Fort (Ferentz) Knox begins
Fall camp begins today. I always get excited when this happens but sometimes, I wonder why. We'll get some player interviews, some flashes of good plays in the 1-2 open practices. Otherwise, we don't hear much as the players grind and earn their way into the depth chart.To me the most pimportant thi

Around the B1G thread
I'm curious about both Wisconsin and Michigan State this season. I keep thinking one of these teams will get to 7 or 8 wins. I have no Idea about Nebraska. Seems they always have an all-world QB and it doesn't tranlate to wins. Gophers are a poor man's Iowa. If you ask me to pick an upset, i'm wo

Ferentz warns of growing imbalance in college game
MSN"But one thing I miss from the NFL is the salary cap, the contracts and the structure. All 32 teams operated by the same rules, and they were enforced the same way, so there was a consistency in the league. That's one good thing about the NFL that I do miss, an equal chance for everybody."
