Stumbled upon this, some good stuff in here. Collins seems like a guy who gets it. https://gophersports.com/news/2025/2/7/football-golden-gopher-podcast-danny-collins

Or @UCLA. They have been on a roll now. Just beat Oregon by 36 points last night and have won five straight. Nothing will be easy, for sure.

True. And, nothing is easy. At Nebraska (even though they are currently in the bottom 6) could be the toughest game we have left.

What are you talking about? The Gophers are 3-7. That is ten games. They play 20 Big Ten games. That is exactly the midway point. Some teams have played 11 conference games. We are technically PAST the midway point my friend. 15 teams have played 10 or 11 games. Three teams have played...

Who thinks that? No one with a brain.

Ok. SOS shouldn't factor into any analysis. Got it. Someone alert the NCAA Selection Committee please. And, it isn't "this early" in the season. We're at the midway point. That's past early.

I'm not "arguing" anything here. I was simply laying out the facts that Minnesota has not played anyone in the bottom six. And, of course, there should be an understanding that in an 18-team league and only halfway through a schedule where basically everyone is playing each other only once...

I get that, but the initial loss of seating was already planned. It ended up being an additional 6-8k after plans changed. They can't be surprised they lost 15k seats. They could be mildly surprised they lost 6-8k seats from the original renovation plan. They chose to skip phase three...

Lost 15k seats? They were planning on having 50K after renovation. They changed plans and will end up with 42-44k. That is a loss of 6-8k. Not 15k.

Well, yeah. Everyone would rather that happen.

I believe the tiebreaker would go like this for the three teams that are 3-7 (combined record against all teams in the tie): Penn State 1-0 Minnesota 0-0 Northwestern 0-1 Northwestern dips to 16th place based on the tie-breaker.

The good news, based on the tie-breaking procedures, the five biggest games left on the schedule are against the four worst teams in the league: Saturday vs. Washington Feb 4 at Penn State Feb 22 vs. Penn State Feb 25 vs. Northwestern March 1 at Nebraska Win most (or all) of those games, and...

Also, the game may have dictated a lower viewership. Let's not forget is was 27-7 two minutes into the second half. There was likely a tune-out factor. If the game was 27-27 at that point, the numbers skyrocket. It eventually got closer, but by that time the chance to get a huge number was gone.

Also, think you mean 13 years after the Gangelhoff scandal.

There is only one clear person ready for the Nut House on this thread and he ain't realizing it.

Mark Coyle fired Lindsay Whalen, who is a Gopher and Minnesota sports living legend after doing more on the court and recruiting better than Ben Johnson. Mark Coyle fired Tracy Claeys after one of the most impressive bowl wins in program history and a nine-win season. Mark Coyle (in essence)...

Yes. This is the sole reason women's rowing exists at the University of Minnesota. They picked the sport that offers the most women scholarships to get as close as they could to equal without having to add 2 or 3 other women's sports. It is also why we have only women's soccer (no men's).

I'll bet there are a whole bunch of college football coaches today wondering how they are going to fulfill their $12 million+ commitment to pay players this fall with what will turn out to be maybe less than half that. They have to be scrambling for answers. Revenue share was one of the ways a...

If it kills women's sports at universities, it will kill men's sports, too. You cannot have men's sports if you don't have an equal opportunity for women. That's what Title IX is all about. So, if you kill a women's sport, some men's sport that has equivalent number of scholarships will also...

Definitely, there are all kinds of guys like this in low majors. Heck, the Yale coach James Jones, who some want as a candidate here....check out his first 14 years on the job there.
