    One of the best CFP semi-finals ever?

    Both games came down to the last play and were competitive mostly throughout. Texas almost pulled off a miracle comeback and Michigan did comeback. Do you agree Washington and Michigan are not in the championship game without the portal? Well, this can’t even be argued with Washington having...

    Beanie Bishop consensus all-American at WVU

    Very happy for the young man. Wish we could have kept him. In the below articles (part 1 & 2), they say he was playing here, but not full-time, which is why he left. To get to the NFL, he had to go somewhere he could get on the field more. Who woulda thunk we had a loaded CB room...

    PJ bowl winning streak at 5 and he is #1 all time for Gopher coach bowl wins.

    PJ is a good P5 coach. Can it really be argued? I'm not saying he is great, but he is good. Wouldn't the extra time coaches have available to prepare for bowl games further separate the wheat from the chaff? If he was bad, shouldn't he routinely lose bowl games when coaches have several...

    Nebraska's $450M football stadium renovation plan criticized as academic programs are cut

    This article is full of good stuff! https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39071512/nebraska-planned-450m-renovation-football-stadium-criticized "Faculty at Nebraska and nationally acknowledge the importance of athletics at a Big Ten university but said the divergent funding plans...

    The only position in sports more important than college quarterback is...NFL quarterback.

    Agree or disagree? - Michael Penix got Tom Allen paid. - Riley Leonard got Mike Elko paid. Any other examples? If good D-1 college quarterbacks were paid what they were worth, most could retire at 22! It's not quite a free market for college QBs yet, but if it ever gets there. Wowza!

    Hire a coach from FCS and pay him ~$2MM & use savings for NIL?

    I heard this on a podcast and thought it was very interesting. I think they used the example as Indiana because they are looking for a coach. Why bring another coach in at $8 million/year or whatever when you could hire a coach from FCS or group of 5 that currently makes only ~$1 million/year...

    Reason for hope next year?

    Just finished listening to Gopher Gridiron Radio podcast and while they didn't sugar coat the Michigan loss...because that's impossible, they did talk about the future. A couple things they mentioned: 1) They thought this was more of a development year for us than most. They said mid-tear...

    How do you cope with Gopher disappointment? I broaden my view to the wider B1G. You?

    1) I avoided reading this message board until today. 2) I listened to college football podcasts, not Gopher podcasts. Podcasts I like: - Eyes on B1G - Yahoo Sports: College Football Enquirer - Until Saturday - Cover 3 - Buckeye Talk (let's face it, they win a lot so I'm seldom disappointed:-))...

    How long before football completely splits off and stops paying for the non-revenue sports?

    Long term, I just can't see flying all the non-rev athletes all over the country when plenty of D-I athletes are closer by. These new conferences are not being formed to optimize opportunities for non-rev sports. These are football centered decisions. Plus, it seems highly probable that...

    Can the Big Ten win NIL?

    On average, aren't Big Ten universities wealthier? Larger endowments, more alumni, wealthier states, etc.? Shouldn't that mean there is more NIL money available on average? Some of the Pac 12 and ACC schools also have large endowments and wealthy alumni bases. I get that people say the south...
