    I don't live in the US so I don't get to watch many US commercials....but, did that Hilton commercial just feature 2 gay guys with a kid?

    Kozlo: Michigan State football should be realigned to Big Ten West

    I want to partner the B1G and the MAC to form a 'Premier' league structure. Relegate the bottom 2 schools to the MAC and promote the top 2 MAC schools to the B1G for football only. I think it would make everything way more meaningful. I know - TV contracts, facilities, other associations...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    I don't actually blame Brewster - over-estimating your abilities is required to make it in this world. The fault for Brewster is in the AD for falling for the song and dance. I still remember the reaction on here when he was hired - it was a 'who?' reaction but then hoping for the best...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    100% this. It would be interesting to map out how this would play out today with the contrast of 'me too' offset by the new Title IX guidance where innocence and a sense of fairness is somewhat restored. Take TC's comments now in today's framework and it would be really hard to lay any dirt on...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    I don't disagree with you - but the off the field stuff made it possible as the only excuse that he could feed the press given the on field performance. If you go back and look at that season: 9-4 overall which included an OT loss to #7PSU, lost by 7 to Iowa due to giving up 8pts in the 4th Q...

    Have we officially caught up to Wisconsin?

    I think it is more a factor of the UW falling off rather than us making huge strides. The West is definitely poised to become more interesting. I think Nebraska will eventually get it figured out and get competitive again. Additionally, I think Illinois might actually have some life in them...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    In the case of TC - I think it is very clear he was fired over character issues for the team and the publicity it brought. So, I can see where Kill would be angry that PJ is highlighting the fact that the culture needed to change - whether it needed to change or not - they needed to state this...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    For me, the difference is between a perennial bottom feeder and team with some recent success. In the case of a perennial bottom feeder, it is a near impossible task. I terms of a team with at least some recent success, I don't think it is such a monumental task. Then again, I tend to look at...

    Portal - Potential Incoming players?

    They made Morgan look like an NFL caliber player 2 years ago. If PJ has the skillsets, I think he is more than willing to change up the style of play to put them in the best position to win.

    Portal - Potential Incoming players?

    The Gophers should hope that some of the OSU QB talent does the math and decides to leave and try on the Gophers. Not all of those guys are going to be able to start at OSU and CJ seems like the team is his for the next few years. 2 or the 4 should consider transferring. That would be good...

    Jerry Kill - New Mexico State

    I think I am one of the few here that never really liked Kill. I always thought his only goal was to build a middle of the pack team, not an actual contender. I realize that since he has left, a lot of fans have now turned on him, but he had strong, strong support at the U and on this board...

    Gophers BEAT wisconsin Post Game Thread

    Great, great win. Builds credibility for the program and PJ. The 4th Q punt call with under 5 minutes left by UW reminds me of something we usually do. So, maybe this is the long term turning point where we can consistently beat the Badgers. Also, finally a win vs. our rivals - that is big...

    This almost feels unreal. No way Minnesota can blow this somehow now, right? Great, great game.

    Poll: Is the 2021 Season a Peak, Baseline, or Below Average PJ Fleck season?

    I would have to say near term peak. I think we take a step back next year due to OLine turnover. The question is if we can still maintain a consistent running attack (Mo is back) and then start to groom a QB that put us into the top 10 in 2-3 years time.

    Split national title

    I know we are all just supposed to bow down the mighty SEC when it comes to strength of schedule, but if you honestly look at GA - their sole win vs. a currently ranked team is Arkansas (#25). Of course, when they beat Clemson, everyone assumed Clemson would be good - same with Florida, etc...

    CFP

    If UC wins out, they deserve a spot. The thing that throws a wrench into the works is if Bama beats Georgia but the score is close or controversial. In that case, there will be a big push to keep Georgia in the Top 4. The other big issue would be if OSU loses vs. Michigan or in the B1G title...

    Most disappointing season in my time being a fan

    Do you remember the Michigan comeback win in 2003? We were up 28-7 in the 4th Q. Nothing will ever top for me the level of disappointment I felt after that game. I think things would have been vastly different for us if we held on to win - but we are Minnesota. So, when the Texas Tech bowl...

    Most disappointing season in my time being a fan

    I have been a Gopher fan since 1991, as you can probably guess. I have seen a lot of horrible teams, heartbreaking comebacks by our opponents, and roadblocks every time we seem to take a step forward. When I became a Gopher fan, I never dreamed we would have the facilities we have now -...

    Fleck: NIL Can Be Game-Changer for U

    I don't see how this will be good for us recruiting the top players. The reason being is that if you are a top talent 5 star type kid, you believe in yourself and never envision being 4th on the depth chart. That is why schools like OSU can get two 5 star QBs in a class - both believe that...
