That's fine that you don't look at them for that reason, but gambling is why they exist. Without an injury report, if a handful of big money gamblers found out that the starting QB (for example) was out but nobody else knew, they could devastate the casinos. Do you honestly think they exist so...

The Rose Bowl does. All non-CFP Bowls are assigned by the B1G based off requests from the Bowl partners, but the CFP Bowls pick whomever they want. https://bigten.org/documents/2019/10/7//2019_Bowl_Determination_Procedures.pdf?id=6568 In the past rankings were used to make the decision, but...

Agree. The 15 yd flag didn't help, and you never know how it might have played out differently with Iowa pushed back to the endzone, but it was their ball either way, and the plays you mentioned (and puzzling wastes of timeouts, etc.) were way more of a factor. I honestly felt they got...

Strib has a poll on how many games the Gophers will win. Over 1000 of the 1417 votes (as of now) have between 6-9 wins. The largest percentage was 8 or 9 wins, which surprised me with many of the rubes that read the Strib and how little they know about Gopher football. Admin: If this was...

Interesting - seems like a big fish in a small pond type story. Love his running style, but look how small some of the opposing players are. He also doesn't look nearly as fast as they claim he is...

http://www.startribune.com/sudden-impact-gophers-true-freshmen-who-could-play-get-a-look-this-fall/486273921/ I'm not sure there are any huge revelations, but interesting...

"...will make the best of being a Golden Eagle". Wow, that's got to make Southern Miss fans happy that he's making the best of being there. I do wonder what conversations happened here before he was asked to leave. Did they discuss switching positions, for example, or did Fleck just want...

Congrats to all three! http://www.startribune.com/three-gophers-chosen-for-college-gridiron-showcase/467689873/

I was looking at the 2017 B1G Football Prospectus http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/big10/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2017-18/misc_non_event/2017FootballProspectus.pdf and saw that all teams except Michigan State reported how many letter winners they retained and lost from last year. There's...

Relative to the boycott, I think there's a fairly simple solution. Have the ten players sign a waiver to release all evidence for review by the football team and/or make it public (just redact any other names). If they are basing the suspensions on facts, this should convince the team (and/or...

Oops, tried to edit the previous post and put a picture in but I indadvertently double posted and put a picture to replace the grid of data, but then it's completely illegible. UGH!

So look at the picture in the following post: And look at this picture from after the coils were installed: In the first picture it looks like the sand was cleared off a few spots, but I don't see the coils that you see in the second picture before they were covered in sand. I have no...

Didn't see this posted elsewhere, but feel free to move/remove if so... Noah Scarver has decided to hang up his cleats... http://www.startribune.com/scarver-retires-from-football-citing-a-lost-love-for-the-game/373364111/ Wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.

At one point it was the ultimate in hypocrisy because you could search for a star player's name on the NCAA website and it would bring up their jersey for sale. Jay Bilas tweeted out that if you searched "Johnny Manziel" his #2 A&M jersey would come up for purchase. As soon as that tweet went...

I'm not DL65, nor do I play him on TV, but here is my best stab at a recap of the Sports Huddle (since I know I prefer reading it rather than listening to it): Sid: When does the next semester start and will all players report for summer school? JK: Classes start Monday. Some kids literally...

Waiting to hear TCU or Baylor try to go this route: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2014/12/09/hail-mary-judge-to-decide-if-blown-call-in-okla-prep-football-game-merits-do/?intcmp=latestnews Maybe the U can sue for the game against Penn State ~15 years ago when the receiver's foot was clearly in...

I'm gonna give him the frowning of a lifetime!

Interesting article in the Pioneer Press about Dungy talking to the Football team. http://blogs.twincities.com/gophers/2012/04/03/tony-dungy-leaves-an-impression-on-gophers-players/
