Dream on - reports out there that Ward has at least 10 seven figure NIL offers.

Would be very hard as a dad to not respond to overwhelming negative sentiments about your son on publicly consumed social media. However, I agree he should let it lie after this. It will not help.

Are there any published data yet on whether the transfer portal has affected graduation rates? And whose APR/GSR they count against if they transfer multiple times? Also wonder how many grad transfers actually end up finishing a grad degree.

Bachmeier in the portal. He was a swing and a miss recruit a few years ago, no? https://x.com/petethamel/status/1729245873077440523?s=46&t=b5VZUyfnm12gkQwNheIEbQ

So, with the 2 viable scholarship QBs entering the portal is this a sign that there is a silent verbal already from a transfer QB? It's a bit scary if there's not. Cole Kramer and walkon Shikenjanski being the only available QBs for a bowl game? May be enough to beat some MAC school anyway. And...

Kramer and Shikenjanski! Reusse will have a senior moment and think that he’s writing about 1980s Minnesota sports.

They still have to be students, in whatever form that takes in this era. So there’s no way they could be considered actively enrolled until at least the winter/spring semester in January.

Hey, so there’s a head coach currently available who beat Iowa 9 times and Wisconsin at least 5 times in the last 17 years, as much as all the Gophers coaches combined in the last 30 years. And did it with lower ranked recruiting classes. Anyone?

So does this offer imply that there is not going to be any OC change since it would be unusual to seek a commitment from a guy and then bait and switching the OC.

“2023: Plays toughest schedule in country, gets beat up pretty bad with a Sophomore QB” I’m confused, from various sites like Sagarin and Massey it appears Gophers SOS is in the 30-40 range. Doesn’t seem like it with having to play OSU and Mich in the same year but the west are all terrible and...

The problem is, all those were conference opponents who are not going away.

Fleck was able to succeed by “selling” kids on staying for 5th, 6th years as well as kids like AWjr who were ready to bolt after the scandal. But this was essentially before NIL. AWjr probably would’ve been gone if NIL was a thing.

I would say the Gophers’ situation was different since they had no stadium on campus, so building the Bank likely had more impact than another school just rebuilding their existing stadium.

The first and second year Wis players haven’t seen a victory. Wisconsin fans have not seen a victory in Camp Randall since, what, 2016 since no fans were there in 2020?

Adjusted for inflation but not adjusted for post COVID construction price increases above and beyond inflation, labor (Chicago unions!) demolition of an entire existing stadium which was not needed for TCF. I think TCF was built largely on the old commuter lots I used to use when I took summer...

Note that part of the campus is “lakefill” expanded a few decades ago. There is not enough room on campus, and filling in more of the lake would probably cause an environmental impact quagmire that makes the neighborhood NIMBY protests pale in comparison.

There is no renovating the hulk that is Ryan Field. Have you seen the concourses? I don’t think there is any way that structure could be modernized in a way that improves accessibility and amenities to today’s standards. I think $800MM is an insane amount of money but you’re taking Chicago and...

Yes, it does look like an epic design but on a small scale. Built to keep outside fan bases from being the majority. May be the smallest P5 stadium when it’s said and done, but similar to Wake, Vandy, Cincy. They may be able to make money from smaller outside sporting events like tournaments...

I think home field wins this one since both teams are struggling so much. Teams that travel also take less players so their extensive injuries leave no margin for more. Did I see the schedule correctly that the game is in Minneapolis for a second straight year next year? What a break.

It’s an amazing concept that coaching can dramatically improve a team’s performance year over year and throughout the course of the season. What would be the outcome if the Gophers played NMSU this week? If the Gophers played at Auburn this week?
