Ah the tobacco use in the older days. I grew up in Lincoln (different Memorial Stadium) and one of my earliest football memories was in the mid/late 80s and somebody spat out their chewing tobacco from the top row as we were entering the stadium and it landed on my dad's hat lol.

Look to Ross Ade at Purdue if you want to see how Memorial Stadium would look in the big-money era. It's a very similar design and age.

The key marketing terms in the post-Covid world are "authenticity" and "imperfection." All this shit is designed for you in board rooms. The production "errors," the sticky fingers from bbq sauce, the gagging on live air.

I know you can't MAKE them. But a good AD can get these things going...but that would require a commitment to both their job and to Gopher Basketball.

If we're worried about losing a bunch of recruits to Marquette and Iowa State because they get one home game every two years in Minneapolis we should just drop down to D3 or the Summit League. I don't think the random Howard and Canisius transfers that we're getting these days really give a shit.

Gophers should be playing Iowa State, Marquette and St Thomas every year. Home and homes with the first two. One game at Williams and one at Xcel or something with St Thomas. None of this is very difficult. Give fans something to watch. If you're losing all these games, get better.

Not legal. But also, I'm sure it's something stupid like Margie in Compliance who is tasked with entering players into the portal has been enjoying too many brandys on an extended Christmas break.

You mean Koi Perich doesn't call up a 40 year old podcaster who went to Kansas to spill the beans?

If Ohio State remembers that, no, you don't need to run the ball to set up the pass, then they're the best team.

Why do 75% sports podcasters look like the guys at the bar on 25 cent wing night.

Sometimes you can find deals from past seasons on the clearance rack, but there's also a good chance you end up looking foolish.

ESPN is employing the 24 hour news strategy to keep fans engaged. Come up with a single issue "SEC is best!" where about half the fans fall on one side and half the fans fall on the other. Defend it tirelessly and use irrelevant data points and cherry picked outcomes (outrage drives...

I probably wouldn't go if I lived in Minneapolis and somebody paid me $19.

Breaking news: Media is biased.

I get the feeling that you really don't like Gopher Volleyball...well, anymore, I know your history. ;)

Massive boost in recruiting for being known as a team that puts players in the league.

Her name was Stephanie Samedy. She graduated a few years ago. Special players like her aren't growing on trees. Pitt has a very good coach who recruits well, there are rumors he will be the next coach fo the women's national team, I don't think Pitt can recover if he leaves.

Egan ended up at Wisconsin and Sellman ended up at Penn State from the Ohio State pillaging.

With Eva Hudson and Chloe Chicoine in the portal for Purdue, you have to assume one ends up at Wisconsin and one ends up at Penn State.

Kelly Sheffield is pretty well known, in the rumor mill at least, for viewing the rule book as a collection of "suggestions"
