It was so smooth!

Grayson “White Lightning” Grove! Dunk City!

These games give me hope if we can get talent and depth some day.

Absolutely agree. My thought is the price better only go up if we find a big enough suitor outside of what we already have as a supplement. That’s the biggest difference vs other pro sports. Maybe the U/Koi are actually playing a dangerous game of chess and getting people to donate! Highly doubt...

Also a reminder that a big upgrade to an offensive line can simply be bringing everyone back. These are still growing young men. It’s amazing the development that can be seen in College (still in NFL, but not as great a degree).

This has absolutely become an RFP process and sometimes the company (AKA Koi) needs a good enough threat to get them to up their offer. Sometimes negotiations get awkward, but you never know! The world of social media sure makes things interesting.

It is an interesting thought that I know most of us hate seeing him leave, but also that if it weren’t for this new NIL era he probably never comes here in the first place. With the ability to pay him at least some money and no real repercussions to coming here for a few years and transferring...

Go get Mateen! https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/5086180/mateen-ibirogba

Hey all, let’s maybe not rip on our potential All-American safety based on HYPOTHETICALLY not coming back. Until he’s no longer a GOPHER, I refuse to feed into this nonsense. I do understand that this is a message board, but clearly these players read what you write. I know we want to believe...

I also think that’s the way a school like Minnesota will compete for an opportunity in the CFP (when the stars align ever few years). We may lose a guy or two to the likes of OSU, but you have to replace those guys and dominate in the trenches. Without a billionaire you’re not going to have an...

Held them to their lowest offensive output of the season. I will take that from this game and burn the tape. On to the next one.

Fair question. I couldn’t find anything when I very briefly looked (not super hard). I did see that they were spending the full (non-private equity) $20.5 mil in 2025 but 75% football and only 15% basketball. So who knows, but their “Crimson Collective” sounded like it was pretty agressive. Has...

Utah = Money! Broke that private equity seal so to speak.

Me neither, but I suppose reading the article would help!

Availability is the BEST ability. Ask a Vikings fan.
