love the creativity. NIL can be a lot more than just cash.

What an awful bowl. Late night on a work night Tuesday more than a week prior to Christmas. Blech. West Virginia must be thinking that getting run over by 400 pound TD-scoring ball carriers on a slippery baseball field is more fun than this.

I wish Bob Hope could introduce him as part of some TV variety special. I always enjoyed that when I was a kid.

And perhaps most importantly, unlike exhibitions, spring games, scrimmages, etc. - the results COUNT in the W-L records of both the universities and the coaches.

I wish I had a crystal ball. I understand opt outs but they bug me and I hate to see them. Fleck has had a long history of not announcing injuries during the season or opt outs for bowls. So in some cases we don't find out until the very last minute. I think JMS opted out during pregame warm...

I've watched both. Jeanty would have my vote. Hunter is a special player, no doubt. The most special thing about him is playing both ways and while that is worth a lot, so is the fact his team didn't make the playoffs. Heisman winners usually (yes, not always) come from a top team. I feel...

Even playoffs are just a speed bump to the portal now. And for NFL prospects opting out... it really feels like the expanded playoff along with the recent "opting out" trend - the days of the blizzard of bowls have to be numbered. I guess they will continue to wring out the wet rag of...

Well, if you are going to be in the portal - you want to get there ASAP to catch on somewhere else prior to spring semester and spring practice. If you know you are going to be in the portal, you probably don't want to sit around an extra month to practice and participate with a team that you...

The table has been flipped. Rutgers gets bye week prior to hosting gophers in '24, Gophers get bye week prior to hosting Rutgers in '25.

I think when I drive on the interstate now, and see those big chunks of truck tires on the side of the road - I'm going to think of North Carolina football coach hiring philosophies.

The part that seems weird to me is Wisconsin still shows up on the short list potential destination of a lot of the higher profile QB's in the portal. With a coach very much on the hot seat, or having enough buyout to be a lame duck coach for a while before being on the hot seat, if I were a...

I haven't listened to the pair and a spare but based on what I am reading here as well as the fact they actually announced they will be back (It would be really weird to announce your return and THEN not return in a portal situation at MN)... I'm going to declare that the hay is indeed in the...

you are spot on 100% correct. I am not sure why, but this one has stuck with me and I can't shake it because of a couple reasons: 1. How unbelievably WRONG the Iowa fan base has remained on this despite the rules being black and white and the call being made correctly after review. We've all...

Cole Cabana reminds me a lot of Tiki Barber.

I enjoy these threads that pop up early in the season with non conf opponent fans and then again during the bowl season. Appreciate the visit to our board and the posts. Opt outs will indeed tell a lot and it is something we typically didn’t have to worry about in the past. It definitely puts...

85% of Iowa fans to this day think the refs called on review that it was a fair catch signal. They will argue all day that it was NOT a fair catch signal. And gosh, they are right! It was NOT a fair catch signal. And that is where their ignorance stops them from any further brain growth. They...

I’m just thrilled to have a bowl game on a football field. Bowl games on sloppy baseball fields should be stopped. And, at least we got a bowl game more in line with our season results.

There probably is nothing about college football that bothers me more… Regardless if it is a one year team-of-a-lifetime or a multi year knocking on the door situation, the blatant advantages showered on the “brands” of college football for playoff placement makes it really hard for non-brands...

Hoodies optional

The pay for MN assistants has long been an issue. Solve this now please. Getting repeatedly preyed upon by the likes of Rutgers would be next level embarrassing.
