I think that also fits in the playing time narrative. If a kid believes he was under-recruited, he may choose a program where he is going to see the field early in his career and hopefully perform at a level that will entice higher-level programs to seek him out as a transfer. In the current...

Can't prove the negative, but Johnson may have had a tournament team if Christie, Payne, and Hawkins had stuck around. To your other point, Medved has a much stronger track record than Johnson did and also has a more firm idea of the system he wants to run. My point about Wisconsin is that...

One of the things Wisconsin has done is keep most of their core guys around for four years. Some of that is changing with the advent of NIL but they built and maintained their system with consistency and commitment to a style of play. Medved doesn't have the luxury of a team that has played...

This can probably be absorbed into the Other Games thread as that takes shape over the next few days, but I've been watching the MIami (O)/Ohio game and that level of football looks like it's in a different universe than that of the Power Conferences. Teams look so slow.

Thanks for the synopsis. I was hoping to find the game either online or on the tube, but after checking in here I realized I would have to pay to watch and given the opposition I decided to forego the investment. It's obviously going to be an interesting year and at least out of the gate the...

Chuckie baby! Chuck baby! I hear you bought a new boat. I heard you got a small dinghy.

It's not just Raiola. It seems that every announcer is channeling the late Harry Caray with the over-the-top superlatives and/or histrionics on just about every play. A few years ago, I figured out that the entire sports universe and jockocracy had turned into professional wrestling.

PJ and his first wife did lose a child, so this hits home for him. All involved in setting this up did a wonderful job of providing comfort after a horrific experience.

Looks like we have an obvious candidate to run the Jett Sweep.

Pretty much where I am at. Northwestern has always been this somewhat odd team in that they look like plodders, but play faster than they look. Their RB1 looks pretty good, so D will have to step up there. Stone is a gamer at QB but he looks to be more grit than raw talent. The Wildcats look...

Cashman is just irrepressible. What a motor! Could see it when he played for the Gophers.

And I'm seeing this.

Thanks for the correction. Things slide off my ever-smoothening brain with much ease at my advanced age.

Rough. First time being bowl-eligible in a bit and then this happens,

Anyone who thought the Gophers were going to win 10 games this season has spent too much time with Jonathan Yuhas.

He wasn't recruited by anyone else either. The problem here is that Fleck (and Kill before him for that matter) has an RB1 mentality and that guy is fed the ball over and over again. Fleck doesn't seem to understand the concept of load management.

I used to gripe about Limegrover's Pop Warner passing game and it seems he is somehow teleporting into the Gophers' offensive planning sessions. I think your point regarding Lindsey's inexperience is valid, but this group of receivers leaves a lot to be desired. One thing that we all have to...

I have the same exact thoughts. Wisconsin and Iowa were the models when Fleck took over here. Their model then was recruit O-linemen, get them into the system, and then have a plug-and-play mentality. Things have gone south at Wisconsin with the change in approach and it's important to...

Partly cloudy with a 75% chance of getting hammered used to be my favorite forecast back in my wild youth.
