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...

Is it gonna be Kenny Pickett, or will Phillip Rivers play one more game?

The way this is trending, actually playing in the Pro Bowl could be a sign a guy is about to get cut.

Is this for ratings and publicity or did every AFC QB except Justin Fields or Geno Smith say no?

I've always thought Land O' Lakes would make a good Gopher sponsor. I realize they already are but don't have their name on the big things. Of all the Minnesotan brand names it feels the most congruent, like it would be natural for the Minnesota team to have 'Land O' Lakes' on the rear bumper...

Great I can now root for the Cubs and Gophers at the same time!

A rowboat or oar manufacturer would be funny for football Some schools will probably do deals per team, others will probably be the whole athletic dept

In an anticipated move, the NCAA Division I Cabinet voted to approve jersey patch sponsorships in college sports. The legislation is due to take effect Aug. 1, the NCAA announced – just in time for the 2026 college football season. Under the new legislation, schools will be able to place up to...

I follow college football closely and this is the first time I've heard of Tyson Helton, Chris Creighton, or Chuck Martin Am I alone?

If Tua Tagovailoa can be paid $50M to play 16-17 games and sorta fill Hard Rock Stadium and post a losing record and lose his job, then the QB from Miami U can be paid $10M to play 16-17 games and sorta fill Hard Rock Stadium and take them to the title game. Bryce Underwood getting $4M a year...

Minnesota is now up to 40 years without losing a head football or men's hoops coach to another job. Every man who has left those positions has been fired, except Jerry Kill resigning for health reasons. So much fretting about what's turned out to be nothing over those decades.

Not for a while. My dad is a big Indiana fan and alum. I'm a Gopher. We've been in shared football frustration for decades. His worse than mine - I saw the Gophers win 12 bowl games in the time between Indiana's 1991 Copper Bowl win (now the Rate Bowl) and when they won the Rose Bowl this...

Minnesota was 1 win away (either Northwestern or Cal) from being about #30 in the final polls. So it's not wild at all to think they at least rise to that level with a lot of returning players and a QB with a year of experience. The 2026 schedule is mostly favorable. The two traditional...

At the levels below the FBS the Upper Midwest, Montana, and the Dakotas have been the kings for many years. I believe that dominance at the sub-FBS levels comes from those locations getting far less recruiting exposure. The same guy from Georgia or Texas who goes Big Ten and sits the bench...

This guy is a Barstool Sports sometimes-content creator and Twitter Guy who has never worked for any reputable media source in his life. The original tweet is just from some Ohio State fan. These are the class of "educated writers" who have brought us our current moment in America, not the...
