    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    I think there's quite a difference between a student transferring & being allowed to participate in club sports or other activities versus direct competition. In terms of their livelihood, they have options in terms of transferring to a lower level & being able to compete. I agree with your...

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    Just like a regular student, there's no restriction on an athlete that transfers being able to take classes & pursue their degree. Difference of opinion; I just don't understand why someone transferring a 2nd time having to sit out a year before participating in games is that unfair...

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    Maybe the money/NIL there is no solution. However, I do think that the vast majority of fans have less of a with the money compared to the transfer portal & being immediately eligible. If they can reign that in somewhat, I think it is absolute progress. 1 free transfer with immediate...

    Name Change: Cactus Bowl replacing Rate Bowl

    Since being two-time champs, figured this was appropriate. Also venue change; moving to ASU. I don't hate baseball stadium concepts for the bowl season, but the playing surface was definitely an issue when there in 2021, so perhaps a good thing......

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    If I had the answer, I'd give it. Even if there are issues with this, I like that they're trying to figure out a solution. Keep tinkering with it & poke holes and keep building on something..... What I can't stand is the Jay Bilas' & his cronies who instantly say no to everything, but don't...

    Start Times Announced for Five Gophers Games

    I can roll both ways on the quality of opponent for the opener. I like having a game to get some things worked out & see where you're at. As weird as this sounds, if we're going to play a heavyweight, I prefer it be that first game as they're in the same boat. If the Gophers are going to beat...

    Your favorite bits of Gopher lore or obscure details

    In 2000 within a span of 7 days, I personally witnessed the Gophers defeat Ohio State in Columbus (which who knows if it will ever happen again) and Antwaan Randle-El account for 2,365 yards of total offense, give or take 10, in a single game.....

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    Whenever I hear the word "misdemeanor," I think back to the 80s cartoon "C.O.P.S." and one of the lead villains, Miss Demeanor, who worked for the Big Boss.....

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a California drivers license that said I was from LaJolla, CA prior to my 21st..... So what should be the proper punishment? Going easy may set a bad example; going hard may not fit the crime. I'll hang up & listen......

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    Alright, I'll play along. I think it's one thing if a guy like a Chris Weinke comes back after years of playing one professional sport to attempt different one.....but do you really think it wouldn't affect people watching if college sports was suddenly overrun by a bunch of people in their...

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    Fair point. I think TV viewership #'s will always be there. But I think it's going to affect attendance & fan involvment. My opinion is it has gotten worse the past 5 years for fans. Concession prices are going up, other prices are as well, and it's getting more difficult to justify going to...

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    Low level legal mind (have watched a lot of Law & Order), so correct me if opinion is off base & I won't be offended..... My thought: Is this EO by Trump one where he/they know it most likely won't hold up, but more aimed at trying to nudge congress to look at antitrust exemption? I don't even...

    I'll always remember the 2012-2014 Jerry Kill Gophers and how Beth Mowins & Joey Galloway practically called every non BTN game they played. I never thought Mowins was great, but I do think she got a bad rap due to Pam Ward having been before her & being MUCH MUCH worse at the job. Mowins was...

    I laugh when North Dakota loses, but honestly, since the Big 10/WCHA changeover, I really don't think about them that much. Maybe not the first few years, but since about 2018/2019, pretty much an afterthought.
