    Minnesota Vs. New Mexico - Rate Bowl - Media Predictions

    Bowl season predictions, let's go. ESPN sides with New Mexico, 24-20 When it comes to outsized coaching personalities, few bowl matchups will deliver better than Jason Eck (New Mexico) and P.J. Fleck (Minnesota). Eck, a former Wisconsin lineman who is familiar with Minnesota from his playing...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    I was a little disappointed at first glance seeing New Mexico but after looking at their schedule and performance, I'm more OK with it. If it's against a better G5 team, that's fine in my view. As for the destination, I think Las Vegas would have been better, but Rate > Pinstripe at least. Fun...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    The championship loss itself isn't bad to me. But I look at it as how they lost, and it adding to two other losses, one of those being to a poor Florida State group. If this had been just their second loss of the season, I get it. But a third loss, and it being a blowout, is a black spot on the...

    Who should be in the 12 team playoffs?

    Three loss Alabama getting in is insane to me.

    We now own the longest conference championship drought in Big 10 football

    I think the conference title game makes this era even more difficult. If the Gophers had made the Big Ten Championship Game in 2014, 2019 or 2022, I don't know if they're beating those Ohio State or Michigan teams. Best opportunity was during the split championship era and unfortunately...

    Would be cool to see PItt Vs. Penn State. That game should happen yearly. See if the powers that be want it to happen. I know there were years Texas and Texas A&M were in the Big 12 and SEC respectively, both eligible for similar post season play, and the latter wanted to avoid the Longhorns in...

    I agree. It's odd to have a public university system like that be D3 rather than D2. Most of MNSCU is D2 along with most other U campuses. During the NAIA days I know MSUM would have some games against the likes of Wisconsin Stout, Eau Claire, etc, so it's not like they haven't competed with...

    The rules regarding storming the field and/or court

    I'll admit sometimes it feels unnecessary. Against No. 25 Nebraska seems a little bit much. However, I think it has a lot of correlation with the related catharsis of a win. Rushing the field on a night of beating the Badgers at home after a couple tough losses and celebrate with the axe? It's...

    I don't necessarily think Brian Kelly would be the worst hire for Penn State at this point. The only downside with him is probably his age at 64. But in terms of results, he's had success everywhere he's gone. Through Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati and Notre Dame, Kelly has...
