    Brosmer

    Brosmer is now tied with Dungy (1975), Cockerham (1999) and Weber (2009) for 10th place in single season touchdown passes with 15. The No. 9 spot is held by Asad Abdul-Khaliq's 2003 campaign. Max, who has 2,426 passing yards, needs 105 more to pass Cupito's 2005 season with 2,530 to take the...

    All Things 2024 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    Fun side note, it's amusing to me how Northern Arizona has a domed stadium. I know North Dakota, South Dakota, NDSU, Idaho and Idaho State play in domes, and it makes more sense with colder weather rolling through there. For Arizona, though? You'd think they'd have an outdoor space. Seems like...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers lose heartbreaker to PSU

    Tough to lose a game like that. They had their chances but to pull upsets like that you have to avoid mistakes on top of making the big plays. Unfortunately some mistakes still happened in the form of turnovers and the fourth down fake punt. Hurts to not seal the deal, I hate they didn't stop...

    ***OFFICIAL PENN ST AT MINNESOTA BATTLE FOR THE COVETED GOVERNORS VICTORY BELL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They could play us 10 times and they might win 9. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we play with them. Tonight we tackle them, and we shut them down, because we can.

    You can own a replica copy of the Governor's Victory Bell!

    Y'know, I'm not a fan of the Bell. I think there's little need for this game to have a trophy and it were up to me, it would be retired and displayed in the College Football Hall of Fame.* The Bell could easily be replaced with the Chair, considering the Gophers have more game history with the...

    Minnesota Vs. Penn State 2024 - Media Predictions

    Not much good in these ones as expected, so brace yourself. The Star Tribune has Penn State winning 27-23 Penn State rebounded from its 20-13 loss at Ohio State by thrashing Washington and Purdue by a combined 84-16. That comes with a grain of salt because Washington is 0-4 on the road and...

    UMass decides to not honor individual seniors on senior day

    They put out a statement on it this morning. Apparently they have 54 seniors/graduates/finishing eligibility on the team so they decided to do a pregame ceremony instead I guess? https://x.com/UMassFootball/status/1859929903501881715

    All Things 2024-25 College Football Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    Couple things. One, it's interesting how that's two coaches now who leveraged success at Houston to get jobs at bigger Texas teams and then falling off. Kevin Sumlin, Houston to Texas A&M, then Tom Herman Houston to Texas. Both fell off there and then couldn't replicate the success at their...

    Minnesota Vs. Penn State 2024 - Media Predictions

    College Football News predicts a 27-16 Penn State win This isn’t the Minnesota running game of the last several years under PJ Fleck, but when it gets past 80 yards the team is 5-0 - and 1-4 when it doesn’t. But in those five wins the Gophers cranked up 116 yards, and Penn State has allowed that...

    Maybe the universe made up for this when Winfield Jr. went here rather than follow his dad to Ohio State.

    All Things 2024 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

    It's true and it's basically how it was for decades. I said for a long time that we practically had five divisions of college football, P5, G5, FCS, DII and DIII. FBS was pretty much separate but equal. With that in mind, I always thought the best solution was using the auto-bid systems for the...

    Who 👃an Upset on Saturday?

    I do. I know this team isn't on the same level of the 2019 squad on either side of the ball. However, I feel like this team has had its moments and given an opportunity like this, they can pull off something special. If the defense is as opportunistic as it can be and the offense is as efficient...

    Tim Brewster will be the new head coach at Charlotte

    I think he probably understood that, but also realized it was all he really had to offer. Glen Mason could say "look at what I did at Kansas." Jerry Kill could say "look at my track record at Southern Illinois, Northern Illinois, etc." Fleck was able to leverage his work at Western Michigan...

    Our Nebraska friend Jon Johnston on Minnesota legend Bronko Nagurski

    I'm from the Falls and been to the museum many times. The guy's title rings are displayed there and they're huge. I remember my dad telling me about the gas station where he tightened the cap as well. Our school Falls High named the teams after him with the Broncos. We have a trophy case in the...
