From Rotoworld (NBC) today: ESPN’s Kevin Seifert believes if Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) can’t stay healthy, QB Max Brosmer “will merit the next look” as the team’s starter. McCarthy, almost two months after sustaining an ankle injury, is reportedly set to start in Week 9 against the...

It's a fucking university. What do you expect besides intellectuals? Alabama has intellectuals. So does Georgia, Ohio State, and every other school winning football championships. Intellectuals are perhaps Minnesota's best hope for a football championship, in that they can maybe become...

But the Vikings of the Chuck Forman (sic) days were a lot like the Vikings of the decades since. Consistently good but never champions. Eventually they will win the Super Bowl. They are by far the best NFL franchise to have not won it. Gopher football is frustrating but It's also only 12...

What did they expect? The Gophers (or any Big Ten team) to be soft and give up?

The Gophers get more national TV exposure than the Vikings during Big Ten season

Ugly here is being used to mean "low scoring", I guess. In the same article, Michgan's 24-7 win versus unranked Washington was referred to multiple times as "dominating", "everything was working" and "could have been an epic blowout"

It might also be to avoid a winless Big Ten season. It's likely they enter the Axe game 0-8

Arch Manning was saying he was going to do 2 years before going pro, but he didn't mention the second year was going to be at Sam Houston State and going pro is to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
