Still, there is a middle ground somewhere between the past and current states of things that everyone could have agreed on, had the NCAA been willing to budge from their my-way-or-the-highway mentality.

The NCAA/the member universities are the cause of this whole situation. Being unwilling and/or unable to fix the problem of the student-athlete getting ZERO, it meant that when the courts fixed the problem, no one likes the fix.

Like I said, a terrible deal.

I guess if you're going to sell out, then SELL OUT! Only getting $30M for the football stadium naming rights was shameful then and now.

At least 1 trip to the second weekend of the tournament.

Given Fran's temper history, I'm surprised that he got fired before he had a seizure on the sideline.

All this discussion is identical to the discussion in the winter of 2006, when there was much discussion about whether or not Joel Maturi would sack Dan Monson at the end of that year. (Spoiler: Maturi wouldn't pull the trigger, and it would take until the following December and a wipeout at...

VIKINGS AND LIONS TO PLAY BIGGEST REGULAR SEASON GAME EVER!!!! 64 PAGE SPECIAL EDITION

Hence why Oregon goes off the cliff after the old man dies.

After watching a bunch of brutal games down at Camp Randall (either blowouts or lost double-digit 4Q leads), winning 3 of the last 4 there is pretty damn good. Interestingly enough, the home team has only won 2 games in the last 8, and 1 of them was behind closed doors in 2020.

It was 2011. The fracas wasn't because Badger players were chopping the goal posts. I think it's dumb, but i also understand the concept that to the Victor go the spoils. The fracas started when they ran through the gathered team, staff, and band mid-Hail to chop the post, and knocked down and...

The Gophers have won 3 of their last 4 games at Camp Randall. If you would have told me that 6 years ago I'd have told you you were crazy.

Gophers have won 3 of their last 4 at the Camp. If you would have told me that in 2016 I would have told you you were crazy.

Cleaning up the kicking game would do wonders to improve this team.

Buffalo is going to keep growing because that district is massive, and it goes east to areas of Corcoran that the buildup from Maple Grove is finally pushing into.

2007 is exactly the year. Or 2001, where both were true. Miami was heads and shoulders better than everyone else, but the #2 spot changed hands 4 or 5 times between 2:30 pm on Black Friday and the end of Championship Saturday.

This sport is cyclical. Some years, there is a clear gap between the top and the rest. Think 2005, where USC and Texas were well clear of everyone else. Some other years, it's complete chaos. This is one of the latter years.

It is indeed a Big Ten marching band thing to play the visiting team's fight song during their pregame if the visiting band wasn't present. I've heard the Rouser during band pregames in IC, AA, and Madison (inevitably done out of pace and a step too low, but still played). The year the full Ohio...

Walking out of the RB after dark towards downtown Pasadena won't be a problem. I did it twice in 2017 after U2 concerts there.

That is actually a former Pac-10 thing. All the marching bands sent basketball-sized pep bands to road football games, and occasionally the whole band coming. I know the Oregon full band was booed mercilessly when they did their full pregame and halftime at Husky Stadium in Seattle...
