Payne has played fewer minutes per game this year than last and he's started a lower percentage of games. So I'm guessing it had little to do with usage.

I seem to remember him as a big Star Wars fanatic. I thought someone posted a pic of him in Darth Vader gear brandishing his dime store lightsaber. Could have been someone else.

A true Howard Cosell moment.

If the child is on Medical Assistance, they are automatically counted in the education funding formula that is based on the child's poverty status and the school's (both by building and district) concentrations of children in this category. It was thought that going to direct certification...

Game has changed so much. Curry never completed 50% of his passes, but I always enjoyed watching him the rare times that the Gophers were on television. Talk about a guy who could throw across his body and deliver a bullet. Looking back at the stats, Doug Kingsriter was his most reliable...

I don't think the Purdy comparison is that far off. As good as Purdy has played, there are some warts in his game. He has a couple of skills related to his mobility and ability to throw across his body, but his arm strength is likely average at best and he's playing in a system suited to his...

I don't follow pre-draft musings like I used to do, but Ersery has been all over the board from late-1st to late-2nd. Daniel Jeremiah at nfl.com doesn't have him in his top 50 and Dan Brugler at The Athletic has him a #50. Those rankings were pre-combine and maybe his combine numbers push him...

I'm old and outside of the Illinois uniform and the Gopher helmets, these uniform combos don't go that far back down memory lane.

The guy wa The guy had an unbelievable motor,. Not to start a ruckus, but the LB play is about the only thing I miss about the Kill/Claeys era. We had some LB groups that really pushed the action instead of reading things.

Always loved watching him play.

It will be interesting to see how Walley tests at the combine. He's not as good as Antoine Winfield, Jr., but he has those same instincts. I think he's a guy who could stick as a long-time contributor in the right situation. I think he's a little better than Eric Murray who has stuck around...

Good for him! Great program and I always loved him as a Gopher.

Maybe Beck can call Juan Soto. Soto surprises Baty with a new car in exchange for his uni number

I have a somewhat rusted-out 2012 Ford Escape he can use.

From the article, I guess we now know what Beck is doing with his NIL dough. Carson Beck, Hanna Cavinder Robbed on Wednesday Night
