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

    Outraged? That's what you read? Lol. The OP is outraged over a $200 fee on top of a $30,000+ in-state education cost.

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

    Yeah, my comment was made at least partially tongue-in-cheek. It's really hard for me to get riled up about another $200 fee when it's a tiny drop in the bucket for funding a kid's college education.

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

    What the U should have done is bury the $200 somewhere in the $30,000+ cost of attendance for an in-state student.

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

    Ahem, non-scholarship students have been effectively paying for athletic and other scholarships since time began. This is just an itemized extra cost.

    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    This was my initial thought. UW was a regular opponent from the mid 1930s to 1950s and I think was Minnesota's next most-played team behind Nebby before they joined the conference. https://www.winsipedia.com/games/minnesota/vs/washington

    5 star tackle commits to TTU for 5mil over 3 years

    The current college system is ideal for the NFL. No investment nor responsibility for the minor league and its new wild west of rules (or lack thereof). This college wild west gives NFL scouts another important datapoint for player character/values.

    Gopher Softball 2025

    Posters on this board consistently painted her as a demon and that probably contributed to a bad rep. I got the feeling some were crazy parents.

    Urban Meyer's bold claim is correct, Big Ten has passed SEC as top-dog conference in college football

    Actually, I don't recall seeing those game analyses since BTN moved most things to Fox.

    Urban Meyer's bold claim is correct, Big Ten has passed SEC as top-dog conference in college football

    I'll quibble with this. I really enjoyed his team analyses spots on the Big Ten network...except when it was Ohio State.

    Seeding Changed for Upcoming Season

    Last year's weak Penn State bracket with SMU and then Boise soured everyone. Boise was barely a true top 25 team much less a top 4 seed. Then top ranked Oregon getting screwed being in the Ohio State bracket didn't help. I'd like to stick with the 4 bye/auto bids If conferences were closer in...

    Music & NIL

    I think John Cougar every time I hear about Farm Aid. Jack and Diane. Little Pink Houses. Cherry Bomb. Gosh, I'm old now.

    Music & NIL

    My daughter and bestie saw Willie a couple years ago as a bonus of going to see Zach Bryan. Call me jealous. She said Willie's son pretty much ran the performance. I gave them pre-concert homework in watching Honeysuckle Rose so they could appreciate him at his best before he lost his breath to...

    Ranking the 10 bleakest QB situations among Power Four conferences entering the 2025 college football season (#2. Minnesota)

    The author needs a thesaurus. Bleak is completely the wrong descriptor. Uncertain? Unknown? Unproven? Risky? Those and more would be more fitting terms for handing the reigns to the young stud that studied for a year behind the older guy now in Vikings camp. We don't know. The Gophers QB could...

    Bare Bones SUV EV for +$20K

    I actually like that it has roll up windows, no radio (who needs it nowadays?), etc. Way back in my 20s, I bought a little Ford Ranger stripper with absolutely no options. Roll up windows, manual transmission, vinyl seats, rubber floors, and I think I deleted the AM/FM radio (put in a...

    Bare Bones SUV EV for +$20K

    Yeah, I thought the ad was great. It sounds like Bezos is a major investor, so I would hope he wouldn't put his stamp on junk.

    Bare Bones SUV EV for +$20K

    I didn't know a Kei truck could be delivered to the US! Those little things were everywhere eons ago when I was in Okinawa. The bare bones pickup I keep hearing about is the Toyota IMV 0 that unfortunately won't be sold in the US.

    Bare Bones SUV EV for +$20K

    Slate Truck. I love utilitarian bare bones simplicity and would buy this. To be made in the US in Indiana (I think). A base model version after tax credit is proposed to be under $20K!

    Ersery just drafted

    I was hoping he’d sneak into the 1st round with KC but the Texans are a nice spot. Hard to beat that.

    Early Mock Draft - Gophers

    Wow, the Texans are a great landing spot for Ersery. An instant playoff contender and one of league’s best QBs!

    Early Mock Draft - Gophers

    Wow. 4 OL in the first dozen picks including 3 tackles. Ersery's stock might be increasing.
