    Highest-paid player in college football history? Transfer QB Darian Mensah's Duke deal is sign of times

    I bet you're just making a WAG. Consider this from Google: "AI Overview: "In 1979, O.J. Simpson was the highest-paid player in the NFL, earning $806,668. Simpson, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, had previously earned $733,358 in 1978. "In the 1970s, the average salary for an NFL...

    Official 2021 Gophers Football Recruiting Updates Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos etc

    Like others, I came across this question when the thread was bumped. I'm not a big hockey fan but here are some football/hockey Gophers I recall from long ago. Noel Jenke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Jenke Jim Carter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Carter_(American_football)...

    Fleck and Fickell go back on forth about Martin Owusu negative recruitment

    Apparently the Badgers have been recruiting negatively for a long time. :)

    Tubby Smith on Minnesota: "It may be the first or second toughest job in the Big Ten."

    You are wrong. Here is my source. Scroll down a bit and you will find the self imposed sanctions listed as well a list of those by the NCAA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Minnesota_basketball_scandal

    Warren suggests Divisions could be gone when USC/UCLA join

    Yes, 2 divisions of 8 teams, divided East & West. Did we not learn anything with the Legends & Leaders fiasco? Putting both CA teams in the West & moving Purdue to the East solves much of the balance issue and allows virtually all (if not all) long standing rivalries to play every year. It...

    Gopher legend Dave Winfield met with Gopher basketball team today

    I'm getting old and apparently slow on the uptake. I need the ;) when people are foolin' around.:)

    Gopher legend Dave Winfield met with Gopher basketball team today

    Sorry, you're way off. Thorson coached for Haskins and Winfield played for Musselman about 20 years earlier.

    Brock Annexstad in the Portal

    No Thread on the Spring Game?

    The player you seem to be overlooking would be #1 in maroon, Ike "ike" White. The Gophers receiving corps has 2 Wrights and a White.

    Sutherlin. . . does he have another year?

    I agree. Whatever a player's eligibility status was prior to last season remained the same at the beginning of this season. Sutherlin had previously been active for 3 seasons and this season is his fourth. He will be done. All the people that played last year are being treated as if they had...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN IN-GAME THREAD TWAS NIGHT BEFORE XMAS THEME!!!***

    Maybe he is a lot better now than he was when he was 18 y/o. A good D1 coach can probably tell if he is. In local football I recall that Adam Thielen and CJ Ham "transferred" from D2 football to the NFL.

    Fleck on dline with Grimmer

    I had to laugh. It was a classic "Yogi-ism". Probably the result of a speck of dust on the human "ram". I've done it myself. :-)
