    Still no B10 divisions...

    18 teams hanging on a thread. They really have no respect for fans. TV money is everything.

    Nebraska may cancel Spring game

    Despite drawing 75 to 90k fans who pay for tickets, Nebraska may cancel their popular spring game because of portal poaching by other coaches watching the game on TV!

    All four playoff winners were on home field

    Plus three of the four games were icebox games. Move these early games to bowls in warmer areas and have an even field of play for both teams. There are 50+ bowls - lots to choose from, doesn't matter if they are unknown.

    Is Taylor injured?

    Anyone know? It happened near the end of the game.

    Wish we could see the Warmath uniforms again...

    They looked terrific Saturday - and the amazing thing is how modern they still look. When they were adopted in the '50s, they were considered very cutting edge, clean-looking, modern. And they still do!

    Gophers 5th in total defense nationally

    Maryland way down in defense, but 35th in total offense, while Gophers are 116th in total offense. Penn State and Indiana 6th and 7th in total defense.

    Nebraska is back...

    Nebraska's million dollar freshman QB, Dylan Raiola, was as good as advertised, hitting 19 of 27 for 238 yards and two TDs, playing two and a half quarters. Matt Rhule built his defense last year - 11th in the nation despite a losing record - and put in his offense this year: the Huskers finally...

    Nebraska Spring Game

    60,000 turned out to watch wunderbar QB Dylan Raiola complete 16 of 22 passes for 240 yards and two TDs. He's living up to the hype - definitely can throw the long ball accurately. The back-up QBs looked good, too. With an easier schedule, Huskers could win eight games this year. They benefited...

    Are changes to portal possible?

    Federal court decisions are further mucking up the NIL situation as far as the NCAA is concerned, but could the NCAA return to the one year sit-out for transfers? That would go a long way toward reducing the anarchy we see in college football today.

    So happy for Cole and Darius!

    Kramer hit only 50%, but threw for two TDs and ran for one. Darius had 208 yards at six per carry, which is gold standard territory. Nubin looked good in relief and the defense kept the Gophers in the kind of game they don't like, a wild passing attack. Kramer's 50% included some unwise Hail...

    Change in the air for Nebraska...

    Nebbie recruiting: loaded up on defensive backs, receivers, tight ends, O linemen to go with Dylan Raiola at QB.

    Playoff could have used 8 teams this year

    GA should be in - a travesty to keep it out. FL State fans screaming, and how about Ohio St, lost only to #1 Michigan by 6 pts? Eight would have accommodated them all, plus TX and Oregon. But next year's arrangement looks weird: 12 teams that include the Power 5 champions whatever their rank or...

    Who will QB in the bowl game?

    Cole? Nobody from the portal. Sounds like a real problem. Will PJ keep it a secret until game time?

    Dragan Kesich joins Tyler Nubin as first team all conference

    Jackson makes second team, along with Ersery. Honorable mention for Justin Walley, Carroll, Boe, Spann-Ford and Darius Taylor.

    NY Times says one Mich St. player being paid $750,000 a year by boosters

    In a full page Sunday Oct. 22 article, the New York Times, in a huge story, investigated the new charity-connected "collectives," that enroll players in phony charitable activity (such as posting one Tweet or other social notice a month), in a play-for-pay scheme disguised as NIL. Combined with...

    For how many years an 18-team league without divisions?

    The B10 must have plans for some kind of divisions, perhaps contingent on even more new members. Why can't they keep the East-West in the meantime? For balance, add Southern Cal, Washington and Oregon to the West, UCLA to the East, and slide Illinois over to the East. You can't get more "west"...

    Gophers in NCAA stats for half a season

    127th in passing (when have we seen that before?), 40th in rushing. Developing a reliable passing game has been a problem for decades.

    Will have to have divisions in B10

    A list of 18 teams doesn't make a conference - imagine the enthusiasm fans will have being 11th of 18 teams. Adding four genuine powers from the Pacific Coast will just push teams like Minnesota, Purdue, Northwestern probably Nebraska, into the also-rans. If the Gophers couldn't win the West...
