    Post Game Thread: Gophers Are Mayo Bowl Champs!!!! Finish 8-5!!!

    Agree except that I think we robbed ourselves at Michigan. Re-watch the first half. The Gophs had the stuff to beat Michigan; but for self-inflicted wounds, it never should have come down to an onsides kick.

    Cody’s replacement at MLB in 2025 unless a transfer is brought in?

    Transfer Portal so far (UM, IA, NE, WI)

    I think this is right ... will depend on what individual schools approve for football. Also could, I assume, be limited by a conference wide decision (e.g. B1G might limit football scholarships to, say, 95). So, for all we know, in the absence of any B1G dictate, PJ might have current authority...

    Neal: With CFP expansion, P.J. Fleck and the Gophers should have loftier goals

    Bad take. The Gophers' goals are lofty. Every year. The Gophers also, unfortunately, play in the real world. In a 12-team playoff, with certain spots ceded to conference winners, it is likely that the most playoff teams from the B1G in any given year will be 4 (like this year). My personal...

    Minnesota Vs. Virginia Tech - Duke's Mayo Bowl - Media Predictions

    A lot of teams this year have had good bowl showings from younger players who got a chance to start because of transfers, opt-outs, etc. Same could be true for VT. The QB the Gophers will face, Pop Watson, is, I believe, a dual-threat QB who can generate offense. Actually started two games this...

    STrib: Max Brosmer can cement his Gophers legacy in bowl game vs. Virginia Tech

    This is the Brosmer "legacy" for me. Brosmer helped PJ accept 21st Century offensive strategy (and just in time, as the B1G is really changing). Showed him that you can (and should) use the whole field, and use all your playmakers. You have to take a bit more risk, sure, but the rewards can be...

    Another NIL mess…

    Very good analysis of how contracts, and their documentation work in real life. I’ll correct one faux pas in my earlier analysis. There are “written” contracts and “oral” contracts, the latter being spoken but not documented in a written memorandum. All contracts, written and oral, are “verbal...

    Another NIL mess…

    Verbal contract will often have some corroborating paper or electronic communication trail. Not a complete, unitary written agreement. But bits and pieces that, in their totality support a completed, provable agreement.

    Another NIL mess…

    Exactly: The verbal contract consists of an "offer" (play for me at FSU and I promise you $250K in NIL money) that was "accepted" (the players stayed at or transferred to FSU to play). Furthermore, the players fulfilled their end of the contract by playing ("consideration" to support the...

    Hey Jim Mora, name names or shut up

    A little problem with naming names: you'd better have the receipts firmly in hand, with no equivocating by potential witnesses. Publishing an accusation that Coach A tampered with your players (a clear NCAA violation) is pretty clearly a defamatory statement. The truth is a defense, of course...

    Source: Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke entering transfer portal

    Wisconsin's current transfer class is rated a little higher than the Gophers' excellent transfer class. Wisconsin's HS recruiting class is also above the Gophers' HS class (as it is virtually every year). Of course, Wisconsin, because of so many starters transferring out, has more to replace...

    Dylan Ray OL from Kentucky Commits

    Johnson seems to have gotten over the arm-twitch false start that occurred much too often in early season games, killing several drives.
