Some of these I've touched on before.
1. Michigan wide receivers are average. Sometimes it isn't about being athletic, sometimes you're better off going with a football player. I heard a lot about Nico and Tarik in the off season, but I think Bell is the best of the bunch.
2. They interviewed Ralph Friedgren during the PSU-MD game. He said some generic nice thinks about Locksley, but then said that Franklin was more flashy than Locksley, but more sincere. Whoa. That's not a good message to send to UMD recruits. It went under the radar, probably because the game was a blowout by that time. Seems to me that maybe Ralph isn't a big Locksley fan...
3. The transfer portal is going to help helmet schools more than anyone else. Players that are buried on the depth chart will transfer, allowing for large recruiting classes. Great players at a lower division or on a lesser league will be recruited to come to a helmet school. The division between the haves and have-nots seems to be growing. Parity is going away. This will be bad for the sport as a whole, methinks.
4. Justin Fields looks good, but he should have had to sit out a year. See #3.
5. Minnesota looks like they could be 8-0 when Penn State comes into town. They would be getting Penn State after a brutal run of Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan state. Could they start 9-0? Nah. They'll lose to Illinois on Saturday.
6. Michigan really should have been in the B1G West, and there should have been a protected rivalry game. Maryland, Rutgers, and Indiana are in a horrible situation.
7. Penn State students moved from the nosebleed section down to the empty MD student section after halftime. This was to be closer to the field. They did the same thing at Rutgers the year before when all of the Rutgers students left at halftime. It looked bad, but those guys were just trying to get better seats, not trying to taunt anyone. Frankly, there wasn't anyone there to taunt. I would have done the same.
8. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Wisconsin right now, and that annoys me. Your winters suck. Real Chili has beans in it.
