    Game 2 Uniforms?

    That's a road kit. Guessing we'll see it at Ohio State.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    There is certainly some risk in hiring him, but he has a winning record and two division titles at Northwestern. I am not saying I'd hire him, but I will be surprised if somebody doesn't.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Seems like a good fit both in terms of the way he wants to run a program and as a place where being associated with hazing allegations wouldn't tank his prospects for getting the job.

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    His agent has said that Fitz wants to get back into collegiate coaching. I imagine that his name will come up nearly every time a coach is let go. Curious to see who will pull the trigger and actually hire him.

    SEC’s Going to 9-game schedule, Will feature 3 contests vs. annual rivals: Here’s how it will work

    Mississippi State doesn't have another P4 game on its schedule for '26 and '27, so likely those games will still be played. (Yea!) Alabama has Arizona scheduled for '32 and '33. Those games might be in danger of being cancelled or re-scheduled. (Boo!)

    All Things Minnesota at Oregon Road Game Thread

    Tickets through the U will mostly be in sections 35-36 if history is any guide.
  7. 2nd Degree Gopher

    Northwestern’s motion to dismiss the wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former coach Pat Fitzgerald was denied today, Fitz seeking $130MM.

    Maybe, but I'd guess that he's also been advised that he is unlikely to receive serious interest from any major college football programs (or TV gigs) until this is all behind him. Seems most or all of the player suits have been resolved, so now that he's resolved his claims, I'd expect that...

    Kiddos at the game

    The answer is Northwestern State. Early in the year, 11:00am start, likely to be decent weather, small crowd, cheap tickets and non-suspenseful game. Biggest tip is to acknowledge that you are doing this for you, not your child since he won't remember it. Not saying that to be negative, I did...

    Gophers vs Buffalo (Viewing in Manhattan)

    Good luck! As someone who finds himself in that area a few times a year I'd appreciate it if you would report back on your experience. Always nice to know your options.

    Big Ten football officials this season received an increase in pay to $5,500 a game.

    It seems to me that in the old days they would some times talk about that information on the telecasts. "The Side Judge today, Joe Brogan, is a corrections officer for the State of Florida. Wonder how many of these Georgia Bulldogs will be seeing him again someday." Now that it's become a...

    Gophers/Huskers vs. Sir Paul

    Tough choice. Pay good money to see the decrepit shell of a former legend 35 years past primary relevance or go to US Bank Stadium to see Paul McCartney.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    This isn't correct. The state (or county), not the victim, brings a criminal action. That's why criminal cases are captioned "State of Minnesota vs. Accused Person." I don't know why there are no criminal charges here, but there are circumstances where the victim of an alleged sexual assault...

    Sacramento State is hiring Tim Brewster as senior associate head coach.

    After he was fired here he did some TV work. He was the sideline reporter for Fox (or an affiliated network) on a crew with Gus Johnson on play-by-play and Charles Davis as the color analyst. I don't remember much about it other than Gus saying "now let's throw it down to Coach Brew!"

    Boys Player of the Year hope to land a supporting role with the Gophers

    Here's the relevant quote from the article: Barnett will matriculate at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business next year. He’s not quite ready to abandon volleyball, however. He wants to join the men’s club team at the school and hopes to land a supporting role in the women’s...

    Gabe Weaver Commits to Gophers!

    A guy from Harvard will tell you he went to Harvard. A graduate of Penn will tell you he went to Penn. A guy from Cornell will tell you he went to "an Ivy League school."

    All Things Class of 2026 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread (Offers, Videos, Tweets, Rankings and More)

    Wasn't there myself and this is all anecdotal, but in speaking to a couple of people who attended the graduation, they thought that the shooter and the younger victim were engaged in a dispute of some kind and were not participants in or attendees at the graduation. Ceremony was over and most...

    Which road game are you going to?

    I'll be surprised if you can't find tickets for less than $20 if you wait until a day before the game. I took the trip the last time the Gophers were there and had a blast. Stayed in San Francisco and took the BART out to Berkeley for the game. Have fun!
