Props to Nadine for asking that! Based on other threads, I may be in the minority, but I loved to hear him talk about the Barn. Now, he's not going to use his opening presser to rag on the Barn, but just the fact that he was so enthusiastic was good to hear.

You're assuming it was the real Fleck and not his stand-in.

If you think our concessions are bad, you need to go to another college stadium. The Bank has a wide variety of different types with unique options. The lines can get long and before they fixed the POS it could be frustrating, but holy cow, not nearly as bad as the much older venues. I remember...

Are you Niko's agent trying to drum up a bigger paycheck from the U?

Do you usually mold your career based on what your father-in-law wants? This newfound paranoia over Niko is amazing.

It's not always the U being the boogey-man. People can direct their NIL $ where they like. If you were a person that had enough money to donate to the Gophers NIL, would you send it to the football team, hockey team, volleyball team, etc. where there are legit, experienced coaches that have...

I have to believe Medved would jump at this job in a heartbeat. You can afford to make him your 5th/6th option in your back pocket. No need to go with him right out of the gate. Swing for the fences first. He’s not my first/second/third pick , but we could do a lot worse. Thorson was part of...

The point you’re missing is that it is in fact dependent on the coach. There are plenty of people who aren’t going to contribute NIL $ to a sinking ship with a coach over his skis that has the personality of a wet paper bag. In the new world of NIL, coaches need to add “salesman” to their list...

Have you forgotten Taurus Samuels?

The problem is the other B1G teams get revenue sharing as well. So yes, they're spending money, but by comparison to conference foes they're still coming to a gun fight with a knife.

This. I'm placing a higher priority on "good teammate veteran guy" at this point to coach up JJM than the guy that can help them win the most games. You pushed all your chips in on JJM, so you should be doing all you can to help him succeed.

Agreed, you can't make any sort of predictions based on the roster at this point. However, you basically have to if you're Coyle, because if the team ends up winning 3-6 conference games, what exactly was the point of leaving CBJ in place? So projecting based on limited information is what ADs...

Let's ignore if you think he "deserves" another year for whatever reason you choose, and just look at this objectively. What is the absolute best-case scenario for next year that is actually plausible? Looking at the roster, Betts, Frank Mitchell, Grayson Grove and Asuma will be the only...

Looks like their approach is sign guys that had significant injury problems in 2024 and hope they rebound (Hargrave, Allen, Fries).

I guarantee you these columns are already written, just waiting to be released. The only question is how many will straight-out call race a factor, and how many will merely poorly veil it.

Looking at Jim Engles' resume, he has been shockingly bad. Through his first four years, his conference win % was 0.285 (CBJ is sitting at 0.278 for reference). Then COVID happened and the 2020/21 season was cancelled. After that, they chose to give him 4 MORE years. And shockingly, after doing...

Was he pre-promising NIL dollars to their kids?

Keats’ conference win % is 60% better than CBJ’s. His resume would make CBJ blush. Yet, we’re still here…

I cannot fathom why anybody wants to watch that d-bag.
