    Down goes Iowa. Couldn’t happen to nicer fans.

    Still using Grok. Total garbage. His contract guarantees 85% of remaining compensation which will be somewhere north of $30M depending on if they pull the trigger this year or next.

    If only MN had NIL money to land a 5 star QB.

    Post Game Thread: Oregon Fumbles TD, Blows Out Gophers

    The lengths people will go to argue Cignett isn’t that great but then threaten 40 years in the wilderness if PJ were ever let go is pretty astonishing. Not sure same people are saying these things but remarkable all the same. Even Saban had some not so great years so the boo birds will...

    Post Game Thread: Oregon Fumbles TD, Blows Out Gophers

    Iowa’s NIL fund the Swarm is public record, paltry and comparable to MN I’d guess although nobody knows that outside a few insiders. Do they have a mega donor doing private deals? I don’t know. Who knows what’s going on in those corn fields. Probably some wierd stuff. In summary my...

    Shall Chernoff/PJ/Coyle brain trust allocate all revenue sharing dollars to the O line? How would you break that out.

    I disagree NIL is the solution, although it can help.

    Post Game Thread: Oregon Fumbles TD, Blows Out Gophers

    Ducks running into and bouncing off gaggles of Gophers on multiple occasions is what really sticks with me this AM. Receivers running in green grass. Ridiculous tackling effort. Still a big fan of Lindsey and a healthy Darius but this offense has issues. Ultimately the product on the field...

    If the blue bloods left for a "super league", who would be hurt more, them or the also-rans like us?

    With all due respect the NFL is far and away the most popular league, for reasons. Despite parity, multiple mediocre seasons, losing seasons there is always hope for next year based on draft, trades, free agency. I could go into conspiracy-land on engineered officiating meant to keep NFL games...

    NIL would be better directed towards officiating crews. Maybe Phil promised this crew a tour of the Joe Paterno building.

    Some said Oregon might not be that good. I guess we can put that to bed.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON PRIME TIME UNDER THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Despite the record this team is b.a.d. bad versus the top tier FBS. Luckily we played some teams a little worse. Burns has said MN will absolutely not entertain the idea of paying a 25M guaranteed salary so PJ is a lifer unless he decides to spend more time with his family. Given that reality...

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    I’d guess there is a barge load of fat on the department P&L. Coyle and his contemporaries have never had to make any hard decisions beyond how to spend all the excess revenue and hit up donors for even more. Money-losing sports do not need to have coaches (with no other comparable salary...

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    I wholeheartedly agree with your post but Pettiti (and others in decision-making positions) won’t garner a megabuck payday if the deal doesn’t go through.

    Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

    “According to reports, Michigan believes that the deal is essentially an unnecessary "payday loan" that would bail certain schools out for poorly managing their finances.” Various leaks have indicated the PE scheme is intended to prevent OSU, Michigan, USC, PSU from buying out their Big Ten...

    Ducks Game Weather

    I was going to say November weather in PNW west of the Cascades = 100% chance of rain but looking at your helpful graphic it may just be more of a wet balls situation.

    Indiana v Penn State, and Gus Johnson's voice!!

    I have been a Johnson critic (announcer) but yep, that was funny in no small part due to the insane tension leading up to it.

    Wait a second…I had to turn the game off due to another issue I had to deal with, with about 1:30 left and PSU driving, sure they were going to lose. How did they come back….I am shocked….
