Which is the better college football conference these days - the SEC or Big 10?  Currently, the long-reigning champs of college football conference respect, the SEC, is not performing poorly with...

@donaldbaker Do you think it would really rip their nation apart?  I think the much liklier (but sad) result would simply be that the Chinese government steamrolls the protestors and locks them u...

@donaldbaker No, I don't think it is.  It now becomes a game of chess, and the next move is the Democrats'.  The Schiff-led House impeachment hearings were not convincing, despite the theatr...

None of the above. Closest would be "Compromise on both sides leading to major political reforms for China but will remain a communist nation" but I don't think there will be major political reforms. ...

Yep. I noticed before the game that ESPN computer simulations gave Iowa around a 61% chance of winning, so the loss wasn't unexpected. And, at least it was close in the end. Mind you, Minnesota has...

You know, one of the classes I am teaching this semester (kind of out of my field, but whatever) is called Digital Media and Society. One of the topics we cover is whether online communities are true...

He seemed like a really good governor in what little I saw of him when in the national spotlight. I imagine he'll be landing somewhere in the Trump Administration if that's what he wants to do.

Wow - Gophers upset the Nittany Lions! May be the greatest day in Minnesota college football in the last 30 years (much more meaningful of their upset of then-No. 2 Penn State in 1999, when I'm prett...

Trust me - the thought has occurred that I could bank some cash on college games if I wanted. Unfortunately, I live in a non-sports gambling state. 😣

@donaldbaker Yes, BUT....the fact that a) Trump will never be removed from office by the Senate, barring the unveiling of some explosive and undeniable evidence of a big crime, and b) the Republicans ...

I've been playing in Yahoo college football pick'em leagues over the past few years in which players pick the winning team and use confidence points. I have a system down which works really well. Ri...

Of course ticket sales, though, are not part of the deal. Colleges still take it to the bank on the backs of athletes. Wonder what Maurice Clarett is thinking right about now.

Wow - gotta frame this. Minnesota at #13, just above Michigan. 🙆‍♂️ Oh, and six teams from the B10 in the top 20. Not bad. Not bad at all.  2019-College-Football...
