The kid should never kick another ball for us.I think he’s 3/13 from 40 plus in his career.

Hear! Hear!I consider myself bent out of shape right now. When do we start winning national championships?
All sports.In what sport?
Ohio University both scored more and allowed fewer points than the Gophers.Grambling put up more yards on offense than the Gophs. Let that sink in when pondering the offensive gameplan of Fleck & Co.
I’d take that betMaybe Northwestern but no one else. 4 wins.
SHOCK. THE. WORLD.
That is the objective, that is the opportunity. Put this program on the fn map with a win at The Shoe, on national prime time TV, under the lights. It happens, not often, but it does happen. It may take a perfect game from us and an abysmal game from them, but why not us, why not now?
Can't play 3 yards and cloud of dust. Can't get FGs inside the 10. Can't turn the ball over. Have to take their big play punches and a couple of bad calls from the officials. We must overcome it all. We must be perfect. But I believe.

GET 'ER DONE FLECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you want them to risk injury to Lindsay in a meaningless spot? They probably should have put the backup in but it was pretty pointless either way.With the ball and 3 minutes left, PJ runs out the clock with running plays, making no serious effort to score?????
I noticed 74 on a play where the OSU DL went right around him ... absolutely zero punch. Zero arm extension.Our 74 was getting killed on the offensive line all night. I was surprised we could not get any pressure on the defense line. I like the future for Lindsey but OL and DL look bad and I don't see a path forward without some serious upgrades from the portal in the next year. Is it time to change OL coach?
Added: DT on fourth and one from a shotgun. Stopping before the line looking for a hole? There hasn't been a hole in three years put your head down and run hard!
Killing a drive that is moving well against a team we have the talent to match up straight up with is fundamentally different than pulling out the stops against a team that is light years ahead of you when you need to do something to try something unconventional to tilt the field in your favor.We tried that with Cal by doing a trick play with Koi and everyone lost their minds. I get the emotionality associated with our team losing but there needs to be a bit of a reality check.
If Cal blows up your trick play, do you think it'll really be effective against a team two tiers above them? I don't know. I choose not to get long term upset about anything that happened last night. There were two different teams on the field and no in game coaching was going to alter that fundamentally.Killing a drive that is moving well against a team we have the talent to match up straight up with is fundamentally different than pulling out the stops against a team that is light years ahead of you when you need to do something to try something unconventional to tilt the field in your favor.
The may sum up my frustration with PJ'S in game coaching. He is systematically too conservative, but then recklessly aggressive at bizarre times. It really feels like the game moves too fast for him and his in game decision-making doesn't reflect all of the factors that should be informing the decision.
Besides media revenue, where do you think the money comes from to pay the players?It should not be on the fans to play the players' salaries, any more than it is in the NFL !!!
$20.5M will largely be paid for at each Big Ten school by the increase in the conference's TV deal.Besides media revenue, where do you think the money comes from to pay the players?
Let's suppose there is a hard cap, do you really think that will stop wealthy hardcore boosters at blue blood schools from throwing bags of money at the top players? I don't see it happening.$20.5M will largely be paid for at each Big Ten school by the increase in the conference's TV deal.
It's that simple, for me.
Again, I'm not talking about 3rd party NIL ... but also again, if it were up to me that would be all shut down and only school revenue sharing (whatever you want to call it) would be allowed.
Hard cap, as is done in the NFL and what makes that the greatest league in this country and possibly the world.
To get to a true hard cap would probably require a collective bargaining agreement, and at that point I think you could negotiate in the contracts that they are not allowed to accept extra payments.Let's suppose there is a hard cap, do you really think that will stop wealthy hardcore boosters at blue blood schools from throwing bags of money at the top players?
