    Hope the NIL donation from his family is robust. Oof.

    Your favorite bits of Gopher lore or obscure details

    Down by 4, 3 minutes left, third and 29 from our own 6. About to lose to GEORGIA SOUTHERN! I wonder how differently the season would've played out if Douglass didn't haul in back to back 21 and 10 yard catches.

    2026 Boys State Tournament

    Tartan was severely overrated, should've been the 3 seed. Had a few nice wins but play in a very weak conference with 16 gimmes. They simply aren't very good. Apple Valley finished tied for 5th in the South Suburban conference and lost to both Burnsville (7-20) and Shakopee (7-20) in February...

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Best possible move of the limited choices we had. His career stats: 67.1% completion pct. 92.2 passer rating 2:1 TD/Int ratio 37 yds rushing per game If we had that last year we would've won 13 games, and we're paying the veterans minimum. He's never had the weapons he'll have next year...

    That Miami group might take the cake. a few other good ones: Alabama 2012: Derrick Henry, Kenyon Drake, TJ Yeldon and Alvin Kamara (before he transferred) Notre Dame in the late 80's with Jerome Bettis and Rickey Watters 1997 Texas: Rickey Williams and Priest Holmes 2017 Georgia: Nick...

    If we played a Power 4 team today, we would've lost by 40 plus.

    2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

    Didn't like the two-point conversion play call. The previous two drives you spread the field and your QB looks like Drew Brees, so bring in a hobbled RB who hasn't been on the field for a long time and slowly and predictably run him into the teeth of the defense. Too horizontal, if a run was...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    Kwesi has had 28 picks. Of those 28, 5 have been "contributors". Addison, Reichard, Nailor, Jackson and Turner. TJ Trade: Lions used our pick to take Brian Branch and took Sam LaPorta (which we could've simply done). Turner trade: Jags used our pick to take Brian Thomas Jr., and are still...

    He has a chance to be elite. He will be a great TE, running out of the wildcat, tush push, a threat to throw (5000/50 in HS), will be an elite blocker. Tyler Warren with more speed.

    2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

    I watched the Minnetonka/PL game Friday. Minnetonka's QB left in the first half with an injury and didn't return. They switched to Francois at QB and ran the read option the entire second half (first half too I think). I'm pretty sure they didn't throw a pass the entire game, and Francois and...

    Last series with Cal.

    Didn't go well for us. Lost in 2006 out there 42-17. That Cal team had insane skill position players. Marshawn Lynch had 152 yards and 2 TD's while fellow future NFL RB Justin Forsett had 78 yards. They also had WR's Desean Jackson and Lavalle Hawkins (4th round pick by the Titans). That...

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    Great list. I've been a fan since attending the first game in the Metrodome vs. Ohio. 80's and most of the 90's me couldn't fathom such a list.
