Chalk this up to "learn something new every day!"

Isn't he from Georgia?

Agree, other than personal preference, what has Kevin Durant ever done to be on a this list? I actually enjoyed watching Tom Brady as well and outside of the steroids Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa easily have provided the best baseball storyline in the past 30 years.

It blows my mind that someone that is fat, out of shape, and slow is maybe the best offensive player in the world, easily in the top 2 or 3.

Would be an awesome road trip. Golden Gophers vs. the Golden Domers

The only difference is I know barring injury that Justin Jefferson will be on the Vikings for the forseeable future and if he were to become disgruntled we will trade him and receive players and draft picks in return. NFL stands for Not For Long for many players... but your stars are usually...

I don't know how to answer this question. I have next to zero interest in college basketball. I'll still tune into March Madness but the first round games were the first non-Gopher games I have watched all year. With Gopher basketball, I like, not love, them like I used to. They used to be...

Not a bad list for a small town Minnesota boy!

That's kind of where I am. I used to be somewhat protective of college athletes because they are kids. They may still be kids but when you start making 10x-15x the amount of money that my wife and I make a year you no longer get the kid treatment. If college coaches were smart they would...

I thought Gerrit Cherroff (Spelling?) has been our GM since PJ got hired. Maybe he has moved on, but I remember when PJ was hired he introduced him as a GM and thought that was odd. Boy was I off, now college football GM's are common.

I went back to the year 2000 quickly. Imagine I made a mistake somewhere because the original post was 6 runner-ups. Champions: 2000 - Triton AA 2002 - Rushford-Peterson A 2004 - Rushford-Peterson A 2006 - Rushford-Peterson A, Caledonia AA 2007 - Caledonia AA 2008 - Caledonia A 2010 - Caledonia...

The counter argument is/was recruiting is the lifeblood of a program. Hard to beat your opponents when they are beating you in your own backyard. There probably isn't a better example than Wisconsin Basketball over the years vs. the Gophers.

Two unpopular opinions that I have regarding coaches in the Minnesota world: 1) Tim Brewster doesn't get nearly enough credit for what he did in building relationships with Minnesota High Schools. Yes, he was a poor head coach in a lot of categories, but the Gophers were in rough shape with a...

KG is an intense dude. One of my all-time favorite players. He is definitely a loyal guy and has embraced the community.

I bet she would recruit better than Niko would here for the men's program.... That is not a slam to Niko...
