    All Things 2025 Playoffs and Bowl Thread

    Man, did Oregon simply outclass Texas Tech today. Texas Tech beat some good teams this year, but they were absolutely terrible today. Quarterback was especially lousy. I can't remember a QB playing worse in a big game.

    Special Teams Coach Bob Ligashesky will not be retained for next season.

    P Punting teams take into a account who is returning the punts and after Perich's success as a freshman, they have likely schemed their punts in ways to limit either his ability to field the punt or in a direction that limits space for a return. Directional kicking is a thing.

    How much is Michigan paying Underwood? Can they get a refund if they kept the receipt?

    He'll get more eligibility and come back. There has to be at least one more loophole he can use.

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I remember former Twins' owner the late Calvin Griffith railing against multi-year contracts for players and wanting every player to be on a one-year contract (of course, with no free agency). It's obviously different in baseball, but Calvin's wish has come true for college football and look...

    2026 Transfer Portal Tidbits

    The big TE (Brahmer) is interesting depending on how good a blocker he is. I'm not a TE fanatic, but it would be nice to work Voss in behind a more experienced TE and also have some interesting two TE sets. Not a ton of experience on the roster as it stands right now.

    Video of Fleck locker room surfing after game

    The way I'm feeling these days, 72 is the new 90! Seriously, I have no problem with the players tossing Fleck around. As Harrymanback77 said, it's about team building and who started or why it started is really immaterial. Fleck doesn't give out 29 game balls, but he is very supportive of his...

    All Things 2025/26 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    Truth. I think with NIL, revenue sharing, and (to some extent) the portal now established, someone is going to sue the NCAA and contend that they have no right to determine eligibility because doing so prevents them from entering a market where they can apply their skills and earn remuneration...

    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

    Saw that. Mafe hasn't put up big numbers this year. but he still looks like he could be a force in the right situation.

    Pinstripe bowl

    Turf is terrible. It almost invites injuries. On the other hand, Dabo is getting it handed to him which always brings a smile to my face.

    He was totally buffaloed on a couple of stunts where the tackle blocked down and Fries couldn't get over to catch the guy going around the outside. I don't know how he would grade for the whole game, but he looked horribly bad on a number of high-profile plays. In fairness to all the...

    When I saw Lawrence at Clemson, I thought for sure he was going to be a Pro Bowler year-after-year but it doesn't always translate to the next level.

    And Will Fries is one of the guards. He looked like a revolving door all game.

    I watched a bit of the Chiefs/Broncos last night and the Chiefs' third-stringer got more time but was having the same issues as Brosmer. I think the big difference I saw was that the Chiefs' offense is a lot more QB-friendly than the Vikings'. Vikings feature a pretty much downfield passing...

    I think Max will get a longer look next pre-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings looked for a veteran to be the primary back-up. Max's arm is stronger than I thought it would be and he's a better runner than I thought he would be (he got to do neither in his time with the...

    He has his issues, but that was a big-time throw by Brosmer to Jefferson to get the first.

    Max

    Starting today. O-line is a sieve so he's having to make quick adjustments. Ran 12 yards for a first down (another thing we didn't see him be able to showcase as a Gopher). Only flaw I am seeing today (and I saw it in the Seahawks game) is that he is sailing some of his throws.

    Oh come, all ye faithful. Watch another oddball bowl game! Cal v. Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl. BTW, I did sing all four verses of "Oh come, all ye faithful" earlier this evening semi-in tune.
