    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    What money goes to the U? They may take a handling fee, but the ticket money goes to UCLA. I have asked people in the athletic department and they have told me straight out that they don't benefit from fans buying road game tickets through the U.

    They could sell more tickets since it's a larger venue, but any campus conflicts on that Friday night or Saturday would be minimal. Finals are over on Thursday.

    CFP teams hosting questions

    The games are December 20 and 21. Could it be below zero? Sure. It could also be 50. The average high those days is 26 and the average low is 13. Cold, but I'd be shocked if the U couldn't sell out a playoff game on those dates and we've played through weather before. Who gives a shit...

    They could, but I can't imagine that they would. PJ embraces the cold and I think he feels that it would be an advantage against almost any potential opponent. Gene Smith won't still be the AD at Ohio State when such a decision could be made, but he's indicated in the past that he leaned...

    Les Miles sues LSU claiming vacated wins have eliminated him from College Football Hall of Fame consideration

    Wait, Les is voluntarily initiating a process that will result in him giving testimony, under oath, and the subject matter will include "his good name and reputation?" That's a bold choice, let's see if it pays off for him.

    Gophers legend Greg Eslinger named to College HOF ballot.

    There is a difference between a retired jersey and a retired number. A retired number means no one will be issued that number (e.g. Paul Giel's number 10). A retired jersey is a recognition of the player without taking the number out of circulation (e.g. Sandy Stephens' number 15). The...

    That's true of some, but lots of UMD fans are also Gopher football fans, Gopher basketball fans, etc.

    Paul Bunyan Axe to be played on Black Friday.

    Keep us posted, but I think that you are barking up the wrong tree. A truthful reply from the conference would be along the lines of "If you want your opinion to matter, you should direct your request to our network partners, they call the shots."

    North Carolina on FOX; Rhode Island 11AM on Peacock

    Not to nitpick, but saying the Maryland game will start at 11:00am, 2:30pm or 3:00pm isn't really "announcing a start time."

    Paul Bunyan Axe to be played on Black Friday.

    Nice exposure, I guess, but I am less likely to attend on Friday than I would have been on Saturday, so I don't like it.

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    Fair enough. By "splashy" I meant an experienced head coach from a lower level program that might excite the baseball people or a recognizable name that might generate some interest among the more general population. Could have used a different adjective.

    My hope is that, after a thorough search, Coyle concluded that promoting McDevitt was the best mix of continuity and new energy to restore the program to the top tier in the conference. My fear is that, after a thorough search, Coyle concluded that his budget doesn't allow for a splashy hire...

    Cam Christie is entering the Transfer Portal

    No idea what he intends to do, but it only makes sense to put his name in to keep his options open. He can still go to the NBA. He can still come back to Minnesota. Now he also has the option to transfer elsewhere if he gets a better opportunity and/or dislikes the changes to the roster at the...
