D-Line should be pretty good if everyone stays healthy.

I remember the Gophers squeaking out a 19-17 win during the 1981 season. Gophers were stinking up the place and they would have lost if an Ohio U running back hadn't dropped an easy pass in the flat that would have resulted in a first down. It's the same year the Gophers beat Ohio State...

Memorial wasn't a terrible stadium. It was old, but the sight lines were good. I don't know if it could have been updated, but the move to the Metrodome, while not a complete disaster, didn't contribute to the program the way a lot of bigwigs (or maybe I should use Sid's term "brain wizards"...

I think that was up in the Grandstand before they moved down to the main drag. I remember the room and I remember to having a great conversation with baseball coach John Anderson. I don't remember a lot of team gear being available in the 1980s, but the poster above is right. If there was...

Had to get blood test for annual physical and the streets are an absolute mess.

I don't follow the game as much as I used to, but I browsed the box scores for the opening weekend of the NFL pre-season and there a ton of QBs trying to hang on for one more round so there will be a ton of movement at the last cutdown. I don't know if that helps or hurts Brosmer. Given...

I wondered about his arm strength, but he showed as last season went on that he has at least an average arm. He's not going to become Aaron Rodgers, but the raps on Rodgers as he came into the league were his arm strength and Jeff Tedford's tutelage. I think arm strength can increase in the...

Same with Mike Max though not as egregious. They frame their questions with their preferred answer. Too often their opening line to the interview subject is something on the line of "It must have felt great when you did that" which is a statement and not a question. A good interviewer would...

Bottom line for me is I don't think the NCAA cares about this as much as it used to. I agree with many here that academic risk doesn't seem to hit the recruiting news the way it used to. I'm pretty sure recruits haven't gotten smarter, but maybe high schools find ways to help them academically...

I can't take it seriously. No Harold Howell.

I agree with a lot of your reasoning. I wrote above about just having 8 conferences with 12 teams apiece and work a 16-team CFP out of that. That approach would pretty much decimate the conference imperialism that's going on right now and that's not likely to happen But let's say that the B1G...

Just go to 8 regional conferences with 12 teams per conference. Set the CFP at the 8 conference winners (and maybe 8 at-large).

Was he getting NIL money from UTSA? Weird story. I'm very curious as to what is behind Ra-El's motivation. Don't know if it's betting-related, but maybe Ra-El took the over.

I think Walley is a really good player that for some reason flew under the national radar. Best of luck to him.

He was just warming up for the Bulldogs' initiation process.

I remember that as well. I think he was the 2nd-highest rated draft-eligible (my aging brain is foggy, but if it wasn't 2nd, it was Top 5) TE in PFF's rankings going into the college season.

As Gopher fans, we tend to gripe a lot about how the team is treated by the media and sports analysts, but from what I've witnessed on an informal basis, PFF has been pro-Gopher in a lot of its statements. They seem to like what Fleck has been doing and tend to rank Gopher players higher than...

I get Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV on a 3/$15 per month deal with Xfinity. I don't know if that's still available or not, but my rate has yet to increase.

I agree with and like the three posts that precede mine. College football is already a ready-made minor league for the NFL and the NFL owners know that. The situation is almost like minor league baseball in the 1950s when there were over 200 teams and many of them weren't aligned with a major...

Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Norman Borlaug has a great statue on the St. Paul campus.
