    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I don't know I have seen a lot of posts that say just cut the non-revenue sports. I know it is not the stated goal, but that seems to be the theme.

    Students paying students: How the U is trying to stay competitive in athletics

    I agree with everything except how lucrative NCAA football is painted out to be. Some schools yes, but most no. And maybe they could be more lucrative as the point was never to make money before, but it is now. But I'll admit, I have followed the Gophs since I was a kid and watch a copious...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Yeah, but that has always been part of the understanding. The socialistic nature of it made it still feel somewhat amateur. If the end goal(as many on here seem to want) is to get rid of the collegiate sports and become de facto second tier professional sports, then it is sort of pointless to...

    Gopher Hockey Recruiting

    I'll have to admit, the bar analogy does make it make more sense. Now I kind of want a beer....

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I like your posts upnorth, but can't say the argument of charge em a little more because they are already being charged a bunch moves the needle much. And $200 to someone paying their tuition probably with a job as well can be a lot of money. Maybe not to the guy with the 6 figure NIL deal...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Does seem odd that post after post on this site says that sports are generating an ungodly profit and then they need $200 a student to pay the players.

    Gopher Hockey Recruiting

    Yeah bonin is annoying, but amazing how seriously some take it, sort of like how amazing how serious bonin takes it. But the truth is even with his negativity, bonin and upnorth are the only two people that provide any insight and information on the hockey board, even though it is framed...

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I feel like this 6 game road trip is kind of going to decide this season. If we go even 2-4, I feel like it just isn't going to happen this year and we should just prepare to sell what we can.

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    To be clear: 1)I would love to have the problem of him blowing up 2)I don't think he leaves even if that happens(even though admittedly, I don't' know him) But that being said, it is still worth taking note if a player says what he said. You have to admit this board would take notice if a...

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    Not worried about it, but it may not be as impossible as you guys seem to believe if he excels. Bucky Irving and Philip Daniels left for money or hometown appeal. Like I said I think PJ and staff are in better position to keep guys around than many other programs. He said iArkansas was his dream...

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    Being afraid of a flood and being prepared for one are two different things. We are ahead of other teams in our ability to keep players, but not immune.

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    More money and his dream school in his home state seem like possible reasons.

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    You hope he remembers our commitment to him if he blows up here. You just never like to hear about a guy on your team's "dream school" when it isn't your team.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    CBSportsline had the Twins draft class as one of his top I am torn on this one. I certainly don't want to part with him, but I agree with CBSportsLine today. There isn't really anyone out there who is gonna draw a huge haul like Ryan. Still leaning to not trade him.

    RandBall: Where’s the money? Gophers budget shortfall raises questions

    Cutting the actual amateur sports. This what it has come to. Getting rid of athletics that give a bunch of kids chances at attending college. All to make room for second rate professional sports.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    Let BYU do their thing, it’s their religion. I’m not Mormon but the reaction here is embarrassing. But it is Gopherhole….so you can expect it.

    All things Players Coming and Going.

    You should have said "your denial sandwich, with a side of mediocrity." You kind of started a restaurant metaphor and then just stopped. I know it is nitpicking, but if you are going to be the mean, depressive guy on this board about the hockey program, you gotta really stick the landings, if...
