I would suggest that a large part of Alvarez' philosophy also involves maintaining a very strong walk-on program, and the attendant culture and mystique that has been built around their success in doing so. During Alvarez' tenure, 107 walk-ons went on to earn full scholarships while 25 of them...

That's fine if we are a run first offense. That's an identity, and a solid one, especially in a grinder conference such as this. I don't think that anyone has a problem with us being run first. I think the problem lies in the perception of us as being run first, run second, run third, and on and...

Nick Herbig, come on down!

It is a thing, unfortunately. Not quite the same situation, but I will never forget Robert Edwards, after setting rookie rushing records with the Patriots, blowing out his knee while playing in a rookie flag football game in Honolulu during Pro Bowl week in 1986. That injury was so terrible that...

Interesting. Any idea on what the story is with him, and why his his numbers were so low this year as compared to the two years prior, as it does look like he played in every game this season? At any rate, a second team Freshman All-American who owns the MSU freshman record with four 100 yard...

Agree. Charlotte is clean, and nice, but pretty generic and kind of vanilla, whereas Nashville is just loaded with character and charm. And the soul food available in Nashville, wow! THE best!

Those are very cool. Navy traditionally has quite an assortment of super cool helmets, all of them paying homage to the history of the United States Navy and a great many of them being hand-painted. This one is one of my favorite football helmets ever. Seriously, seriously sharp. Beautiful...

I don't even see that. In my opinion he does have capable backups in Trey Potts and Bryce Williams. He just chooses not to use them, but rather run his bell cow straight into the ground.

I think it's too much Mo, as in there was absolutely zero need to use him so heavily today, especially given the fact that he was gimpy out there. Mo's style is one that is physical as hell, and his mentality leads him not to shy away from contact, but rather to seek it out and try and inflict...

According to Tom Shatel, BB is supposedly one of the names on the short list so far as potentially becoming the next head coach at Nebraska, should they decide to move on from Mickey Joseph.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Nebraska beat Illinois in Lincoln. NU fans have very much rallied around Mickey Joseph, and the team really has been playing better for him.

I'm looking forward to seeing this new schedule!

Live by the blitz, die by the blitz. Blitzing is obviously a far higher risk strategy in that depending upon how many players are blitzing, an equal number of receivers downfield will be facing one on one coverage. That presents clear opportunities for an offense to create big plays provided...

You need to STOP!

Yup. I started to get a real hinky feeling straight off the bat when we lined up with no Ibrahim in the backfield, no word on him, no idea as to why he wasn't in there or whether/when he might be in, and then our very first play gets blown right up leaving Trey Potts with a five yard loss...

That's not how I saw it. I saw it as just a matter of us getting absolutely whipped in the trenches, as in, there was just nothing there. For the vast majority of that game, our offensive lineman were just failing to create any kind of holes at all, no gaps, no seams, no anything for our running...

Undisciplined is right. Just the demeanor of his team as a whole this season is bothering me- the showboating, the grandstanding, the pointing and gesturing, the getting right up in the faces of their opponents as well as the officials, the semi-dirty play (under the guise of 'chippiness', I...

That's what I got. "Spanferd", as rhyming with transferred. Just odd... Other than that annoying strangeness, I really liked the announcers for our game, and thought that Brock Vereen did AWESOME on his first collegiate broadcast. He was very impressive and came across as being just enormously...

I like your thoughts here, and I can personally attest to the effectiveness of this one: "Buy Gopher gear as gifts... especially for children and new friends from out of state." I grew up in eastern South Dakota, deep in the heart of Minnesota Vikings country (while out in western South Dakota...
