Delaying the portal to Jan 1 is incompatible with most academic calendars. Minnesota is a relatively late starter, the day after MLK Day.

Really went out with a bang in the bowl game with a returned punt AND returned kickoff.

I'm not concerned about whether we *can* find success. I think the answer is plainly 'yes.' I'm far more interested in what the new model for the program will look like. Going back to Mason (perhaps further, this is just my living memory), the football program has been positioned as a...

It's a long offseason, so let's kill a little time here discussing the two point attempt: This looks like it was supposed to be a pick play and we missed making the pick. With Kesich's leg, I actually like the concept because a penalty wouldn't really hurt us if they called offensive PI. It...

This thread remains one of the most valuable on this site, thanks @swelna. At the moment, it would appear that we will have a maximum of 17 scholarships open at the end of the 2024 season before any (likely) attrition due to other reasons.

Maybe we’re hiring both of Bowling Green’s co-defensive coordinators

I've always viewed these events as an opportunity to celebrate with everyone who played a part in helping get you to the next step. The hat selection gives that celebration a bit of drama. For a kid like Perich, most of the entire town will likely join in the celebration. Obviously this group...

Almost spit out my coffee thinking about the divergent personalities of he and PJ in the same building. Thanks for this.

Keeping my powder dry and not digging anything up beyond his bio unless/until we get a sourced report that he's the guy. But the bio is encouraging on the surface: https://www.kstatesports.com/staff-directory/joe-klanderman/296

I tapped out on the Rossi thread due to negativity. Did Rossi's deal have a buyout that we could turn around and use?

If it is Klanderman from K-State, a couple interesting things: 1) they’ve been running a three-man front, though that isn’t the only system he’s run and 2) Safety Kobe Savage entered the portal yesterday. Klanderman is his position coach

I wonder if the corporate partnership success will lead to changes with how schools work with their 3rd party sales vendors. The U - like many schools - uses Learfield. If I'm 3M, CHS, Land o Lakes (name the partner), I'm a bit annoyed that companies can work outside Learfield/the school and...

It's not all on the QB, but I can imagine the pass catchers were affected by the very inconsistent ball placement, inappropriate throw velocity, and inaccuracy. Jackson's highlight reel catch against Nebraska was an awful throw to an open receiver and came on the heels of a missed throw earlier...

Fleck's first-half between-quarter interview at UNC was notable. He was asked about the offense and said something to the effect of "I like the game we're calling, there are plays there to be made, we just have to make them."

For those that are DTA members, I'm curious what kind of communication you receive from the organization. e.g. What kind of transparency regarding the use of funds is provided? Do they share an annual report, etc.? Not asking to be critical, genuinely curious.

This article is a great example of how the local media is unnecessarily critical to the program, in contrast to several of the Gophers' rivals. I'm trying to imagine a similar article being written when Wisconsin needed a QB under Alvarez and his successors. The pitch can be pretty simple: we...

First of all, Morgan didn’t have Mo in 2021. Secondly, the observation about more favorable chances on first and ten was in response to the (correct) general comment that passing on first down gives your QB their best opportunities statistically. The coaches threw more on first down this year...

ESPN has splits by down and distance

I'm not disagreeing with the broader point, but Morgan in his final full season (2021) threw 78 times on first down for a rating of 149.4 and Kaliakmanis threw 119 times on first down this season for a rating of 133.1. AK was given more opportunities in a favorable down and distance and did less...

We'll see where Athan ends up, but if he doesn't land at P5 program it's further evidence that Fleck and his staff have been ineffective at identifying HS quarterbacks. I'll resurface the thread from last offseason that summarized QB recruiting. Looking over the list, Max Duggan and Brennan...
