You might be thinking of Mike Gessel..(spelling??)....

Like most, I have found almost zero things about the looming Frost era that I disagree with. But, if forced to pick nits, I might suggest changing the title of the Duck-R position. Do we really need a reminding vestige of anything Oregon? Just like the uniqueness of the old linebacker...

While watching a lot of basketball this year, I am struck by how many teams have really, really good pure shooters (some even just as role bench players). Now while Nebraska has a few that can occassionally fill it up, season stats rarely show any consistent shooters throughout the season (at...

As uninspiring and tepid as the final few games unfolded, does that negate the entire season? There actually were stretches where this team played pretty well and went on impressive runs for a bit. But the lingering stench of the last week tends to become the memory. To use a basketball...

It is my singular (and probably uniformed) belief that in order to make the post season, we need to finish at least .500 in the Big Ten. We are at 3-3 now with 12 games to play. How do we get 6 more wins? My best guess at the schedule: At Sparty (probable loss) Michigan at home (toss-up)...

So it looks like we have secured the State POY from Minnesota and Colorado and are close to the South Dakota winner. If you lock in 1/2 of the contiguous state's POY, that's pretty telling and shows success in the vaunted 500 mile radius template. But, (unless I've missed it ----certainly a...

Local listings show only radio broadcast. Anyone know if it can be picked up on TV somewhere ? Thanks.

Although this applies to all 3 "traditional" men's sports, I placed it in the football forum since that is the current season we are marinating in ... Looking back at the finish to the seasons of the 3 traditional sports and the beginnings of this year, we have an unbelievably dismal recent...

This is a topic where I am really just asking a question….. Because the Support Staff that Mike Riley has brought in and put in place has been so unabashedly forward-thinking, cutting edge, social media driven and out-of-the box in their approach, it got me to wondering about the Basketball...

Disclaimer: This post is NOT an attack or direct blame on Walter P. The cast of characters filling the basketball roster is full of individuals who all collectively share some responsibility for this dumpster fire of a season. Including coaches. But I was thinking back to this same week last...

It's an annual conundrum. Do you reward the Seniors by giving them an honorary "Start" tomorrow vs. Maryland? Most years it's even harder to decide because unless you want to waste a timeout, they might play up to 4 minutes until the first media timeout. IF your team is actually playing for...

Don't think I've seen this referenced in the BB forum yet, so I'll ask the question. Everyone seems to agree that this team's offensive woes are mostly "mental". Especially given last year's proof that they CAN shoot. Dr. Tom used to utilize guys like Jack Stark for input into the mental...

When one conference has bona fide running back stars at Wisconsin, Nebraska, Indiana, Minnesota, etc. to the depth that Ohio State's Elliott was only “Honorable Mention” in his own league…..shouldn’t the conference be trumpeting that? Surely the wizards of smart in Delany’s offices could see...

In a moment of lackadaisical brain activity, I began musing about the national effects of Eichorst’s decision to terminate the infamous Bo in late November. Of course we all understood immediately that the decision would impact more than just Bo. But, I hadn’t really considered just how...

After watching Ameer in his last game, I am curious about the future for him…..? No doubt he’ll be drafted, but how high and by what team are crucial. I’d really hate to see him get the short shift like Rex who was drafted and not really ever used (rumor was Cincy drafted him to keep him away...

With respect to all the volleying arguments of the pro-Bo and anti-Bo discussions, given that the change is now reality……. (Exclusive of the obvious w/l record, recruiting, organizational and delegating skills, etc. on-going debates)………what are the potential extra benefits? I’d suggest (even...

Of course any coaching change is going to cause untold cases of families being uprooted, resumes updated or enhanced, and philosophies being dissected……………….BUT What about the attendant fallout for the “little people” ?? Specifically, I’m thinking of all those poor espn camera guys whose sole...

Aside from the obligatory “Fire Bo/ Keep Bo” and/or Fire Coordinators/ Don’t Fire Co’s firestorm certain to rage throughout the remainder of the season, where (exactly) do you think we are in terms of truly elite talent? Even though we are told continually that we have tremendous talent (and...

I’ve been wondering if someone was going to broach this topic, but it hasn’t happened, so I guess I’ll do it. In case you’ve missed it, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, widely regarded as the architect of Obamacare was caught on a utube video explaining how Obamacare was passed. Among his rather...

Well, Northern Illinois just beat us out for the first "Corny" uniform alternatives........
