    That is a large human being who also probably benchpresses a compact pickup truck for warm ups.

    Everyone involved in this shitshow era of college athletics is going to keep a lid on dollar amounts for as long as they possibly can. Too much unchecked money exchanging hands and an NCAA governing body that is little more than a hood ornament at this point.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NORTHWESTERN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It is infinitely more fun as a player to play in that kind of offense. Because if you put in the work and execute, you'll get touches to score or assist. It keeps everyone engaged at all times and it makes the defense respond to every player on the floor for 25-30 seconds a crack. Backdoor cuts...

    Well thank you! The point isn't that he won't get offers. You are looking at this with emotional binary glasses on. The point is you don't have infinite money to spend. You have to look at performance objectively and make personnel decisions accordingly. His camp is probably asking for money...

    It's almost like moving guys are harder to defend. At least I always liked defending when my guy was more potted plant than squirrel.

    You did. I thought they were just stories. But today, we all just saw an actual unicorn, and it was magical.

    Excellent post. I get the sense the team has moved on from him already. Incredible athlete, but it comes with a high Drama/Savior Tax attached. Based on his sophomore performance, the money can be better spent elsewhere. If I can find 80-90% of the athleticism with 100% attention to detail and...

    Me neither. And his cousin is Javon Bullard.

    I’ll always value that USC pick—it was a legendary moment. But it’s time to snap back to the 2025 reality. The Gophers appear to be finally running like a business, and that means divesting from talented but high-maintenance assets that erode the system. The second the staff told him 'no' on...

    Darius Taylor is coming BACK!!!!

    I must have been watching a different Bryan all season. I feel reasonably confident I could beat the kid on an out route, I'm out of shape and 30+ years removed from playing. He couldn't cover his cough.

    Matt Simon has been let go

    And mediocre players who make mediocre coaches. And some players never coach. And some coaches never play. I have no point.

    Ferentz and Iowa wouldn't tolerate a safety who has a 27% missed tackle rate, either. Their safeties play disciplined ball and are single digits in missed tackles year over year. Yes, his tackling this past season was THAT bad. And it got objectively worse after the Cal game offensive benching...

    2nd team based on writers. 3rd team based on coaches. Guys that actually have played and evaluate talent were a bit more critical than the pen jockies.

    I got the same sense watching his body language. It was off all year, and he had a B- season at best.

    He isn't wrong. Never attach your happiness to a team or individuals who could give two shits less about you. He had a 'meh' season imho. Some highs, some lows. Didn't think his coverage was particularly great. They gave him everything he could have asked for, and it still wasn't enough for...

    Reusse: I’m not a Gophers football hater. I’m an old-timer with standards.

    It's sad, really. I loved listening to games on the radio while driving or working outside. Lots of great Saturday and Sunday afternoon memories. Now I'm not sure I could name 5 players on the team. After finally winning a playoff series and being primed to make a run, Dipshiticus "right sized"...

    And unlike the Gophers, the Twins DO have billionaire owners who  choose to be cheap uninspiring asshats. If the Twins left, I seriously wouldn't care, and I used to follow them religiously.
