Potential big bummer alert. https://www.startribune.com/farm-aid-40-concert-show-move-cancel-minneapolis-university-minnesota-teamsters-strike/601472205

I don't think that the Gophers handle it any differently than any NCAA program or Pro Sports franchise.

I don't know that it's a bad thing, still. What's at least given me pause the past 2 seasons has nothing to do with the cost. It's how College sports in general have changed as well as the transformation of the Big 10 into a coast-to-coast 18 team division-less Goliath. NIL & Portal means the...

It's not the Gophers making bank either. That $13 gets split up by the vendor (contracted), distributor, labor, taxes etc. A relative small percentage goes into the Gophers coffers when all is said and done. $2 each might be pushing it.

The Gophers cut on concessions & merch revenue barley moves the needle. Peanuts.

In the overall budget picture, I have to think the Fees have increased revenue beyond the just the price of tickets to make it worth it. Substantially so. Otherwise, it would of have been ditched completely instead of frozen. Plus they can sell the extra inventory on a per game basis.

The Strange Story of Johnny Frederick Through Baseball Grid review I came across Johnny Frederick. Making his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers at 27 in 1929, the guy raked. 52 doubles a Dodger record that stood until 2023 when passed by Freddie Freeman. Also 206 hits his first 2 seasons and...

It's a pretty short list for many.

Good thing the Gophers got out of the same Division as the llini.

With all the teams leaving the MWC to the Pac 12 (version 2.0) don't they need schools to meet the minimum NCAA quotas for some aspects and/or give them a cushion when others bail?

Something I noticed while playing the Baseball Grid and going down rabbit holes: 2025 has not had a No Hitter, yet. According to the Google, a season without such an achievement has not happened since 2005. It's only happened in 3 seasons of modern baseball (1901)...

I've heard the upcoming Twins Marketing Campaign is: "Hey, get off our back! We have Buxton & Keaschall."

Righteous bucks.

Aren't both the St Thomas & Minnesota Stadiums on the East side of the Mississippi?

I guess a half can't end on an accepted penalty (untimed down). However, any team that is trailing would want the 10 seconds to remain at the end of the game, or either team at the end of the half.

Could the receiving team decline the 10 second run off? Otherwise, it would make sense to kick it OB every time with less than 10 seconds.

You are misreading it as an "obsession" as opposed me just replying to posts as asked & answered. That's how it works here. As for a bet, I have never said it was likely, just that it should happen every once in a while. Additionally, there are several other possibilities besides Iowa St...

Looking at the Google, it was scheduled for 2019 & 2020 but nixed way back in 2012 as Navy needed to make room for entering the Big East (now the AAC). https://fbschedules.com/navy-pushes-back-series-marshall-cancels-minnesota/

Moving on from the Cyclones...I'd like to see a Home and Home against Navy and/or Army. I think the Gophers were locked in against Navy but it was sunk somehow due to the Middies joining a conference.
