Yeah, Iowa won't have almost half their regular season offense in the bowl. One would think that might impact things? Assuming the BG10 is locked into the Pinstripe, I wouldn't be surprised if Iowa gets slotted in there. Same as they did for MN with an 8-4 record in 2022. It shouldn't be MN or...

It was a total joke. The field conditions in Yankee Stadium were terrible and unsafe for the players. Shitty sod over frozen turf. Similar issue with the game in the Rate Bowl in Phoenix. The Gophs deserve a game not played on another crappy baseball field.

In reading past years' bowl selection writeups for the BG10, the conference groups teams by similar rankings and records which usually means 1 game +/- cushion in overall record; meaning an 8-4 team could jump a 9-3 team for a higher rated bowl. Bowls don't care about conference seeding criteria...

I refuse to let my mind wander to the Gophs in the Pinstripe bowl. They were just there two years ago. I believe the BG10 has an intended goal for the non-elite bowls of 5 different teams in a 6-year period which would hopefully keep the Gophs out of the cold.

I think he'll get a shot. Max ends up with a PFF ranking of #2 in the BG10 and #5 in D1. That's pretty damn good. By comparison, Morgan had an 85.5 rating in his incredible 2019 season compared to Brosmer's 89.8.

To state my feelings another way, the Gophs were good enough this year to cause James Franklin to choose a risky fake punt from PSU's own 34-yard line while up 1 point at the end of that game instead of kicking back to the Gopher offense. I don't think he makes that decision against a lesser...

A relatively good season for a team that (I think) actually underperformed in multiple games. This team has the potential to compete with anyone IMO but has been inconsistent.

If I recall correctly, there were some shenanigans in the Gopher/Badger game either early in the Fleck era or late in the Kill/Claeys era where one of the teams didn't appreciate the axe chopping in the home endzone near the students. There must have been some "coaching" of conduct since then...

The Big 12 sucks. Miami, down. Clemson, down. Are we looking at Boise jumping the Big 12 and/or ACC champ for a first round bye?

Agreed. Fickell has at least a couple more seasons. OSU's next game could be a massive one for Day's future.

Wow. Drake actually put up a fight against a team with 63 scholarships.

Four straight losses to Meechigan including some years where OSU had the favored team. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of big boosters.

Center. . . . . . any quality depth on the D, especially LB and maybe DE. I have no idea on the depth at RB.

Yup, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan wins really messed up the bowl positioning for MN.

Gophs beat that Fadger Axe.

It's a solidly nice "B". About 3 plays from an A.

That's good. I watched a different playoff game last weekend on ESPN+ but assumed the Johnnies would make it pay per view somehow.

The Johnnies have been throwing the ball in blizzard like conditions going back to the prime Gags years. It can be a huge advantage to the receivers. It should be a great game. La Crosse also traditionally loves to throw the ball...but I won't be paying to watch it.

The advantage to Bethel pretty much ends this weekend. I have to give La Crosse their props. They took D2 power Grand Valley State to the limit at their house earlier this season, but St. Johns is still probably favored to win.

I didn't realize it went that long. Yeah, I miss the Dragon vs Cobber rivalry. Almost to the point I wish the Cobs would move up to D2 just to renew that series.
