The "disservice to the state" part of the quote is telling. It's a lot of pressure there, but without an absolute wagon of resources.

He would be a good fit for Nebraska. But the Gophers have been better than Nebraska for a decade now, and any coach going there has to ask himself why so many men have failed to turn it around. Matt Rhule is a smart football coach. So were Scott Frost and Mike Riley. There's very little...

Bowl TV ratings were good this year, at surprising highs for the non CFP bowls. Other host groups may take their spot.

I was in ROTC at the U and that organization may as well put "discriminating based on medical conditions" on the front door and the logo. They would certainly pull your scholarship for medical reasons. Really ticky-tack ones too, while you could get busted for DWI or crash a government van...

There's a history of FCS juggernauts moving up and none of them are presently in major conferences or above average clubs. Georgia Southern, Western Kentucky, App State, UMass, Sam Houston, Marshall James Madison this year came closest to a breakout but is still in the G5 and got waxed in a...

Our guys apparently have to do promotional activities for NIL in the way it was intended to be Other schools it seems to just be checks for using your likeness in a football uniform on Saturday

That and the worst defensive game plan of the season

I think the Seahawks could have won the Super Bowl with Max Brosmer at QB with the way that defense played.

Wow wisconsin is in shambles. Only 1 4* in their entire newcomer class of portal and high school. Gophers have 8 4* coming in

I want to do Indiana. My dad's an IU alum and we've talked for many years about going to a game in Bloomington. The absurd lack of games between the two schools over the last 20 years have made that difficult. He's at an age where we need to do it while he can still get to games. It's also...

Yes but what really stood out to me in the reel was seeing a Gopher RB finish a long TD run and increase the distance between him and the defense. Hasn't been anyone like that in the M&G since Maroney, and before him Darrell Thompson. We've had lots of very productive backs since who get run...

I'm surprised we haven't seen a trend of players retiring after college football instead of entering the Draft. Make that $5-10M and quit and go do something else with a big head start. It's a path for guys who don't have tremendous NFL prospects, don't have a passion for the game, or who...

I'm waiting for the first major FBS school to completely cease high school recruiting and be very open about it. Will happen soon. Doesn't mean it will work for them but someone's going to try it.

It's easy to say the Gophers should be mostly transfers, especially with the glow of Indiana's massive turnaround fresh in everyone's minds. Win with a bunch of 23 year olds. Only have proven players. But...not everyone can get the transfers they want. Even those who get the transfers they...

Aytch is a crazy eval. He's either a low-end P4 depth guy his home state flagship (Indiana) didn't offer or he's the greatest recruit in recent Gopher history and shaping up to be a 1st or 2nd round NFL pick. Problem is that in today's college football if the Gophers are wrong he's playing for...
