The first 4-5 years I was convinced it was the open end, but I think the last few years maybe slightly more closed end (where I sit). It feels like so many big plays and TD's happened in the open end of the stadium those first several years. I don't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th year, I...

Correct. To count the team has to spend 75% of the max scholarship amount. The U will never play them in a game (maybe a scrimmage) unless they start offering scholarships. Being Fleck has seemed to be reluctant to invite non-U of M athletes to pro days (wants U to be focus), I'd be surprised...

I never thought about tailgating, but it's impossible at the lots around the Bank to have social distancing, plus w/ eating and drinking, no masks will be worn (for the most part). I would think they'll have to at minimum do every other spot, push people to further lots, etc. With reduced...

I don't know that it would even have to affect baseball. I doubt many teams share stadiums, very few players play both. I still don't think it's practical, but maybe if it was a shortened B1G only season and some sort of playoff it could happen. But I think it's a long shot. I can't imagine...

I still remember Mason very drunkenly asking Goldy whether (s)he was a boy or a girl at the Insight Bowl pep rally. I remember cringing and looking at my wife who asked me how anyone let him talk when he was that blasted. Oof. It also raises some tough questions - does Goldette (TM 2020) work...

I hate to say it, I don't remember them doing much (anything?) for the 50th. Granted, that was Brew's last year (plus Horton interim) and Brew didn't seem to have much time for past players and Horton was probably oblivious to it being thrust into the interim job partway through the season...

I hope so. Hopefully it's on PJ's radar.

I personally prefer either the "yellow" gold or "chrome" gold we have now to ND's gold helmets. I also feel like changing to theirs is like a little bit cheesy, like holding ND to a standard they haven't deserved in 50 years.

If I remember right Spielman and the team put out a joint statement stating he was leaving "temporarily" to work on mental health issues. But yes, it was publicly announced, not just speculation.

I hate articles like this because it presents the situation as if: 1. It's unusual for B1G schools to be paying NC opponents this kind of money (it isn't). 2. They have better options (they really don't). If you have a problem with how they are doing it, present a better solution. Not having...

I forgot they traded 155. I wouldn't say that means they didn't want Johnson, I'd say that means Trader Rick likes trading his picks more than using them. ;) It would be interesting to see where he had TJ on his board, assuming he did. I didn't think the Vikes would end up with any Gophers...

I have seen the "M" like that on some U of M stuff like programs, etc. I don't know that it was ever official, but back then branding wasn't thought of the way it is today. I can't imagine the U not using the official block "M" for anything now, but back then it wasn't a big deal. I have four...

I'm still struggling to understand this. The kid was from Minnesota so the Vikings should automatically draft him?? They didn't draft Winfield, either. Can you honestly say that they should have? TJ was drafted at 161. The Vikings would have had to either pick him at 132 in the 4th round...

So the Vikings didn't trade up to draft Johnson means Spielman doesn't like Fleck??? I think that is a stretch. Could it be they either thought Johnson would be there and were surprised when he wasn't or that they simply didn't have him rated that high based on speed, number of drops, etc.?

I guess I don't know why he'd do that vs. signing an agent and going supplemental draft. Even if he doesn't get drafted (I think he would), he'd be able to be signed as a free agent after. I don't see the advantage of waiting until next year. If you sit out a year, people forget about you...

From what I recall it just became quickly clear in the coaches' minds that he was the third best QB, but was so athletically talented that they didn't want him just sitting on the bench so changed his position. I'm also not sure he would have started w/o the coaching change. I don't think...

Probably not that long. I think right up until the middle of the 4th quarter on that fateful Friday night in 2003, most Gopher fans were convinced Glenno was our guy. Team had turned around, looked like they had a great chance to win the B1G, and then the 4th quarter happened and the rest is...

I'm not sure how NCAA distributes money based off the FCS tourney, but assuming it's like basketball, it likely would result in more money per school to the Summit teams. Today, if three MVFC teams make it (two Summit and one MVC) that money is divided amongst twelve schools. Going forward, if...

This is one of those where hopefully most people are being rational about it from both sides. I would hope it's pretty obvious nearly nobody knew the handles were designed based off a slave wall, so there was no ill intent when they left them on the new design. On the other hand, I would...

I don't understand this thinking. What makes you think either? I love Seth Green, but he has not demonstrated anything that made me think his position buried on the depth chart at WR was a mistake. When he was in at WR, he tended to run poor patterns and wasn't reliable catching the ball. I...
