I've heard that Nuke Hayes is the most dynamic WR after the catch the Gophers have and it isn't close. The battle this spring/summer will be fascinating between Smith, Tracy, Coleman, Hayes, and the young guys. I think Coleman might come out on top with another offseason in the weight room.

Good for the kid!

Yikes, this thread. It's like two bums yelling at each other over the stall at Applebees in Forest Lake

Well said. They will come to play.

We can just use this headline after every Gopher Football news announcement.

Open this thread, this is the first comment I see. cracks knuckles, stretches neck, sips coffee. I'm going in.

This is it. Notre Dame lost a close game in August to a playoff team. They then looked like one of the best teams in the country the rest of the year. Bama lost to a terrible FSU team, and while they had a good run against good teams, they also had close games against bad teams and then got...

It will be very interesting if the two teams that play in the title game are two who've had first round home games (similar to OSU/ND last year, also Texas had a home game last year too) I know PJ hates momentum but there's a reason other coaches love it. It works. Also, I think everything TAMU...

Agreed 100%. I said it above but the fact that we had an entire CFB season and one of the playoff games is a rematch of Ole Miss vs Tulane (was 45-10 before) at home, is absurd. Complete waste of everyone's time and we might as well just given Ole Miss a bye week.

- Notre Dame should have been in over Bama. ND is one of the best teams in the country right now and they were shafted. - Bama getting in is entirely due to the incestuous ESPN-SEC relationship going back to late 2000's when they signed their TV deal. - Auto qualifiers for JMU and Tulane is a...

The reality is that bowls died the minute the playoff era began. It was playoffs or bust. Also, with the portal now, if you aren't contending for the playoff, a big % of your roster is mentally checked out by December. Bowls are turning into a glorified scrimmage for coaches to play their...

Miss State is unique, they play a very diverse non-conf schedule for an SEC team. They've recently played at BYU, Arizona, and UMass of all places. Would have been fun to play them with Mike Leach. RIP. This might be the most unappealing P5 non-conf destination in years for traveling Gopher...

Illinois State played NDSU in the FCS Natty a decade ago. They aren't always elite but they are one of those FCS teams that will randomly have a bunch of talent on it due to transfers and such

I don't think he was better than those ahead of him.

I've heard various coaches say the parents are just as bad as the agents, and will start off every conversation with NIL numbers before they move forward

What's weird in PJ's case is that he's a former WR, and clearly loves the position, but his good buddy Matt Simon runs that room so PJ isn't really hands on with scheme (maybe he is) I think most HC's are CEO's, though. The issue at Minnesota is that all of our coordinators leave so the young...

Nope, I don't think so, but he is an interesting case nonetheless. He was undersized coming out of Holy Angels with a very slim offer list. I think he's good but I don't think he's better than a healthy (pre-injuries) Darius Taylor or Mo Ibrahim. That being said, he's the type of kid that PJ...

It makes it hard to enjoy the game. Agreed about the hard cap, but there's no way the blue bloods allow that. The reality is we're probably headed towards a "super league" and then everyone else.

Yep. With NIL and portal, coaches at big schools are even admitting that the kids don't care whatsoever about loyalty or thinking past one semester. If anything, having an embedded culture is the least you can ask for these days. I'm just fine with PJ

This is what I'm thinking. Smith could make huge NIL money going to a blue blood for a year.
