    Franklin Fired

    I remember how impressed I was with Franklin when he was at Vanderbilt - I was living in Atlanta for a few years then. What a terrible end to his career - if it is an end - I can see him coaching elsewhere.

    Franklin Fired

    Great point. Firing coaches DURING the season never used to happen - and shouldn't.

    ***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA HOMECOMING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Illinois being jobbed by officials in their game with Ohio State - receivers being mugged, catches being disallowed because the receiver had one foot out of bound at some point in his life, etc., but not when he caught the ball.

    Gopher football

    It's on the idiots who destroyed the NCAA's authority to set rules for amateur athletics - and that includes several federal judges.
  5. Great Plains Gopher

    This Gophers team is worse than last year. Next year's team will be better. Agree or disagree?

    Start building that NIL fund for Drake now - where is Sid when you really need him?

    Gopher football

    No. Not in the age of NIL, not before NIL. Post WWII, I think we won at Columbus once under Mason, once under Bierman. All time it's 7-48 in total games.

    Huntington Bank Field

    It's a shame we couldn't have called our new stadium Bierman Memorial Stadium from the beginning.

    What grade would you give Gophers coaches in loss at OSU?

    That tells the tale. We had no running game and should have pulled a Mike Leach, passing on every down - the old Pirate would have put on a show in Columbus - probably losing, but putting up a fight and doing some scoring. PJ kept trying to play a regular game (run defense not bad, but pass...

    PP: Would Gophers be left out of a college football ‘super league?’

    But they would have to contend with lawsuits by players, even coaches, which is why Congress should pass a bill reinstating NCAA's old rules - it would quickly be taken into the federal courts and this time SCOTUS might take the side of the NCAA, seeing all the disasters that have resulted from...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT #1 OHIO STATE LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    With the ball and 3 minutes left, PJ runs out the clock with running plays, making no serious effort to score?????

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT #1 OHIO STATE LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Going for field goals when you're down 35-3, running when you can't run. Where's the Pirate when you need him? His teams would be throwing on every play because Drake is the only offensive weapon we have. Throw on first down, second down, third down, and forget about field goals.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT #1 OHIO STATE LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Ohio State can buy top teams indefinitely now with NIL, players being paid by schools, and transfer at any time. The rich get richer, the poor will get poorer - and Minnesota will not be among the rich. Coaches also will move to the better teams because that is where the big money will be and...

    Kaliakmanis leads the nation in passing yards (1150).

    Hitting at 69%, 7 TDs and only one interception. Will be interesting to see how he does here next week against Drake in his homecoming.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    After CA and with Darius out for some games, 7-5 or 6-6 for Gophers. The first quarter at CA looked like amateur night, as did the trick play later and punt-fielding throughout.

    Iowa at Rutgers is tonight at 7:00pm

    H's hitting at about 70% for the season so far - his long throws were beauties. Both teams will give MN a lot of trouble.

    NCAA approves single transfer portal window: How the new rule will impact college football

    They should get rid of the portal completely and restore the sitting out a year rule. Anarchy continues...

    The ordeal of no divisions

    If fans remain quiet and subservient, The B10 will go on dangling 18 teams in a meaningless string that offers little to most fans. The West Coast teams should have remained in some kind of B10 West (without that title), so we could have 14 here in two geographic divisions, as before. No matter...

    What grade would you give the coaches in the loss at Cal?

    That seems to be the case - some terrible coaching decisions in this game. Still, PJ is a 60% winner, best since pre-WWII Bierman! Better than 11 previous coaches over 75 years (12 if you include post-war Bierman). The best we can get, apparently.
