ST. PAUL, Minn. - A University of Minnesota spokesman says school leaders support a legislative proposal that could bring beer sales to the on-campus football stadium. But public relations director Chuck Tombarge says it would be up to the school's Board of Regents to decide how to manage any...

If you currently have one spot in one of the tailgating lots, are you allowed to buy an extra space?

Gophers are ranked 77th. Karl Mecklenburg: "I love the number 77, but I think you've ranked the Gophers too low. Coach Kill will have Minnesota competing every week. This year will be the start of a steady climb back to national prominence for the maroon and gold." Other notables: 9. Nebraska...

From Sporting News college football expert Dave Curtis: "Of the 21 schools that hired new head coaches for 2011, none will be more pleased than Minnesota. Jerry Kill can make the Gophers Big Ten contenders." Apologies if this was posted already.

There, I said it. And, yes, I'm one of those annoying egomaniacs that had to start his own thread to comment on this. Just got to watch the press conference, and I'm on board. He seems to be everything that idiot Brewster was not. Keeping my season tickets. Keeping hope alive. Maturi is still...

For whatever that's worth. No more info than what's out there as far as a name goes, but there WILL be a press conference for the Gopher football program on Monday.

Showed the replay on Big Ten Network after the game. You could read Brewster's lips perfectly: "Going for two up 25 in the fourth quarter is horse-shi*" Then Bielema tried to say something and Brewster pulled away, saying, "Mother-fu**ing a**hole." Sure, Bielema is a jerk for doing it. But...

A staff member of Gopher Illustrated has posted a rumor from a "credible" source that Dungy has agreed to be coach. They're saying they don't believe it, but they posted it anyway since it's from a "credible" source. Don't shoot the messenger!

I just wanted to make sure this particular nugget wasn't lost in the shuffle around here. I really feel this is worth its own thread. If I was Maturi and read this quote, I would fire Brewster on the spot. "I felt great about us moving the ball in the two-minute (drill), about kicking a field...

Let me premise all of this with the fact that if I had to guess (which I'm obviously doing), I would guess that Brewster won't be fired until later in the season or immediately after the loss to Iowa. Having said that, I think all this talk about it "making no sense" and being "impossible" that...

The Sporting News preseason college football poll came out today and has the Gophers ranked last in the Big 10 and 98th overall.

Lots of new faces entering the starting lineup in 2010. I don't know enough about these younger guys as I'd like. Can someone (or multiple people) post what they think the starting lineup is going to look like? I'm interested in both sides of the ball, but especially the defense.

The Minnesota House has rejected a move to ease booze restrictions at the University of Minnesota's campus football stadium. The vote was 111-18 on an amendment to a higher education bill on Monday. Democratic Rep. Phyllis Kahn's proposal would have reversed a law requiring alcohol to be sold...

I read an interesting blurb the other day in regards to LSU not having that many highly drafted players in the Les Miles era. It talked about how Miles has landed a good number of top recruits in the nation, but very few of them have panned out (as far as being NFL-caliber players). So he's...

Please, Mr. Maturi, we are begging you. (If you agree, feel free to sign your name below. If you disagree, I question your judgment, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.) Go Gophers!
