According to EduRank here are the Top U of M alumni. Lets make some phone calls and get that NIL budget going. Sad, (no billionaires?) - but if the University ever made an action movie we got a star studded cast.
1. Brock Lesnar
2. Jessica Lange
3. Ron Pearlman
4. Ric Flair
5. Kris Humphries...
Just wanted to give roses to whoever books the Cambria Classic; Vandy and Ole Miss - nice pull! Hawaii would be a fun watch as well. I plan on going to a few games next weekend. Not expecting the Gophers to do much in this tough pool play that also features Nebraska and Maryland. Hope the Gophs...
I thought the whole point to give Ben a chance was to prove how great a recruiter he was - especially with in-state talent? If Christie leaves that will really be a kill shot to the program. Can we start a separate thread on who the Gophers will hire in 2024? Those are always fun.
Maybe we should start to accept that we are not landing any of the "big three"....
So I was with some friends at the Wolves/Moscow game - barnburner huh? - we got on the topic of the local big three in this years recruiting class. One of the guys in our group was a Gophers season ticket holder...
Okay. Maybe not.
I know he's a Freshman, but are we going to see him on the field more? You have to have some talent to be California's all-time record holder in career catches and career yardage. Seems like Mitch likes throwing to him as well when he's on the field.
In other news, want to...
Found online this morning from Dan Owen and 247Sports.
Since Richard Pitino was hired at the beginning of April, there’s undeniably been a buzz amongst Gopher fans towards basketball recruiting that hasn’t been present in quite a while. Certainly the spike in interest has been justified, as...
I don't get the hysteria around the possibility of losing out on Jones, Vaughn and Reid. Sure, it will be unbelievable to land any of these kids, historical if we land all three but let's be real...it's not going to happen. Jones is as good as gone. Vaughn and Reid are better hopes and more...
Let me state this first, I think Rodney Williams is a great kid, he played hard and I think he's going to do better at the next level. I think it's also great he stayed home. But let's be real, his career as a Gopher was a little bit of a disappointment.
I don't fault him for that. Williams...
When did Oliver Stone start designing football uniforms? These unis for Maryland are a joke. Not to mention the ones Georgia were rocking over the weekend. It looks like a bad football movie or the XFL is back in business.
I know this might be a huge reach, but something to post about for the fun of it. But could it be we've seen Gray play his last day at QB. Shortell looked amazing on that drive. The difference between the two are night at day. I like Gray a lot. But Shortell looked quicker on the trigger and got...
Well got my issue today in the mail. Opened it up and saw this:
- Nebraska Cornhusker on the cover, front and center.
- The whole issue is practically an SEC preview, with all the West ranked. (Except Ol Miss, sorry Big Mike.)
- They pick Alabama to win it all, as far as I can tell.
Now what...
With the new success and renewed interest of the Lynx and womens basketball around here, wonder if any of this will rub off on the Gophers womens program? Could be a nice extra recruiting bonus if used right?
