    Fleck Postgame: “Everything that possibly could go wrong, went wrong. That falls on the head football coach”

    With our luck he will transfer to Mississippi State and we'll see him the next two years.

    According to this site, the buyout for the end of this season actually went up to $44M with the new contract extension he signed this year. Fickell contract

    Week 3 Other Games Thread

    Kent State, a 23 1/2-point underdog at home to Buffalo and on a 23 game losing streak against FBS teams and a 16 game conference losing streak just scored to take the lead with 2:30 left. Game is on CBS Sports Network.

    Do you have a source for this figure? Lots of reporting that the buyout was over $40M as of the end of last season. His initial contract, I think, guaranteed 80% of the remaining amount. I would think that if the buyout was reduced from something like 80% to 20% it would be newsworthy, but I...

    What are the chances we see Darius Taylor play on Saturday vs Cal - your guess

    I think it's close to 0%. Non-conference game, before a bye and just a week after tweaking the hamstring means to me that he ain't playing. Been watching Fleck coach this team for a long time now. When he says "we got good news" that just means that it's better than it could have been, not...

    Game 2 Uniforms?

    That's a road kit. Guessing we'll see it at Ohio State.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    There is certainly some risk in hiring him, but he has a winning record and two division titles at Northwestern. I am not saying I'd hire him, but I will be surprised if somebody doesn't.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Seems like a good fit both in terms of the way he wants to run a program and as a place where being associated with hazing allegations wouldn't tank his prospects for getting the job.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    His agent has said that Fitz wants to get back into collegiate coaching. I imagine that his name will come up nearly every time a coach is let go. Curious to see who will pull the trigger and actually hire him.

    SEC’s Going to 9-game schedule, Will feature 3 contests vs. annual rivals: Here’s how it will work

    Mississippi State doesn't have another P4 game on its schedule for '26 and '27, so likely those games will still be played. (Yea!) Alabama has Arizona scheduled for '32 and '33. Those games might be in danger of being cancelled or re-scheduled. (Boo!)

    All Things Minnesota at Oregon Road Game Thread

    Tickets through the U will mostly be in sections 35-36 if history is any guide.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Maybe, but I'd guess that he's also been advised that he is unlikely to receive serious interest from any major college football programs (or TV gigs) until this is all behind him. Seems most or all of the player suits have been resolved, so now that he's resolved his claims, I'd expect that...

    Kiddos at the game

    The answer is Northwestern State. Early in the year, 11:00am start, likely to be decent weather, small crowd, cheap tickets and non-suspenseful game. Biggest tip is to acknowledge that you are doing this for you, not your child since he won't remember it. Not saying that to be negative, I did...

    Gophers vs Buffalo (Viewing in Manhattan)

    Good luck! As someone who finds himself in that area a few times a year I'd appreciate it if you would report back on your experience. Always nice to know your options.

    Big Ten football officials this season received an increase in pay to $5,500 a game.

    It seems to me that in the old days they would some times talk about that information on the telecasts. "The Side Judge today, Joe Brogan, is a corrections officer for the State of Florida. Wonder how many of these Georgia Bulldogs will be seeing him again someday." Now that it's become a...

    Gophers/Huskers vs. Sir Paul

    Tough choice. Pay good money to see the decrepit shell of a former legend 35 years past primary relevance or go to US Bank Stadium to see Paul McCartney.
