    ESPN: Wide Receiver tiers in the draft

    NFL cares about size and speed. TJ isn't 'fast' so it will always be an uphill battle until he proves it on the NFL field.

    Minnesota to hire Paul Haynes as cornerbacks coach

    I think when you see a former D1 HC being hired as CB coach it's a safe assumption that his tenure as an HC didn't go great. But he's way overqualified for this position which is great

    Ryan Burns on Kaden Johnson

    Think this is all a combination of a few things - Kaden being a solid P5 prospect but not quite as good as his initial rankings which changed fan perception of how important he was as a recruit - Him wanting bigger offers - Him not actually knowing where he wanted to go - Teams being willing to...

    The Athletic: How Minnesota’s 2016 class helped turn the program around

    I disagree. Mitch was at best an average Power 5 QB and honestly that was only because of his running ability which was efficient but far from dynamic. It was very reasonable to hope/expect for a QB that could be an average to above average QB. I'd argue that Annexstad in his few games...

    The Athletic: How Minnesota’s 2016 class helped turn the program around

    Mitch was fine but was on a team good enough to make major waves if he was actually good. That said, his WRs weren't the greatest

    "Minny"

    I don't love it. But I have to be honest here... I also don't like the word 'Gophers'. I mean I like Goldy and all but being out of the state it feels corny every time I say it.

    Ciarrocca on PSU: “I really wanted to coach at a school where I felt like we had a legitimate chance to win a national championship"

    Not a big deal. He took another gig, one 99% of people agree is an upgrade from his last one, and speaks highly of the program. He did his job well here and wanted to move on. More power to him.

    Marshall, MN DE commits to Iowa

    If you dont feel like a kid is all that interested then move on. Doesnt sojnd like Black had much real interest in MN and was always an Iowa lean. Cool thing, but the reason hes not at MN has nothing to do with pressure. Job offers often come with time frames. You get a girls information and...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    White people have been entertained by black folks even when they considered them sub human. If you think that's an argument for NOT being racist then whoo boy are you living in a bubble. slave masters listened to black folks play music, watched them dance, listened to them sing, and even had...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    What about when murder was legal yet white communities lynched black people and shared pictures all over town? How about when black people's civil liberties were trampled over for an entire century until more laws had to be passed to force people to 'stop'. How about when the government...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Actually I answered your question in the first sentence. Do better. Also read. Slavery has been going on for thousands of years in Africa as well as many other parts of the world. The TransAtlantic slave trade was not the norm. Either enlighten yourself and learn, or admit you don't care to...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Not at all. Because Im not. So anyone labeling me as such is either lying or misinformed. Im also a black man that doesnt go out of my way to make white people comfortable when discussing race so Ive had many white people call me racist on the internets. Usually when they cant refute a point I...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Because they werents enslaved by Europeans due to their race with their ancestors ancestors paying the price. If you dont know the reaon why the trans atlantic slave trade was far different youre either ignorant of the facts or purposefully obtuse. Either way your question is disingenuous which...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    So you believe that slavery was the only thing that needed rectifying. Not Jim Crow, Reconstruction, redlining, mass incarceration, etc. Also if the argument is that reparations would strictly be due to enslavement, your point is silly. You are claiming that what was owed to black Americans...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Always curious as to why white taxpayers are so firmly against reparations to black folks but Ive never heard anyone complain about the billions of dollars paid to Japanese Americans for internment even though that was far less murderous, devastating or long lasting than slavery

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Why do I have to know someone to know if a view they express is racist? Im only as quick to call someone racist as they are to express a racist belief. The sad thing is that many people are more offended at being called racist than they are concerned about actually having racist views. They...

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Naw. Racism is. I read what he quoted me on, and called it for what it is. I dont engage with racists, whether they acknowledge their racism or not. Its not my responsibility to educate white people on their own racism while subjecting myself to it. But feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

    Jackson: Big-time colleges care more about money and winning than black athletes getting degrees

    Funny how some white folks (not most of yall, just a few) get all in their feelings when talking to an actual informed and educated black person about race, lol.
