Fleck is going to do well and be gone in 2-3 years, or he's going to flame out, Howard Dean style. Either way, The Gophers will need another new coach before 2020.

I've been waiting for this article to get published. I'll read it today. One thing to remember is that CTE isn't caused by just concussions. Repeated blows to the head, sub-concussive hits are mostly to blame. Avoiding concussions doesn't mean you are avoiding CTE. Such a tragic story.

Les Miles is 63 years old. He'd rather take a job somewhere he'll inherit a roster he can step in and win with right away.

Going 13-0 at Directional Michigan U is not a guarantee that he'll succeed at Minnesota, or anywhere else. I won't be heartbroken if/when Iowa replaces Ferentz, but jumping at an "up and coming" coach fails more often than not.

I don't see attrition as that big of a problem. Iowa brings in a lot of 2-3 star guys who don't get developed into contributors. Those guys should be encouraged to transfer, rather than taking up scholarships that could go to someone else. This sort of thing happens everywhere. As for guys...

I think Wadley's best chance for success at the next level is returning punts and kicks. Maybe he can be an effective third down back in the right offense. He has the skills but not the size to be a feature back in the NFL. If he's considered a top 5 back now, he should go. He's not going to...

I'm shocked that Mitchell still has eligibility remaining. It seems like he should be 25 by now.

Yeah, because there's a lot of shame in finishing a season 11/12-2 and finishing ranked in the top 10. And the 2003 Orange Bowl was tied at halftime, 10-10.

The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie: (a) If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative. (b) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 6 will be followed until a...

You must be young, because obviously Kirk Ferentz has turned into Tom Davis. Just about everyone hated Steve Alford. Mostly the people who are never satisfied with anything hated Mr. Davis.

We toyed with a bad team the whole day except for a 10 minute stretch we played the backups and were killing clock. Yeah, the starters came back in.....so what? if we played the starters the whole game and won 56-14, then we risk players getting hurt and the backups don't get much experience -...

You guys are idiots. When you're up big, you put in the reserves to get them experience for next year. Our backups aren't very good at the moment, so Purdue gets a few meaningless scores. We aren't going to lose this game. Stop being whiny crybabies.

The whole quote puts that into better context. Q. Backups are always popular after losses. You look at a depth chart, and you see a fifth-year senior, Anthony Gair, at safety, and people are wondering what’s he not doing to be on the field. How close is he to being on the field? COACH FERENTZ...

Coaches have to put their players in a position to succeed. Dabo does that very well.

Beth Mowins is a competent but boring play-caller. Not much personality, but she seems to know her stuff. She's light years ahead of Pam Ward, though. Pam was a complete train wreck in the booth.

Obvious call, and a cheap shot by Jewell. He should know better. Good thing we won't really need him today.

I don't think either will succeed in the NBA. But given a choice, I'd take Niang. Georges plays much better with the game on the line than Jarrod.

Uthoff has a really unique skill set, but he's neither strong enough or explosive enough to succeed in the NBA, in my view. He's not fast enough to keep up with the 3s and not strong enough to play a 4. He'll make good money playing in Europe, though.

Looks like Brad participated in (paid for?) some Jaguar promotion to make a video starring himself.

Or perhaps they would have said, "If I was there, I could have helped them avoid that slide.", because that's how difference-makers think.
