    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I mean, if you are looking for cheap Gopher tickets, they are everywhere on the second hand market. On any of the cupcake games each year you can score sub $15 tickets with ease. I can't even get $5 for my season tickets for those early games if I try to sell them. I will always say that there...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    This town just needs a few more 2019 seasons. We are starved for winners here. If you win, the fans will come. 8 win seasons are just not enough to win the city over in a meaningful way. The Wolves show that if you contend, you will fill the arena fast, even if you have historically been an...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    It would be incredibly easy for you to head to google to see where Minnesota ranks in quality of life, health outcomes, education, fortune 500, recreation, parks etc. The list goes on and on. Every state has their struggling areas, and we def do, but your initial assessment of Minnesota drips...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Boy, posts like this would have you believe MN isn't one of the best states in the country to live in.... have you been South recently, or the Appalachias?

    Offense 79th, Defense 9th

    Absolutely! If Max was coming back this year I would be expecting a 2019 or more season. Anecdotally, for me the scar tissue is much older. AK Is just another in a long line of middling arms. Drake doesn't really have hype around him, and AK was unique in that sense.

    Offense 79th, Defense 9th

    For sure - and we could have easily one 2 more games and been in CFB playoff bubble talk. Max wasn’t hitting his stride til about mid season.

    Offense 79th, Defense 9th

    I'd say QB play is as big a factor as OC.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    Strange semantics, and by your own logic this is incorrect. The product (a degree), and the service (education) is provided to those who willingly enroll and will pay either via massive loans, subsidies, or straight cold cash. Either way, my core sentiment is that higher ed, much like every...

    President Donald Trump to sign executive order establishing national NIL standards amid evolving legislation

    I can't tell if you're just a shit-poster, or a low-information poster. That's as nice as I can put it, which is more than you deserve.

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    If you ever really want to get pissed, look at the "student services fee." It's like $550+ on top of tuition. When I worked in a role that supported students, I fucking hated talking about that fee and I was always up front in my feelings on it. The core principle of our society is making money...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Correlation doesn't equal causation, for sure. But - I am one of those folks saying they are worried because of AK. This is due to cumulative trauma at the Gopher QB position over the years. AK was supposed to be "the guy," so much so that we hampered our own recruiting to hang on to him. There...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I thought the O line turned over a few starters. I definitely am not extremely roster saavy - I listen to the podcast and follow posts, but I retain very little.

    Phil Steele releases preseason poll, ranking all college football teams, 1 to 136

    I guessed we'd be 44... I can't believe how folks still place Wisconsin ahead of us. Iowa is not significantly better at this point, and I think we are gonna start to be 50/50 against them.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    It really does come down to QB and the O-Line for me. We are so often in this position of "we could be much better than expected, or much worse." I'm not going to lie to you, I think it's more likely that we are worse. I say that because of the AK fiasco and the hype that surrounded him. I...

    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    Man, I'm just trying to get to a spot where we can see a Gopher fail in the NFL at qb :) Brosmer, don't let me down!

    U of M Total Operating Revenue by Sport for 2024 (football is 75%, other 18 sports are 25%)

    Tv Product is def amazing for football. I go for the vibes and atmosphere. I sit in 131 and the view is terrible half of the time, but the energy from the maniac students is so fun. Plus, seeing moms lose their mind to Whitney Houston (I want to dance with somebody) is worth price of admission...

    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    It's a fair critique, but without googling I'm willing to bet OSU has a 4 or 5 star recruit at the position - and a history of producing draft day talent at QB.

    U of M Total Operating Revenue by Sport for 2024 (football is 75%, other 18 sports are 25%)

    Thanks for your thoughtful post and helping me unpack this. I have teetered on getting season tickets for hockey, but to your point - the price is prohibitive and hard to justify after I'm already getting football season tickets. Still, someday I just may do it!
