    KC Star: Kansas took two D-line transfers from Minnesota. They think Jayhawks are ‘hungrier’

    One of the best pieces of advice I've received over my many years of employment: Never burn bridges. You one day will need them. Without exception, this has been true for me. I've burnt a bridge or two and it always comes back to haunt you. I have a feeling Mr. Booker will regret what he said...

    Aaron Philo Commits!!!!

    Appreciate your posts! Generally, Minnesotans have a immediate skepticism about anything good. I've lived around the country and Minnesota is different in that sense. You'll hear about the "Minnesota Nice" thing (and it is true), Aaron will thrive here. In fact, even the most skeptical...

    East-West Shrine Bowl Thursday - Gopher Participants

    Nice tight spiral. By the way; it is great to see Howden playing again at home (thanks for bringing that up Ogee). He's added a lot to the team and hopefully he gets drafted.

    4* WR from Illinois in portal

    I cooled on him after he channeled his inner Ky Thomas.

    Official 2023 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    This makes sense for a lot of colleges, but Memphis is a dirt poor rundown ghetto. Beal Street is cool, however, living in Memphis is all about the blues. Trust me, there are no big donors anywhere near that town.

    Gopher Uniforms for Bowl are?

    I'm 60+ and always cheer for Otis' Full Banana. One day, it will happen and the world will rejoice.

    Irving to the end zone, can’t compete at MN

    I don't think there was any love lost when Irving left. He didn't like being called Bucko and Mo rubbed it in a bit. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BUCKOOOOO !!! <a href="https://t.co/DHM3x4z0SI">https://t.co/DHM3x4z0SI</a></p>&mdash; Mohamed Ibrahim (@_MoIbrahim) <a...

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    Sounds like it's starting off great! Spilled drinks already? We're missing the party. Have fun!

    Pinstripe Starting QB Thread

    I don't know your age, but in my day you treated every game as critical. There's a huge investment (both monetary and personal) on the participating schools side and its against an outside the conference rival. It's my understanding we've played Syracuse more times in the last decade than...

    Pinstripe Starting QB Thread

    Agree. One thing I don't want to see would be Morgan start and later get pulled because of how he's playing. Someone mentioned this being his 'Swan Song'. It would be a bad way to end a career with the team you've invested 6-years in only to be pulled because of performance. I'd let AK start...

    Weather @ Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl

    Have hiked this numerous times. West side up to Dixie Mine is awesome!

    Bryce Williams

    It sounds like AK will be turned loose this year. Perhaps we'll have the RBs in the mix. While he's not the featured back type, he's a good option through progressions. He's got better hands than some of our current WRs.

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2023 football recruiting class?

    There's a lot to like here. Besides the Receiver Corp, the OL looks great. AK will have some time to work his magic. Speaking of line, the RBs should see some nice holes. Mo will be missed, but the line will compensate....maybe not as much in '23, but we've got some nice sized recruits coming...

    How does "Coach Prime" get away with this?

    I have seen the same sorts of things happen with other programs. A coach comes in, walks a fine "rules" line, continues stretching the rules, and eventually is found out causing the entire program to be harmed. I'm old enough to remember SMU. Started out innocent enough and grew to the point...

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    Good analysis. My guess is we'll see Athan get turned loose. This game may be an easy over on the Over/Under.

    Purdue Hires Ryan Walters

    Illinois had one of the best defenses among power 5 schools. Based on this, it seems like a good hire. Purdue on the other hand had a middle of the road defense. He'll have his hands full with a culture built around a passing offense. Being a head coach is a whole lot different that a coach...

    Ranking the 41 college football bowl games from best to worst (28. Pinstripe Bowl: Syracuse (7-5) vs. Minnesota (8-4))

    If it's any consolation, here's what it looked like last year ( Note; we had an 8-4 record last year): 33. Guaranteed Rate Bowl: West Virginia (6-6) vs. Minnesota (8-4) It’s hard to get excited about this one unless you’re a fan of either of these teams. This is a Minnesota team that lost to...
