Since PJ was an NFL wide receiver when he wasn't a social studies teacher (and he had two all-Big Ten WRs early on), the lack of game-changing receivers over the past four years is all the more disappointing.

The UMass final four was also vacated.

Ha -- good one!

I think you could make the case that it has helped their football team quite a bit. They've cycled through four basketball coaches since 2006. Big money helps, but you still need the right leadership to make it work.

I would say the NCAA's poor communication about NIL rules -- or maybe it's enforcement -- has been a debacle (in addition to free transfers). I've heard Coyle and his guy in charge of NIL, not to mention Derek Burns of Dinkytown Athletes, say multiple times that NIL is not supposed to be for...

Brosmer is sitting out as a precaution for ... what? He'd have the red jersey on so he doesn't get hit. Why would the new presumptive starting QB sit out?

I've seen some people on Twitter outraged by this, and others who are mocking those people. Our group likes to go, as long as it's above 40 degrees and not raining. No game? We'll survive. But it sure seems like a missed marketing opportunity. I know we don't fill the stadium for this, but it's...

Yes. It's happening ... you're in the middle of it.

He'd be crazy not to. And if UCLA called Matt Rhule, he would've answered, too, then announced he was staying at Nebraska. I mean, I know they didn't show interest in Rhule. But coaches who don't at least talk about other opportunities to get a raise, if nothing else, are doing it wrong

If Fleck leaves, half the team enters the portal at a time when other players aren't out there for us to pick up. In that case, we could go winless in the Big Ten next year. Rossi might be the best chance to keep many of those players and have a better team next year. But would we better in...

I don't get the sense that many people think of Muss as "one of us." However, many of us are hoping there's enough of a loose connection that he's the rare established coach who might actually consider coming here at a price we could (or would) pay. I doubt it, but we can hope.

The Gophers had chances to improve their image in the Big Ten over the past few years and haven't done it. They are where they belong for now.

I would guess it's pretty standard for a coach to tell a player who's not ready to commit that the scholarship might not be there if they wait too long. A coach better be looking for Plan B in that case. Conversely, a player who doesn't want to announce it on social media should be a red flag to...

Georgetown grads probably don't regret going there, but they may talk about it more often when the basketball team is good. I worked in St. Paul for about a dozen years and constantly met people who offered that they went to St. Thomas. There were Macalester and Hamline grads, but they never...

I read it as if he was talking about next year, when six wins are not a sure thing.

Fun speculation, but Coyle wouldn't be the one to talk to about that.

I don't know why a player like this wouldn't be interested in the Gophers (aside from questions about our commitment to the forward pass). I'm not sure if this specific player would be a RS freshman or a sophomore in 2024, but how many first- or second-year guys would expect to start for their...

I like the bigger M. They used helmets in practice with an even larger, skewed M that I love but I don't remember seeing in a game. Give me the Fleck helmets (use the gold-not-chrime more) with Kill or Mason unis.

I keep hearing people talk about this. You sound very informed; maybe you can answer a question I've never heard answered: How many trans individuals are receiving a scholarship to play a women's sport? (Penn doesn't give athletic scholarships.) To hear some voice their concerns, you'd think...

He played quite a bit in the CFP semi-final. He couldn't have gotten that here.
