Sooooo.....expect 5-6 inches of snow and windy?

Still a great ending

True, but in defense of the hometown team, we have had a pretty good streak of quality coaches. Glen Mason got it started, Brewster was the blip, but then Kill transformed us into a team that wouldn't lose to DII schools. Claeys and Fleck both inherited good teams that weren't coming off of...

Totally agree. I think that a lot of fans feel cheated in some way, but most people know that Ohio State is the best team to represent the East. It makes sense, and luckily the Big Ten wasn't so rigid that they couldn't admit that a change needed to be made to the rules.

A_Slab_of_Bacon beat me to it. The 2020 season has been an asterisk season from the start. There are many ways that the Big Ten could have handled this better. One additional way would have been to flatly state that with all the craziness of covid and the muffed start, they reserved the right to...

A fair point. I probably shouldn't have stretched Purdue up there, but did toss in a qualifier by putting maybe in italics! Great analysis. Numbers never lie.

As is always the case in the absence of strong leadership, lower level leaders are forced into action which can lead to bigger problems. The NCAA could take control of the reins in college sports to control costs, promote as many sports as possible, and help ensure equity between genders...

You'd better make sure that it's not just Derek Zoolander and Hansel calling...

I'm not sure that we have any better depth than the East division. Casting aside the crazy year of 2020, the East has three perennially good teams in Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. In the second tier are teams that are 50/50 in any given year to be good, which I would put Michigan State...

Captain Morgan Strikes Again!

Different situation but similar in some respects to what cost Tracy Claeys his job. The players felt one way and the administration felt another. Claeys tried his best to walk the line but ended up losing his job. Not an easy situation. Orgeron might not have understood the level to which his...

I heard the announcers talk about Michigan's coach pushing his guys not just to play, but to earn the right to wear their Michigan sweaters (something like that). For the rest of the game, all I saw were Gophers out-hustling Michigan to the puck. Up four goals and our guys still were pushing...

You could see that Lafontaine was mad at himself at the end of the game. He knew that he had a shutout in hand. To be honest, that was all that I needed to see. A kid that young pushing himself towards perfection is a good sign. He's got the mental side.

I stand corrected.

I am not disagreeing that the lack of off-season and pre-season didn't hurt the Gophers, the point is that it was a handicap across the board for all teams. All teams had to deal with this. You're right about the 2017 and 2018 classes. The reality is that we have to look at why the coaching...

Obviously you're not a golfer. ...actually, neither am I. However, golfers lose their swing and it happens in football too. I didn't specifically blame Morgan, that was brought out in your response. All that I'm saying is that the deep ball isn't working. It could be Morgan, the WRs, the...

You don't need urgency on offense to come back from one or two scores down unless it's the 4th quarter. You need urgency on defense to get the ball back. Our best offensive asset right now is Ibrahim. Unless we are running out of time at the end of the game, this negative script stuff is...

First off, I don't buy anyone's excuse about the lack of summer practice and non-conference schedule. All teams had to deal with those. The reality is that some teams handled it better and some did not. Secondly, as others have stated, the 2019 players should be ready to go whether they had...

I've got just the thing:
