There’s some anger about the way the Big Ten is handling the hoops conference tournament beginning next season… Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

-The league announced the scheduling plan for hoops next year, as a 20 game conference season with all teams playing every team at least once; and playing 3 schools twice (determined by rivalry, geography and competitive balance)

-Also, 3 teams will not be in the conference tournament, as the bracket only lists 15 teams vs. all 18…we know that baseball/softball don’t include all teams in their conference tourneys but this is unfortunate for hoops…right?

Is the narrative that players from small town football programs aren’t able to compete right away in college football “a load of crap” as Carter Nelson says? Jan 31, 2024

Our rivals to the East have hired an offensive coordinator to replace Brian Ferentz…can he fix Iowa’s pedestrian offense? Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

-Iowa hired Western Michigan head coach Tim Lester to be their offensive coordinator this past weekend; in 5 of the past 6 seasons, his offenses averaged at least 30 points per game

-Colorado took a high-scoring head coach from the MAC last season (Sean Lewis), and he helped the Buffaloes put up big numbers early in the season before a rough 2^nd half…what about Lester at Iowa?

Is it fair to laud a coach (Dan Campbell) for his aggressive nature all year long, and then attack him when it doesn’t work out? Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

-Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions went for it on 4^th down A TON this season, and continued doing so in the NFC title game, ultimately backfiring on them in the 2^nd half

-Campbell received so much praise for the way he operated his team this year…is it right for people to do a 180 on that since it didn’t work when it needed to most in the playoffs?
