I was 100% agree with all that. I was cheering for RF... I also cheer for NDSU, Mankato, Duluth etc when they are competing in their playoffs. Minnesota kids having success is only a good thing for Minnesota High School Football and way down the road would ultimately benefit the Gophers. Agree...

River Falls really had a nice team this year. Don't exactly see the comparison to Indiana. Indiana has always been bad, new coach, and immediate success. River Falls has an up-and-down background, never the highs they have right now, but has had some success. Their new coach changed the...

To be honest, I don't know if has done anything for them. I think being competitors they are/were going down as one of the best in school history fits well for them. I don't know what life is like for Laurence Maroney when he comes back to campus but I would imagine it is pretty nice.

I honestly don’t know anyone that hasn’t talked about one without talking about the other. They were like Peanut Butter and Jelly…. I feel like Maroney and Barber defined my generation of Gopher Fans, much like Darrell Thompson defined a generation of Gopher Fans. I can ask my son and all his...

I’m not sure what his best hand is and it is different for everyone. I’m not sure what his official NIL is, but I don’t think he is struggling to get by at the U. With that being said, there is always somewhere that will pay you more. There are priceless things that can occur at the U or...

Guarentee he has been presented options and has chosen to stay here and to that I respect him!

I am shocked Simon was let go. Fleck and Simon have been together for almost 2 decades dating back to Northern Illinois. Clearly he never saw him as the OC, but I am shocked he was the one Fleck decided to part with.

You are right if Mo Irbahim's name was John Doe and was a running back at Coastal Carolina and spent one year coaching running backs no one would be that excited, but his name is Mo Irbahim. He knows the program, he knows Fleck, and it is safe to assume he knows the expectations, vision, and...

I have actually thought of this a few times. It is important to note, he isn't playing for free at the U. What is the difference between $500k and $1 million... $500k and that is a lot of money! With that being said, what can only the U give him that no other school can? It has been well known...

Lots of truth in this. What hurts the most is that he is the face of our program. We will be fine on the field simply because there isn’t one player on any team that is bigger than the program. Assuming Koi leaves for the NFL after next year. Who would you rather have for one more season...

I doubt it unless he had money tied directly into playing in our bowl game because I’d be nearly positive the big time suitors didn’t wait until the Rate Bowl was done to approach him. I also doubt his deal included any potential bowl games as most big time players leave before the bowl game to...

Why would he have played in the bowl game? Makes zero sense to play in the prestigious Rate Bow if you’re planning on transferring…

The tweet makes it seem like he is looking for money. I find it odd he would play in the bowl game if he was going to transfer.

You are what you put on the field. Minnesota does the same with less than what LSU does with more. LSU gets credit for beating two top 7 teams during that stretch: Ole Miss #7 who finished 8-5 and Clemson #4 who finished 7-6. Easy to move up the rankings when you beat Ole Miss, get credit for...

The whole point of the SEC being overrated is the rankings. Mississippi State beat Illinois 19-10 in 2022. - Illinois finished the Big Ten 5-4 Texas A&M didn't play a Big Ten Team in 2021. - Without doing a deep dive, they beat Colorado 10-7. Colorado finished 4-8 and lost to Minnesota 30-0...

In all honesty, how so? Just because ESPN says so. Other than Alabama, who?

I literally laughed outloud at this... I agree... there is no right or wrong in this debate. I love the idea of a 12 team playoff. I am not crazy about it getting bigger. I think where the issue is with the current playoffs is the committee. I wish they would just say SEC gets 3 teams, Big Ten...

I don't know if it will be ignored. I will agree that it won't have more stand alone viewers, but I would assume majority of America will be like me and flip back between channels depending on what game is better. My main viewing will be the college playoffs because there is more at stake.

You can disagree, but the fact is if there is a benefit or a consequence (bye or home field) there is actually more to playoff than the old model of bowl games only.

For those of you think the playoffs are too big... it is December 19 and tonight we can watch Oklahoma vs. Alabama. That is a heck of a lot more fun than watching two random schools playing in the whatevercompany.com Birmingham Bowl, etc.
