  1. 2nd Degree Gopher

    Adding insult to injury, took me 65 minutes to get out of parking garage last night

    I am always amazed at how few fans tailgate after the games. People who will get up at 5:00am to be one of the first in the lot when it opens or will tailgate for five hours before the game all seem to want to leave as soon as the game is over. My group typically hangs out for an hour or so...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Thanks. We are staying in Old Town and planning to use the shuttle to get back and forth.

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    Happy to see that they are trying, but $110 for a three hour tailgate party? For "traditional tailgate food?" With no cheaper option for those who don't want or can't have alcohol? My group of 10+ would go at half that price, but will hit the bars, restaurants and concession stands rather than...

    And a review of the Iowa State game film seems to confirm it to be the best approach.

    Sun exposure on north side?

    F*$k you! --Northside fan

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    The conferences have largely taken over the bowl selection process so the "who travels well" discussion is far less of an issue than it was previously. I am sure that they enjoy seeing a pack of Gopher fans all sitting together, but the athletic department really doesn't care where you buy your...

    Minnesota Vs. Nevada 2024 Media Predictions

    This is exactly the type of inside information I have been looking for! Time to empty out the kids' college fund. ;)

    I think that the replays are usually available right after the games end.

    UNC Attendance

    An inch of rain is quite a bit, especially if most of it falls during the prime pregame and early game hours. But you are right, it just might miss us! Looking forward to it either way.

    Mo Ibrahim signs with the Vikings

    I would think that there is almost no chance for him to make the active roster. He was signed to come in, play this game and take the hits off the guys who are going to make the squad. If he impresses, maybe they will try to sign him back to the practice squad. At this point, I think the...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    Unless they are worried about an avulsion fracture where the tendon pulls away a piece of the bone.

  14. 2nd Degree Gopher

    Matt Ruhle said the loud stadiums at Minnesota and Colorado to start last season basically took him a bit by surprise.

    The atmosphere that night was electric. The crowd was well lubricated and really loud.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    I don't have ready access to the numbers, but from what I remember, hockey historically made a profit. That changed as attendance dwindled toward the end of the Lucia era. They should be able to do better than break even over time.

    UCLA coach DeShaun Foster with a really awkward Big Ten media day opening statement (video)

    My apologies to Scott Frost. I thought his blank stare and waived opening statement was as awkward as it could get. Scott Frost refuses opening statement

    Ohio State players received 'around $20 million' in NIL, believed to be largest amount in college football

    The rival agent isn't going to know anything and is more likely to want the market artificially inflated for his or her own clients than to try to tear down somebody else. The IRS isn't going to care if your agent says "we secured NIL rights payments of $X for our clients last year" or your...

    Ohio State players received 'around $20 million' in NIL, believed to be largest amount in college football

    I don't think there's any verifiable public information on the amounts being paid. I believe that the schools collect information on who gets paid and for what, but that is mostly to be sure that the NIL deals don't violate the allowed subject matter. (For example, the University of Minnesota...

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    Lots of scholarships to help balance out football. I know two girls in my neighborhood who went to Division I schools (not the U) on rowing scholarships and neither of them had ever rowed before.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    Agreed. And they should be able to generate more revenue from those two sports, plus softball. It's been a few years now since I have spoken to anyone about this, but at that time there was a reluctance to increase ticket and donation levels for volleyball and softball because they were viewed...
