    Drop Your Way-Too-Early B1G Standings Predictions HERE

    Actually, I agree with you, I think the new DC will likely solve the scheme issues. And as I said, they have to take care of the trench warfare, if they solve that problem they could be scary. They play at Minn, at Mich, at Maryland. Sorry I know this is your board, but they could win all three...

    Drop Your Way-Too-Early B1G Standings Predictions HERE

    USC could be scary good next year. This is assuming they can solve defensive problems and I think they made a good hire at DC. If they take care of the trench warfare, they will win a lot of games.

    Drop Your Way-Too-Early B1G Standings Predictions HERE

    If Oregon and Ohio St are undefeated when they meet at Autzen that will likely be a Game Day Game. Autzen will be overflowing, I think they normally are averaging 102% of capacity and I'm sure for Ohio St they'll find a way to get a few extra thousand standing room only people in Autzen. I'm...

    Drop Your Way-Too-Early B1G Standings Predictions HERE

    That means Oregon has to beat Ohio St at home, Wisconsin and Mich on the road. Plus Washington at home. Hard to win all four of those games in one year. Additionally, that means sweeping the rest of the schedule without a hickup. This kind of prediction is way to early.

    Drop Your Way-Too-Early B1G Standings Predictions HERE

    I think Iowa and Northwestern are too high. USC, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois are too low. I'd probably move MSU up a slot, Rutgers down a bit. Nebraska might finish higher. Not sure UCLA is low enough with all the changes.

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    UCLA better take who they can get at this point. Not a whole lot of good things going on with UCLA football. I personally think it's a very difficult job without enough support from the Alumni. People on the West Coast have always had a strong interest in Fleck as a head coach, so if UCLA puts...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    The only problem with that is when someone says take the Santa Monica to the Anaheim and go north.

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Actually, it's LA more than California. My wife lived in the Santa Monica area for a number of years, she understands the dialect. We joke about it. And no, I doubt that google uses it. LOL. Still it's fun to hear. Just confusing if you don't expect it. Where ever you go in the US you will find...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Quick illustration: I googled Rose Bowl to Santa Monica (basically the beach) and the easy answer is 27 miles. However, I saw driving time estimates from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Reality is probably 45-50 minutes. Traffic in LA can be crazy at times. Also, when they give directions in LA they...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    I stayed at the RitzCarlton Pasadena for a week back in the late 90s. I had a Cottage Suite, just beautiful, great hotel!! It's called the Langham now, not sure what it costs, probably pretty spendy, but if you want a luxurious experience and if this is anything close to what it was like when I...

    Week #13 Field of 68 projection with a focus on "record vs. the field"

    Yea, my Ducks are struggling a lot with injuries right now and all season for that matter. If they get healthy and finish strong they will get in, but that's a big "if" right now. Altman's teams traditionally start slow and finish strong, so I still have hope.

    Michigan St. Tuesday

    Why "Wednesday" and Saturday? Why not Thursday and Saturday? Wednesday makes it a long trip with plenty of dead time, it's only about an hour flight from Seattle to Eugene.

    The Athletic: Ranking Big Ten football transfer portal (10. Minnesota)

    Given that Oregon is on a quarter system, I'm curious how you think this impacts portal transfers.

    Who is Everyones Other Team?

    Anyone playing the Huskies, probably Oregon State the most. Especially since they got left out in the cold during the conference reshuffle.

    Miami TE Cam McCormick granted ninth year of eligibility

    He does have his bachelors and masters degrees. He's always struck me as a good person, I believe he has a hearing problem that he's had to overcome as well. He's just had a ton of injuries, without those I think he'd be playing on Sundays.

    All Things Weather

    Got our first snow of the year yesterday. Not much about an inch, followed by around a quarter of an inch of freezing rain. Stopped most everything here in Eugene. Current temp at 10 am is 22 F. Should be over by Wednesday. Then back in the 50s. Women's basketball game is still going to be...

    Who will replace Saban?

    The difference between your trip and the Gophers trip is that they will be on a charter and I think it's a little over one hour flight from Minneapolis to Bloomington. That's a very short flight.

    Who will replace Saban?

    I think this mileage thing is way over played. Before I retired, I'd fly from PDX to Newark, leaving my office at noon, catch a 1 pm flight arrive in Newark around 9:30PM. Next day I'd have 9 am, 11am, 1pm and 3 pm meetings in Manhattan, then I'd catch a 6 PM flight out of Newark back to...

    Why does Minnesota not have a Bowl Game?

    https://weather.com/travel/news/2023-11-22-worst-weather-airports-us Thought that perhaps a little update on worst airports for weather delays would be appropriate here, especially since someone is using a Fox service as some sort of authority. I see Dallas Fort Worth made the bottom 10 list...
