But the thread ran its course 5 months ago.

I'm sure that if it's not happening yet, it will soon.

247 says "insider reports from the Gophers spring campaign noted early enrollee Drew Viotto challenging Knuth and, according to some, having a sharper look in the pocket." https://247sports.com/college/kansas-state/article/kansas-state-football-recruiting-transfer-portal-2023-jacob-knut-210685649/

I don't get bothered by these low projects for the Gophers anymore. We see them every year and we have an opportunity to prove them wrong. I feel like we have proved many of the national media guys wrong over the past few years -- but not by enough for them to notice.

Well, there's Eric Musselman. I've heard some around here wishing we went after him a few years ago. I believe the majority of coaches (football and basketball) are better suited for either the NBA or college, but not both. There are rare exceptions. But a failed NBA coach could be great in...

Here's the average number of viewers per week for the 2021 12-week season for each program. There might be something more recent, but I'm too lazy to look. Minnesota is #24. Washington is #38, which is pretty much equal to or better than other programs being discussed, such as North Carolina...

That's one of my pet peeves: They do use the big black gates at the west end -- sometimes. Not every game, and not for the entire entry period when they do. Why the inconsistency?

Listened to this today. One thing that jumped out at me was Gag's belief that pay-for-play is clearly against the rules, and those who are doing it will eventually be penalized. I doubt they will, but that's obviously one of our collective's guiding principles.

Reusse has written versions of that article a dozen times, this one with Kapp as the hook. My earliest memories as a Viking fan go back to 1971, so I just missed Kapp and am worse for it.

The Hormel Chili Bowl is a great name for a stadium in Minnesota, trailing only the Wheaties Bowl and DQ Blizzard ... something.

Is the backcourt improved? Yes. Is it enough to move the needle next year? Not sure.

I always wonder about that, too, but the fact is the reason hardly matters anymore. I'm not sure many of the transfers even have reasons. And, if they have a reason that may raise eyebrows, I'm sure the coaches will figure it out.

More wins is always better.

I don't disagree, but eventually we're going to have to beat a team like Michigan during a season when it matters, like beating Penn State in 2019. If we're going to progress, we have to get to the point where playing OSU and Michigan doesn't automatically make our ceiling eight wins.

Alabama surely has relatives of Jan Ganglehoff on the payroll, but no enterprising young journalist in Tuscaloosa is willing to crack open the case.

This is from 2020 on the Big Ten website; it's as hard as I'm willing to work. The championship game participant and division champion from each division will be determined by the following: With all conference games completed, the best winning percentage in all conference games. In the event...

You're mistaken. Overall Big Ten record is what matters, and they have Wisconsin 7-2 and Minnesota 6-3. Division record comes into play if there's a tie.

Where are you getting $3-5 million in extra ticket revenue? If you sell 15,000 extra tickets at $100 each, that's $1.5 million. Plus, any food and beverage sales would go to the Vikings, rather than the Gophers. An unanswered (and so far unasked?) question is who gets the ticket revenue -- the...

Going back to 2014: Ohio State – 14 Penn State – 11 Minnesota – 9 Michigan – 9 (4 in 2017) Iowa - 8 Illinois – 6 (3 this year) Michigan State – 6 Maryland – 6 Wisconsin – 5 Purdue – 4 Nebraska – 3 Rutgers – 3 Northwestern – 1 Indiana – 1

I think we deserve a little more credit than that. Nine Gopher DBs drafted in a 10-year span, and next year is likely to make it 10 drafted in 11 years (or maybe 11 drafted if Walley leaves early).
