I don't know enough about this sort of thing to know where they might stand, but considering two years ago Schleuter was considered a liability on the line but now is one of the stronger players is a pretty big testament to his development. If that type of improvement continues I'd certainly...

If there aren't seasons, there won't be travel costs, a lot of other expenses (jerseys, laundry, food, etc.) won't exist. I would like to see the University just cover the expense of scholarships (as I've argued elsewhere, that is funny money since most costs are fixed). If that happens the...

True on the salary, but the key is the average player only plays 2-3 years or something like that. Plus you lose about 60% of your paycheck between taxes and your agent. And, if you aren't one of the top players, your second contract is usually a certain percentage above your first. In other...

Agreed. I can't put Dungy in a list of DB Mount Rushmore at the U when he didn't play DB at the U. I get he did at the next level, but IMHO that really isn't relevant to this list.

I do think it will be a competition, but it'll be a competition like a poker game where Morgan gets two extra cards that happen to be the only wild cards in the deck. He could get beat, but someone would have to have the preseason to end all preseasons or Morgan would have to just be awful in...

Yeah, there's a big difference between athletes who are paid to play being asked to go out there and athletes that are amateur. I think they are going to err on the side of caution. Can you imagine if one athlete who "felt compelled to play" ended up dying? It's a liability nightmare, not to...

The sad part is I can't imagine a governor of either Michigan or Ohio doing anything to jeopardize football. Even if it is really needed based on what was happening in the state. It'd be career suicide. Whereas if the U had a wide open path to the B1G Championship and there wasn't a case in...

That statement got me thinking. I wonder if any casinos will come up with bets on leagues? You could have: Will remaining NHL/NBA games be played before a playoff/at all? Or how many? How many MLB games will each team play? What week will the first regular season NFL game be played? How many...

I guess I'd look at it a little differently myself. If he really wanted to play at MN, other than his dad having played here, what else would have attracted him? Midwestern, B1G school, good academically, etc. As much as I hate Iowa, being honest about it, they check a lot of the same boxes...

That works fine for the B1G, but what about the northern schools in the MAC, Conf USA, and AAC? Not to mention FCS, D2 and D3. I don't see the NCAA getting on board with a plan that only lets the big boys play. And there just aren't enough indoor stadiums to go around. The thing is, if you...

Well, after they back a dump truck full of cash up in front of Urban Meyer's house and say "where do you want it?". I'm sure there's a handful of other coaches that would be in the mix as well. I still doubt that it is a good fit for either side, but I could at least see it happening more than...

Or the 3rd, or the 4th, or the 5th, or the 6th, or the 7th.... For those that don't know, former Gopher head coach John Gutekunst's son Brian is the GM there.

Ended up getting drafted in the fourth round. Good for him. I'm not going to disparage JK for not getting him here. Not only were there not a bunch of schools clamoring for him, he was pretty marginal at BGSU. Only when he transferred to FL Intl. did he play well. His improvement from his...

It seemed like sometimes they were letting him break through the line and either ran behind him to the void he just created or moved the line his direction and created gaping holes the other side. Basically let him use his speed to take himself out of the play. Kudos to the offensive coaches...

I hate to admit this, but I have no clue who the Gophers played my first game. My parents never brought me to Gopher games and I lived off campus during school, so my first game was after I graduated. Saw some random throw away game in the Metrodome in Mason's first season. I think it was a...

I get this is a "Mailbag" quick hit thing, but the response was a little pointless. Something like "people I talk to say he truly likes it here" or "a few people have said he would leave for a couple jobs, but isn't looking" or whatever would have added substance. Just saying you don't know is...

Three from 2003 alone. Being at PSU for the victory, the Michigan debacle, but the big one was delaying my buddy's wedding by refusing to leave the back room during the Wisconsin game. It was late in the 4th quarter, the groomsmen/bridesmaids were asked to get into the church and I flat out...

It's not that you can't wash some N95 masks/filters, it's that they are no longer N95 after you wash them. So no, there really aren't washable N95 masks. As others have mentioned, if players have to wear masks someone should be questioning whether they should even be there.

Depends how fast the EMT's carrying the stretcher are...

Agree with pretty much all of what folks are saying here. The Gophers again have a pretty favorable schedule this year. Even if you don't believe they will be as good as last year, they still could get as many wins. A coach I think it could benefit is Scott Frost. I really am not expecting...
