GopherGridiron podcast said much of the reason our safeties look worse is because our corners ARE much worse. We lost a corner that would be starting in the NFL right now if he wasn't injured, another very good, experienced corner, and a big, athletic nickelback that also made an NFL roster...

That's a very good point, but I think maybe exaggerated a bit. When you're bringing in portal guys, that would seem to reduce the number of 3*s you need to "settle for". Those guys go to lower programs and portal up if they prove they are worth it. I just don't think there are enough 4*s...

I agree. I'm really not much of a fan of the NFL. It's so clearly all about the money. The more college football becomes that way, the less interest I'll have.

I don't think the Blue Bloods would negotiate a giant TV deal because the networks are smart enough to realize they'll lose 70% of their viewership immediately by ditching the also-rans. And that 70% will just be the start because a lot of the bandwagon fans that just like to jump on to a...

And why? To be the Twins to their Yankees? If the big boys aren't going to give us at least a chance to be competitive, then it's not worth it. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how all this turns out. It's like watching a train crash...or not. Who the hell knows? Someday this will be a hit...

Without the rest of us, the Blue Bloods aren't Blue Bloods anymore, they are just average teams in a semi-pro league. Why not just watch the NFL? They'll lose 70%-80% of their audience because there just aren't that many of those schools. Casual fans will toon out. What would ESPN be paying...

I agree. They need us as much as we need them. As upnorthkid said, it would be lose-lose.

I probably listen to too many national podcasts that say teams like the Gophers are begging to be kept in the Big Ten and will do whatever Michigan, Ohio State, USC and the others tell us to do. I hope that's not true. It sure isn't true for me. I'll always be a Gopher fan. I don't care if...

The Ivy League already did this and they are still considered The Ivy League! It doesn't seem to have hurt them one bit.

Oddly enough, Minnesota is Ohio State's Northwestern State so this would not be an unusual set up in the B1G.

You and everybody knows my name are so right. I would be totally fine if we lost Ohio State, Michigan and USC. It would probably be better if we could be regional again. Are we even sure these schools are pushing us around and it's not the other way around? Maybe the poor masses of the...

I like the 12 team playoff with first four selected by ranking and having byes as is currently the case, BUT would prefer MORE auto bids. I don't need to see the 4th ranked B1G or SEC team get in. If you can't even MAKE your conference title game in the P2, I'm OK if you lose your shot. Like...

Interesting, maybe we didn't offer Linder because we already have two OTs signed - Trout (MN) & Meier (WI). So I'll change my greedy take, let's just get the top 4 from MN by adding Pierce. I don't think PJ has ever done that before! That would be very Iowa like.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those "other" TEs becomes a lineman especially the guy at the bottom of our class that is already 6'6" and 230. Call me greedy, but I want five of five especially if it sets Iowa & Penn State back!

The kid is an amazing athlete. His basketball highlights are more impressive than football. He dunks a lot because it's just easy for him. It's not like he needs a runway. Watch 247 - 2nd video. Seems very quick for 6'5". Get him and Roman Voss and we'll have two tremendous, athletic...

I went to a couple games at the dome back when I was a student in the 90's. It sucked and it was BECAUSE it wasn't on campus, not because the dome was old, at least to me. I just don't think a shiny new stadium would have mattered much. You've got to have the stadium on campus. Location...

We could be catching them at a good time. The game with Iowa should be tight and physical. We'll be coming off a bye and it will be their 5th game in a row. How injured they are will matter. It will help them that it's a home game. They follow the game with us going straight into rivalry...

That is already happening. MSU played a lot of man even though Joe Rossi prefers zone. No one is afraid of our receivers.

I loved his defending his "Row the Boat" mantra at about the 3:30 mark. It's so much deeper to him than just football. It's so easy to criticize when you're not the guy trying to lead 108 young men. We get so many fly-bys on here where people don't take much time to understand things at a...

Watching his tape. He does look like a slightly below 11 second 100M guy. He does NOT look like 10.38. It must have been in a 25 mph tailwind.
