Came across this article hitting the AAU element from last August. References ND. Easy read. https://www.si.com/college/northwestern/football/what-the-association-of-american-universities-has-to-do-with-big-ten-expansion

C'mon Forensic, just another 3 or so hours to get to Minneapolis from Iowa City or Madison...heck even over to Lincoln is 3 hours from Iowa City...you're in like flint from where you reside...;)

Bigrabbit said: "Several B1G and SEC programs aren’t actually very good. Will the final stage of this process involve thinning the herd? Kick out the weaklings?" There's already clickbait out there speculating just this point. And yes, like all conferences record-wise in the B1G there's the...

That was funny Nordeast. Our game against you guys was the breakout for our then Frosh RB Mo Ibrahim. He did great in 2019 and 2020, but then went down in Game 1 against tOSU last season in 2021with an Achilles injury of some sort. Word is he is apparently fully recovered and will be our No...

Thanks Nordeast (that's how someone from the old side of Minneapolis would say it). As for this list... "7) Some of us are tired of trying to make rivalries out of schools that we find uninteresting whereas at least 7 of the teams in the B1G would almost instantly be appealing to play..."...

Hello GT faithful. Thought about the ACC and you guys as this thing broke over the past few days. Here's a good Saturday Tradition article that sums up pretty well how we got here...

Hello Jackets. Came across this NFL Short Film and thought you might enjoy a chuckle here in the "off season." Former Gophers Kicker Peter Mortell spoofed himself in 2015 by creating the "Holder of the Year Award" that of course he awarded himself. Since then, it's morphed into something...

Hello Jackets. Dropping by for the insomniacs in the forum that the Gophers take on West Virginia Tuesday night at 10:30 PM EST in the Guranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix. Certainly no match of FB titans but thinking my Gophers match up pretty well with the Mountaineers...or Eers as they call...

Yep, Cumberland Mall was the big thing of my youth... East Cobb was home...lived out Sewell Mill Road. Johnson's Ferry in those days had a couple of churches but was mostly pastures. Parkaire was the novelty mall by having an ice skating rink. Good times. Tech was always a threat to beat...

Hey Awbuzz...I grew up in Mayretta BTW...see that's home for you. Great place to live. Been away now for 30+ years but still come back for family and friends pretty much every summer. Can anyone say Big Chicken?

Badgers are in Vegas for their bowl while we get Phoenix...interestingly playing Virginia Tech. Glad you guys dodged the Sanford bullet. Hoping the new guy works out. Happy Holidays to all Tech fans from the Billds.

Hello Augusta. Had not seen that Sanford was up for consideration at Tech. Did a quick google and came up with this SB Nation piece on the OCs under consideration... Moving over to Mike Sanford, his lone year at WKU as the QB coach was Willie Taggart’s first year, which did not go very well...

Never light a match near the rings...

Thanks Slugboy. Yep the team took it in the shorts yesterday. Complete, total team and coaching failure. Our fansites similar to The Swarm are mostly in meltdown as one would expect. Ironically we did the exact thing to Colorado that BG did to us the week before by blanking the Buffs in...

Progress. That's the mark to compare against. Losing sucks but losing poorly sucks more. Next game up...

Watched the entire game today and respectfully as several noted hard to compare your QB with Martinez. He is considered a huge disappointment by most of Husker Nation...and he and Scott Frost are joined at the hip. Even worse, there's not a number 2 that Frost is voluntarily willing to put on...

My Comcast here in Minneapolis provides BTN as a channel as part of my "Digital Plus" package. I have no way to figure out what little bit BTN carves out of the total amount. BTW, I've got the SEC Network and PAC-12 Network. I've not looked to see if I have the ACC Network before. Finally I...

Came across this CFN article on The Grand Alliance by Pete Fiutak. Here's the link: https://collegefootballnews.com/2021/08/acc-big-ten-pac-12-alliance-conference-expansion-college-football-daily-cavalcade Basically says the future is conference deals with Hulu and Amazon for streaming FB...

We have those fans from I-O-W-A and Wisconsin. I'm sure you could learn to dislike them too. Sorry Sheboygan. Truth hurts.

Two facts are clear. First, we've both had past glory but at least you have fans alive that remember your last Nattie. And you're right...no Waffle Houses up here (as a Tech sponsor or not). Mrs Billd and I always make sure we go to WF when we are in Atlanta or anywhere south of St. Louis for...
