As Gopher fans, we tend to gripe a lot about how the team is treated by the media and sports analysts, but from what I've witnessed on an informal basis, PFF has been pro-Gopher in a lot of its statements. They seem to like what Fleck has been doing and tend to rank Gopher players higher than...

I get Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV on a 3/$15 per month deal with Xfinity. I don't know if that's still available or not, but my rate has yet to increase.

I agree with and like the three posts that precede mine. College football is already a ready-made minor league for the NFL and the NFL owners know that. The situation is almost like minor league baseball in the 1950s when there were over 200 teams and many of them weren't aligned with a major...

Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Norman Borlaug has a great statue on the St. Paul campus.

I did get my Master's Degree from the U and did play on a co-rec team that won the intramural softball championship in 1984.

Everyone needs to read Reinhold Niebuhr on the subject. Sex is part of who we are. It doesn't mean we should all run around naked and be absolute libertines, but the hand-wringing gets to be a bit much.

I'm not ripping BYU. They have rules and Retzlaff (thanks for the correction Gopher Pete) broke them and has the face the music. I am tweaking Retzlaff's reaction and the jokes write themselves. One could say that he was only trying to fill his missionary obligation.

Ratzlaff is withdrawing from BYU after BYU did not allow him to enter the portal. Quote from the article: "After a lot of prayer, reflection, and conversations with those I trust, I've made the difficult decision to officially withdraw and step away from the BYU football program," Retzlaff...

I don't know if it's actual bias, but somehow Nebraska still gets "Helmet School Points." Wisconsin isn't a helmet school, but they had a great run under Alvarez and there's still some hangover there. Still have to play the games, so we'll see how it ends up. I think Rhule is a good coach and...

It's an uncomfortable new reality and we can now all see that the agreement passed a couple of months ago on revenue sharing (or whatever it was) isn't going to mean squat when it comes to NIL, which will continue on its merry way. It is what it is and I'm not going to gripe about it, but it...

Funny thing about the Childress hire is that he was slated to interview in Green Bay for their head coaching job the next day and rather than let that happen, the Vikings made him an offer that he took on the spot. Packers end up hiring Mike McCarthy, who while certainly no genius worked pretty...

Correct. I took the headline off the net but messed up the paraphrasing.

We know he's a blue collar player.

Jake Ratzlaff has been charged with sexual assault and is facing a 7-game suspension at BYU for the upcoming season. Reports are he is moving on. BYU QB Jake Retzlaff reportedly transferring in wake of honor code suspension stemming from sexual assault allegation

I think his passes would just sail away.

I agree. I'm no great basketball mind, but I think Battle is better suited for the NBA game with his shooting range and he looks to be a bit more mobile on offense and can set up quickly either off the dribble or off a screen with his shot. Key for Garcia will be what he can do on defense. He...

Better than mit Kraut (where's the umlaut when you need one).

This is small potatoes compared to a lot of the other Federal court injunctions with national reach, but the Supreme Court's decision yesterday would seem to invalidate whatever the NJ Federal judge ruled.

I'm spitballing (which I often do), but for all of the contacts Brewster had developed as an assistant, he never came from what I would call a "coaching tree." He just seemed to assemble a staff like a drunk going through a grocery store and just throwing things in his cart. He had moved...

My guess is there's a conversation about how the player envisions his future and the coaching staff talking in vague terms about how they see the player, as in, "Once you get into our training program where we can get a better assessment as to where you might best be used, we'll talk to you...
