    RB Ky Thomas transferred from MN to Kansas to Kent State to Washburn.

    I remember going to a practice and watching the QBs run the offense on 2 min drill type scenarios. Vic got up there and I was "uh ... nope guess not". Everyone can have a bad day of course but it was day and night between him and his competition.

    ESPN: NCAA to consider coaches' proposal to combat fake injuries

    DUMB EVERY player who gets the wind knocked out of them is now punished because a few assholes somewhere else are dicking with the game ... and the folks gaming the system? They're still not punished as you just have some nobody go down and fake the injury. Meanwhile we're going to wonder...

    RB Ky Thomas transferred from MN to Kansas to Kent State to Washburn.

    I was never super high on him but I really thought he was at least a serviceable Big 10 running back for sure.

    Gopher 2025 Offensive Line Outlook

    I'm nervous. OL was very on and very off at times this past year. Losing a lot of folks with that situation already, makes me nervous.

    P.J. Fleck : “The QB competition is going to be fierce. It’s going to be a lot of fun. It has already started.” (Video)

    Sports fans love consistency (sometimes even if they imagine it) so much. Admittedly, I loved those plays too.

    P.J. Fleck : “The QB competition is going to be fierce. It’s going to be a lot of fun. It has already started.” (Video)

    As much as coaches want a competition... it's up to the players and the players only to make it happen.

    B1G soliciting preliminary bids from private equity firms

    If you want a lump of money, B1G could just get a loan ... they got a lot incoming. PE at least usually pretends to add some value. But what value could they provide that B1G couldn't just go out and buy? I can't imagine.

    Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will hold fewer people than expected after renovations

    Certainly going to depend on the contract and the nature of whatever made them reduce capacity. But yeah it's so weird. I can't imagine they conducted a construction project like this under some "lol maybe" clause ...

    B1G soliciting preliminary bids from private equity firms

    This is dumb. They have a very profitable business. PE is there to extract the profits FROM them ... What value could a PE organization provide that B1G couldn't get on their own without giving up equity in their own organization? Meanwhile the B1G and schools at least intend to take a long...

    Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will hold fewer people than expected after renovations

    Sometimes capacity is reduced by a renovation by design…. but apparently this time it was a surprise and not planned. No explanation for what happened. No idea how you mess up this big.

    Paul Harvey: Evaluating Big Ten QB rooms entering 2025 (MN: It should be a true QB battle throughout the offseason)

    I'm sure it is a competition. I do think sometimes fans react oddly if they don't "hear" about a lot of competition assume the coaches just didn't "have" a competition. No matter what coaches do / guys they bring in, sometimes I think they stand around in practice and they just know "naw...

    Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

    There were a lot of rumors of tension / disagreements that I saw between the HC and DC and the HC forced some changes ... and that didn't sit well with the DC. I think tOSU's approach here was that the well was maybe poisoned and they'd maybe still keep him around, but if he showed he wanted to...

    College football officials to explore use of centralized, neutral replay system for postseason games

    College Football as a whole seems to have no better ideas than to BE the NFL. Sadly I fear in the long run they will do so much (shedding teams and so on) they end up "competing" with the NFL and that's a no win situation. There's no individual leadership but someone(s) need to recognize that...

    Yeah I don’t understand how tOSU vs Notre Dame didn’t get a big channel. Even casual folks might pick it up.
