    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    There's no way Brosmer is the backup to JJ but the thought the Sam Howell won't be the backup is picking up a lot of steam.

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    Doesn't factor farmers who make their wife a farmer for purposes of doubling the already generous farm subsidies to circumvent the AGI limits ($900,000 per producer!).

    Ranking the Big Ten's quarterbacks from worst to first heading into 2025 (18. Drake Lindsey (Minnesota))

    Might want to check the victim card. Dylan Raiola was a lot higher rated and this guy had him 15 last year. Michigan guy this year is 12.

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    Farms have been getting bigger since farming began. The size of farms has never been static. Old McDonald style farming is inefficient and impractical.

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    Farmers who own "thousands of tens of thousands of acres" are just farmers and aren't "conglomerates" or "super farmers" they are farmers. They are just garden variety farmers and sometimes maybe their grandkids in a family farm operation. It's not Unilever, Cargill, Walmart or KraftHeinz...

    Big Ten football officials this season received an increase in pay to $5,500 a game.

    One could argue that with the amount of money FB generates that B1G refs could and should be full time employees. Do they get paid for training?

    Farm Aid Concert at Huntington

    I work with farmers on a daily basis. The idea of the "family farm" is antiquated. Even small farmers are worth several millions of dollars and while commodity prices are currently low, producers can insure revenue. Frankly, I see farmers that fail and it has nothing to do with size and...

    I know Willie is old and baked, but farmers are doing just fine.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    There's a thread on here about how FB is the odd man out in youth sports. Hockey is one of many sports that demand almost year round participation.

    #Gophers football will have a higher payroll than #MNTwins.

    It was being made by coaches and staff of nonrevenue sports.

    How do the Golden Gophers match up with the Hawkeyes?

    I don't recall any. But didn't Brian have a big mouth? Who knows if he was saying what pops was thinking or if he was just spouting off Sonny Corleone style.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I'd like to think it could happen for Minnesota. Again, using SDSU as an example. In its DII days, SDSU was a "basketball school" and football less than an afterthought. The state itself was always something of a basketball state, with less emphasis on HS football and a big emphasis on HS...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    People love a winner. In my part of Minnesota, NDSU was a fairly hot topic during their long run of FCS championships. It definitely raised the school's overall profile - quite a few more kids make the long drive to Fargo for school than two decades ago. SDSU's elevation to FCS football...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    #3 must certainly be the biggest issue. If 2019 is the high water mark post 1967, our best season in 58 years made us at at best a 3rd place finish in the B1G. The new stadium and the modest sustained improvements under PJ have increased interest some, but until the Gophers are actually...

    Ranking the Big Ten's quarterbacks from worst to first heading into 2025 (18. Drake Lindsey (Minnesota))

    And the similarly situated guys (no experience or meaningful experience) who actually garnered 4 stars fare little better in this article. Its hard to argue with the author's ranking based on his stated preferred methodology (experience) and then recruiting ranking. But, looking at the retreads...

    How do the Golden Gophers match up with the Hawkeyes?

    I have no idea what Iowa has for pass catchers. In 2023, Gronowski had 2 skill position players and 2 offensive linemen who were on NFL rosters in 2024, and 2 more WRs on practice squads. Those receivers in particular covered up a few flaws in 2023 and prior. Last year with inexperienced pass...

    CBS is ending ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ next year

    As kid, the bedtime signature was the syndicated reruns of Cheers on Channel 11 after the news.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I don't keep a ledger but mostly it would have been saved. I certainly didn't spend the kind of money I would have spent on the season tickets, fuel to Mpls and game day indulgences. Mostly spend a little more time hunting and watching the games on TV.

    How do the Golden Gophers match up with the Hawkeyes?

    The new QB is also very mobile. He didn't have a ton of designed carries at SDSU, primarily because it wasn't necessary and when it was, the backup QB was an absolute truck. But when designed runs were called for him or if he was flushed out of the pocket, he was a very effective runner.
