Choking away a lead to a bad Wisconsin team at home, on senior night, to keep Wisconsin’s (undeserved) bracket hopes alive is just a perfect ending. Ben: Nothing against you, but you’re not up for this. U Admin: F*ck you.

What did juco grads do to deserve that insult?

I need something light hearted. Maybe catch up on Ted Lasso or something. Unrelated, but nothing makes me more irrationally angry than seeing Wisconsin gear in the student section.

Stupid turnovers don’t help.

Oh now elbows are fouls, huh. What a bit*ch.

That was an atrocious shot choice by Carrington the previous set.

Lol what a joke. Throw 10 elbows on the post and then get an And 1?

Would be a shame if this year’s Cinderella team just happened to meet up with Bama in the first round.

Any person who isn’t already wealthy would be stupid to turn down the job. If someone gave me a multi-million-dollar contract to direct movies, I’d do it. So what if I suck and get fired? Some fans and my employer get mad, and I have to deal with short-term discomfort and embarrassment...

Stop being so harsh on Ben. He’s clearly tanking for Wemby.

I’ve always found this argument interesting. Are there examples of other D1 programs in major cities that don’t struggle with NIL stuff? If so, what’s unique to Minnesota’s situation? Is it the administration, apathy in the fanbase/locally, lack of rich alums who care about college sports, a...

The Gophers (hell, Minnesota sports in general) may be cursed but this is not one of the examples. Hire a super unqualified coach. Unqualified coach is out of his depth and the program becomes historically bad. Top players say “no thanks.” This is a pretty clear A to B, cause-and-effect line.

I usually feel some animosity toward a good recruit who backs out (probably shouldn’t). But here I don’t hold anything against him. Just a smart, practical, and obvious choice. I would’ve done the same. I mean, I had free, good seats to see the Gophers play in Lincoln on Saturday. I gave them...

Well, at least this gives me a reason to hate Bama aside from pure envy.

Trying to rank the Big West teams like this is a fool’s errand at this point. It’s some mix of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, maybe Illinois, and then the others.

I’m with everyone else who thinks this transfer craziness is bad for CFB. Especially combined with NIL stuff, crazy coaching salaries, bowl opt-outs, and the erosion of geographic/cultural identities that come with conference realignment. I definitely think players should be able to cash in...

There are some…questionable takes on that list. Troy/UTSA at 8? Duke/UCF at 14? Arkansas (6-6)/Kansas (6-6) ten spots ahead of us? Also BYU/SMU and South Alabama/Western KY ahead of us? I get Syracuse/Minnesota in in a cold baseball stadium isn’t a sexy matchup but sheesh.

Like 85% the location/venue. Also partly that we’ve played Cuse before, so there’s no newness angle. And, to be frank, we would’ve preferred a “helmet” or SEC school for the bragging rights (if we win). But on that last point, I’m sure Cuse fans would say the same about Minnesota.

Nashville and Charlotte are the farthest north bowl games should be played (east or the Rockies anyway). You can get relatively warm and sunny winter days there, but getting something like 48 and partly cloudy is much more realistic. Not bad football weather for us B1G people, but not exactly a...

Some funny comments in there. Unsurprisingly, many of them have an inflated view of their own resume. Yeah, ours kinda sucks. But their best accomplishments are a win over Purdue, a win over NC State, and a close loss to Clemson. Doesn’t exactly strike fear in the hearts of anyone. In any case...
