Wasn't Johnson supposed to be so good he was pushing for freshman minutes? And now he's got a position? At a great size for the job? Sounds like the next JMS if he develops right. A 6'5" center that can also pull is worth its weight in everything. Like all Minny centers should worship under...

Y'all are cooking. Your DL should be sexy. If you can throw the ball too, I think some folks are going to surprised. Literally just throw the ball well and your lines will do the rest.

I still don't get how Minnesota can't just milk like $10 mil a year from Cargill just because it would mean nothing to them and be good PR. The biggest private business in the country is in your back yard and they can't throw relative chump change at being "for Minnesota, by Minnesota" or...

We once beat Wisconsin on something that most would consider some bull shit. It's still a win, and I tempered the "Well did we deserve it?" stuff with recollections of bad calls when we were in Madison that would have changed the game. They'll say it's bull shit, but they didn't care whenever...

You shouldn't focus so much on your national rankings, especially considering how underevaluated and underdeveloped the upper midwest is compared other parts of the country. The bigger news is that it seems like the significant majority of Minnesota and Dakotas players that are P5 ready want to...

ASU wrestles, plays hockey, outdrew an NFL team for 15 years before it had a series of unfortunate coaches and mediocrity, and is a top 25 team in terms of winning percentage with a National Championship they could claim but don't. Since geography no longer matters, and half the city of Phoenix...

Barring some sort of let down or other strange catastrophe, you are going to absolutely murder Colorado. Their defense is kind of scrappy, but I don't think they'd hold up even if their offense wasn't broken. The only way I can see it being competitive is if Morgan gets hurt and the backup kid...

Gotcha. Misunderstanding.

Thought I saw a discussion about whether or not he'd be "on the bench" or unplayable in certain situations. Maybe I skimmed too fast and missed some context.

From the outside looking in, it seems a little weird that there are fans knocking a player that will probably be drafted. You're good at TE.

It would be weird, from an outside perspective, for a guy likely to be a starter for the foreseeable future to leave when 2-3 of the guys leaving are going to be drafted (I wouldn't be shocked if Pinckney warrants a 6th or 7th round pick). I wouldn't sweat it much.

From the outside looking in, that sounds more like he got dropped. Encouraged to seek opportunities elsewhere. Whatever you want to call it.

Pinckney was a pretty known commodity though. He was All ACC, a team captain at Clemson and a heavy contributor for a National Championship team. Not the same. The ND transfer seems a better example.

I appreciate the input. I get some of the reasoning. On the other hand, how could some group like CHS/Land O Lakes at least not appreciate pushing a "For Minnesota, from Minnesota" campaign? Agribank, TCF, US Bank, etc. Those are regional groups. I get the pessimism. I do. There just...

I don't disagree but "Giving money that could go to charity" is a very Minnesota line of thinking. Nobody in the SEC, Ohio, Michigan or Texas would blink at it. And they aren't mutually exclusive. They could always donate. This is, presumably, advertising. They could probably use it as a...
