    Gophers open as a 3 point dog

    Down two RBs may be the difference in this game for Minnesota. That and Nebraska's desperation might just be enough for the Huskers to escape with a W.

    Next Up: Nebraska

    It's true that Northwestern isn't any good, but Nebraska has been improving week to week. They held MSU's offense to 13 points in regulation. Nebraska allowed a special teams TD in the 4th quarter when the punter kicked to the wrong side of the field / wrong returner. MSU had two returners...

    Thread removed about message to fans

    As others have pointed out, Heather Fleck certainly has the right to publically voice her opinion, but she would be more circumspect. Not saying it is exactly the same, but when Nojel Eastern's mother started defending her son on a Purdue sports forum it did not go well. She would have been...

    Big Ten West after Week 2

    Purdue is difficult to read, mainly because their first two opponents are so bad. I didn't watch a lot of their game with UConn, but that team is so bad. It's hard to tell if they have much talent because they are so poorly coached..blown assignments, taking bad angles, poor tackling..you name...

    Welcome new GopherHole members, please introduce yourself!

    I was born and raised in Michigan and have degrees from Michigan and Purdue, and now live in Oklahoma. I'm old enough to remember when the battle for the little brown jug was competitive year in and out (seeing some of the other posts in this thread makes me feel young!). I'm a fan of Big Ten...

    Big Ten West after Week 1

    I watched part of the Purdue game. If you realize OSU is a perennial bottom feeder in the PAC 12, it makes Purdue's win even less impressive. OSU scored a td to pull within 2 with about 4 min left. With about 2 min left, facing a 3rd and 1, both teams had everyone bunched up on the line...

    Omaha World-Herald football issue says Minnesota is Nebraska's real rival

    Now that they have their one loss out of the way, it should be smooth sailing to that 6-1 record!

    Purdue to go with Plummer

    Vic Viramontes comes to mind.

    CBS: Grading the major hires of the 2021 college basketball coaching carousel (Ben Johnson, only hire given a C)

    Do you mean his ghost Halloween costume? Are you talking about his Halloween ghost costume? I suppose that would fit as occasional, as in perhaps once per year.

    B1G, ACC, PAC12 Pact developing?

    And if this alliance means the Big 10, PAC 12, and ACC are not looking to expand their conferences, that makes the future of the Big 12 more certain: they're less likely to lose members, which in turn will make them more attractive to new members

    Baylor penalties announced

    They better be wealthy. It will be well over $100 million.

    Baylor penalties announced

    Weak penalty indeed. But Baylor will be paying through the nose to the 15 young women suing Baylor. Today Baylor were forced to turn over the Pepper Hamilton report to opposing counsel. Baylor seems to have run out of tricks to stall the proceedings, and the payout will be substantial.

    Can Mizzou land a sitting Power 5 AD? (These are potential candidates who fit the profile of sitting Power 5 ADs with SEC experience: Mark Coyle, MN)

    I had forgotten about that whole issue with the players threatening to boycott unless changes were made. The wording though, is from UNLV, when she was hired there.

    Can Mizzou land a sitting Power 5 AD? (These are potential candidates who fit the profile of sitting Power 5 ADs with SEC experience: Mark Coyle, MN)

    The wording of this part seems odd: "the first Hispanic and woman of color...." Does that mean other Hispanic or women of color have held such a position but nobody who fit both categories ?

    All Things Tre Holloman Recruitment Thread (Class of 2022)

    Izzo has been prioritizing recruitment of Tre from well before Johnson was hired. MSU fans were getting antsy after some of Izzo's A plan players announced for elsewhere. I don't think Johnson and staff were going to outwork izzo's staff for him, and he's the first MSU recruit for the class.

    “You can quote me on this…..nobody in the Big Ten, and I mean nobody likes Illinois” - Hunter Dickinson

    I'm of the school that believes athletes should let their play on the court speak for them. But with NIL, some of these college players can probably increase their income by being outspoken and generating discussion on social media.

    With numbers like this, it is easy to see why recruiting centers is so much more difficult than other positions.
