    Will Gophers Get a CBS or NBC Game?

    Why does it matter? I do not care what APP the games are on if YTTV carries it. I do not want any FB or BB games that I am interested in to be on Peacock because that APP is filled with dreck and even though it is cheap do not want to have to subscribe just to watch a game.

    Greder: 1. Less experience. 2. Tougher schedule. Story: Those two factors contribute to Gophers football team facing headwinds of lower expectations

    Rational minds might ask if PJ could not win the West last year with a talented, experienced team and a doable schedule why expect him to do it this year with a more inexperienced team and a more difficult schedule?

    Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz, Who Makes $6 Million A Year, Says Players Are Making More In NIL Than His Pediatrician Brother-In-Law Who 'Saves Lives'

    In this day and age with the 1% owning 80+ of the country's wealth, it is nice to know there are still people who get their self-worth by doing things that are important and not how much money they have or make. An Irish saying is "There are no pockets in a shroud".

    Know Thy Foe; Nebraska versus Minnesota’s Offense

    Why repeat an article that is by definition filled with raw conjecture?

    Chryst got a $11 mill buy out so he has no salary concerns.

    Texas hires Paul Chryst

    According to Temple at The Athletic Chryst was hired as an offense consultant. That is a perfect position for Chryst who had said that the duties of an HC meeting, greeting, public speaking, etc were not for him.

    Barta to Retire as Iowa AD

    Barta has taken a lot of fan criticism for not firing Ferentz Jr. He has kept Jr. on but set a minimum of points scored by the IA offense next year for Jr to keep his job. Will the new AD honor that, will the new AD ask Ferentz Sr to retire, who will be the new AD? Lots of drama unfolding in the...

    MSU vs PSU on Thanksgiving Friday

    Why would"the networks" want the game in the US Bank stadium? All they care about is how many TVs are tuned to the game. MN would be nuts to give up home-field advantage. Some BIG games are only going to be seen on Peacock. That streaming APP has mostly drivel so if there is a game I really want...

    Lloyd: Is P.J. Fleck the most disrespected coach in America?

    To me, the Texas A&M coach has to be the most disrespected because he has done less with more. PJ rubs people the wrong way with his addiction for attention. Leading the team out, sprinting on the field at the end of a quarter, etc. are not necessary. He needs to win the West before he is...

    Gophers/Huskers Line: Minnesota –7.5 vs. Nebraska (Thursday, Aug. 31) & Other BT Opening Week Lines

    It will be an interesting game, NE with a new coaching staff and a lot of new players. MN with the same staff but with a new QB, RB and rebuilt OL, and some questions on defense.

    ESPN: How an unfinished TV deal led to an unexpectedly hectic first month for the new Big Ten commissioner

    ESPN is not a disinterested observer or commentator on TV rights for the BIG because they have been left out of the deals and pander to the SEC.

    USC AD resigns

    The Athletic wrote there were numerous problems. Among them, Bohn's assistant left. He was the mover and shaker. Bohn hated the idea of NIL and did nothing to encourage groups to start one for USC. Finally, USC is starting an investigation into claims of sexual harassment in the workplace...

    All Things 2024 Daniel Freitag Recruitment Thread (Gophers Have Offered)

    It is my understanding of a complex issue that has been macerated and ground up on Buckyville is that Fickell talked to Freitag about playing FB as well as BB. The June visit to WI is about BB only. The Fickell gesture was to help get the kid to WI because Gard is on a very hot seat because of...

    Power ranking the Big Ten coaches entering the 2023 season (8. PJ Fleck - Minnesota)

    There are no good reasons. That shows how nonsensical these "ratings" are. If PJ wins the West in his last chance with a difficult schedule, a new QB, a transfer RB, and a rebuilt OL he will get deserved accolades.

    Tyler Johnson is Picked Up by the Raiders

    I guess it might be important but I never quite understood the interest or excitement in fans if a former player is in the NFL.

    Oregon, Washington ‘Vetted and Cleared’ to Join Big Ten: Brett McMurphy

    As has been written many times, it is not important how any area fills or does not fill its stadia or what its TV rankings may be. What the BTN cares about is how many people will have the BTN put on their cable or streaming packages. The people who advertise on the games do care about the...

    Dylan Raiola commits to Georgia over Nebraska

    GA has a history of tolerating bad boys if they can play. If he does not get the playing time he thinks he deserves he is gone.

    The Athletic: Where the Big Ten’s football schedule debate stands as ADs, officials meet this week

    Money talks and given all the $$$ the TV corporations poured on the BIG what option makes for the best TV will be the option the ADs "choose". I have read the two secured rivals option makes the easiest scheduling. That would mean MN, IA and WI would be guaranteed to play each other.

    Oregon, Washington ‘Vetted and Cleared’ to Join Big Ten: Brett McMurphy

    I have no idea who Brett Murphy is but if the BIG were interested in the two above teams they would have been invited before the massive and complicated TV contracts were signed.
