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...

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.
