    Who else is optimistic about the 2024 season?

    6 wins is the best case scenario but unlikely: N. Carolina-Toss Up. Rebuilding after Maye and the wandering WR. RI-Win Nevada-Win Iowa-Loss. Adding the QB back into the mix and a competent OC to go with their recent defensive prowess will make them tough. Michigan-Loss USC-Loss UCLA-Toss...

    Zach Evans to Enter the Portal

    I read an article this morning on how the transfer portal and NIL are depleting the talent level at the Group of 5 level. Interesting read. In the comments, a person who said he was the father of a college football player who had used the portal was calling for a new lawsuit which would seek...

    De-Commit from De-Commit

    It would be sincere and it would demonstrate a legitimate rationale for failing to follow through on his original commitment. Refreshing honesty and accountabililty.

    De-Commit from De-Commit

    As an example: I would be fine with the Pretzlaff kids announcement if he had said something like, "This was a difficult decision because I really liked the people at Minnesota and I was excited about being a part of their program but when I committed it was largely about the opportunity to...

    De-Commit from De-Commit

    The issue is not kids having a choice. It's the practice of committing to reserve a space while knowing that they are going to keep their options open. And then, when they do find a better option sliding out of their first commitment through the use of a popular euphemism and the obligatory...

    De-Commit from De-Commit

    Can we use our time constructively and start a campaign to end the use of the term "de-commit"? Much like the phrase "my bad" which deflections responsibility and fails to actually apologize for the harm one person causes to another, the phrase "de-commit" deflects from the act of failing to...

    The dichotomy in a pro sports town

    I wavered on Louisville. That's what the question mark was about. You're right. They don't belong. I got my capitols mixed up and gave them credit for being a capitol city. (But, if we are counting capitol cities, add Kentucky and mark them as bad to average of late) Utah is probably...

    The dichotomy in a pro sports town

    I think you are missing my point here. I was saying that for the first half of their existence the Seahawks were irrelevant. And, the NFL wasn't the dominant societal force it is today. The previously established UW football program was not losing fan interest to the pro team. When the...

    The dichotomy in a pro sports town

    Michigan is not in a major city. Ann Arbor is a unique college town 45-60 minutes outside of the city center. (That until recently people avoided) And, Michigan has been a dominant program since the early 20th century. Colorado is 40 minutes outside of Denver in an affluent college town...

    The dichotomy in a pro sports town

    The pro sports town thing is real. It shows up in a variety of ways all over the place: First, the double standard between the Gophers and the Vikings. Particularly in the media. If you turn on the local sports in June the lead story is the Vikings while the Gophers often don't get a feature...
