Following Saban is going to be really hard. If you don't win the SEC, you're a failure and you'll be on the "hot seat". Alabama is probably the best place to win a Naty, but it's also the place with the most pressure to win every game. There's something to be said for going to a place where 8-4...

U of M rankings in winter sports on Jan 9, 2013: Men's Hockey = #1 in the nation Woman's Hockey = #1 in the nation Wrestling = #4 in the nation Men's basketball = #8 in the nation.

Here's your "Get to Know Corey" intro. Pretty interesting road that he's traveled to get to MN.

He holding out for a spot at Rutgers

Per your ranking, MN is in the bottom third of the 18 teams. We used to have the chance of winning the B1G West title, but that's now gone. We have basically a zero shot of winning the overall title, so what we're playing for then is to get to a bowl game (which just doesn't mean much anymore)...

Yep, my bad. I was thinking 20, but the same idea applies for 18 teams... (I'm still recovering from New Years...). I've edited the above.

In the current 18-team conference, maybe 5 to 6 teams will be playing for the championship each year, with the bottom 15 or so just playing to make it to a bowl game. Fan interest is going to slowly fade for those teams. And IMO, with all the transfers and opting out, bowl games outside of the...

The conference champ is the winner of the Premier division. With a 12-team playoff schedule, I think it makes sense to remove the B1G conference title game and give the title to the team with the best record. Note that in my play every team plays every team, so other than home vs away, it's not...

The B1G is going to have 18 teams next season, so here's a thought on how to handle that large of a number w/rpt to football and keep it interesting for fans of the middle-of-the-pack-of-18 teams. Every team in the B1G gets an equal share of TV revenue - this is the rule that can't change -...

^^^ Posts that don't age well ^^^ We just had two B1G teams beat two SEC teams in the semis, making it an all B1G final. B1G will end up going 9-5 in the playoffs (best winning percentage of any conference), with the overall champion also being a B1G team. SEC ended up with a losing record of 5-6.

What’s the over under on the number of rush attempts by Taylor?

It's your Hill to die on (pun intended). From the article: In all, the report estimates, at least 3,100 students took the paper classes, but adds the number "very likely falls far short of the true number. For the first time since the scandal first came to light five years ago, UNC admitted...

You'd think with "academic rigor" that students would actually have to go to class, and maybe even take a test, but nope, that wasn't the deal at UNC. And the only way they avoided NCAA sanctions is they correctly stated this was a deal for every student, not just athletes. Per my link (and you...

You're joking, right? The school where thousands of students got credit for "taking" classes that they never attended... The school that got away with athletes not going to classes because that was a policy for all students, not just athletes? Sorry, unless you're talking about marijuana usage...

Totally right. Get the family coaches and teammates there to be part of the signing. Make it a positive celebration.

And I asked Chat what it's like to be a Gopher QB. Chat is wise... Beneath the northern skies, where dreams take flight, A Gopher quarterback dances in golden light. In the heart of Minnesota, where spirits soar, A tale of triumph, forever to adore. Oh, Gopher quarterback, in maroon so bright...

This is what happens when you use Chat GPT to write your posts. So, along those lines, I asked Chat what it's really like to be a QB at Nebby. Here's the result... In Nebraska's vast expanse, where hopes are sown, A quarterback's despair, a tale all his own. Amidst the prairie winds that howl...

Meh, guess Raiola had to land somewhere, so why not Nebby. Drake Lindsey blew Raiola off the field with his stats. Drake threw for 3,916 yards (that's over 2 miles folks), 52 touchdowns and just four intercepts. Lindsey wins the stats trophy, Raiola gets a participation pin and is forced to wear...

Committing and decommitting to another B1G team within a week isn't very bright. Trent's going to get smacked by a few Gopher LB's next year...

Even if Ewers goes to the NFL, the Longhorns were going to start Arch Manning over Murphy.
