Ban all basebowls, please

Yet Minnesota could beat Va Tech 69-0 while sitting on a positive transfer balance for next season and we won't get the same quote.

If you wait long enough, Amazon and Apple will own all the bowls

There's a significant nightlife, which is important to people in the college age bracket. There's also pro sports, a lot of jobs, theatre, national touring acts, shopping, dozens of quality restaurants, and other things that many college towns don't have or have less of. I know lots of people...

To some extent, this could describe Minnesota. Some of it is the trade-off of an urban campus. More to do off campus, but a space-constrained and more crowded campus. There's a few nice green spaces and the river on the Minneapolis campus but more of the appeal comes from being next to...

26 transfers out (and counting) including the entire QB room and a 4* freshman who got significant reps this season (Lucas). They can play pretend that they are "upgrading", but none of it is a good look. Minnesota and Iowa are not losing guys on this scale, and never have.

Don't they typically call this EDGE today?

I appreciate him wearing the Goldy Gopher helmet and then doing his best to mimic the pose in the card.

I remember when people here were wondering if he could even get a FCS offer, let alone end up as the starting QB at Rutgers. Rutgers was probably his only major conference opportunity given how he sat out there for over a month and finally ended up at Minnesota East with Ciarocca Nothing about...

I was counting Hayo Carpenter, Cristian Driver, Tyler Williams in addition to Wright. There is still time for Driver and Williams to make a larger impact.

I hope so. There’s a history of mostly failed 4* WR transfers at Minnesota. Toolsy guys from big name programs who didn’t produce like the 2 and 3 star guys who were HS recruits. I hope this isn’t a case of buying the product they just returned. Either way, it’s still an impressive get for...

Are you as hyped about this year's Cowboys - Patriots Super Bowl as I am?

As the playoff goes on for a few years I think people will start to forget that the 2nd round is “the bowls” and it will be easier to sever that tradition in favor of campus sites for these games. They don’t want the blood of the Rose Bowl on their hands right now but it will be easier to take...

I would go the other way and not have neutral site games until the final four. So the first round bye teams get to host a game, too. Neutral site atmospheres are lousy, especially with 4 rounds to expect people to travel to.

Good point. You reap what you sow. There's a certain group of dudes who still want to pick a school, go there for 4 years, and matriculate to the NFL. A simpler and proven path and doesn't mean they won't get paid while in college. These likely tend to be more serious students. Another...

I think there's a good chance Daniels was willing to transfer to Ohio State and only Ohio State. For him it's a homecoming, and he probably dreamed of playing for OSU as a kid but fell a little short of an offer out of high school. He probably was on their radar, at their camps, and built...

The entire QB room leaving is either a sign of a major change in offensive philosophy (strongly back to the run) or a sign of an internal cultural disaster. Maybe both! Their new OC is Jeff Grimes, who spent 2024 in his first year at Kansas. Sounds like Kansas fans were ready to help him pack...

Over 1000 SEC snaps and they used a practice photo wearing the guardian cap to announce his transfer?

Emptying the entire QB room is not a sign of a healthy program

Minnesota now has 7 P4 transfers incoming and only one P4 transfer exiting
