    2024-25 Gophers Football Transfer Portal Thread

    He told the Wisconsin media that he would consider the option of playing baseball in addition to football at a new school (he's apparently a lefty who touches 90 on his fastball) and Minnesota has shown a willingness to allow that. It sounds like Wisconsin saw him more as a safety going forward...

    Should Minnesota vs Wisconsin stay on Black Friday

    I haven't seen any announcement of when it will be released. The 2024 schedule was released in early November 2023, so we are already about 30 days later than last year.

    Should Minnesota vs Wisconsin stay on Black Friday

    I was responding to your comment that "The Gopher student section would have been a ghost-town for that game yesterday. . ." Whether you intended that as hate or not, I think that you are wrong. I base that opinion on the history of there being plenty of students there on Thanksgiving weekend...

    Nice article on Max and Jim Shikenjanski

    Sad news. Rebecca Shikenjanski passed away on Saturday. Best wishes to Jim, Max and the rest of the family.

    Should Minnesota vs Wisconsin stay on Black Friday

    Not sure when you last attended a game at the Bank, but the student section the past few years has been awesome. That absolutely includes the Thanksgiving weekend games. Love up the Badger students all you want, but you are off base on the Gopher students.

    Should Minnesota vs Wisconsin stay on Black Friday

    My perspective is based on attending the home games every year and getting to Madison as often as possible. I initially hated the idea, but it ended up working great for purposes of traveling to the game. Left Thursday night after Thanksgiving dinner and was able to get a nice hotel room for...

    Proud of MN and WI players and fans

    I concur. After chopping the goal post on the Fieldhouse end, the Gopher players ran down to the student section end while the UW band was waiting for their Fifth Quarter performance. I thought that might cause some issues, but there were none that I saw and I was impressed that the band...

    Madison rollcall

    I'll be there. Group of six heading out after Thanksgiving dinner. High temperature forecast keeps going lower and lower. Guessing the Camp will be about 2/3 full.

    UMass decides to not honor individual seniors on senior day

    Strange. I don't know how many people it is, but if they think that it is too many for a pregame ceremony, have it afterwards.

    Badgers fire their OC

    Isn't the speculation that it wasn't his decision? That Bruininks was so appalled by the game and the aftermath that he demanded the firing and that's why Maturi was caught so flatfooted? He was left to start a coaching search in January for a middling Big Ten program with limited resources and...

    Tim Brewster will be the new head coach at Charlotte

    Link to his initial press conference below. I always hoped he would get another opportunity at a spot better suited to his skills and limitations (not intended as a set up for a punchline) where he could use what he learned from his failures here. Never should have been given his first college...

    Gable is back

    He was released from his WWE contract this spring.

    Off Topic. Texas Tech fans

    While it seems like field storming is becoming more common, and maybe it is, remember that students are only in college for a few years and many of them only attend a few games during that time. While we can say "it seems like it happens all the time these days and it isn't special anymore,"...

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    I didn't say they were identical, in fact, I acknowledged that their styles are different. But in terms of substance, they are the same. They say nothing. Any reporter who follows the team has a "pretty good idea" which players have been out, who left the last game with an injury, who's been...

    fake punt call in the illinois game

    I was at the game, so I don't know if this was discussed on the broadcast, but I believe that Illinois only had 10 guys on the field for the punt, with two deep and just eight on the line. Might be wrong, but I think that may have been part of what gave Crawford a favorable look.

    Schiano Gives Injury Update

    Really? Look at the article you cited. What did Schiano say that updates the fans or the press (or the opponent) about any injured player. Schiano said exactly zero about which players are injured, which ones might play and which ones won't. All he says is that the injured players will get...
