I always hated the argument that the smaller field (and even the two team BCS championship) made the games matter more. Florida State played 13 games that didn't matter last year.

In my opinion, the "eye test" is antithetical to what's supposed to be good about sports. In pro football, it doesn't matter if people like the way you win, think you play the right way, or think that you got lucky and wouldn't win the same number of games if you played the season over. All...

Where feels most inequitable about the ranking inertia is when ranked teams beat other ranked teams who end up being bad. I feel like, if we had been ranked when we played USC, we would have gotten a big bump for beating a ranked team, and that bump would not have been adjusted back out of our...

I think our record results are consistent with a very middle of the pack big ten team. We are 4-2, but we lost our only game to a B1G team with a winning conference record, we are 1-1 against teams with an even conference record, and 3-0 against B1G teams with a losing conference record. Add in...

Part of this is what makes football fun. Every strategy has risk and reward. I think going for two was a pretty obvious call given the score and game time, even though there were scenarios where we later wish we had had the one point if we miss it (though, has others have noted, us kicking the...

We've already got two quad 5 wins against hamline and bemidji.

They aren't mutually exclusive. The people who criticize the conservative play calling aren't asking for reckless decisions at weird times.

Agreed. That's the kind of thing you do with a lead when you're worried our defense can't stop them. Don't understand why you risk giving them the shortfield when they can't move the ball.

So we ran the clock at the end of the half because potentially giving Illinois the ball with 45 seconds was too risky. But, when Illinois is down a touchdown and our defense is stopping them, we decide to chance it on a 4th and 12 fake punt?

We got to 7-1 the following week beating Purdue. We were favored at home the following week against Northwestern, and in my opinion, the highwater mark of the Brewster era came after we erased a 10-0 lead in that game, got a stop to get the ball back in the fourth quarter, and it seemed like...

To your number 4, Im quite alright with that. A hockey team doesn't need to throw their weight around to be successful, but you can't be successful if you have trouble handling other teams throwing theirs around.

It's fun to see that Wisconsin lost to Northern Iowa, but i don't put much stock in secret scrimmage results. I don't know to what extent starters played or the coaches used the scrimmage to test out different combinations or plays.

I'm having a lot of trouble with how I'm going to evaluate the team this year. It feels like just making the tournament would be a big step forward for the coach. But, if we make the tournament and don't get past the first weekend, it still feels like it would be a very inadequate four years...

But it would have had an amazing spiral! That's how you identify good quarterbacks, right?

This was a really fun regular season. Wish my schedule allowed me to try to go to the home playoff games. Anyone with more knowledge than I have know what we need to make the big tournament? I'm not saying I think we will win the conference tournament, but we've got enough quality wins to...

So we are waiting to see who is able to blow Coyle away during the interview?

Dismantled them. Easily an A.

Does he move well for someone who doesn't move well? Or does he move poorly for someone who moves well?

That is the same problem I've had with the national championship. It seems patently unjust that any sports team be in a situation where they could never lose and not be champions at the end. I'm not aware of any championship anywhere in the sports world other than FBS football where that is the...

Yes, but it would mostly be a different group of people.
