    Former Minnesota head coach Tracy Claeys added to Hokies staff, reunites with Kill

    I thought for sure Claeys would end up DC at VT, but didn't realize they had the next one in waiting. I'm a little surprised he chose to be a position coach, but maybe the lure of Coach Kill was too much to resist?

    Outback Bowl: Wow, never had this before. Gopher players send thank-you notes for bowl invite

    They have "RTB" under the Block M on the back inside the ring. Plus the oars. I couldn't care less about that, personally, just pointing out that they did indeed mention Row the Boat. It seems a little "cutesy", but think this is a cool thing.

    Power 5 AD in New York this week said a specific 8-team playoff model is circulating around the CFB

    Agree 100%. And I think that would boost the lower divisions as well. The only downside is it might hurt teams like the Gophers as the cream of the crop players will still go to helmet schools, but now the 4* and 3* players may opt to go to G5 schools to have a better chance to get to the...

    Power 5 AD in New York this week said a specific 8-team playoff model is circulating around the CFB

    But then why have playoffs at all? The "best" team doesn't always win. It's who was best that day. I mean, what if LSU and tOSU get upset, are you really going to say they weren't better teams than Oklahoma and Clemson? Is Illinois a better team than Wisconsin? I've always felt that if it's...

    These 3 Big Ten teams could have a Northwestern-like fall in 2020 (Iowa, MSU, Minnesota)

    I think they are counting Mikah Dew-Treadway, even though he has 2 more years of eligibility. I've seen him mentioned as a "senior" multiple times because he's a grad transfer. I've seen 8 several places, him being the 8th in addition to those you mentioned. Not sure who the 9th would be...

    Ex Gopher football coaches and players

    There is no way the U would welcome Tracy Claeys back (thinking on field acknowledgment type thing, obviously can't stop opposing team from having him on staff), especially as long as Coyle is here, but even after that. I would think once Coyle is gone, maybe the U would kiss and make up with...

    2019 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Well, frankly I'd be more than willing to pay a head coach $7.5 million to go away 2 years later if they brought a National Championship, assuming the U got to keep it (looking your way, USC). I'm sure Auburn wanted more from him, but in the grand scheme of things he worked out pretty well for...

    PJ Fleck Interview summary - Sunday, December 8th, 2019

    I really liked both the Silver and Gold Butterknife Steaks at Murray's, but the Chateaubriand was out of this world. I've been lucky to have some outstanding steaks in my day, and the Chateaubriand from Murray's may be the best I've ever had.

    2019 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    I don't think you can count going from P5 to NFL to P5. That's much different than being hired directly from P5 to P5. Or "retiring" then finding a new job. In those cases most were unemployed and found a job (Saban was on the chopping block at Miami when he went to Alabama). That eliminates...

    Huskers suspense two players for 2.5 years

    I've never heard of a 2.5 year suspension from a university. Usually, it's a year or it's expulsion. Weird.

    Let's Not Cause Compliance Issues

    And I'm guessing it's not really "Hope you choose Minnesota" from a guy like me they care about. It's a "Love to see you choose Oregon" from a guy like Phil Knight, etc. Or the General Mills CEO saying "I'm sure you'll find great jobs in the TC if you come to Minnesota!!! ;)" I'm not...

    STrib: Bowl-bound Gophers evaluate roster, how to build on this year's success

    I'm guessing someone has a nagging injury we're not aware of where they may choose to not go, but I think you're right that most (or all) play.

    All Things Bowl Game Speculation

    Not sure if this has been posted, but a mostly good analysis of Bowls, restrictions based on who played where during the cycle, etc. A few other sites I've seen have said Michigan is a lock for the Holiday Bowl based on a number of factors...

    Shooter: Antoine Winfield Jr. "is expected to declare himself eligible for April’s draft."

    I really have a tough time believing he'd be drafted day 2. Yes, he had an awesome year, but with the injury history and his size, I just can't see him honestly being drafted that high. One more year might move him up, but as everyone else has said, that is a risk, also. He's the B1G...

    Better to win bowl or go 7-5 and lose bowl?

    It also depends on who the regular season win was against. If you're talking a trophy game, obviously that is different than say a game against Maryland or Rutgers which is different than say SW State Tech A&M College for the Blind University. I think 99 seasons out of 100 (or more), fans...

    Any shot at Rose Bowl?

    The teams realistically in contention are (I'm assuming tOSU gets playoffs either way): PSU Wisconsin Minnesota PSU may well get either an Orange or Cotton Bowl berth. If that happens, I would suspect Wisconsin would still go. However, it is the Rose Bowl's prerogative to pick the "next best...
