is it better than the Gopher men's basketball team scoring 20 points in the first half against 4-9 Fairleigh Dickinson?

Penn State is blowing up the undefeated ACC regular season champs. That has to count for the Big Ten, who also has mid-tier teams (Minnesota, USC) that gave Penn State a totally even game for 60 minutes.

TNT is good enough for the NCAA Basketball Championship Game, so it's good enough for CFP round 1. I admit it's weird to have a network that doesn't broadcast regular season games covering playoff games, even though this is a ESPN crew. It was weird 15-20 years ago when Fox only broadcast the...

I hope this helps people stop shitting on Indiana and the Big Ten. SMU would lose to IU and Penn State is thrashing a team that went undefeated in the ACC regular season. I still like it because this is what a 12 team playoff is supposed to do - give flawed 2nd tier teams having special...

I think Fleck's just a good salesman who's good at getting guys to sign and not keep endlessly deciding between programs. He's a closer. We see this from how the Gophers often build numbers fast in both high school and transfer recruiting. I think if the Gophers had more glitz and glam and...

A push or perhaps a gain. Similar level of experience and time to play. Only an OL coach watching film could really evaluate. Tafai seemed to have broader high-level interest, while Daniels was an Ohio guy with interest only from Ohio State that we know of.

Minnesota should consider becoming a transfers-mostly program. Consider that the state has limited high school talent, the Gophers are perched right in the P4 middle where they can get a flow of up, down, and lateral moves along the recruiting hierarchy. It's also a city environment with many...

Finally got bit after winning the Minnesota game with a bunch of 4th and short gambles.

Indiana had a plain old loss to a pumped-up top 5 team on the road. I don't know why they are being treated as some kind of joke. There have been far more lopsided games in the history of 2 and 4 team championship setups. There's a lot of talking heads calling Indiana the worst team in...

Holy shit there's long snapping camp now. Just when I thought there might be a few niches that weren't corporatized and systemized, they tell me about long snapping camp and I realize there's no more backyard anythings left.

Both my parents went to Indiana and my dad is one of those dual IU/Notre Dame fans. He's pulling for Indiana since they don't get this chance very often. So am I.

How did Minnesota not get Alex Wollschläger? He sounds like he belongs lining up next to Beers.

P4 programs might use this to create farm teams of post-grad players getting 2 free years of development, then starting as a 21 year old freshman and playing until age 25. This could be appealing for good but not sure thing, freshman starter prospects who may end up as professional college...

Every player who wants to enter the NFL must declare for the NFL Draft, so I suppose he's announcing that. He played 4 full seasons after 2020 so he's not NCAA eligible for 2025. Unless this is supposed to imply that he's not playing in the Mayo Bowl. I hope he is.

It's becoming like corporations hiring employees, because it is now. Mostly hiring proven production with a small 2 year development program for the top up and comers.

I thought he was already a senior and obligated to go, but I think it's the right choice for him. Vikings could use some secondary help...

Minnesota is really good at getting early commitments under Fleck. In both high school and portal recruiting, the Gophers typically jump out from the pack with high numbers early in the cycle.

I am surprised it hasn’t happened yet. Some like Colorado have done mostly portal recruiting but I am surprised we haven’t seen a program flat-out drop high school recruiting. I think the school that does it first will have a profile like Minnesota (or Colorado). Mid-tier P4 that can harvest...

This is all speedrunning to the place I've thought it would end up for a couple years. "College" football ending eligibility limits and ending up an existential threat to the NFL.
