OSU beats Michigan in The Game advances to B1G conference championship vs. Iowa....in other news, the Gophers played but no one at the paper cared enough to record the opponent or score.

Your analysis lacks all context. 1.) Fleck walked into a situation with a new stadium, new facilities, and a supportive AD including money for his staff. 2.) The prior coach was not fired due to the performance of the team on the field - the immediate year prior, they went 9-4 3.) When Fleck...

I am definitely not a big Fleck fan. For me, I don't get the rah-rah boat garbage and people promising to win based on recruiting. That said, Fleck has turned in good performance vs. our recent historical standards so something is working. I would prefer we develop an identity like we had...

I couldn't agree with you more - and it is only going to get more cut throat with USC joining the conference. Watching the post game interviews of some Alabama games really made me question how these kids could possibly be passing classes - then the NC scandal hit and it all made sense. With...

On the plus side, we don't have to worry about PJ leaving for another job...

I agree with you wholeheartedly. If they were going to get it done, this was the year given the Iowa and WI situations and a favorable schedule. Also, we will have an inexperienced QB against starting next year so that will means 2-3 years of growth before they perform at a high level and by...

I think the window just closed with the loss today for Minnesota to ever go to the Rose Bowl in my lifetime - I am 46 and plan to live into my 90's. I thought we would have a chance if we could win the West but I think this was the last year that will be possible. I don't know what the future...

Tanner Leidner is what he is. How these guys can play this many years and never improve is very frustrating.

My guess is that they would be ranked somewhere between 13-18 if there were in the SEC. The bias is terrible and yes, it DOES MATTER.

Anyone that doesn't put Michigan in their top 3 has not met enough Michigan grads/fans.

In 2008, Obama opposed gay marriage and CA votes explicitly to ban it. I think it is shocking how much has changed in the 8 years I have lived overseas. Not saying it is a good or bad thing - but the change is shockingly fast.

I don't live in the US so I don't get to watch many US commercials....but, did that Hilton commercial just feature 2 gay guys with a kid?

I want to partner the B1G and the MAC to form a 'Premier' league structure. Relegate the bottom 2 schools to the MAC and promote the top 2 MAC schools to the B1G for football only. I think it would make everything way more meaningful. I know - TV contracts, facilities, other associations...

I don't actually blame Brewster - over-estimating your abilities is required to make it in this world. The fault for Brewster is in the AD for falling for the song and dance. I still remember the reaction on here when he was hired - it was a 'who?' reaction but then hoping for the best...

100% this. It would be interesting to map out how this would play out today with the contrast of 'me too' offset by the new Title IX guidance where innocence and a sense of fairness is somewhat restored. Take TC's comments now in today's framework and it would be really hard to lay any dirt on...

I don't disagree with you - but the off the field stuff made it possible as the only excuse that he could feed the press given the on field performance. If you go back and look at that season: 9-4 overall which included an OT loss to #7PSU, lost by 7 to Iowa due to giving up 8pts in the 4th Q...

I think it is more a factor of the UW falling off rather than us making huge strides. The West is definitely poised to become more interesting. I think Nebraska will eventually get it figured out and get competitive again. Additionally, I think Illinois might actually have some life in them...

In the case of TC - I think it is very clear he was fired over character issues for the team and the publicity it brought. So, I can see where Kill would be angry that PJ is highlighting the fact that the culture needed to change - whether it needed to change or not - they needed to state this...

For me, the difference is between a perennial bottom feeder and team with some recent success. In the case of a perennial bottom feeder, it is a near impossible task. I terms of a team with at least some recent success, I don't think it is such a monumental task. Then again, I tend to look at...

They made Morgan look like an NFL caliber player 2 years ago. If PJ has the skillsets, I think he is more than willing to change up the style of play to put them in the best position to win.
