Neon tampers with the wrong coaches enuff and he will get some heat from the NCAA

Saban, Smart, Day, Harbaugh

you know, the power brokers

ESPN and the MCAA know that the SEC makes them the $$$ not Ralphie

El Oh El. The NCAA is f**king JOKE. Tampering will be very hard to prove and even so- even if they can prove it- he'll just get a slap on the wrist from those limpdick losers at the NCAA.

The NCAA can't forbid jacksh*t. They are nothing useless organization. A dinosaur. Relic of the past that will and must die.

There is no way they can stop NIL for recruiting. Just about every school out there is already using NIL to recruit players.

The NCAA is a member institution. Your school is a member (and booger is a real member too).

For the NCAA to die, its members would have to allow it. I've been waiting a long time for this and predicting the end for a long time. Glad I didn't hold my breath.

I learned something new today, concerning the first year of the AP poll (1936).  
1 - the first poll didn't come out until October.
2 - the NC that year didn't win its conference (Minnesota)
.
Seems like not much has changed.

Don't underestimate Deion, he's as into Jesus as Dabo.  He just happened to go to the same school of bling as Joel Osteen, lol.

Hugh Freeze would approve

That's nothing. 


In 1960 the Gophers won a NC after losing to Purdue, losing the Rose Bowl, and losing to their own alumni team.

Your post made me dig a little. I was looking at Gopher historical scores and came across something strange. Anyone know why they played OSU so few times? Only 54 games. And why there are some huge gaps in between games?

Between 1950 and 1965 the teams did not play.

Between 1922 and 1939 they played only once.

What's up?

[847badgerfan]

OSU joined the conference in 1913 and first played Minnesota in 1921. So, from 1913 through 1965, the teams played a total of 11 games. This is odd to me.

Passenger planes. 

[847badgerfan]

Gotta be more to it than that. 

TC isn't that far from Madison and UW/OSU played 35 games in that same period. OSU/Iowa played 28.

Minnesota played Nebraska 27 times in that period.

Lincoln is way more fun than C-bus, the train ride was better

I had more fun in Lincoln that I did in Columbus.
