    BOOM!!! Justin Hopkins commits to the Gophers!!!!!!!!!

    Tennessee currently has no active starting DBs in the NFL, and just a couple of roster-fringe reserves. Theo Jackson (Vikings) was their star with 11 tackles this year. The Gophers have 6 such players, all starting or getting heavy reps. Including the highest paid DB in NFL history.

    Mandel’s Mailbag: College Football Tiers

    If you are wondering, Texas A&M who is supposed to make it "every 3-5 years" hasn't won their conference in 27 years and has only won 10+ games once in that time. Minnesota and aTm have finished ranked 17th or better nationally the same number of times (3) in those 27 years. Ole Miss hasn't...

    Music & NIL

    Why did the U stop booking major acts at the Bank? For a while it was a major A list concert venue - Beyonce, U2, Rolling Stones, Imagine Dragons, Kanye, One Direction, Nicki Minaj - and then it all stopped around 2018...

    Ranking the Head Coaches in the Big Ten (9. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    I honestly believe most of the people on this board could have gone at least 8-4 or 9-3 at Ohio State last year as head coach. Let the super experienced, top-dollar assistants cook with the X and O stuff and lean on the best roster. A rando probably would have taken an L in the playoffs, but...

    Ranking the Head Coaches in the Big Ten (9. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    Fleck usually finishes above 9th place in the standings (including this season) and does it with less resources than most other Big Ten coaches. Seems like 9th is underestimating him. But this is one of those lazy lists with Day on top, Lanning from Oregon, James Franklin...as if all Big Ten...

    Nebraska may cancel Spring game

    They are talking to the same cryptographers who invented the sideline boards with Spongebob, a footlong turkey sandwich, Warren Buffett, and Klay Thompson on them. The same ones who made up any video game roster without an official license. Dylan Raiola will be #51 Hammock Pirates (an anagram...

    Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will hold fewer people than expected after renovations

    Being surprised that they lost 15,000 seats is crazy. Architectural malpractice. Memphis football averaged 23,000-25,000 per home game this season while being 11-2 and ranked, so it's doubtful they will ever fill a 42,000 seat stadium let alone 58K. They should probably play in a 30K stadium...

    College Soccer is Looking at Becoming a Pro League

    People have told me I was ridiculous for repeatedly suggesting this may happen over the past 2-3 years. College soccer is just the warm-up act. A proof of concept for a bigger interest/money sport. The other direction this could go for another sport is the end of college eligibility limits...

    Drew Wolitarsky cut by Winnipeg Blue Bombers

    Releasing a player who has been with you for 8 successful seasons right before paying a $12K annual bonus (8,314 USD) is an all-time cheap-ass move. Even most boring white-collar jobs would frown on this, and they would also be paying bigger bonuses. Mine was much larger than that this year...

    Max Brosmer 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Minnesota Golden Gophers QB

    I don't know. Is anything around the Sanders family normal? I don't recall QBs who were first round locks playing the postseason scouting games in the recent past. I don't know if they went and schmoozed and interviewed or not.

    Max Brosmer 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Minnesota Golden Gophers QB

    Shedeur Sanders said he isn't going to practice for or play in the Shrine Bowl, so that should help Brosmer get more reps. Max, Shedeur, and Kurtis Rourke (injured) were the 3 original West team invites, so that means Max has a good chance to start this game. Mizzou's QB also got invited to...

    Official: Collins named DC.

    Well deserved. Pass defense has been the most consistent success factor for Gopher football for over a decade, and safety has been the program's best position group in that time. It's never been as true as it is today. Coach Collins has a lot to do with that. Love the promotion for a loyal...

    25 Hottest college football coaches ❤️

    Mariano Sori-Marin should have made the list, but he's probably too new to coaching to have been included.

    Homecoming Game Announced

    Kids are getting dates with signs that say HOCO on them? Or signs that say anything on them? Do i need to change my approach with the (18+) ladies to magic markers and poster board? Maybe some construction paper in the club?

    Mohamed Ibrahim is expected to become the running backs coach at Kent State

    Congrats to Mo! First major step on the coaching path! Let's hope things go better for Kent State in 2025 and make his and Kenni's stint last.

    Zack Lucas?

    I don't know if he is working with the NIL/paying players and Portal side of things. Sounds like his past roles were in equipment management, facilities, logistics like meals and travel and lodging, and managing other support staff. Says he was a "liaison between the football program...

    Gophers hiring Kevin Kane for on-field coaching role.

    He's a badger (grad school) who just coached by far the worst defense in the conference at Purdue. I dunno about this one.

    The Athletic final 134 Rankings for the 2024-25 season. Gophers #39

    Not to the fate of the universe, but it's a decent difference in the pecking order. The computers saw what we saw, which was a team that probably could have finished 9-4 or even 10-3 with a couple different bounces/calls
