    Other Bowl Games Thread

    Yeah, not sure how there is even anyone arguing about that one. He ran into the guy with not attempt to look for or make a play on the ball. That is about cut and dry as it gets really. If the player had turned to look and/or made a play on the ball it would be a different story. It was kinda...

    Other Bowl Games Thread

    It was a good game to watch. Too bad there weren't more in the playoffs like this one that there was. Luckily some bad calls didn't end up changing the outcome of the game. Though I think the PI call on ND was definitely correct.

    ESPN bowl monopoly

    I think it just comes down to that there really aren't any bowls that are huge draws that aren't part of the playoffs now. A lot of ESPN's content is covering B-tier sports events so these bowl games fit right in that. Most of the major networks probably look at ratings and say they can...

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    That seems like a failure of the marketing team for the game and local chamber of commerce. Even a low level bowl game has enough of a draw to bring in a good amount of business locally if you make it look like an event people should care about.

    Charlotte's Mayo bowl game suffered the smallest turnout in its 23-year history on Jan. 3.

    It was 42k with NC vs VT last year. 37k in 2022 for Maryland vs NC st. 45k for NC vs South Carolina 44K for VT vs Kentucky 48k for Virginia vs South Carolina 32K for Wake Forest vs Texas A&M back in the early days this bowl used to draw 50-70k but in recent years average is like...

    What’s needed make a step up?

    I feel like the issue is we don't have big play makers on offense. We good players like Darius Taylor and Jackson at WR but losing Jackson. Brockington looks like he could maybe be good in a larger role next year but outside of him they're pretty thin at WR unless someone steps up or they have...

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    Yeah, he has produced about the same number in 7 years as Mason did in 9 and while I was a little on the fence about Mason I thought he did will with producing NFL players.

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    I think he's the best coach they've had since I have been alive and I'm 50.

    B1G vs SEC

    Best thing was Alabama losing to Michigan. All that crying about not making the playoff and they can't even beat Michigan. Gave me a huge smile that day. I seriously wonder if Alabama could beat the Gophers. They just seem to think because they're in the SEC they should have some sort of...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024 football season?

    It's a nice stat but at the same time I would trade 8 low level bowls for one major bowl win or to even be in the playoffs.

    Mayo announcers may have been worst ever

    I think it was a case of the sponsor had a lot of demands as far as mentions and stuff like that. So the announcers probably had to do some of this sort of stuff as part of the contract. I bet if there's Duke's Mayo Bowl next year you will probably find the same crap. Bowl games, money talks...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024 football season?

    C+ I think they showed they're a solid Big Ten team. But they should not have lost to NC & Rutgers. Should have won vs Michigan. Had Penn St. on the ropes. Really feels like this team should have been more like 10-2 maybe 9-3 in the regular season. Then they would have probably made the...

    Fleck on Brosmer: "I think he is the best processor I’ve ever been around.”

    He might be one of these guys that floats around practice squads for a while and might get on a roster at some point then go into coaching if that's what he wants to do. Or maybe he might just go right into trying to get into coaching on some level. Not sure if he has said anything about his...

    STrib: Max Brosmer can cement his Gophers legacy in bowl game vs. Virginia Tech

    Good point there. Of course you have to have the QB that can do more than throw slants which may have been part of the issue in the past.

    STrib: Max Brosmer can cement his Gophers legacy in bowl game vs. Virginia Tech

    Agreed. Talking about a legacy with a one year player is dumb. Should think of it more in terms of him have the most impact a player can in one year. If he can cap off a good season ( I believe he did very well coming into a new system/team ) with a bowl victory and leave things in a good spot...

    The Gophers would DOMINATE the SEC

    IDK about that. I think they're fairly similar. If I were ranking them together: #1-Ohio St. #2- Oregon #3- Georgia #4- Penn St. #5- Texas #6- Tennessee #7- Illinois #8- Alabama #9- Indiana #10-South Carolina #11- Michigan #12-Ole Miss #13-Missouri #14-Iowa #15- Gophers Pretty Even numbers but...

    STrib: Max Brosmer can cement his Gophers legacy in bowl game vs. Virginia Tech

    I think Brosmer's biggest impact on the program going forward is if he has positively impacted Lindsey. He's had a good season and would have like to have had him for his whole college career but years from now the hope is he's known for having provided vet experience and being a good example...

    Another NIL mess…

    People should know at this point to get it in writing. Promises mean nothing legally if you don't have it in writing.

    How would you rank the final eight?

    #1 Oregon #2 Ohio St. #3 Georgia #4 Texas #5 Penn St. #6 Notre Dame #7 Arizona St. #8 Boise St. I think Oregon and Ohio St are the two best then Georgia, Texas, and Penn St. all seem pretty equal. I do think that Notre Dame is clearly better than Arizona St and Boise St. I feel like of the...
