    2023-24 Other Bowl Games Thread

    Utah is tough on defense year after year. They were tonight, too, except for a few passes by the QB who beat us at the end of the game despite being down 21. The guy is amazing. The NW defense was scary - glad we don't play them in a bowl. Good game, lots of speed and toughness on defense for...

    5* Dylan Raiola commits to Nebraska: No. 1 QB in 2024 flips from Georgia, becomes program's highest-rated recruit

    Nebraska needs him. But this era will be seen in retrospect as one of greed and lunacy.

    This is Lunacy

    You nailed it. This kind of chaos in any human activity cries for reform. Anarchy is a swing of the pendulum too far in one direction - and it will have to come back the other way, as it always does - the trick being not going too far in the other direction, as in politics.

    The Direction College Football Programs are Heading in 🏈 (Rough Futures: Minnesota)

    18 teams in one league isn't going to help. Michigan, Washington, Southern Cal, Ohio State, UCLA, Penn State, Oregon are going to be in the top ten, with maybe a team like Wisconsin or Iowa making it now and then, but the roughly second half of the league will be out of it most years. Restoring...

    Kyle MCord to Nebraska?

    Rumors swirling that GA recruit at QB, Dylan Raiola, described by some as the best H.S. QB in the nation - is headed to Nebraska. That would make a difference.

    Rossi leaving for DC at Michigan St

    "Things fall apart...the centre cannot hold." (Yeats). Why does PJ go for all these co-something staffers. Get a really good DC and a really good OC, with one or both good recruiters.

    Old time classic Gophers stuffs

    Like jerseys, helmets stuff or paper stuff like programs, national magazine articles, Trib pieces on Giel, Bobby Cox, Warmath;s Rose Bowl teams, etc.

    Army-Navy

    I watch it every year but as neither team can pass, the entire game is a big rugby scrum in the middle of the line - a heap of players after short runs.

    Nebraska's $450M football stadium renovation plan criticized as academic programs are cut

    The problem is that no matter how much money flows in from TV, it is all spent - and now NIL will add the burden of paying players so that alumni contributions and other contributed income will be diverted in that direction.

    Gophers coach P.J. Fleck says some transfer portal prices are in the millions, and not just for quarterbacks

    NIL is anarchy as is the portal. Both should be tossed by any means necessary.

    Tracy Claeys - What’s he doing now?

    A shame what happened to him here - blindsided by a sexual imbroglio before the season began, but revealed at the end of the season, just before the bowl game. The girl initiating it got off scot-free, but the boys were persecuted at once, though later some got softer sentences. He was a solid...

    NCAA President to propose New Division

    What did I say? The only real answer is to ban payment of any kind and to do it through Congress and the courts. Payment means unions, which means more and more money to amateurs - and not only in football. Payment could kill sports as we have known them, even at the high school level.

    Quick Lane Bowl Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota vs Bowling Green

    BG Got better as the season went on and would probably love to beat us again. But of Cole starts, we'll pass more effectively, run well with Nubin and get some field goals. But our defense is ???. So, Maroon Gophers (PJ hates gold) 27 Bowling Green 20

    College Football is Dead

    The best article I've seen on NIL was in the NY Times Oct 23, '23: "How Rich Donors are Transforming College Sports." The reporter goes into detail on how the NIL is being misused and becoming a fraud. Another good article was in the NY Times Jan. 24, '23, by Bruce Schoenfeld: "Student, Athlete...

    College Football is Dead

    It was the first year for the AP poll, which eclipsed all the single guy choices which had been argued over previously, in terms of a "consensus" champion.. AP was the only recognized arbiter of national champion until the coaches poll began in 1950 - it had equal authority, so they disagreed...
