    Phillip Daniels already linked to Ohio State, tampering?

    NCAA should go back to the old rules on transfer - show some spine, tamp down the anarchy and bad faith.

    Duke's Mayo Bowl Predictions

    I agree - VT is 6-6 but had close losses to very good opponents. I think the game will be competitive, and in a big downtown stadium, and if it's not raining the temp may be moderate (52 average daytime high, 32 night at this time of year), plus Charlotte has a lot to offer in restaurants...

    Gophers in Mayo Bowl vs Va Tech!!

    Not only that, but Charlotte is more hospitable, weather-wise, than NYC, and the Gophers are playing an opponent they are on par with.

    National early signing day

    Anarchy is not a system and NIL is unsustainable. Anarchy always leads to its opposite - regimentation. A restoration of order is inevitable. At present nothing matters but the Playoff. Fans will tire of that and demand regional divisions, recognizable loyalties, geographic limitations, local...

    Where does Minnesota's 2025 recruiting class rank all-time under P.J. Fleck?

    We need regional divisions for '25 and ever after. 18 teams swingin' in the wind won't do it.

    National early signing day

    Restore the old portal/transfer rules - that will go a long way toward ending anarchy and restoring loyalty and discipline. ADs and coaches should be able to get that done.

    Does Fleck get asked to interview for other coaching openings ?

    I think Fleck is third in tenure in the B10 and he should embrace that and make it clear unless the AD spot goes with it, he won't leave for another coaching job - and that offer isn't likely. He's hitting just above 60% and doesn't have the pushovers Mason had every year - hence the best...

    Iowa loses top running back

    Without a runner, they'll have no offense whatsoever.

    Purdue Fires Ryan Walters

    Coaches used to have five years - I remember when it was a shock when a coach was fired for less than five years. Two years is ridiculous and totally unfair - even Barry Alvarez opened his long tenure at Wisconsin with three losing seasons.

    College Football OT Rules

    Nothing wrong with ties - a normal part of the game for over a century. Reserve overtime for championships and bowl games and dump the present overtime system.

    Minnesota Vs. Wisconsin 2024 - Media Predictions

    Simple: home game for Badgers; they need 6th win for bowl; they will want to bounce back from Nebraska loss.

    Nebraska is back...

    The Nebs are doing okay with a second year coach and should beat Wisconsin to finally break the bowl drought. But the Nebraska lesson is that you can't keep cycling coaches. The folly started by firing a coach with a 9-3 season and an overall record at the school of 58-19: Frank Solich who had...

    Does Fleck need to fire OC Harbaugh?

    Nebraska just fired its OC because of play-calling that needed to be improved RIGHT NOW, so they can make a bowl. PJ should let Simon call the final games, even if that's all that is involved.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Lose Disappointing Game at Rutgers

    I didn't expect a victory because Kali would be all out to beat his former teammates and it was a home game for Rutgers, plus Rutgers is good at running (even without their best) and on stopping the run. Ciano knows PJ well and knows how to prepare for him, and the Gophers were on a roll, hence...

    Pros and Cons with the new playoff system

    Good points. I would prefer an eight-team playoff with no automatic bids to conference winners. Just go with the final poll. This is also too much of a 'second season" for me.
