Raiola had too much expectations early on for the supporting cast around him, I think. It may have led to him trying to “make stuff happen” too much in addition to his possible Mahomes emulation complex. If he just tries to develop as a QB at Oregon within their offense, he may really break out...

The Gophers may have more 4* players.

Announcers said all other semifinal teams have 40+ players rated as 4 and 5* and IU has 8. Say what you will about NIL budget but that stat testifies to talent identification and coaching.

Yeah I suspect that’s the average of the starters which isn’t some unbelievable thing in the portal era where there are also some guys who have COVID 6th years. On the IU football roster page there are 47 players listed Fr, R Fr or So.

Chip Kelly offense, team that beat the Gophers and was just one game behind in the standings. Not a huge stretch if he’s already been playing in state and wants to get out of state. Not sure what other offers were.

I will say, safeties are probably more prone to jumping teams based on how favorable the defensive scheme is for them. Some systems seem to favor ball hawking safeties freeing them up to make the hero INTs. Some have them more in run support and tackling. A few years back there was an All...

He better hop to it because my understanding after reading this thread is that he’s lazy, soft, selfish and not even the top safety on the team so he really should transfer out before he gets benched or pushed out.

These comments coming from a fan base of the Gophers who have endured Fleck’s commentary for the last decade.

He had no ties to the south as far as I know so the Bama job seems more an outlier. from the Midwest and coached Midwest and west

Venables must be regretting that he didn’t take a free shot at the end zone or try to get to a long FG attempt at the end of the first half.

I wouldn’t think the top meteorologists flock to Arizona TV stations.

Good game for Washington. Boise I think had some injury issues? I think itvwould be a good bowl to keep despite the name. SoFi stadium and a trip to LA is not a bad destination. Las Vegas Bowl is also a nice stadium and easy tourist destination.

It is 1) Moore’s association with Stallions and Harbaugh and the associated recruiting and play stealing, and 2) the pattern of lack of institutional control that kept him and others in their roles when they should’ve been out. If UM had stricter self oversight and swifter disciplinary action...

The concept of consent gets more difficult when there is a large power gradient. Initially very likely things were consensual (which means she also knowingly violated the university policy). However when there’s a power gradient it becomes more difficult for the subordinate to withdraw consent...

He’s a Midwest guy mostly, with some time on the west coast and no prior southeast experience. Taking the Bama job was probably a no brainer but maybe he has found that he doesn’t like the environment and would rather be in Big Ten country. Expectations are high at Michigan but not as high as...

No but they may have further protracted the internal investigation until after the playoffs.

Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? Maybe they will take a break from the nonsensical Mr. Brightside tradition.

I thought Fleck said this was probably his most talented team yet. 7-5 required come from behind wins against the very worst of the conference, a pedestrian MAC win, and a high school team. Nebraska win was very solid and Wisconsin was showing some fight at the end of the season but they were...

The money allowed a faster build. Coaching, which includes talent identification as well as development (remember many of their transfers were JMU and G5 players) and finally getting all these new players to play effectively together, is the main component. There are loud people who say it’s...
