clicheuser,
There are 85 to 100 players on a team. All of those players are NOT close friends. I graduated in a class of 73 from high school and I sure didn't know what everyone was doing. A football team is no different. Some players are close others aren't.
blkn, I'm not negative, I'm honest. I pointed out it was the first game and Gatens was not there. It was against South Dakota St, not a power house. I'm sorry you can't take off your rose colored glasses and look at things honestly.
People like you find it more entertaining to bash other posters...
blkngold, I was giving an analysis of the game from someone who was there. I said they would be better with Gatens and it was the first game. What pisses me off is people like you who can't read a breakdown of a game without ripping the truth when stated. Nobody is ripping on these guys , but if...
Just walked into the house after attending the fiasco of a BB game today. I know there are other threads but here is my take.
It is going to be a long year. There simply is not much talent on this team. TL didn't leave much for Fran to work with. I know Gatens wasn't there and when he returns...
Think maybe this is an attempt to take power back from the clubs and shoe companies that sponsor many of these summer tournys? This would make the high school games more important since they would be the primary games that the coaches would see.
I don't have a problem with that. The AAU and...
Mesa, you mean its not in doubt like ISU's trip to Utah next year? Oh wait, that had been announced by ISU already, but it got canceled when the Big 12 went to 9 games.
If the Big 10 goes to 9 games and the schedules don't fit, then the Iowa - ISU game is gone. Iowa will not play less than 7...
The Iowa/ISU discussion was very brief considering it was Iowa/ISU. We know the game was one sided, but it still should have been the main topic the entire show. They never even mentioned it during the entire first hour.
intimidator, most women bring bags, people take water (allowed), people have binoculars. All those things are now searched, not in the lines marked " items to be searched" but in another unmarked line with only a couple of rent-a-cops.
Iowa has one ally in this. At least if you go by what they have said. That would be NE. I know they are the new kids on the block so they may not have much power, but everything TO has said indicates they want Iowa as their natural rival. They don't have a natural rivalry with anyone else.
I...
All schools recruit Texas. It depends on your connections from Texas. When Fry was our coach we recruited down there all the time. We still do to a lesser extent.
As far as the Big East, that is so far fetched it's laughable. The Big East schools don't have the fans to support a big enough TV...
Why does anyone think you are going to have protected rivals in the opposite division? The Big Ten has never said that. They said rivalries will be considered, but a protected rival in a different division doesn't make sense.
In a 9 game schedule you have 5 division games and 4 out of...
Sorry I don't. I'm in the advertising business and we get industry reports. I have heard TV execs talking on the radio a couple of different times saying the same thing. It isn't a secret. There were reports all over the place when the contract was renewed that NBC wasn't doing very well with...
rocky,
NBC has new owners and don't confuse a pr release with facts. There have been several reports that NBC loses money on the deal and that the new owners may be looking to end the contract when it comes up. Also it has been reported the contract signed 2 years ago was at basically the same...
Come on craig. The Big Ten wouldn't take a hit by not playing ND. Quit over blowing ND's appeal. The facts are that they are very close to losing their NBC deal. There is a lot of talk that NBC loses a ton on it and probably wont renew.
That is one stupid article. So this joker thinks we should just open up the check books and let these guys get the money. I rarely agree with Colin Cowherd, but yesterday he really went off on this. Surprisingly he is NOT in favor of paying athletes. As he pointed out, they are already getting...
Why should we root for these kids once they go to school somewhere else? I don't hate them or anything, but as a Hawk fan I don't owe them my support either. Once they commit to another school they become our competitor. I don't wish them any more or less good fortune than I do any other Badger...
