    Buffs - Coach Prime

    If I'm the Titans I'm begging the Cowboys to do this. They get to pick up Dak Prescott and probably some additional assets in a Herschel Walker-type deal to make the Sanders family happy. Or the darker path ensues where Shedeur refuses to play for any team except the Cowboys, forcing 11...

    Dragan Kesich declares for the NFL Draft!

    The 49ers kicker was missing almost everything the last couple games. Could be a match.

    Dragan Kesich declares for the NFL Draft!

    I think it's becoming a thing to publicly declare for the draft even if you are out of eligibility. Technically speaking, all players who want to be in the NFL must declare for the NFL draft, regardless of their remaining eligibility. I suppose it's like saying "I'm open for employment" after...

    Is it fair that Notre Dame is independent?

    A wild idea would be USF (South Florida) instead of FSU. Not only is it the opposite acronym but USF just joined the AAU in 2024, is located in a top 15 media market (Tampa Bay), and plays in a NFL stadium. I know they don't have the football history or massive fan base of FSU, but they would...

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    There's no replay of it that I can find, but Faalele reprised his wave we saw a couple times at the U, including when he scored that spring game TD. There was a small scuffle between the teams under 2 minutes and he did a big 2-handed wave goodbye to the opponents. You can do that when you...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    The more structured this all gets the better things probably get for the Gophers. It sounds like sacrilege but the best possible outcome for the Gophers might be a college football premiere league that is a fully affiliated minor league for the NFL. Gophers would probably be in the cool kids...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    This is generally true of left-leaning economics and politics as a whole. The floor is raised but the ceiling is lowered. People's opinions on that outcome vary. Personally, I think it's better for the wealth to be spread more evenly, though far from equally. I think that parity and balance...

    Source: Veteran offensive line coach Matt Limegrover stepping down at Kent State; open to an analyst role at a Power Four institution

    Not a great start to the PJ Fleck head coaching tree. Flashes are only drawing about 5,000 fans for each home game and were only within 19 points in one MAC game vs. 3-9 Ball State. Lost to Tennessee and Penn State by a combined 127-0

    What’s needed make a step up?

    In addition to what others have said, a truly top level QB would help. It's been over 50 years (1972) since a Gopher QB has been drafted in any round of the NFL Draft. Not even as a flier back in the 12 round era. Not even when the Gophers have had some very good teams recently. There...

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    B+ or A- Best era of Gopher football since Murray Warmath. Some big high points along the way. Positive face of the program and leader who we can be proud of. Has brought stability to the program to the point where Minnesota is one of the most stable rosters and coaching staffs in P4...

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

    Good point. The Gophers have a really good net transfer ranking unless something big changes. Only lost one player who was likely to be a future starter this cycle, and gained a bunch.

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    True, though the board room doesn't design anything except the plans to lay off the people who did do the work.

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    The announcers were fine for a mid-level bowl game where the sponsor clearly put them up to a whole bunch of not-football tasks. It was an infomercial for mayo where the sponsor inserted itself into the game the most I have ever seen from a bowl. The weirdest parts were the several moments on...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS VIRGINIA TECH DUKE'S MAYO BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I've been saying it's the grossest food since I was a 3 year old. People assured me I was crazy. If I'm the crazy one, why it's the only food that has marketing campaigns based on how gross it is?

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS VIRGINIA TECH DUKE'S MAYO BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Reverses don't work that well when the other team has had so many guys in the backfield like the Gophers have
