    Wow! ESPN...I mean ABC taking every opportunity to tell us the B1G is over-rated.

    Gotta love the TV crew for the Notre Dame vs. Indiana game.

    Kristen Hoskins - a Gopher recruiting hidden gem

    Or super quick. It's amazing sometimes seeing the jitterbugs among the giants. The quickness difference is very evident.

    Phillip Daniels already linked to Ohio State, tampering?

    Ohio State has struggled for several years to get enough good guys on the OL. It's the primary reason for their "struggles" this year. I bet he starts for them. Plus, they get a local kid that is more likely to stick around. Being close to family and friends and playing for your dream school...

    The Golden Years for college football coaching salaries has passed

    Right. It's starting with coaches giving back some of their excessive salaries to keep their jobs. I'd imagine that in the future most coaches just get paid less to start with. We'll see. I mean maybe a great college coach is worth MORE than a great NFL coach. Is college football even more...

    The Golden Years for college football coaching salaries has passed

    For years, coaches, administrators and facilities soaked up all the money that should have been going to college football PLAYERS. As we all predicted, that's changing now...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    Sorry about that. My comment wasn't really directed at you either. It was more general in nature. You just happened to be at the tail end of a string. I don't like the pervasive negativity on these boards sometimes too. I get it....especially after a couple Gopher losses in a row this...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    On a scale of 1 to 10, the negativity of leib0039's initial comment was a one. I didn't even notice it until you all went off and piled on. Dang! Give it a rest. A little PTSD about the Gophers falling back into becoming a running team that ignores the pass is not that crazy unreasonable...

    All Things 2024/25 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    If you’re a top pick you should be getting pretty good NIL and can afford to buy a pretty good insurance policy against injury, right? You could also improve your draft stock as long as you do have that insurance policy in place, right? To your point, that insurance policy premium probably...

    Pros and Cons with the new playoff system

    I agree 3-4 auto bids would be a joke. I’m concerned about expanding it more because these are young men and most of them still aren’t getting paid that much to beat up their bodies. The longer the season the more likely injuries become some of which will last a lifetime. Plus, many of them...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    You might be right, but I hope not. We have to play to our strengths whatever they are. It was a lot of fun this year with a legit passing game! So far, it looks like it could be hard to replicate. Things are changing so quickly and so much more money seems to be pouring in that I can’t even...

    Travis Hunter Heisman speech - It's hard to not like this kid.

    A lot of athletes give off a vibe of arrogance and entitlement, not this guy.

    Bill Belichick to become the UNC football head coach

    I work in sales and just thought the fact he is so old at 72 to just be starting as a college coach AND has a 24-year old girlfriend could be a huge turnoff to a lot of mom's that have a heavy influence on their sons. It even turns off a lot of us guys on this site. These guys are very...

    Pros and Cons with the new playoff system

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love the current 12 team set up with 4 first round byes for the 4 highest rated conference champs. I don't care that they aren't the 4 highest rated teams. Win your conference or transfer to a weaker one if you don't like it! I think the SEC & B1G want to...

    Gabe Powers, Ohio State, enters portal and sets three visits - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas State

    Former 4-star, 8th ranked LB from 2022 generated a lot of interest in the portal, but only set three visits. Buried behind two fellow 2022 recruits, 5-stars Sonny Styles & CJ Hicks. Also beat out for playing time by 2023 4-star, Arvell Reese. He was good enough to be on their second string...

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    Ryan Burns said they already paid Lindsey and so do not have enough NIL to pay for a starter level QB in the portal when the team has so many other needs to fill.

    Bill Belichick to become the UNC football head coach

    This!!! And he is 72. Tom Brady and Belichick were having a power and ego struggle in New England because it was unclear whether it was brilliant coaching or QB play that should get the majority of the credit for all those Super Bowls so they broke up the band to see who could make it on their...

    Alabama AD to reevaluate nonconference slate after CFP picks

    Your exactly right on the G5. You see G5 schools ranked in the lower part of the AP poll, yet when you look at their records, they played one P5 school and lost, yet they are ranked above the Gophers and Illinois. While the gulf between Alabama and Minnesota has shrunk, the gulf between the G5...

    Alabama AD to reevaluate nonconference slate after CFP picks

    We are very much in agreement. People seem to forget that Colorado got crushed by Nebraska and yet they were in the running for the Big 12 championship. I'm not sure if those conferences "deserve" to be in the CFP mix, but I'm happy they are. It's better for the sport. Most people still want...

    Transfer portal

    Just listened to a pod that said the Gophers have recently invested considerable NIL into Drake Lindsey and, because we have a lot of other needs, we likely won't be getting as good a quarterback as Brosmer from the transfer portal this year. I agree with you that we have to be careful...
