    Post Game Thread: Gophers win 3rd in a row, CRUSH Maryland!

    Winning and playing better has a way of changing opinions and outlooks. Always changing in sports, unless there is another motivation.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers win 3rd in a row, CRUSH Maryland!

    Brosmer made it look effortless. Big defensive turnovers including a pretty pick 6. Run game showed a faint pulse. Koi on punt returns is doing athletic things. AFAIK Dragan made all his kicks. It was such a laugher I dozed off in the third quarter and didn’t wake up until after the game...

    NC St QB Grayson McCall retires due to head injuries

    For every study that shows reduced cognitive function, memory there’s another that shows little or no effect, or maybe the study was never published as is often the case. Confounding factors, effect size, clinical relevance. I realize it makes “sense” that repeated injury could cause long term...

    Week 9 Other Games Thread

    Win, lose, or draw there are issues in the Woody Hayes football complex. They can’t rely on officiating as crooked as their flag every week. Ok, maybe they can.

    After watching OSU this year my two cent opinion is they are less than the sum of their expensive parts.

    Huskers are clowning Ohio State right now. Nice TD drive. Edit, down short by a whisker…oh boy.

    With QB Rourke, absolutely. The OSU defense is not elite. QB2 Tavyen is not currently the same player. Who knows, first game as starter jitters.

    NC St QB Grayson McCall retires due to head injuries

    Not here, but predictable handwringing about somebody else’s decision is odd. There are plenty of calls from others to ban the game, damn the knock on effects. The overall absolute risk is still very, very low. We know in rough terms the numbers of direct, indirect deaths. The relative risk...

    NC St QB Grayson McCall retires due to head injuries

    With all due respect the long term impact of concussion and incidence of neurodegenerative issues varies widely. Are football players not aware of the risks, in 2024? We all make risk/benefit decisions daily. Tolerance varies. Sometimes the potential benefits outweigh potential downsides.

    Yeah, it’s honestly sickening. There is NO WAY the official missed the view of the runner. Completely unobstructed view. Then the phantom offensive PI. Somebody needs to be fired at halftime. This after a similar incident at the Michigan game just last week that was incorrect even after...

    NC St QB Grayson McCall retires due to head injuries

    My point is, every time this topic comes up there is gross hyperbole of the risks of football while ignoring the benefits. See above the statement Tua is going to die on the field. Sure, maybe, it can never be ruled out but those incidents are thankfully very, very rare. Some people want to...

    My Big Ten Power Rankings after Week 8

    As some of us do the annual fall reminisce on the unlikely ‘87 Twins we discussed the story of the state champion ‘87 Willmar Cardinals baseball team, an even more unlikely story. They went 7-9 in the regular season with a .200 team batting avg. They did play in the tough CLC. Anyway, they...
