No, not at all. I think most people write an article when they have a point. It's odd to write an article that says "it's fine but it wasn't as good as 1960 and it could be better". That's a strange choice of an article. Think of the things in your life that you usually would think were...

I know the stats might not be there for their entire careers but Wilie Vandesteeg and Jon Schlecht had great single seasons.

Yeah, it's hard for me to disagree with people going with Maxx or Spaeth, I don't think there is a wrong answer. That said, my personal opinion, it's Spaeth. He was the best blocking TE in the nation, a very good receiver and went on to have a long career as one of the better blocking TEs in the...

It's gotta be Spaeth. They had nearly identical receiving stats and Spaeth was an elite blocker. Spaeth was essentially a combo of Utecht and Ko Kieft.

What was the point of the article then? He is saying that the football program doesn't meet his standards and haven't since the 1960s when he didn't have to sit down to tie his shoes. So what's the point? Could you imagine if people just wrote articles on things they don't really feel strongly...

Well, he has been covering sports in the cities for almost 50 years and the "good ole days" predate that timeline. This feels a little like complaining the forward pass ruined the NFL.

Pat started covering the Gophers for KSTP in 1980. Our Big 10 record in 80s was 28-55-2 (.337) and we played multiple FCS programs (Wichita State, Montana, losing to Pacific (they may have been FBS), Northern Iowa and Indiana State). When were these good ole days? When he was a chubby little...

It's not a narrative. The East, besides Ohio State, had a losing record against the West. It's not a narrative it's the actual results on the field. Right now, you're using the results against Ohio State (who everyone struggled against), to prop up the record of the East vs. West. Remove Ohio...

Outside of Ohio State, the teams in the East lost more games against the West than they won.

This is 100% true. There was complete parity between the East and West. The only outlier was Ohio State. The rest of the East was a combined 80-84 against the Big 10 West during that time (that's counting MSU's vacated wins as wins). There was not a disparity between East and West, the...

Why? I wouldn't want my compensation published.

Baylor has a player on their basketball team this year who was drafted in the 2023 NBA draft (James Nnaji and there are a number of college teams pursuing Trentyn Flowers who has played in 8 NBA games (currently in the G League). It's coming and I agree with you about a CBA.

They've already been told they will lose and get an injunction that would stop them from implementing the rule. It would take an act of Congress to slow this down.

I think the single season numbers are real but when the players get multi-year deals, those numbers are about as real as the NFL's. As far as not believing the numbers generally, I don't know why someone wouldn't. College football is clearly big business, why wouldn't programs invest in the...

Flores will be a tough sell for a lot of owners as HC. He is seen as both a liability in being too tough on support staff but also suing a former employer. It's really hard to hire someone you know might sure you if you ever fire them. I'm with you Ogie, I think he got some awful short-sighted...

He was banned. He was Rockraven and he is also another poster on here who posts more on the basketball board. It's a dead give away. He is really dumb. He does internet tough guy stuff. He talks about blowing dudes a lot (seriously). He is willing to take this bet because he will just to...

Yep, we've already seen it in basketball. It's still a no-brainer for the top 10 pick type of players, but a lot of players can make more money returning to school to develop. It's better for the pro leagues as well.

I think Michigan fans pretend to hate Meyer because they want to say his success at tOSU is tainted but they would also take him in a heartbeat. If they had any shot at Kiffin, they'd have taken him.

Yeah, you know you're in a bad spot when you're longing for the days of Ed Ingram and Bradbury.

The best players are worth these giant contracts, the key is not to miss.
