Probably looking for a good FCS team. I've heard there's a few of those in the region.

This is true. I'm the sole reason in my family that we have a TV package subscription and it's only because of sports. Between free broadcast TV and a million other a la carte subscriptions like Netflix, Paramount, Prime, HBO, streaming on YouTube/Rumble, Pluto, FreeVee, etc., there's no need...

This was destined to happen with NIL and now revenue sharing. The coach is no longer the team's King Cahuna. He's no longer solely responsible for creating the roster, roster management, booster donations, marketing in addition to all aspects of coaching. A lot of that responsibility now goes to...

The NCAA will be moving to roster size limits, but removing scholarship limits for the Power 4 schools. Minnesota offers a lot of sports. Will they fund those scholarships? Potential scholarships for baseball, softball and wrestling will explode if the school chooses. I found this article...

See my correction.

He was a pretty highly touted 4-star out of IMG. Edit correction: I take that back. 247 sports had him as a composite 4-star but they had him as a 3-star. If I recall correctly, he had a very high upside physically but modest football-playing experience.

Well, no idea what the NIL situation is, but this frees up some $$$.

That sucks. You usually need to be pretty damn good to start at offensive tackle as a redshirt freshman.

Was Howden a walk on? For the kid to come in lightly recruited, get playing time as a freshman, develop into an All BG10 player, then ultimately stick to an NFL roster is quite the accomplishment for both player and program.

Fleck sends another supposed 3-star to the NFL in Ersery. Terell Smith Spann-Ford Otomewo Howden (might have been below a 3-star) Schmitz Mafe Kief Bateman, a 3-star then upgraded to 4-star very late. Add on the 3-stars he didn't recruit in Winfield, Johnson and Cashman. Were all these guys...

Fans were freaking out a week ago when the Gophs were losing three running backs. Now there's criticism from restocking a typically very important position for this squad. Lol.

Sounds like a Percy Harvin type position Meyer had running Florida. Taylor was effectively close to that role last year. On a side note, I don't hear the term "flanker" enough anymore!

Yeah, that was a real chickensh** way of ending the game. To make matters worse, the refs incorrectly call the game over then called unsportsmanlike conduct on Bethel for heated protest, so Bethel had to run the last play from their own 45 instead of the opponents 40 which would have allowed...

Holy crap. Bethel completes a 30-yard Hail Mary with time running out to win it, but the refs call it back for a ghost holding to end game.

Joe Tiller at Purdue owned Mason the way Ferentz has owned Fleck so far. I think Mason won once in his ten years.

"Play the game homey!"

I learned a new one today! I come to this forum for the education.

Yes. I use that one, usually in reference to waiting too long for something. For descriptions of moving slow in athletics, I use the "he/she forgot to unhook the plow" reference.

It's an outdated GenX phrase, but I don't care. It still holds relevance in my house on days like today and yesterday.

True. It's not much different from getting of the plane in Texas, Arizona or Florida on an August afternoon. They all give you a jolt.
