Beat the stinking badger and the stinking hawkeye, Gopher!

Non-athletes in college often times get a great deal of experience developing communications skills, service abilities and make connections with others by working part-time jobs. College athletes really have no ability to enter part-time job markets because of the demands put on them and their...

I don’t think that there will be any nil agreements with players to coach or run press conferences. However, many coaches may rise or fall depending on how much nil activity is made available to key players in the major revenue sports to keep key players at the U of M, or if that is not...

With the college players gaining more local public exposure through nil events, the college players will be more readily recognizable around the university campus, the city is located in, and will allow the recruits, quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, star defenders, linemen, hoops...

Collegebfootball always has been the farm team system that provides the nfl billionaire owners the fact, arms and legs of pro football ever since the nfl was born, sold and won the lottery.

Remember: an undergraduate player is only allowed one transfer prior to having earned a college degree. Once the special “covid” free extra year has disappeared, there will be very few 6 or potentially even seven year college players. Welcome to the era where college athletes are placed on a...

Note of interest: the Vikings franchise was awarded at a nfl owners meeting held in Miami in January of 1960. The Vikings first season was in 1961. The rest is pretty much history… I have agreat barometer of how to rate and rank a Big Ten Football coach at Minnesota. If a coach has at least...

Last night I decided to just go ahead and make a one time contribution to this collective. I didn’t sign up for a membership at this time. I just made a $100.00 donation to help Gopher Student Athletes. I didn’t designate a specific sport as all Gopher Student Athletes are deserving to be...

Very well-stated!

l I just found out the game is an evening game, not starting until 6:30 pm. so make that a 01:30 kick off…

I’m in Amsterdam ready for the Gopher to beat the stinking Nittany Lion. Just do it Gopher! I’ll be trying to keep track of the score. The game will start at about 9:30 (21:30) Amsterdam time. Beat ‘em Gopher!

Your last paragraph is the story of Gopher football ever since about 1968! At least now, the Gopher program has a great on campus stadium, continues to be a member of the Big Ten Conference that is working hard to continue to provide revenue streams for the conference members and will have a...

Many good, thought provoking points on both sides of this issue. Good discussion this morning Gopher Hole!

Good luck to all, may there be no injuries and may the better team win. This is only a college football game. The sun would shine again. I would still bleed Maroon & Gold. I am really quite sure that the coaches and players are ready, willing and able to go play their best on Saturday. They...

I love Big Ten games! Ten BT games would be amazing! College football is going to need to be the cash cow that does more to support all the other sports sponsored by the NCAA… mens’ and womens’ sports programs that big time conferences crave. Look at the super conferences being created for...

Coaches are sometimes rather strangely closed mouthed, sometimes superstitious, possibly a bit paranoid creatures of habit. Yet, we seem to love ‘em, forgive ‘em and once they are gone forget ‘em. In the end the team has to just line up and play the damn game. Beat the stinking Illini, Gopher!

The conference makes it’s money by selling TV rights any way. Perhaps sales of tickets, concessions and parking revenue aren’t measuring up to profits and revenue sharing from selling tv rights…I think we all know that. Beautiful and comfortable 50,000 or even 35,000 seat television production...

Always have loved the road trip to Evanston as well. They are very wise to bring a revenue producing stadium to their campus. It will be a jewel and the newest monument to the geographical center of the Big Ten Conference: Chicago. With the California additions to the conference, this will...
