I strongly disagree with this. A 12 team playoff waters down the regular season for the top 3-4 teams heading into mid November, but there are 15-20 teams who are playing for their lives and with a win and another team losing may get to that coveted 12th spot. I could even argue that the regular...

These two and Sam Jacobson. I am 42 and in my lifetime they stand out from all other Gophers. People like Pryzbilla and Kris Humphrey were good but didn't have the careers they had. Also, always liked Dusty Rychart. He's not a 'banner quality' player but one of my all-time favorites.

This is 100% the case, would guess the caoching salaries from both schools is within a few $100 of each other. Guessing they are right around the $7500 figure. With that being said, summer camps could be huge... Wayzata alone with their student population I am guessing is a good chunk of money.

Such a great generation of Gopher fans. Lost my grandfather 1.5 years ago. 94 years old. He would often share stories of hitchhiking or catching trains to go to Gopher games in the 40s. Sorry for your loss - can only hope that the memories you have and share with family in the days to come...

Nearly every AD in the country is asking the same question. Schools are going to try their hardest to recreate the Cignetti/Indiana situation. Wish them all good luck. Easier said, than done.

I like Fleck but if we ever move on from him…. I want our next coach to have this mindset. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BBLQFaDyb/?mibextid=wwXIfr This compared to PJ’s approach of “more games are lost than they are won” which I firmly believe costs us 1-2 games per year.

I feel the entire stadium turned a corner in 2019 vs. Penn State. The stadium was electric. The game actually mattered. The home team rose to the challenge and won a game they maybe shouldn't have won (can't remember, but am assuming we were the underdog), and the weather was perfect. Cold...

Any SEC team... mainly Tennessee because they are vastly overrated. LSU is a no win situation. If we win, everyone will have the built in excuse of they don't really have a head coach right now...

I guess it happens more in high school (non-football sports) where a team may not get a specific rival on their schedule and will schedule them as non-conference, or in basketball where maybe a conference will schedule two teams to a conference game and then the schools will schedule a second...

I don't follow NDSU/FCS very closely - I do cheer for them in the playoffs and will usually try to tune in once they are on TV... I was reading somewhere that some think this might be the best NDSU team they've had during their FCS era. I echo your thought... didn't realize FCS teams could...

When I typed my response it was more with frustration with our GM than nitpicking your potential trade. We not only have minimal talent, we don't even have a ton of draft capital to help.

Didn’t we trade our 3rd rounder for Thielen?

You are 100% right if Max didn’t spend a year here Viking fans wouldn’t be calling for him…. But he did spend a year here. Personally, I’m a fan of the Gophers and Vikings and am jacked to see him play for the Vikes. I like Max, I believe in Max, and I hope he does well!

I’m not a NFL scout but I’m guessing it was the perfect storm of coming off a great freshman year, Covid, and striking when the iron was hot.

Off the top of my head, Trey Lance was a top 5 pick in the draft.

I wanted him but I moved on from him when he "remained committed to Penn State but opening up his commitment" Wish him luck, but he's not for me.

Yes… except the head part. Now it’s bite the near shoulder.

It’s more the point of he is using last year like we were in the running for the CFP. We were good, not great. Fleck routinely has multiple games if he were to win we would have a much different view on his entire tenure. Yes, we lost talent…

Why weren’t we better last year if we had all that talent?

I disagree with Ben Johnson... I don't think there are any 50-50 balls in the NFL. With the PI penalties and yardage associated with them... I feel like it is more 80-20 in favor of the offense. Any contact, failure to look back, or in reality offensive PI... usually results in the defense...
