It's no Wartburg College!

I know some gnash teeth about the portal, but it’s a chance to continually reset your roster. With a couple exceptions, the guys leaving didn’t appear likely to help the Gophers much going forward. Not that every incoming transfer will set the world on fire. But better to bring in someone who...

Spartan Nation flashes so much dinkage it isn’t allowed inside a Chuck E. Cheese.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

This seems like a different hire than the young guys Fleck recently promoted from within and different than the up-and-comers that Fleck has hired in recent years. This guy is older and doesn't seem to have coordinator or head coach aspirations. There's something to be said for that.

We knew half a year ago that the Gophers needed a bunch of players to transfer if they were going to sign an incoming class of reasonable size. Mission accomplished. I’ll miss Anderson and Thomas, but the rest were probably players we would have picked to be the ones to move on.

Sounds like I’ve played Around the World with you before.

I don't mind this at all. Good coach, good recruiter, but Fleck has always said that he hopes his assistants have high aspirations for themselves. Some head coaches - Jerry Kill, Kirk Ferentz, Scott Frost when he left UCF - like to keep the same gang around for years and years. And you can win...

It's interesting that running backs don't have to be full-time bell cows to be noticed by the NFL. This past year, two North Carolina running backs were drafted. And I remember Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown both getting drafted in the first round a few years back. Sometimes having a lot of...

I’ve got nothing else to do because my beer fridge is way over there.

Your favorite quarterback has no chance of getting a transfer offer from Fleck with an attitude like this.

This absolutely made me laugh out loud.

It is interesting that the "SEC! SEC! SEC!" chanters wring some of their identity from the teams at the top of their top-heavy conference. Kind of lame.

Oliver had himself an absolute GAME last night. He was everywhere, and disrupted plays even when he wasn’t in on the tackle. He’ll be fun to watch at LB next year.

That’s a long hangover.

Let’s row!!!!!!!

And apparently winds up at Duke as the DC. The Peter Principle remains undefeated.

Rossi might not be interested. Phil Parker has been the DC for the Hawkeyes for the better part of a decade, and a position coach in Iowa City before that. He's had amazing defenses with an inordinate number of players drafted into the NFL. He makes a lot of money, and he rarely if ever seems to...

Chad Wilt = most important and effective non-coordinator assistant coach?

My wife's cousin lives in Pasadena. I have a couch whenever I want it.
