    Week 6 Other Games Thread

    Rutgers at Nebraska 👀 Pulling for the Boilers to right the ship with the coaching change, dagger Wisconsin. The fans are close to mutiny versus Fickell and his benefactor MacIntosh.

    College football ‘Super League’ details unveiled, would be called ‘College Student Football League’

    If the conferences decide to restructure in such a way then follow the Green Bay Packers lead; a publicly-held non-profit affiliated contractually with each school and with a national league(s). Stock bought by/issued to fans, limits on stock ownership, volunteer executive committees. This...

    How would you try and beat USC?

    Turnovers kept Michigan and Wisconsin close. Michigan was able to run for almost 300 yards and close it out at the very end while Wisconsin collapsed in the second half, held the ball for only 19 minutes and couldn’t sustain drives. So…play good, opportunistic defense (guess right, hey...

    College football ‘Super League’ details unveiled, would be called ‘College Student Football League’

    Why do the schools and NCAA need the CSFL to enact such an organization. They aren’t going to do this for free, or anywhere remotely free, or negotiate in good faith once they hold leverage. Why would the schools and conferences give up control of their crown jewel revenue producers. Finally...

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    I had forgotten about this one but deserves a video for long suffering Vikes fans. Heard this on the radio at the time; an all-timer.

    P.J. Fleck 'will not accept losing,' calls moral victories 'rat poison'

    Five star heart, but three star slogans this week. Moral victories are for the fans, the players that care are pissed off. Listening to Gopher Gridiron this week was sort of a microcosm of fandom. Burns was over it, pissed off and grumbling about missed opportunities, poor execution and...

    Sources: Big Ten, SEC to talk possible scheduling partnership

    At this point the only thing keeping the jackals from getting an even bigger playoff is a lack of time. Should have only included conference champs. I haven’t really thought about it but the 12 team format is very odd.

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    MBS, ML7 I mean, they weren’t killed, so….all good.

    Sources: Big Ten, SEC to talk possible scheduling partnership

    Bordering on duopoly power. Regulators could/should step in and break the big conferences apart but….I’m not gonna hold my breath. We don’t seem to have a taste for it/don’t care. Just gimme ma football.

    Brosmer

    Lotta B1G QBs putting up gaudy stats so far but now schit gets real in conference. Brosmer had an incredible game considering he was under massive pressure all day, playing from behind, has no run game, and the receivers aren’t world beaters outside of Jackson. Might start to see some goatees...

    As House v. NCAA settlement unravels, Big Ten ADs are rethinking plans and seeking clarity

    Yep, AFAIK we only have one Supreme Court justice Kavanaugh on record as saying the NCAA’s pro-competitive rules don’t pass the rule of reason tests. Whether the majority agree… especially given the shot show we’re witnessing is arguable. Reading between the lines of Wilkens statements and...

    I am not a conspiracy theory guy but..,

    This site may post a blurb or NCAA explanation later this week. I’m not expecting anything earth shattering except it was correct to the letter of the law and we have no evidence otherwise...

    Brosmer

    The Vikings look great today, as does Darnold. He was fantastic in the clutch at USC; a gunslinger. Nice to see him get a better opportunity and everyone loves a comeback story.

    Brosmer

    Like it or not this is a better passing team than running team (1.5 ypa yesterday) but Brosmer is going to get killed. Currently MN is one of the worst in the nation in sacks allowed and probably only a few are his fault. He is great at anticipation, hitting check downs and throwing it away...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN BATTLE FOR THE LITTLE BROWN JUG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yeah, frustrating but should never have come down to an onside kick opportunity. If the player really did break the vertical plane (hard to see on angles we’ve seen) with his hand, arm, head prior to the kick that is incredibly chintzy as it is almost never called during regular play unless...

    As House v. NCAA settlement unravels, Big Ten ADs are rethinking plans and seeking clarity

    Judge Wilkin has heard the revised settlement proposal The ball is now in Wilken’s court. She could schedule another hearing or directly rule on the motion. Wilken could also permit other interested parties to file objections (there are already objections from attorneys representing crew...

    I am not a conspiracy theory guy but..,

    Considering the ways money are made legally and illegally and incentives involved, opaque nature of the business well, no business or industry is immune to the potential phenomenon. As ludicrous as I may sound I’m not saying Uncle Guido has infiltrated or is manning the Big Ten Officiating HQ...
