It's often the little things that scream fundamentals and bb IQ. In the Pitt game, on Pitt's last possession with the lead, Jamarious Burton dribbled to the top of the key. Hugely, their stud center, came up the lane and looked like he was going to set a pick. But as Burron started to drive...

You missed Wisconsin - 11. Iowa - 4, but their most recent transfer out was their 3rd string QB who was a 4* out of TX. Left them with only three scholarship QBs on their roster right now.

Iowa chokes in the red zone and misses a chip shot FG. Michigan scores on a 60 yard TD run. Given iowa's putrid offense, this game may have already been decided.

I agree that in many ways Kill did more for U sports off the field than on it with his fundraising for the Athletic Village. But he was given the opportunity to continue that work when he quit coaching, and he said "No thanks." So this seems weird though I can't put my finger on it as to...

Ferentz is on schedule to pass Amos Alonzo Stagg next year and move into 3rd place on the list for most career B1G wins. I think the iowa coaching staff is a pretty smug group. But no matter how you slice it, that's pretty impressive for Cap'n Kirk. And no, I'm not a hawkeye fan.

As Bob and others have pointed out, Sanford's offense did not seem to play to Tanner's strengths. I recall that when PJ was hired he said he wants QBs who are "decisive," i.e., don't hesitate with the pre-snap read, and don't hesitate when making your throw, which hopefully sets your WRs up for...

I had forgot about the quarter taps at Bullwinkles!! Thanks for the reminder. I spent wayyyyyyy too many nights there. But the parking situation got to be a real b!tch. After my car got towed one night, I spent more time at Dick Tracy's, on Franklin, which is now Tracy's Saloon I believe.

I think it's fair to say that each one-game improvement in a team's record is more difficult to achieve. By that I mean it's far easier to bump a team's record from 4-8 up to 5-7, than it is to bump a team's record from 8-4 up to 9-3. The former only requires you to beat some also-ran team...

On Monday over the lunch hour, I walked into a foodcourt in downtown St. Paul. There were only 7 people sitting there, but two of the guys were wearing Gopher sweatshirts. That's something I'm not used to seeing. About a month ago I was walking in Target while wearing a gopher jacket and a...

No, thank you! Your posts on this point so far have brought several smiles to my face.

So you've given yourself the easy "job" of raining on everyone's joy in the limited success Ben's team has had, a team that's been in place for what, 8 months? That is ascinating. This board is a never ending source of entertainment for me.

I'm in the distinct minority--I gave them an A because A- wasn't an option. The grade is based on my preseason/early season expectations. Some background at the time. Pro Football Focus had Mo on its 1st team preaseason squad, in fact they had him as the #1 player in the B1G overall. CAB was...

Preach! Lots of gems from back then. Mannix was pretty good, Rockford Files theme song was great. Mod Squad is still my favorite theme song.

Oddly enough, I could envision this year's team giving any of Pitino's teams fits in a mythical matchup.

Starting with the 2019 NFL draft, the College Football News website has compiled scores for schools--7 points for a first round pick, 6 points for a second round pick, etc. I killed some time adding up the scores for B1G West teams, mostly to see how delusional husker fans are when they claim...

You're forgetting the psychology of the pessimistic fan. If Fleck is successful, EG#9 gets to enjoy that success--certainly not as much as optimistic Gopher fans, but he still comes out ahead. If Fleck isn't successful, EG#9 can console himself that he "was right all along," thereby cutting...

Fun speculation to be sure. But OSU's loss to Oregon limits how high they can be ranked. If MSU beats OSU and PSU, Ihowever, I think a 12-0 MSU has a good chance of jumping all the way up to #2 in the rankings. The Gophers beating MSU in the CCG And MSU beating OSU has the added benefit of...

Now we know the inspiration for the anthracite jerseys.

The Gopher offense was more reliant on the downfield passing game in 2019. I'm convinced the worsening weather conditions negatively impacted the Gopher's passing game in the 2019 wisconsin game, and contributed to the loss. We seem better suited to moving the ball in bad weather this year...

I saw The Tubes play at the Orpheum back in the day, every song ended with at least two gals dancing in go-go boots.
