I don’t think it is complicated at all. If your choices are millions of dollars in guaranteed money or a 1% chance of a career-altering injury playing a game for a school that doesn’t pay you, then take the millions of dollars in guaranteed money.

I heard on KFAN that cub is donating $1 to a hospital for every jar of dukes sold over the next couple of weeks

It made no sense to have colleges giving scholarships for athletics and what we are seeing now is the inevitable chaos that resulted from that decision. There’s a good reason that the smart schools decided not to do it. You can’t pay people (even in the form of scholarship) then pretend they...

How many people do you know that would up and quit during the middle of the day at their job without having some kind of mental health issue? In that moment, he was stressed, tired, angry, whatever. No different than having depression which means you are stressed, tired, and angry. Dude...

The Gophers are 7-5 and were offered a bowl game in a warm(er) climate on a day that most people have off work Would I have preferred the Reliaquest bowl against Alabama? Hell yeah. But they lost to Michigan. Not like the Gophers got screwed this year. This is exactly the bowl that they...

There are exactly 0 bad QBs in the NFL by college football standards.

I honestly don’t know if he has the arm strength because we rarely saw him throw downfield.

This is why I think Wisconsin is the most likely place for him to land if he moves in the next 2 years. Yes, they make fun of him, but they (and Nebraska) are also the only ones that are aware of what he has done at Minnesota. He massively improved recruiting, flipped the rivalry back on its...

I’m sure this was a sarcastic response to the threads from yesterday but there’s a giant difference between Purdue (which PJ has already turned down) and the jobs people were floating in that thread.

I had never seen a defense like his at Illinois before. Too bad he couldn’t do better at Purdue but hope he lands as a DC somewhere

I mean, Claeys was fired for a stupid tweet and an awful off-field incident but yes, Mason was fired for poor on-field performance as a 6-win coach. Granted, if he gotten to 6 wins like any normal coach then his job might have been safe, but he blew a 31-point third quarter lead in a bowl game...

PJ is capital-A ambitious. He would 100% run into a flaming dumpster fire at Wisconsin if they gave him enough money. Y’all are frustrated with Minnesota’s stagnation these last few years? Imagine how the “I want to win a national championship at Minnesota guy” must feel. He’s gotta be...

Right? He apparently took a call from UCLA. He’s clearly going to listen if someone tries to talk to him. He grew up a Badger fan, fawns over Nebraska whenever he plays them, and talks about wanting Iowa-like consistency. It’s a business. He will go wherever he gets paid as long as it doesn’t...

I bet he would leave for Wisconsin and maybe even Nebraska.

If the Gophers had beaten UNC 45-0 then maybe, but he lost against them with an arguably better roster at home so…

I’m not sure, but if get desperate enough then they will come for Fleck so hope Minnesota is ready to fend that off.

He’s trying to install an air raid offense at Wisconsin. He needs several years to make that transition happen. Wouldn’t start celebrating yet. I still think he will fail, but it will be because Wisconsin’s consistency was 100% due to Alvarez and he’s gone. We won’t know that until he has a...

If you had asked a well informed CFB fan after the 2003 Sun Bowl who between Minnesota and Oregon was more like to win a championship in the next decade, people would have said Minnesota. Tides come and go. All it takes is a salary cap or a wealthy donor and Minnesota can do it too.

Yup, but teams also go out of their way to peak with good classes. It’s the reason that Wisconsin is so bad this year. They are finding their guys for 3 years from now. They look weak with a Sophomore QB and new offense right now. They won’t next year.

Not about the opponents like it was last year. About the team next year. Totally new offensive line (as bad as they have been, they can get worse). New QB. New receivers. Going to be a totally new offense and likely not a good one. Good season to have low expectations and just enjoy the...
