    Athan's dad comments on Fleck's press conference - by Andy Greder

    My points stand. Who gives a crap about what Mr. Kaliamakis has to say and I hate when parents start spouting off about stuff related to their kid. If it went on Twitter/X, he knew someone was going to pick it up. Free speech and all, but it's effin' annoying.

    Athan's dad comments on Fleck's press conference - by Andy Greder

    I don't care if it's Deion or Mr. Kaliakmanis, I really hate it when parents start yakking to the press. Deion gets somewhat of a pass because he was the head coach coaching his son, but who really cares what Mr. Kaliakmanis has to say?

    So where we all at 3 games in?

    Like last year, it will depend on how we do in the close games. We managed to win a lot of one-score games last year with clutch plays on both offense and defense. Hard to get a read right now.

    It looks like Brosmer is coming in for the Vikings!

    I don't think there should be any concerns about Brosmer's arm strength. The ball Thielen dropped (bad drop) was zipped and the coverage was tight.

    It only figures. I mean, Altmeyer is like 53 years old, isn't he?

    Wisky Fans calling it like they see it.....

    Watched off=and-on for parts of the first half as I was flipping between games. Wisconsin, for lack of a better term, looked terrible. As someone above wrote, they had trouble running the ball and Edwards was supposed to be their savior at QB. Their only hope is that he stays on the field...

    USC probably has the best track team in NCAA football. Problem is, it's football and not track.

    Iowa at Rutgers is tonight at 7:00pm

    I only watched the first half and then caught the final score. It must have been a pretty ugly second half. Kaliakmanis looks much better at Rutgers than he did for us. Coaching or system or what else? Strong is an awesome WR who will be playing on Sundays. Gronowski is a clear upgrade for...

    It was a great tackle, but the receiver fell down and it would have been an easy throw. Still and all, big open field hit.

    I was happy to see Cletus #1 (Dabo) go down. I was hoping Cletus #2 (Kirby) would join him in defeat, but alas, one can't have everything in life.

    Minnesota At Cal 2025 - Media Predictions

    Sports Book Wire is predicting a 23-18 Cal win The Golden Bears are underdogs, but by less than a field goal. Yes, the are underdogs, but they are also home underdogs. I don't know how much home-field factors into spreads anymore (three points used to be the rule of thumb). Giving California...

    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    I did check his posted weight for his junior year at Michigan in 2023 and he was listed at 202. Obviously weight matters to scouts and although he was much bigger than Bryce Young he probably wanted to dispel any doubts. I just remember him as being a bit of a whippet at Michigan although at...

    That's surprising. He looks like he's gotten much bigger.

    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    I stand corrected on the speed. But McCarthy was pretty spindly coming out of college and I did wonder if he could stand up to the beating he was likely to take. He has to have put on 10-15 pounds of muscle since going pro. What truly separates him--at least to me--in that class is his feel...

    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    I was comparing him to someone more physically gifted like Caleb Williams. McCarthy certainly clears the bar of needed athleticism to succeed as a QB at the pro level. He has clearly muscled up some from his time at Michigan, but it hasn't affected his throwing. The bullet to Jefferson was a...

    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    McCarthy looked shaky at the start and the OL wasn't doing him any favors. The pick-6 was on a ball he should have just thrown out of the end zone, I think I recall Joe Mauer doing the same thing in the state championship game when he was QB at CDH (I may be off base on that). You just don't...

    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

    Johnson caught 2 passes for 31 yards and had an illegal motion penalty. Jets elevated him from the practice squad yesterday and signed him to the 53-man roster after the game. Fields did look good yesterday. He seems to have cleaned up some of his throwing mechanics. The guy is talented and...

    GH: Big Ten Power Rankings

    It's always difficult for me to assess USC, but the bits and pieces I saw on Saturday showed them to once again be very athletic and then I have to remember this is football and not a track meet. Gophers shouldn't apologize for scheduling NW Louisiana State because according to Sport Reference...

    Terrible call by the refs, who also, by the way, missed the blatant interference by the CSU DB.
