    Old time classic Gophers stuffs

    Like jerseys, helmets stuff or paper stuff like programs, national magazine articles, Trib pieces on Giel, Bobby Cox, Warmath;s Rose Bowl teams, etc.

    Army-Navy

    I watch it every year but as neither team can pass, the entire game is a big rugby scrum in the middle of the line - a heap of players after short runs.

    Nebraska's $450M football stadium renovation plan criticized as academic programs are cut

    The problem is that no matter how much money flows in from TV, it is all spent - and now NIL will add the burden of paying players so that alumni contributions and other contributed income will be diverted in that direction.

    Gophers coach P.J. Fleck says some transfer portal prices are in the millions, and not just for quarterbacks

    NIL is anarchy as is the portal. Both should be tossed by any means necessary.

    Tracy Claeys - What’s he doing now?

    A shame what happened to him here - blindsided by a sexual imbroglio before the season began, but revealed at the end of the season, just before the bowl game. The girl initiating it got off scot-free, but the boys were persecuted at once, though later some got softer sentences. He was a solid...

    NCAA President to propose New Division

    What did I say? The only real answer is to ban payment of any kind and to do it through Congress and the courts. Payment means unions, which means more and more money to amateurs - and not only in football. Payment could kill sports as we have known them, even at the high school level.

    Quick Lane Bowl Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota vs Bowling Green

    BG Got better as the season went on and would probably love to beat us again. But of Cole starts, we'll pass more effectively, run well with Nubin and get some field goals. But our defense is ???. So, Maroon Gophers (PJ hates gold) 27 Bowling Green 20

    College Football is Dead

    The best article I've seen on NIL was in the NY Times Oct 23, '23: "How Rich Donors are Transforming College Sports." The reporter goes into detail on how the NIL is being misused and becoming a fraud. Another good article was in the NY Times Jan. 24, '23, by Bruce Schoenfeld: "Student, Athlete...

    College Football is Dead

    It was the first year for the AP poll, which eclipsed all the single guy choices which had been argued over previously, in terms of a "consensus" champion.. AP was the only recognized arbiter of national champion until the coaches poll began in 1950 - it had equal authority, so they disagreed...

    QB Max Brosmer of New Hampshire commits to the Gophers

    Do we know that Kramer will QB the bowl?

    College Football is Dead

    You are right - it's pay for play with all players free agents, as PJ said, and with no salary caps. Total anarchy, totally unfair. The Court, as it often does, tries to play noblesse oblige, by reaching down to liberate the little aggrieved people (remember Madalyn Murray O'Hair?), so the...

    GOPHERS IN QUICK LANE BOWL VS BOWLING GREEN

    Definitely - revenge on Bowling Green - had to happen.

    Playoff could have used 8 teams this year

    GA should be in - a travesty to keep it out. FL State fans screaming, and how about Ohio St, lost only to #1 Michigan by 6 pts? Eight would have accommodated them all, plus TX and Oregon. But next year's arrangement looks weird: 12 teams that include the Power 5 champions whatever their rank or...

    What bowl do you predict Gophers will be in?

    Probably Detroit, vs. Miami of Ohio, the MAC winner.

    Drake Lindsey ahead of tonight’s State Championship game: Let’s gooooo!! RTB!!!

    PJ is doing his best to land him- but he needs to hire an OC/QB coach and to seriously look to a different offensive philosophy in which every play does not take the long count, always going for TOP. So refreshing to see the great playoff teams now on TV getting their plays off quickly.

    Darius Taylor is back next season!

    He does ID himself as "professional athlete" on his Twitter account. I suppose they are all professional these days - at the college level.

    Gophers Football needs major help

    All true, but what makes it more than a hiccup is the portal and NIL. They bode ill for future years, especially at a time when the 4 teams from the Pac-12 coming in. Hard to be an optimist.

    Turn on Liberty right now to see a real CFB offense

    Yes, you can see the old Bierman films era that cut-blocking was most of the blocking.
