I think someone is just guessing. I haven't seen anything anywhere.

They are going to need to go to divisions very soon. It will be evident potentially as early as next year when we have 4-5 teams tied for 2nd place with 2 losses each with very few common opponents between those tied teams.

You are on point. I think culturally Minnesota is different than the south when it comes to football. Football in SEC country is religion. If you are someone giving money to NIL in Louisiana, Texas, or Mississippi, you are revered in your community. If a major donor in Minnesota decided to...

NIL is the wild west right now. Some Universities, like MN ensure that a legitimate transaction takes place. (That it's not just pay-for-play). There needs to be money provided on on side of the transaction and a legitimate service provided on the other side in return for the money. These...

It's funny we have to post retorts to people who don't believe having Bucky Irving on the Gophers offense against Purdue could have had an impact on the game. That's just a really bold take and a conclusion the poster made on his own. Not something PJ said to take him down that path. The...

It's not logical. People who are angry will be angry no matter what. PJ isn't Margaret Thatcher, but the same rules apply. "If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim."

What's ironic about this all is we as fans have zero impact on the Twins / Vikings etc. Whether we sell out Twins games or not, we know the Twins aren't going to spend more than X% on payroll. Introduce the opportunity where Minnesota fans CAN have influence on an organization through NIL, and...

Not having your emotions tied to things you can not control is a sign of maturity or growth. You can still enjoy the sport, but understanding the unlikely hood of a Minnesota football team having multiple consecutive winnings seasons is unlikely because the vary laws of the came and the fabric...

Your post is largely reasonable and wise considering these times. We have been a top 10 program the last 3 combined full seasons in achieving wins over Power 5 teams. Fleck has won here more than anyone in 60 years. The climate of college football is on a hectic race to change for change's...

You are over-emphasizing a loss to Purdue if you felt this was the point you had to make on this topic.

What were Athan's best games so far as a Gopher?

I don't bet, but if I did, I'd be wrong more often than usual. But I'd put money on the Gophers this week. OSU's offense isn't THAT prolific. We've played OSU tough in other years where we should have been boat-raced (2018 with Robb Smith was 14-30 in a game that felt closer than that). If...

Did he have any of those last year or in 2021?

Athan is in his 3rd year at Minnesota. He's OC's from recruitment to now: Kirk Ciarrocca Mike Sanford Kirk Ciarrocca Greg Harbaugh He barely played as a high school senior. Spent freshman year at Minnesota under Sanford Spent redshirt freshman year with Cirarrocca First year with Harbaugh...

He hasn't lost the team. If he has lost the team, we'd have kids in the transfer portal today. People LOVE LOVE LOVE to say "Oh, HE'S LOST THE TEAM!" They are one of the most disciplined, least penalized teams with excellent GPA teams that exist in all of football. There are players who are...

If you don't think PJ would look attractive to other AD's in the power 5, then we just disagree. Not a lot of athletic directors are going to stew over the fact PJ is 5-5 at Minnesota with a sophomore QB and depleted RB and LB groups. Some AD will believe they'll provide better support to PJ...

Penix and Nix are both in the PAC12. Marvin Harrison Jr is good.

That's a nice story. The year is 2023 and evidently people like to watch college football in December. So much so that TV networks make money showing it on TV. Advertisers throw money at the TV networks for getting millions of people to watch. Guess which teams actually get a million fans...

Last I've seen is that he's with Kent State, but I am assuming he's sitting out this year since he has no stats, no appearances. I'd expect him to play next year. In other news, I believe Cam Wiley is done with football even though he may have had some eligibility left.

I think PJ will take this into consideration.
