  1. Why do folks continue to do this? We can't even get to a bowl right now, have won 13 games in the last 3 years combined, and you see potential for 10-2 in 2021 with that schedule?
  2. Wasn't that 2018? Last year was S. Alabama in August.
  3. I don't want them to, and since they aren't qualified to tie shoes they shouldn't decide anything. The P5 needs to move on as a group without the NCAA.
  4. MLB hasn't been in a bubble and it isn't working well. The NHL is in a bubble and have had 0 positive tests out of 7000. That clearly works well. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/29589885/nhl-reports-no-positive-testsbubble
  5. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29594451/minnesota-receiver-rashod-bateman-opting-upcoming-football-season "Rashad played a pivotal role in helping mold the University of Minnesota into an elite Big Ten program," Fleck said.
  6. I was hopeful, but really only expected success for the NHL and NBA. Both due to the bubble model and only trying to stage tournaments and not seasons.
  7. Speed can mean footspeed or processing speed, you're right. Both can enable you to make a play faster and be a great LB.
  8. And I hope he sticks at DE, meaning we are good enough at NT without him. I'd love to see 315-330 and 6'6+ all across the line. Let them take care of the O line by themselves. Then continue to get Lavonte David type speed at LB and here we go.
  9. Please, teams will line up still to take a beating to fund their athletic departments. That isn't even a question. The question is if they can survive until then without those games this year.
  10. I wasn't at all the 90s games but this game in 2014 was both the most fun and the loudest game I've been to. Pure anger at another team from 80k.
  11. I don't get it either. I also don't understand why a spring season and a fall season is an outlandish suggestion due to wear and tear when a kid could go pro and play 16/19/22 games from September to January in the NFL. 24/26 ish games in 10 months versus 18/20 ish in 5.
  12. What else do you want us to do? Be reasonable and objective? You must be lost.
  13. Safety? World drivers: Sometimes the illusion of safety makes people do stupider things.
  14. Maybe it's just COVID-19, but it finally happened. I'm finally tired of hype videos until I see some actual improvement on the field.
  15. https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/?Conference=Big-Ten It updates all the time, Nadab is included. Still #4 in conference and #20 nationwide. However, they don't remove transfers right away so we've actually dropped nationally.
  16. What you described is admirable, and I too used to think in absolutes like that. What I had to learn was that my line of thinking was driven by my own upbringing and circumstances. I had a strong family unit and a Dad in my life who cared. You don't know what the individual situations have looked like for these kids and what their mental state is. Sticking things out or knowing they will probably get better may be a totally new concept to some, you just don't know. I won't judge a young man for this and just hope he finds a good situation for him where he can grow.
  17. I like it if we start playing some real football again. I really dislike it if we lost twice to Wisconsin and Iowa, or even the Bloomin Onions up there in the North. New trophy idea? A golden bloomin onion?
  18. Here they come, the next Clemson, proudly boasting fresh Outback bowl rings!
