I didn't pay attention to Menz until the Nebraska game. Now I watch for him.

You ask her, and let us all know what she says.

You don't comprehend, but maybe that isn't your fault. Daily seizures meant Kill couldn't do the job, and trying to do the job meant he couldn't take care of himself. If you showed up at work impaled on a length of rebar, I wouldn't complain about the quality of your burger flipping.

You're splitting hairs. He couldn't do the job and he couldn't take care of himself. His health forced him into retirement, and at the time, he believed he would never coach again.

Which is how you misinterpreted my comments. So who actually says that Kill was better than Fleck?

If I was trying to support the idea that Kill is the better coach, I would have written that post differently. My aim is to show that Fleck isn't worthy of bootlicking and Kill doesn't deserve the criticism and mockery that he gets here.

I'm not finding fault with Fleck. I'm merely comparing. Draw your own stupid conclusions. It's stupid to characterize Kill's forced retirement as "quitting during a losing season"

This is a great post.

A few observations. 1. Kill took over a program that had gone 3-9 (2-6) in the previous season, and made it better. Fleck took over a program that had gone 9-4 (5-4) in the previous season, and made it worse. 2. Kill was named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2014. Fleck was named co-Coach of the...

Typical Iowa fan post, no surprise.

I'm trying to remember how to spell "well duh." I was talking about possibilities, not actualities.

Having seen the temporary lakeside home of NW football, I think they're crazy not to play there permanently. They have the money and they're accountable to no one, so they could innovate - make a three-sided stadium where the sideline is open to the lake, instead of an end zone. They aren't...

I thought this video was the most informative thing I've encountered in the last week. Interestingly, one of the people arrested by the FBI as part of this gambling investigation was former Gophers linebacker De'Niro Laster. The last time I remember seeing him was at a spring game about ten...

:D I'm familiar with the name and the stadium.

I sure hope so. I hate to lay out a lot of cash for a ticket and get a nasty surprise. The best thing you can say about MSU this year is that they've been competitive in parts of some of their B1G games.

TCF Bank Stadium (I refuse to use the new name) is a beautiful stadium with lots of amenities, a beautiful facade, a beautiful interior, and plenty of access. It was designed for its surroundings and engineered to please the fans and the athletes. The one valid criticism isn't a flaw in the...

Relevant to all popular sports, including college football. The man reputed to have been the richest gangster in American history talks about the NBA gambling scandal, how the mafia gets their hooks into athletes, and how outcomes are influenced.

Having a 5-3 record with two blowout losses isn't a reason to abandon the team. I do find it a source of exasperation with the coach. I don't know whether anyone is satisfied with achieving a level slightly above mediocre over the long term.

I was tempted to give a D- because the second half was better than the first, but that would have been charity. This game sucked. When you make Iowa look like Ohio State, you have sucked royally.

One week after dominating the Huskers, the Gopher comprehensively and inexplicably tanked.
