    Maryland’s QB Tagovailoa says he was offered $1.5MM to transfer to SEC Team

    Didn't Tennesee lure somebody in with 7 million NIL? 1.5 is chump change for SEC boosters. P5 football with NIL is NFL lite. In the grand scheme of things I believe Athletics should be separate from university operations. The football and basketball money has perverted the integrity of the NCAA...

    Athlon Sports reports Clemson, Florida State, Oregon, and Washington

    I love the people thinking were too good for Cal and Stanford. They are both far superior academically to us and Cal beat us at home in 2009 and 2006 on the road. I'm sure UCLA and USC fans are already groaning about having to play MN, IND, ILL, Purdue, Neb, MD, Rutgers, NW. PLease dont act like...

    Gophers' PJ Fleck explains 'poise' vs. 'poison' at fall camp presser

    They were one of the worst hair "metal" bands. Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart is what they need

    Gophers' PJ Fleck explains 'poise' vs. 'poison' at fall camp presser

    without poise, you get poison. Deep stuff PJ, you're teaching concepts to these kids like how Davinci paints! Reminds me of Zimmer putting a bunch of ripped apart and "bloodied" stuffed cats in the vikes locker room to demonstrate "fat cats get slaughtered!"

    MN not allowing sports gambling maybe temporarily not so bad

    I'm not much of a gambler outside of a $10 bet on a game with a coworker. Not into casinos or pull tabs. A poker game with friends is fun. I just don't get the same thrill others must feel as I am losing money. Even if you win, you're still losing in the long run. Nobody beats the house.

    Gophers voted third in west via preseason B1G poll

    Wisconsin is dismantling their bread and butter offense and going Air Raid with unproven QB's. The golden boy defensive coordinator is gone and nobody seems to be worried. There is a lot of hype for the Badgers but I would not put my money on them winning the west. It all comes down to that Iowa...

    People think Fleck is a shameless self promoter, check out Bielema.

    Bielema is a proven coach and im just glad he left wisconsin when he did. Fickell is in a very similar position to Fleck when he came into the B1G. Great mid major coach, recruits pretty well. Its imperative that we destroy them this year. Would also love to beat Iowa for once and win the B1G west.

    3 Fall Camp Battles to Watch. Are Gophers Fans Overlooking Nebraska?

    Not a Kane Rob pod fan. Seems like a nice guy, just not a smooth talker.

    Steven Ortiz

    eek thats one of if not the worst D1 program this year. Has MN had poor luck with 4 star players? Jeff Jones is the first one that comes to mind.

    St Thomas DI hockey?

    UST football is the only sport of which they are not going all in. Pioneer league is "d1" non scholarship football. Most of the other teams only have football teams because they wanted to compete D1 level for a different sport. Dayton, Davidson, Valpo, etc.. all have notable basketball teams...

    Chet Holmgren says he'll be the best player in the NBA in 2 months

    I think he is trying to portray bravado ahead of the draft. Cant let them get any whiffs of lack of confidence to be drafted #1. Chet could be a great pro if he can put on some weight, I'm not confident he will be able to do that. Dude looks like a stick bug.

    Spartans Wire: Projecting best- and worst-case scenarios for every Big Ten team in 2022

    I definitely see us winning @Neb and 1 of @UW, @PSU, @MSU. Unfortunately Bowling Green is still in my mind so I wont rule out dropping one to a lesser opponent.

    Coach Fleck’s New Look

    I really want to but PJ seems (to me) like the kind of guy who would get elective cosmetic surgery. He's on TV all the time and very image conscious. He seems to be very progressive in his fashion sense and new age motivational management schtick. The medical need for the eyelid tuck seems dubious.

    Future (financially) of MLB?

    I think many people just don't have the attention span for baseball anymore. Going to any pro sports event is becoming increasingly unaffordable for your average family nowadays. MLB certainly is not growing its audience.

    Coach Fleck’s New Look

    Nearly every middle aged man wants to prevent or reverse hair loss, PJ dove in right away to the chrome dome look. He is basically in show business and he must feel that his looks are important for him to row the boat. I don't think I have heard of a football coach getting cosmetic surgery...
