    5 star tackle commits to TTU for 5mil over 3 years

    haha I can get like that sometimes. Just love a good, spirited debate. I can agree with some of the things you wrote. It might not be wise to pay someone that young to do something they've never done before, but sometimes the market is what it is. When I graduated college in the dot com era...

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    First, I gotta give ya credit for that post. Must have taken quite a while, and you formatted it well. Regarding the bolded, wouldn't that also give Fleck a chance to LOSE one more conference game per season than the previous coaches who only played 8? If the previous coaches win 4 games...

    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?

    I'd even be a little worried about fast food. I think Subway owners are kinda screwed and McD's not much better. Maybe Chik-fil-A?

    Can Za'Quan Bryan/Jaylen Bowden replace Justin Walley/Ethan Robinson?

    You ended with a quote but didn't have a starting quote, so are those your words or someone else's?

    Can Za'Quan Bryan/Jaylen Bowden replace Justin Walley/Ethan Robinson?

    Maybe it's been that way recently haha, but I don't recall looking back at the Kill years and saying anything like that. We just watched upperclassman graduate and hoped the next would be better. Not trying to disagree in any way, just pointing out the progress we've made. Kinda like how now...

    I wonder if it ever was an easy business. Like, does it run in cycles? Maybe it was easy for a while and then something happened and now it stinks, but maybe in 20 years it'll be a solid living again? Or has door dash and the like kinda put the nail in the coffin?

    That makes sense. Just because your dad was in the restaurant business doesn't mean the kids wanna do it. I'd have sold and pocketed the money too, as I have no interest in running/owning a restaurant.

    5 star tackle commits to TTU for 5mil over 3 years

    How do you feel for 17 year olds who aren't college athletes? If a 17 year old rapper/artist gets signed to a contract larger than some random 20 year old who is so-so, do you complain about that too? How about the money paid to child actors? That kid from 2 and a Half Men was making WAY more...

    5 star tackle commits to TTU for 5mil over 3 years

    Well I guess we'll have to pay attention to Texas A&M and see if they get fatigue or level off. They had that 2022 recruiting class that even Saban claimed was bought. Most of the players left and got drafted off of different teams. So that was a huge waste. Will they do it again or change...

    What do we (the public) have to do with this? None of these decisions came about from the results of an opinion poll.

    I don't really think they'd care, nor would anyone ask. You're overthinking this, or maybe you're just frustrated that TT is playing the game in a way you don't like. And no, the MN model wouldn't compensate him nearly enough for life as this does. I don't think it's even close. Love the MN...

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

    FYI, you don't see his name there because the entire first column (players 1-20) is chopped off on the left in that graphic.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    I think it's a lighthearted reference to them not being allowed to drink caffeine. I didn't get it at first either.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    Thanks. I can see that. I work in software and if I was to take a few years off, I'd be rusty too. For high level competition, you probably do need to be doing it year-round.
