    Is This the End of College Football?

    I heard Brooks Bollinger talking about, back in the day, getting the call to step in for an XFL team after his NFL career was over, he said guys were at Dick's buying mouth guards and cleats because there just wasn't the type of infrastructure that the NFL has to support all that.

    There will be College Football This Year....

    Everything points to pretty low chance of large numbers of players having serious consequence from playing. Most likely case is somewhere between 0-1 players per team have. Pretty sure every school carries enough liability insurance to cover 0-1 players who get injured/sick with long term...

    College Football Will Be Postponed

    Just curious where you are getting 900 from? The Guardian story? Below is I believe the legitimate tracker at 163 as of today, your at almost 6 times that number. Still a tragedy. Everyone of these a hero. I think the rampant inflation of every bad statistic is part of what gets a little...

    Dan Patrick reports Big Ten had internal vote & by 12-2 margin, league members opted on not having a fall football season; Neb and Iowa voted to play

    Feels like the new movement is to be anti-immunology and using the same claims, vague threats of long term damage that can't be proved of disproved causal linking with insufficient evidence to other conditions(Kawasaki). Reminds me of Anti-Vax claims of autism caused vaccines Herd...

    What non-Gopher game will you miss the most?

    I always like catching a late night Saturday start of an ASU game, preferably against Arizona. Something cool about having a beer on a Saturday night and watching live football at 11pm. Admittedly I don't stay up late very much anymore. Too old. :)

    College Football Will Be Postponed

    Speaking as someone of Welsh decent. That's offensive. Careful, you'll lose your woke badge.

    College Football Will Be Postponed

    Everything in life is risk, Since my mother-in-law was diagnosed a few years ago with Emphyzema we have only gotten together when everyone is healthy. That's tough when someone gets a bug around Christmas, but better to get together off holiday and not kill Grandma. We could still infect her...

    College Football Will Be Postponed

    This will benefit the NFL, they will spread out regular season games to Saturdays, this still won't be a money making year for the NFL without fans, but there will be additional TV revenue. IMO, Power 5 froze out the players on purpose in discussing how the season would play out for fear player...

    St. Juste interviewed on CNN

    Nice to see actual interview where good questions are asked and guys can answer intelligently (with a little pause to gather thoughts) felt like a real conversation as opposed to all the scripted you ask me this and I'll answer this we usually get. So Players complaint is that, NCAA and Leagues...

    Bateman opting out of 2020 Football Season

    Agree to disagree, Tyler was drafted 161st, They are talking about Rashod being a first/second round guy. Love them both, but in two years of highlights I don't see the drops with Rashod that plagued TJ through his career. We will never know what could have been, so TJ's stat line as a...

    Bateman opting out of 2020 Football Season

    For a fan that has seen some really tough breaks for the program, this feels like about par for the course as a gopher fan. Can't have nice things. :mad: Have to just renew our faith that Fleck has other Rashod's in the pipeline, but gut tells me he was a once in a generation talent.

    ACC Releases Updated Football Plan

    I think without find a home in a P5 conference, in a year where P5 conferences are electing to play only internally, ND's TV money could have evaporated if the scheduled 10 non-P5 opponents.

    ’18 Athletic Department Study Showed Serious Racial Bias in Iowa Football

    That makes it a cultural stereotype that isn't racial. I went through some recruiting camps with my son and daughter and when we went out west or out east coaches would talk about liking to sprinkle in some midwestern kids (white or black) on their rosters because of the work ethic, even if...

    All Things COVID-19 College Football Impact

    I think the research on surface transition is getting pretty close to saying it's a non factor, however add in the fact you often see the QB licking his fingers pre-hike in order to better grip the ball, that could make surface transmission more likely. That could be a pre-hike ritual we just...
