Some praise for Deven ahead of tomorrow's Senior Bowl.

I say we go after the Casa De Autos sponsored patch if New Mexico State hasn't yet.

It's definitely been an improvement from those years between 2008-2013. During that time there were no national championship game appearances, let alone titles. Plus, during that time the Big Ten had no Heisman winners, no Maxwell Award winners, no Bronko Nagurski winners, Chuck Bednarik...

Major shift in the NFL to no longer have Tomlin and Harbaugh. Here's a rundown of their tenures: Mike Tomlin 1 Super Bowl Title 2 AFC Championships 3 AFC Championship Games 8 AFC North Titles 13 Playoff Berths 19 Seasons With No Losing Record John Harbaugh 1 Super Bowl Title 1 AFC...

What a lineup tonight. Could be a double Border Battle victory. Minnesota Golden Gophers Vs. Wisconsin Badgers Minnesota Timberwolves Vs. Milwaukee Bucks

I wouldn't say so. To me a team of destiny is one that defies the odds, needs some miracles, gets some lucky bounces. As if the universe is on their side. Indiana is just really fricking good.

I mentioned once in the Hockey forum, it's I'm always a bit split on the discussion. On the one hand, I absolutely think the Gophers should compete for more titles as a Blue Blood and the national championship drought has been agonizingly long. It was made all the worse in that talented 2023...

So far no other Gophers have been invited. I'm wondering if Jameson Geers, Le'Meke Brockington, Darius Green and Derik LeCaptain might still get some attention. To note, the Tropical Bowl roster hasn't been announced yet. Another Minnesota State Moorhead player has received an invitation to an...

Amazing to me how Pat and some others in the local media have treated Fleck, and in the past Kill and Pitino, but hardly ever came down anywhere close to this hard on Ben Johnson.

Couple videos to celebrate.

I get the posts saying college sports is a business and he's going in search of more money. But honestly, to me it's another sign that if this is going to be treated like a professional business with players getting paid, then contracts need to start getting introduced for a certain number of years.

Big Ten now 5-0 in bowls so far.

Huge swing in the Military Bowl, ECU looked like they scored a TD to go up 17-7, it was waived, Pitt picks up a dropped fumble and takes it to the house. 14-10 Panthers. Again, it's a shame Pitt isn't playing Penn State right now.

So with the win, Fleck now has five seasons with 8 or more wins. Here's how that stacks up to other Minnesota coaches: Henry Williams - 6 PJ Fleck - 5 Bernie Bierman - 4 Murray Warmath - 3 Glen Mason - 3 Jerry Kill - 2 Couple notes there: Henry Williams had 6 seasons of 6-1 or 6-0-1. Bernie...

Looks like tough sledding overall this year for the Group of 5 against power conferences in 2025. After Minnesota's win today, and counting the CFP games, teams from P4 (plus Washington State), are 8-1. Results: Oregon defeated James Madison, 51-34. CFP Round 1 Mississippi defeated Tulane...
