The Vikings did just that in the 1981 draft, if my memory serves me correctly. Traded their 1st round draft choice for a pair of second round selections, and wound up taking WR Mardye McDole and RB Jarvis Redwine. Good strategy for the budget-conscious franchises ;)

I take it you never attended a home game when Lou was coaching in dinkytown? The place was rocking like the Penn St. game a couple of years ago.

Wasn't former Gopher head coach Cal Stoll quoted one time as he brought the Gophers to Nebraska nearly 1/2 century ago for a clash of Big 10 vs. Big 8 teams... it was a Friday, the day of the walkthrough before the Saturday game... and the rickety, old Gopher team bus rolled past the Nebraska...

Tennessee boosters putting up big money for a QB... though not a Manning

If Lou Holtz would have made Minnesota his permanent home... like Barry Alvarez did in Madison... the Gophers would have made multiple trips to Pasadena, too. IMHO, Lou's achievements in Dinkytown would have exceeded Barry's accomplishments, in terms of winning percentages, Big 10 Championships...

Yeah.... it appears the budget for his assistants is "ZERO" :p

Please be careful with the language you use around here

Jim Wacker was an outstanding human being. I enjoyed him very much, and wished he would have had more success so that he would have been around here longer. He was a credit to the "U" and to the state of Minnesota. His offenses were fun to watch. He wanted to take advantage of leading a...

For those who attended Gopher games in the Dome, things got quite loud and even a little intimidating during the Holtz years of 1984-'85. BTW, I've never been to Bloomington, Indiana for a Hoosier home game, but I would anticipate that they will climb the rankings this year and beyond.

I agree with you on both of your points here.

Looks like the Big 10 West plus the old Big 8 North = The "Great Plains Conference" ??? Would be devastating financially and harmful to the brand for numerous charter members of the Big 10. For the gophers ---> lose a lot of luster and a significant step back vs. current positioning within the...

Jimmy Williams, for Round 2 ????? iirc, that cost the "U" a couple hundred thousand $$

Reading through this thread is like taking a trip down memory lane. Lots of nostalgia... Time and change.....

It's ideal to catch a 'blueblood' when they're down. This year, I anticipate Michigan will be down (maybe way down?)... Meanwhile, PJ will have the fellas ready to go in 3 weeks. Final score: Minnesota - 31 Michigan - 23

Each college student would have his/her choice.

@hungan1... I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. What a gift to be able to spend those last hours together as family, particularly on the weekend of your wedding anniversary! I offer my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers for you and your family. May God bless you and...

TCU safety Chris Hackett will forego his senior season and, like Maxx Williams, will enter the 2015 NFL draft... "...TCU runs a 4-2-5 defensive set, and Hackett's departure would means the Horned Frogs -- who are set to return 10 offensive starters -- will need to replace five of their back...

It was good to see two Gophers (RaShede and Brock) get drafted a month or so ago -- the first Gopher draftees since Eric Decker was taken 4 years ago. I noticed how many Gophers (relatively speaking) were drafted during the Glen Mason era, as opposed to the Tim Brewster era (blanked during...

Been thinkin' bout the stipulation in Jerry Kill's contract, in which his assistants are assured of being paid in the top 1/2 of the B1G going forward...:confused: ...have to believe all other college football coaching staffs around the Conference...and across the country....will sit up and...
