I have a 20 year old daughter at the "U". She's very kind and respectful and wants to work with children when she grows up. She isn't sarcastic and I can't remember the last time she told me a joke.
So tonight she sends me a text while at the Timberwolves game. "Hey Dad, I just saw and...
I thought I heard PJ say that the average recruit meets with the university and staff 18 times before they offer a scholarship. How does that happen with an out-of-town recruit?
The last three times (2 football, 1 basketball) we fired a coach and tried to hire a new one, we could not sign a single name from our top choices. How could this BOR or administration allow Coyle to fire Claeys before he had someone ready to go? This is negligence and a failure of our...
You're all probably correct, but possibly he meant this was the last time going on the field with this current group of Gophers. Does anyone have the real scoop on this?

Kimberly Hewitt has accomplished her mission. She believes there has been a "troubling pattern" (her words) of sexual misconduct in the football program for a few years and the athletic department hasn't done enough to stop it. She wanted to change the "culture" single-handedly. She's...
Even after a 3-1 start to the season, there weren't many reasons to be optimistic. We barely beat teams that we arguably should've dominated. Then came Northwestern and later Nebraska and things seemed very bleak, despite a strong performance over Purdue.
After watching the Michigan and OSU...
If you had a magic wand and could instantly and significantly improve one (and only one) area of our football team, which area would you chose to immediately improve our chances of winning.
My pick: pass rush.
When I watch the Gopher offense this year, I keep thinking back to the 2013 Texas Bowl and the interesting formations, shifts and motion we saw in the backfield with the tight ends, the full backs and the wide receiver. If I recall, these were new wrinkles inserted for the bowl game. What...
