for quarterbacks and receivers. Maybe somehow do something for lineman too. Tough to have that level of contact all year. But how does hockey...

We're going to end up either 7-5 or 8-4, depending on the game at Wrigley. Obviously there are no guarantees in life but we should continue winning at home, where we've won all year, against Mich St and Wisconsin. We'll lose at Oregon. 8-4 gets us either the Las Vegas Bowl or the Music City...

What funding is needed to jump from NSIC to Summit League (low-major)? I'm honestly asking. I don't feel like it should be a massive jump. Also think Mankato recently announced an upgrade in athletic facilitiess? Other than travel, Pioneer League football might actually be cheaper to run than...

What would be the two teams you add, if we say that Notre Dame is off the table, and can only add Big 12 or ACC teams? I'd go Stanford and Arizona State. These would be my divisions: Wash / Ore / Stan / USC / UCLA AZ St / Neb / Minn / Wisc / Iowa Ill / NW / IU / Purdue / Ohio St Rutgers /...

Why, out of curiosity? I guess it would be one thing if the proposal would be for playing each of the 4 div teams home and home like in the NFL. If we went to a full on 12 game Big Ten schedule as the regular season, you still wouldn't even be able to play a full other division. But 13 would...

Lot of SEC schools are not in big media markets. End of the day, it's the TV viewership your conf games bring. SEC's games have huge viewership, so they can command huge $$$.

Augustana having a nice season. They looking to follow in St Thomas footsteps (Summit + NCHC) in the future?

I know you're not updating your original format to reflect the actual reality of the season as it unfolds. But short of bad injuries I don't see any way the last two home games are not in the "wins" section. Pretty incredible to think about winning every home game and losing every road game...
