I would rather see someone like Mankato or Michigan Tech in the NCHC over Bowling Green I don't care if they fit the profile or not.

The fine would make the 9 games he already has missed an actual suspension without pay and the only one who knows if he actually learns anything from this is him.

It does show up on my guide on FCSA for Saturday and I'm in Northern Minnesota but not until 8:30 and it doesn't say if it is live so it could just be a replay of Friday night.

I don't see it hurting UND too much if at all. ASU isn't gonna be able to come and get some kid out of Minnesota that UND is after and that is a prime recruiting area for UND. As for TV appearances UND will still be one of the most televised teams in the nation ASU isn't gonna change that.

That is why a lot of people were expecting a fine equaling close to what he had been paid while on the exempt list and then him being eligible to play this week or next week.

I wouldn't mind adding Arizona State but I wouldn't really be in favor of adding Bowling Green.

Michigan did do something Missouri couldn't do though and that is beat Indiana at home 34-10.

I really think there might be something to that I have heard a couple different NFL writers on radio shows this morning say that and that is why a couple think they need to just have a third party handle all NFL discipline decisions going forward.

There is no arguing that AP put himself in this situation by going overboard punishing his son but that doesn't mean that Goodell should be able to just make things up as he goes along when determining punishment and imo. 15 games is way too much of a penalty. I think AP has been working on himself as I believe he has been seeing a psychologist and has said he has learned different ways to discipline his child but I do think it would have helped AP if he would have shown more remorse publicly like after the plea deal on the court steps he could have had a big remorseful apology in front of all the media.

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.Com was just on KFAN and he said the NFL didn't want AP to play again this year no matter what and when the plea deal came they were surprised and had to find a way to keep him off the field. He said the punishment of 15 games for a misdemeanor definitely doesn't fit the crime and this is just another inconsistency with how the NFL handles things. I really think Goodell has just opened himself up to more criticism here of whether he is capable of actual doing the job and think the NFLPA may push hard for a change in the offseason. He also said in a league that strives for competitive balance so much the NFL has basically taken the Vikings season and thrown it away with how they have handled the situation. The league office just doesn't know how to make a set of rules for disciplining players and how to follow them.

I have seen a lot of other opinions today that very much disagree with the suspension. I know what AP did was wrong but suspending him for what basically amounts to a whole season is crazy to me and I agree with the NFLPA guy that the NFL is just making it up as they go along.

Wow very surprised to see Peterson suspended at least the rest of the season I thought he would just be paying a fine. I think Goodell is gonna be under fire for this decision especially from players. Looks like Peterson will appeal the suspension as he should and the NFLPA has released a statement: NFLPA statement on Adrian Peterson suspension: "The decision by the NFL to suspend Adrian Peterson is another example of the credibility gap that exists between the agreements they make and the actions they take. Since Adrian’s legal matter was adjudicated, the NFL has ignored their obligations and attempted to impose a new and arbitrary disciplinary proceeding. The facts are that Adrian has asked for a meeting with Roger Goodell, the discipline imposed is inconsistent and an NFL executive told Adrian that his time on the Commissioner’s list would be considered as time served. The NFLPA will appeal this suspension and will demand that a neutral arbitrator oversee the appeal. We call on the NFL Management Council to show our players and our sponsors leadership by committing to collective bargaining so a fair personal conduct policy can be implemented as quickly as possible. -- NFL Players Association"

Watching Florida they just aren't very good fundamentally and have way too many missed assignments which is why I definitely can't see them beating Minnesota or Wisconsin who are two pretty fundamentally sound teams. Nebraska is struggling right now and looking at some things from their fans they are waiting for Minnesota to come in this weekend and beat them and they hope that will be the end of Pelini. The LSU and Wisconsin game changed dramatically with the Gordon "injury" if he is fully healthy there is no way they blow that game. Florida's QB is a good athlete but I think you have to dare him to beat you throwing the ball down the field they could keep it close for a while though as FSU hasn't taken control of many games at all in the 1st half.

Tom Novak, Rem Pitlick, and Sam Rossini. Minnesota would be my best guess the one thing I really wouldn't understand would be him re-committing to Wisconsin.

You really think Flordia could beat Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin?

I thought Georgia would run away with the East and really thought they would be a playoff team at the start of the season but they have definitely stumbled big time in a couple games they had to have.

Depends which Georgia team shows up all 3 of the teams you mentioned run the ball very well as did Florida and they ran all over Georgia. Then last week Georgia's defense comes out and only gives up 7 points I believe to a solid running team like Auburn although Auburn had been quite lucky in a few of their wins and getting as high in the rankings as they did.

I said they are still the best division in football but it isn't by as much as some people think and some of the teams in it are overrated. Some people think that whoever wins the SEC West should be in the playoff no matter what their record is just because they play in the SEC West and it is that tough that kind of reasoning is just stupid.

Responding to some comments about the SEC in the college hockey thread the SEC East is very average and even the leader Missouri lost to a bad Big Ten team Indiana. The SEC West is still probably the best division in college football but it is also very overrated by many people this year especially the depth of it and some other conferences/divisions have definitely closed the gap this year.

I'm not sure about Saturday but Friday night is on FSN+.

Because he isn't a forward he is a defenseman and has done a pretty decent job when he has been in the lineup this year. Additionally it isn't like we don't have forward depth our forwards are playing pretty well and there has been a good healthy scratch ready to come in if anyone struggles as was the case with Murphy in for Poganski Saturday and I'm sure Poganski will be pushing hard this week at practice to try to get back in the lineup Friday night.

Parise is back in the lineup today and has a goal for the Wild who are up 2-0 on Winnipeg midway through the 1st.

He has decommitted from Wisconsin and even though he is still going to take an official there it is hard to see him ending up there. He is a talented forward that would be a good addition to incoming class next year. I believe he plays on a line in Waterloo with 2 Gopher recruits and he has previously visited Minnesota and Michigan.

Missed it late last night but #6 Arizona State lost at Oregon State 35-27.
