The "Gophers don't travel to bowl games" gig is a self-fulfilling prophecy. When the Gophers qualify for a January 1st bowl game in Florida, there has been incredible attendance. However, sites like the Music City Bowl not taking the Gophers because they don't think we attend well sends us to...

I don't know whether I'd consider that "holding him" or getting so gashed through the air (10 yards per attempt) that they didn't even bother to run.

I'm not sure it's underestimating the Cornhuskers as much as it's finding it foolish for someone to list an O/U of 7.5 as "too low" for a team that hasn't even surpassed 6 wins since 2016. Yes, different coaches, new talent, etc. but we've said that countless times before. Prove you can win and...

After long thought I've come to the conclusion that this guy simply doesn't know what he's yapping about

Curt Cignetti ranked Top 5 in the Big Ten over Kirk Ferentz is certainly writing. Not to mention Jeff Brohm being 12th overall. Woof.

I think he's already burned the "return to Minnesota" bridge with how he's handled this situation. Not to say with certainty that Ben wouldn't take him back if he didn't land somewhere else (he will), but there would certainly be tension.

Going to have to look into this Nick Ewers guy. Haven’t heard much about him up until this point. On the other hand, I’ve heard Quinn Ewers is quite the quarterback.

What I meant was that, between graduations and transfers, Ben Johnson only retained one player from Pitino’s 2020-2021 team (that being Ihnen, I did forget about Eric Curry). Pretty sure almost all of the players who left for the portal did so either before or within 2 weeks of Ben Johnson’s...

Johnson hasn’t made his situation better? Dude took over a roster with one player on it and is currently 18-11, 9-9 in the conference. Yes it’s taking him some time but let’s not pretend he hasn’t “improved” his situation.

UCLA has had attendance issues as we know. I wonder if this is an effort to make the stadium look fuller during broadcasts (granted, I don't think students attend all that well either). Baylor has their entire student section along the visiting sideline if I recall correctly. Doesn't look...

Technically it's the off-season so I'd argue teams are closer to their new conferences than their old ones.

I’ve been a big Bijan Robinson fan for a few years now so I’ve taken on cheering for the Texas Longhorns in my spare time. Was able to make it down to the 2022 Red River Rivalry, was an amazing experience (the game, not so much).

Ko Kieft was not from Iowa Western. I think there was a lineman from a few years ago who came in from Iowa Western -- can't remember the name though. Jeff Jones enrolled there following his time (or lack thereof) with the Gophers. Edit: After research, Royal Silver, Merrick Jackson, Charlie...

I think there were plenty of games where Athan could have gotten his ass chewed out, but the Purdue game feels like the strangest one. That was the worst defensive performance in recent memory and it wasn't really close. 18-42 (43%) isn't a good completion percentage but he put up 30 in a Big...

This is the first reveal in a long time where I've struggled to discern the combination. First video made me think it could be maroon helmet with gold chrome facemask. Then the jersey almost looks black if it weren't for the gold trim on the numbers. Photo this morning helped with the helmet...
