I think there is plenty of room for optimism for Ben and the team. His first year. Big 10 is legit one of the toughest conferences and first year with a team that had most of it's core gutted. You give him another year and I think you will see a much more competitive team. What I do like is...

I wonder about the "investment" part for some of these donors. Granted those who are big donors likely have the money to burn. But what about that donor who donates and then sees their investment flop or flip their commitment? Over time, I would be curious that donors may be less apprehensive or...

Love this show!!!!

I think with limited funs from the NIL and the inherent risk now with paying players based upon their skill set, Iowa likely is doing much like they do with recruiting. Finding guys who fit what Iowa does. I think overall, Iowa does a tremendous job with recruiting players who are appropriate...

Yeah, I won't be attending. In part, the ticket prices were obviously outrageous with the anticipation of it being a #1 vs #2 match up. Unless Iowa flips the script, I see this as one sided. The meet Friday was also having a moment to recognize former Hawkeye, Tony Cassioppi who is now an...

Attended the meet Friday. Not a full house by any means. But the only wrestlers that I thought wrestled with any aggression was Caliendo, Kennedy and Farrari. Maybe Williams, but everyone else looked a step slow and had zero offense. Frustrating. I am with you, that Penn State on the horizon...

Similar to former Georgia commit, Damond Wilson II. Left for Mizzou and Georgia is suing him to re-coop come of the NIL money. It will be interesting if any of these cases gain traction.

I think it was just this last year that the high courts approved it that the NIL can be unlimited which creates even more of a disparity. We discussed it in past threads but Oregon with Nike and Phil Knight behind them have unlimited funds. I think their total NIL was something to the tone of...

Fry, you might know more of the legalities of it, but they are also considered "agreements" and not contracts, correct? I believe Georgia is trying to sue to recover some lost funds from an agreement from a player who entered the portal. IF it goes through, I assume it will once again change how...

Didn't they have like 18 turnovers in the first half? That game was hard to watch.

100% Joe Mauer was my favorite Twin. Straight up stud. Great stick. But 100% right on baseball. I watch baseball and follow the Sox casually but not like I used to. I also used to watch any game that was on. Hard to do now. That was the great thing about baseball, 162 games. A grind but the...

I'm with you. Baseball is my first love as well. However, we can't be friends....I'm a White Sox fan. LOL. But you are spot on. Used to be your favorite player on your favorite team would play most (if not all) of their career with that team. Nowadays, you have no clue. And small market versus...

The NIL and portal has changed the landscape of college football. I think it will be very hard for teams to continuously be at the top unless the are printing money. A few outliers might be Oregon, tOSU, and a couple others. Players are "hired guns" and negotiate for their talents to the...

I agree. 2009 was where we got all the breaks. But KF has stated several times during this season this was a very special group. I think he may have even compared it to the that team. So close in our losses and we were in every game. I would definitely agree that it was a special team and fun to...

I know we haven't had big splashes yet, but Iowa seems to have a knack in finding those hidden gems. I mean, I can recall a lot of groaning when Gronowski committed. And there was a bit skepticism if he could play at this level at the start. But, I think we can agree he will be missed and he...

Michigan is scary!!!

I think there was allegedly some jawing from the UCLA players or their bench, but low key. Bottom line is be better. But yes, he was out in Chris Kingsbury territory so it's whatever. Game was academic anyway. Get over it. Not a lot different when you have a break away dunk at the end of the...

The long 3 dagger was epic. I don't think it was well received by UCLA, but whatever.

Last year was his year to show out. Soft schedule. 2026 will be much more challenging. He may not get a big time coaching gig and IF they find a way to mutually part ways, and negotiate some sort of payout, he probably will slide back to a coordinator position. As bad as it has been for him...

Brahmer to Penn State along with Rocco. Saw Sama went to Wisconsin.
