    Parker Jefferson commits!!!!

    I was a freshman in 1984. I remember walking into Williams arena and sat and watched a couple practices (not sure if I was supposed to be in there). I ended up working in the concession stands for both hockey and basketball games for 5 years. That team could have been really good. Then the...

    Which QB would you rather have starting for the Gophers on Saturday?

    I hope this thread doesn't come back to haunt us! This is bulletin board material for AK if he sees this :cool:.

    P.J. Fleck 'really excited' about where Gophers football stands with NIL

    I fit this. Basketball used to be my second favorite Gopher sport. It no longer is. Here's the ranking I've had for a few years: 1. Football 2. Hockey 3. Volleyball 4. Basketball

    P.J. Fleck 'really excited' about where Gophers football stands with NIL

    Agree. I wouldn't be opposed if the Stadium only sold beer with NIL attachment. If that means the only beer available is Duck Duck, so be it. Yeah, some folks won't be happy, but I'm guessing 90% of beer drinkers at a Gopher sports event will be just fine drinking Duck Duck. This would also help...

    After 25 years… I’m out

    I've resorted to this with Gopher football: I record the game and watch up to the first half. I then stop watching and watch something else or do something else. Once we are about 4.5 hours after kickoff I look up the Big Ten standings. If we see that we lost, I don't bother watching the second...

    Pac 10 expands, adds 4 new schools

    My first thought was why didn’t the Mountain West agree to merge with Washington St and Oregon St. However, rethinking this, those two schools had higher aspirations and only wanted the best schools from that conference and try to pick off a few schools from other conferences. A bit of high risk...

    Stormy Rowing Ahead?

    Yes, I was on my patio watching them as long as I could until the downpour hit.

    Stormy Rowing Ahead?

    I'm just west of Carver and the front is just blowing through right now. Really strong winds and rain. Temps are certainly cooler now.

    Who is your Gophers "Pick to Click" in the game vs North Carolina?

    RB Marcus Major steps in for an injured Taylor and performs better than expected. (FYI, I have no inside information regarding Taylor's injury status).

    Tailgating options - UNC fan here

    I’d do both. I’d have lunch at Malcolm Yard and then hang outside at Surly, walk over to the tailgate lots around 4:00. https://surlybrewing.com/beer-hall/ As someone else mentioned, if you’re in town Wednesday or Friday, the nearby state fair would be quite a thing to visit. It has the largest...

    PJ Fleck enthusiastic about Minnesota’s chances in new Big Ten

    I like to set up a golf outing at Willingers in Northfield, and then drive down to Diamond Jo's while I'm at least down south of the metro.

    PJ Fleck enthusiastic about Minnesota’s chances in new Big Ten

    If the line stays at 4.5-5.5 wins, I’ll be making a trip across the Iowa border to Diamond Jo’s. Last year I thought the line was pretty accurate and didn’t make the trip. This year the line is crazy low in my opinion.

    Gopher Basketball Portal Money - $1 Million

    I was thinking that DTA got a nice fat donation and that person indicated he/she wanted it to all go to the football program.

    All Things 2024 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Well, this would be an interesting trade. What would you think if we traded a 4th or 5th round pick for Zach Wilson? First instinct is I’m against it. But if the coach is convinced he’s worth the gamble, it’s something to ponder...

    All Things 2023-2024 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    On a side note, I heard the leading candidates for two expansion teams are Las Vegas and Seattle. I guess that would probably send us and Memphis into the Eastern conference. I think I’d be okay with it. Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit could develop into better regional rivals. Sorry if this has...

    Coaching Changes says source they trust: Muss already sending 3rd party inquiries to Minnesota and ASU as well as several less realistic spots

    I wish there was a better quality video out there. Gophers take the court a couple minutes in. Listen to the crowd noise, shows how many folks showed up 30 minutes before tip off.

    ESPN: Sources: Jim Harbaugh accepts head coaching job with Chargers

    Yep, I miss the North Stars. I’ve had trouble really embracing the Wild. What would you have thought about naming the team the Minnesota North, having a big N on the jersey and using the old green and gold colors? I could have accepted them immediately.
