It not like the Gophers have been all that good at football in the B1G since the early 60's. Edit: Northwestern would be the EMU of Chicago when it comes to sports in Chicago. Because there's no need for sub-divisions for NCAA D1 basketball.

What is your point? I'd bet more people are Michigan or Michigan State fans then fans of all of the other college football teams in Michigan combined.

Bridgewater and Jonny Football could both be mediocre and replace in a year or two by draft time.

He did draft Ponder and we can all see how that has gone.

Not at all, but poor move by the Vikings GM.

So the Vikings still owe that money to Freeman from last year?

Did the Vikings get rid of Freeman?

If I'm not mistaken there is a connection with the Roughriders in Colorado and the USHL Roughriders in Cedar Rapids

As dumb as it sounds, it is true.

You stated on here a timeline that would put the Big Sky in the FBS in 2020. The way the college football playoffs look now, no one outside of the power 5 conferences is playing for a national title. It was even stated that more then one team from the same conference can make the top four, depending how the committee decides to rank the teams. What I see happening is the power 5 conferences will see strength of schedule mattering more then pervious years. So the power 5 conferences would see it being more beneficial to play other power 5 conference teams then playing the lower level FBS conference teams. Which would in turn have more neutral site game at bigger NFL stadiums greatly benefiting the power 5 conferences, and you know the NCAA loves money. After seeing who is on the selection committee two name jump out as "why are you on the selection committee", Condoleezza Rice and Steve Wieberg. Rice make absolutely no sense and Wieburg is a former college football reporter, but you'd think a former player, coach, or A.D. would be a better choice then these two.

Looks like Fresno State paid $1 million to the WAC for its buyout.

Missouri and Texas A&M had to pay $12.41 million to the Big 12 originally it was suppose to be $30 million. Nebraska paid $9 Million to the Big 12 originally suppose to be $20 million. Colorado paid $6 million to the Big 12. West Virginia paid $20 million to the Big East.

You have F1 and Indy on NBCSN now and next year NASCAR will be on there. I like NBC's F1 coverage.

Racing is about to be on NBCSN

Well Lindenwood is in St. Charles Missouri and they're hosting the Women's Frozen Four at Family Arena which hold 9,643 for hockey. There is already a PAC 8 hockey conference (Arizona State, UCLA, USC, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Washington State, and California) the PAC 8 is ACHA D1 if I remember right. It looks like USC plays at the Anaheim Ducks practice facility. It looks like UCLA plays at the LA Kings practice facility. Utah plays at a building that has two Olympic sheets of ice the rink Utah plays in seats 2,500. It also looks like Utah State, BYU, and Weber State have hockey teams that play Utah.

ESPN will never care about hockey at any level. ESPN cares more about what LeBron James does every second of the day then they will ever care about hockey. I'd rather have NBC do the Frozen Four then ESPN because NBC does a better job then ESPN does at broadcasting hockey games. Look at the B1G Network's hockey game broadcasts, if the Gophers are playing it's a love fest for the Gophers that you'd think you're watching FSN North.

Buffalo could just use the new Harbor Center that is being built next to First Niagara Center. Buffalo would have to share the rink with Canisius. If the NCHC expands Iowa State University and University of Cincinnati would be two schools to add. With North Dakota being in the Big Sky Conference I was hoping that the other schools in the Big Sky Conference would look into the possibility of adding hockey. If BGSU finds a way to start a new CCHA they might be careful what they wish for, because Miami and Western Michigan could be the top two teams in that league for a long time. I'm not a fan of ESPN broadcasting college hockey games. The only way ESPN can make their broadcasts better is if ESPN brings back Gary Thorne to replace John Buccigross.

I slept through half of the game.

The way Brazil played it could have been lol, Germany could have scored at will the way they were playing.

This game could have been 11-4 Germany.

7-1 Brazil finally scores after Germany misses a chance to make it 8-0.

7-0 Germany

6-0 Germany

5-0 Germany is just toying with them now.

Brazil lost a key part of their offense, Neymar broke the third vertebra in the lumbar region of his back and is out for the rest of the World Cup.
