    Recruiting Concerns

    PJ is a good recruiter. He has proved that. Another concern of mine is the horrible optics the city of Minneapolis is getting in the national press due to the looting and rioting. Its an embarrassment and an albatross around PJ's neck in the recruiting wars. Non one wants to send their son...

    Long-term vs. short-term: Can Minnesota fix its ailing defense?

    We are paying the price for a lot of swings and misses in the past 3-4 years on recruiting the defense. Hopefully this will be corrected. Also, we have missed on several high level instate OL recruits in recent years. Again, this must be corrected.

    Iowa receiver arrested

    S-M was a Gopher commit before he flipped to the Hawks. What would be the penalty if he were a Gopher and this happened in Minneapolis? Oh, I forgot, Minneapolis downgraded/defunded their police so he probably would not have even been arrested in the first place.

    U cuts men's tennis, gymnastics and track and field

    Our ire over this is misplaced. The blame of COVID rests entirely with China. We are all paying an enormous price for their intentional or negligent actions with regard to the virus. The Title IX aspect is just a red herring. As I understand the facts, the U's male/female ratios are only...

    2020-21 Gopher Loyalty Program Goes Virtual!

    I would pay good money just to avoid Mark Coyle.

    West Virginia President says that the Mountaineers will play this fall

    I disagree on CA's business climate. It is the most repressive, highly taxed and highly regulated state in the nation. CA used to be the home for nearly 14 auto assembly plants. Now, except for Tesla in Fremont, they have zero auto assembly plants in CA. Same with lead battery plants and on...

    Chip: It's about time college athletes get paid for use of their name, image or likeness

    I totally disagree with the OP. Endorsements will go to the very few gifted athletes only. Out of about 750 athletes at the U of MN only a handful would fall in this category. It will exclude virtually all non-revenue sports, except for family and girl/boy friends, etc. Women's sports would...

    STrib: Michael Wright, a Gophers star who led Supervalu for 20 years, dies at 81

    Mike excelled in everything he did. He was an academic All American at Minnesota, top of his law class at the U of MN Law School, All Pro for Bud Grant with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was with top law firm in the TC's and went on to head Super value as CEO for twenty years. I've never seen such...

    ESPN: Grand Valley State suspends OC Morris Berger for wanting meal with Adolf Hitler

    Hitler is without question one of the most deservedly vilified persons in history, but it looks like our PC police are at it again. This is nothing new in academia. They like to manage what can be said and show little tolerance for contrary views, especially, as here, they are repugnant to our...

    College Football Head Coach Salary Rankings

    As Jerry Kill said...We (coaches) aren't worth this kind of money compared to other university/faculty members. We get it only because we bring in a lot of revenue and we're really in the entertainment business. That's honest and close to the truth.

    Citations From Iowa City Trip

    Like others, I have gotten a speeding citation going through Cedar Rapids. But remember, usually they only cite the owner of the vehicle who may not be the driver. Therefore, no points should be given by the DMV and it should not impact your insurance rates because there is no proof that you...

    STrib: Playing career ending, Carter Coughlin's connections to Gophers will remain

    We need more CC's who are totally loyal to their home state and are active in recruiting local highly rated players. What a great asset he has been to Gopher athletics. Great credit to his parents and grandfather, former Gopher AD Tom Moe.
