That's correct; I see you didn't, but diefirma did credit A&M's undefeated season and a 30-point comeback to TT. That is the post I was replying to. I assumed since you responded to my comment on diefirma's post, you were the original poster /diefirma. My comment was directed at that post...

I am not sure what you mean by "completely made up". You are going to have to explain this, because it seems clear that On3 collects their data from third parties. Which means they don't make it up. It seems like you want "auditied data," but that doesn't exist, and it also doesn't mean the...

Texas A&M is undefeated and came back from a 30 pt deficit yesterday, not Texas tech. Some of the other claims you made about TT are actually A&M as well. But your point is still valid.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t fully appreciate your point. I tend to agree and am disappointed with the relative apathy of our fanbase in this regard.

Indiana is an anomaly. Anomalies will happen. Think of it like MLB, the highest payroll teams win a disproportionate number of championships. The top 20% payrolls have won 80% of the World Series over the last 20 years. But there are those teams that are in the lower 80% payrolls that win a...

Yeah, good point. It’s not that the twin cities doesn’t have more money than Tuscaloosa, it is does the fan base value a championship program as much

I don’t think anyone thinks NIL is going down. What will be scrutinized is revenue sharing, the money that the school pays the athletes. The money paid by endorsements, collectives, and Alumni won’t change at all.

Ferentz is an exceptional coach, he is the longest tenure in the B1G. So if your argument he is better than PJ, I think most would say you are making a strong argument. However you’re not saying that, you’re saying because Ferentz is better than PJ, we know we can do better than PJ. And the...

That is correct. The numbers thrown out for this year for Oregon is around $30MM, and it’s all from collectives and alumni. Note this years totals are before any university revenue sharing. Revenue sharing between Oregon and University of Minnesota will be close to equivalent, but their...

You are confusing Texas Tech with Texas A&M, but your point is valid.

Criticizing PJ for his performance against Iowa, and Cal are legitimate criticisms, that’s apples to apples, but don’t forget Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan State. Need to look at his record across all. Unless your argument is PJ isn’t as good as Frentz. But that’s not the same argument as when...

Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan (probably), Georgia, USC, Oregon. These schools because they have NIL budgets around $30MM / year. Texas actually has about the same budget as OhSt ($35MM), they put a lot of eggs in the Arch Manning basket. Revenue sharing will be interesting. It will show up next...

Honestly, I am fine with moral victory talk when we play a team with a payroll advantage of $30MM / year. OhSt is the finest team money can buy. This game was decided well in advance of kick off with the NIL funds, nothing PJ could do short of hoping for OhSt to self destruct. Gophers played...

I was at that game. Lots of fun. Well for me, I was visiting my son who attended Purdue. Not so much fun for him.

For the record, Cignetti hasn't beaten OhSt either. He also lost to ND. The only top 10 NIL team they beat was Michigan last year, but we almost did too. That is due to Michigan significantly underperforming in comparison to its talent level. Incompetence can ruin a top $ roster. Just look at...

Ok, well then let’s not blame it on PJ (not sure that you did, but many here have). So what’s interesting about that whole Supreme Court rulling, I hate what it has done to college football, yet I like the rulling. Basically it was all around the Sherman anti-trust act, which broke up...

This is true. However, Cleveland and Cincinnati do have pro teams that take most of the attention and $ from fans in those cities, but still the Buckeyes are definitely a state wide brand. But I am still optimistic, by comparison we are a much more thriving economy than Tuscaloosa and the...

The economy of the twin cities is bigger than Columbus, but the Gopher’s fan base isn’t as large. I think we could be like OhSt if the Twin Cities got behind the Gophers like Columbus get’s behind the Buckeyes, but we are far from that.

1st, Texas has a ton more talent than we have, they also spent $35MM on there roster. They just put all the eggs in the Arch Manning basket and he didn’t pan out. Plus the coach is likely to get fired for incompetence since he has a 35MM roster and two losses. 2nd, comparing point spreads is...
