    Can we give the man a DAMN RAISE?????

    Look Touchdown ... me and you the same. I could have had a million raise but I felt bad that everyone else would be fired .... could have been a great actor but couldn't remember any of my lines ... had a great chance to play for the Vikings but I wasn't big enough or fast enough , otherwise...

    Hockey = less D I football players

    I would think that skating would keep them a little leaner than if they focused on football. Good Info.

    Hockey = less D I football players

    I did not know that there is no D II Hockey. So it is club hockey or D I. Even though we don’t have hockey I know of some kids leaving home to play club hockey while in H.S. That is quite a commitment. I agree with some of the others that the AAU programs in all sports are demanding and...

    Hockey = less D I football players

    No excuses ... asking a reasonable question to those who know more than me.

    Hockey = less D I football players

    I am not from a hockey area so will rely on insight from others. Was wondering if those in the know think that because we have so many DI and DII hockey players in Minnesota ... does that take away athletes that would be DI scholarship football players. If so ... just in looking at them from...

    Eight Gopher Early Enrollees Coming In January

    Lots of kids like HS and all the social aspects of it. They don’t want to miss out. Some excel in other sports and want to see them through. Others may not have the emotional maturity to leave home early.

    Faalele

    Was thinking the same thing. However, if there is any chance he may re-injury the leg long term then he doesn't play. I'm sure everyone will do what is best for the player.

    Faalele

    Will Faalele be back for the bowl game? Have not heard that he wouldn't or would be playing.

    Abi N-Okonji has Entered the Transfer Portal

    I think some of this is today's society. I am a retired H.S. coach in a variety of sports. I coached at a good sized school next to a bigger city. What I found in my last years was that some kids were not willing to battle for a spot. They basically wanted a guaranteed position. Jobs were...

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    Been a Gopher fan longer than most on here have been alive. So not trolling. The Gopherholers were stressing out and not understanding why any of our instate recruits would go to that place east of us. The simple reason may be that the coach is a likable person. Simple as that.

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    I just hear folks hating on anything Wisconsin. Listened to him talk a few times. Like Spoofin said maybe a little boring but seemed like a nice guy. Folks are complaining and not understanding losing kids to Wisconsin. Just saying a lot of people like a lower energy...down to earth guy.

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    I have probably read more about Paul Chryst and have listened to more of his interviews this year than I ever have. I know a lot of you could never put the fact that he is coach at Wisconsin aside ... however, I think he is a nice, down to earth guy that a lot of us would love if he were our...

    Less Predictable

    Yes I do and so do you .... every team has those things in their playbook. They just decide to use them or not.

    Less Predictable

    I see teams quite often try a trick play. Again ... it keeps teams honest. Just a couple come to mind ... every year the Patriots use those plays. Oklahoma seems to come up with those types of plays and he is considered an offensive genius. A silly response to say that by adding a few plays...

    Any time signing period

    I don’t know for sure but I would think anytime after the late date until the season started in the fall.

    Less Predictable

    The fun trick play once in a while would be fun. See. a lot of teams throwing them out there, H.S, college and the pros.
