    Pick'ems 2025

    Thanks for running it again. I had a pretty middling year last year until the last five or six weeks. Then I went on a tear, with some perfect pick weeks. I certainly didn’t expect to come all the way back to win. It’ll probably be back to “normal” this year (fun, but out of the money).

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    His name sounds like he’s a character in a Chronicles of Riddick movie.

    Marcus Fuller moving from Gophers beat to high school coverage

    This has to be viewed as a demotion, right? Maybe they’ll shift a T-Wolves beat writer to the Gophers.

    Sources say UNC is among the schools exploring a potential move from the ACC

    No academic integrity. Hard pass. Let them jump to the newly-renamed American conference (if they’ll have them).

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    But, but…how?! I’ve been told that greedy athletic departments were hoarding the cash they raked in by oppressing their slave-labor athletes. There was so much cash that the courts had to force them to pay the players so it was more equitable…but only some of the players will get paid, so not...

    College football 2025 quarterback tiers: Ranking the FBS’ projected starters from 1 to 136

    I heard Drake interviewed the other day and was impressed. Confident but not cocky. Said he really learned a lot from Max last year. He’ll make some mistakes, but I’m thinking he will surprise the experts and be a top half B18 QB this year.

    Went down the YouTube rabbit hole and found this game - Gophers v Indiana 2002

    The biggest “what if” in my lifetime (or as my Dad always says: “just think!”) is the team that could have been in 1975-76. Losing Olberding and Landsberger when Musselman bailed took two stars from what likely would have been Big Ten and national title contenders. Mark Olberding* Mark...

    RandBall: Where’s the money? Gophers budget shortfall raises questions

    I’m not sure Rand’s “report is reporting.” Was his mention of the cuts to the U’s general budget and the tuition increase just background on the financial climate? That’s not the way he wrote it. He ties that in with the athletic department budget shortfall. Surely he knows that’s a distinctly...

    Wow an end of an era on #Gophers campus as Annie’s Parlour closed after more than 50 years! Who has great memories going there while in Dinkytown?

    Never ate there. Not sure I even knew about it. But, not gonna lie, when I read Annie’s Parlour I was thinking massages, not burgers/malts!

    Jug, Floyd, and Axe in the Top 51 rivalries of college football per The Athletic.

    In a bygone era, an actual journalist would have authored a book with in-depth and comprehensive research and meaningful analysis that would have been a great and insightful read. Today we get online “personalities” that slap together shite like this because “who has time to do it right...

    72 or 76 team NCAA tournament.....NCAA determined to ruin one of the best things in sports.

    64 was the perfect number. No play-ins, no byes. I’d go back to that, even though it would make it harder for the Gophers to get in as an at-large team.
