    Bobby April leaves Gopher staff after being hired few weeks ago

    I was already relegated to the corner, so I couldn't risk both her wrath and that of my parents.

    Bobby April leaves Gopher staff after being hired few weeks ago

    I was actually thinking of my second grade teacher from 1960 who once uttered "Can February March? No, but April May."

    Fleck Announces Changes, Additions to Coaching Staff, Limegrover is Back!

    Was Luke Tressel Dick's son? I seem to remember Luke being on Mason's staff for a bit.

    Bobby April leaves Gopher staff after being hired few weeks ago

    I'm not criticizing April. There's pressure everywhere, but I think for coaches the pros are the place to be. I just think the tweet from the Badgerhead was goofy.

    Bobby April leaves Gopher staff after being hired few weeks ago

    What a stupid tweet by this chucklehead. Leonhard gets passed over for the Badgers' head coaching job, gets passed over for the Packers' defensive coordinator position, and ends up in Buffalo. Yet somehow, the Badger faithful can look at the situation and find a way to dis Fleck. Don't get...

    Bobby April leaves Gopher staff after being hired few weeks ago

    I was hoping April would stick around until May.

    Extreme Variance in Player Ratings

    I figure once a recruit reaches a certain thesthold (probably 4-stars), more effort goes into the analysis. But watching how players' college careers unfold, it seems that 3-star guys are just all over the place in terms of impact. Of course, when you are looking at 17- and 18-year-olds there...

    Any Reviews of Eastern at the Senior Bowl

    I don't devour pre-draft analysis, but I was wondering if anyone has read anything about how Eastern has fared at practices during the lead-up to the Senior Bowl.

    Former Gopher HC Lou Holtz in hospice care

    I don't like seeing anyone suffer as they reach the end of their life and I hope that Lou Holtz is being comforted as he nears his end. I'm old and I've gotten perspective on the things that used to tick me off, especially regarding sports. Holtz could clearly coach, recruit, and motivate (and...

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    I think if an underclassmen is considering declaring for the NFL draft but is projected to be a Day 3 pick, he'll probably make more money sticking around for the extra year in college than going to the pros.

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    For this to work, they have to really be good at the evaluation of high school recruits and then keep the best ones in the system, but that may take a lot of cash to do. It works if you can keep a core of players (especially O- and D-linemen) in the system for continuity and then sprinkle in...

    Extreme Variance in Player Ratings

    I have no idea how they come up with the rankings, but you're right that the variation is pretty dramatic.

    Hey legal guys, please weigh in on Darian Mensah

    Pure mess. Denny Green always strove to take the high road, but that's tough when there is no road.

    Gophers Land Four Rivals Top-300, Including Highest-ranked Gophers Commit *EVER*

    Rivals and Scout used to be the big deals when following recruiting rankings, but 247 has surpassed them. ESPN is also in the game, but their website isn't the easiest place to find pertinent information. I think part of it is the 247 site is easy to find and easy to navigate. It is...

    Three Gophers in the Super Bowl

    Darnold has been really good both last year with the Vikings and this year in Seattle. He has credited sitting behind Purdy in San Francisco for a year really helped him, but his recent resurgance really does put to question the rushing of young QBs into starting roles. It doesn't help that if...

    Dabo details blatant tampering

    Likely the key point in the current college football NIL/Portal/Etc. universe. Right now, there does not seem to be any kind of solid hierarchical structure that can fully address the complications that are arising. It's pretty much a horizontal system with--using economic terms--barriers to...
