    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    It doesn't really matter whether Ben can coach or not. The bottom line is that he didn't get results here, for whatever the reasons, and now his image in this market is too tainted to draw NIL money. If he really does have a future as a head coach he will succeed elsewhere and I hope that...

    Carson Beck's Cars Stolen (Mercedes and Lamborghini)

    Never considered this perspective until now but high-end thives will probably be the real beneficiaries of NIL.

    Which of these looks from Minnesota last season was your favorite?

    Here I was all set to say single back w/ double tight ends.

    MN HS Basketball 2024-25 Season thread

    I only saw the highlights on twitter but from what I saw, #3 from Hopkins immediately went to the Wayzata bench after the missed shot to taunt them. Perhaps the Wayzata coach felt like he was preventing a fight by not doing handshakes, and if that was his reason then I would support that...

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

    Agree 100% You can't put in punishments for getting injured (faking or not) and still claim to care about player's physical health. This is going to lead to players staying in the game and trying to play through injuries, especially concussions. I am coming from a blatantly biased...

    Pros and Cons with the new playoff system

    I like the idea of hosting the first round at some home fields, but if future results continue like it did this year then I have to wonder what the point is. One obvious problem is Boise & ASU being 3 & 4. This pushed the actual 3 & 4 teams down to 5 & 6, and hosting home game in the first...

    CFP Title Game Draws 22 Million Viewers, Down 12% From Last Year

    I don't know if it counts, but I watched on the Skyview channel so I didn't have to listen to Chris Folwer. Best decision I've ever made.

    Baltimore going for 2 in the 3rd quarter comes back to bite them. Never go for 2 in the 3rd quarter, unless you are so far behind that you need multiples of 8s to catch up. Too much game is left. Getting tired of posting this.

    Was he injured? I admit I don't watch a lot of Penn State... but the announcers were talking about how great his arm is, however he rarely went downfield in this game and when he tried he was mostly terrible. 1 INT plus two more on lob balls overturned by penalty. If I'm reading the box...

    It's pretty hard to be critical of KOC at all, but he seemed oblivious to Darnold's struggles tonight. KOC should have dialed things back with more runs and short/quick passes to get Darnold into a better rhythm, but he just kept dialing up more long pass plays. It's like telling a batter who...

    This is the story of the game. If our offensive has a weakenss it's pass protections. Detroit did everything they could to exploit this, and they did by getting all kinds of pressure on Darnold, and we consistently responded with... long-developing passing plays. We just kept sending Darnold...

    The NCAA is considering allowing five years of eligibility for players in all sports moving forward, per an NCAA official.

    I predicted this more than once. Who is the NCAA to say how long someone can play college athletics? College is turning into another pro League. The logical step of the future will be for non-students to be allowed to play.
