    Could be shaping up like a solid veteran QB away from a strong Super Bowl run, like 2009 ........ ??? Regardless, as I feared, both Darnold and Jones are gone. I just don't think you start McCarthy in week 1 after his injuries. You can't throw away the first 6-10 games while he comes up to...

    Darnold to SEA with Klint Kubiak as OC would probably be a much better situation than his previous at Carolina and the Jets. Wish him the best, thanks for the wild ride!

    If they could draft a RB like Jahmyr Gibbs ... I just feel like that guy did some serious damage against us.

    The best college basketball Cinderella story you won’t hear about in March (St Thomas Tommies)

    St Thomas would love to get into the Big East someday (don't know how long that would take, won't be tomorrow). New arena a nice step in the right direction for them

    If you're an honest poster, then you'll do the rest of the games with Dobbs, and that season. Right?

    I respect your opinion and you're probably more likely to be right than me. We will see My thing is also predicated on having Darnold, DJones, or someone of that caliber on the roster still. If there isn't, then obviously McCarthy will start week 1. My gut just says he won't, until later in...

    Bold 1: the main difference for me is that McCarthy wasn't on the bench in a traditional way. He couldn't practice physically all year, just mental reps. That's not the same thing. Clearly, Daniels at Wash and Stroud last year for Houston had great true rookie seasons. So that's obviously...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Do you have information about 5% going to all other sports? I thought I heard it was going to be five sports at each school and no others. The point of revenue sharing ... is to share revenue. If the other sports don't generate any revenue, then they shouldn't get to share in the revenue...

    Not trying to be a d__ or anything ... just wondering if this account has had reliable info in the past? Anyone can start up a Twitter account called "Gopher XYZ" and claim anything they want.

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Thanks for this post. OK, this would make sense to me, as a way for how it's possible to get into the top 1/3rd of Big Ten relying mainly on the rev share. Here is my pessimistic take (as a nobody with no insider connections): the massive TV deals that the Big Ten has been able to sign these...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    My point was: how is that possible to achieve when the large majority of our dollars would be from the rev share amount that every school has the same ability to spend the same amount? I'm missing something

    CBS: If Big Ten, SEC programs want to keep fans engaged, they should move to 10-game conference schedules

    A few SEC (Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, SC) and now three Big Ten teams (Iowa, Washington, ... I assume but not certain Oregon) have yearly in-state rivalry games. EDIT: also USC-Notre Dame I'd rather see the remaining SEC and Big Ten teams schedule a 10th game home/away that compliments the...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Every Big Ten school can choose to spend the same amount as the Gophers on MBB, in terms of revenue sharing. Wouldn't it then just go right back to any additional NIL that third parties can muster? Maybe it puts us higher than some Big 12 and ACC (and other conference) teams though.

    I will say that McCarthy won't start this season until week 6-10, unless we don't retain either of Darnold or DJones and don't get someone else of that caliber. Otherwise, what leadership is essentially trying to tell the fanbase is something like "look, we're willing to lose the first 6-10...
