    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    There was a time when more Gophers had won the WWE championship than the Super Bowl as a player (seriously) but that's improved with more Gophers in the league and on good teams.

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    Thanks Rashod for cashing my prop bet early! I had him to score a TD tonight at +180 Should have bet on him to score the first one.

    Ersery to choose brownies with #2 overall pick?

    This is what ChatGPT gave me. Surprisingly funny in spite of some typical factual errors. Breaking News: Gopher Lineman Aireontae Ersery Shocks the World by Drafting Brownies with the 2nd Overall Pick in 2025 NFL Draft April 27, 2025 — Kansas City, MO In a move that left analysts, fans, and...

    Dep't of Education says Revenue-sharing should be subject to Title IX

    Whether you agree or disagree with this, it's great news for the Gophers There's billionaires out there who made more money in the time I'm typing this than the entire Gopher NIL budget for 2024. The college football future belongs to the programs who have the hearts and wallets of these...

    Thanks for putting this together. Former Gopher QB and Bears head coach Marc Trestman is still kicking around as an offensive assistant with the Chargers

    David Cobb promoted to assistant head coach and GM at New Mexico State.

    He's going to be a busy guy doing all 3 of those jobs at a low-resource FBS program, but it's fantastic experience that puts him on the head coaching (or GM) track at a relatively young age. Go David!

    By collegiate accomplishments he's the greatest Gopher player of the modern era. Congrats Greg!

    Drake Lindsey: Can’t wait for this 2025 season with This team and all our coaches! Let’s rock!!

    ESPN predicts Drake Lindsey as the starter this fall, in a series about all P4 schools. In a set of coincidences, two paragraphs about the Gopher QB room refer to Virginia Tech in three separate contexts. -- 2025 starter: Drake Lindsey, redshirt freshman Why he'll start: Minnesota went to...

    Buffs - Coach Prime

    If I'm the Titans I'm begging the Cowboys to do this. They get to pick up Dak Prescott and probably some additional assets in a Herschel Walker-type deal to make the Sanders family happy. Or the darker path ensues where Shedeur refuses to play for any team except the Cowboys, forcing 11...

    Dragan Kesich declares for the NFL Draft!

    The 49ers kicker was missing almost everything the last couple games. Could be a match.

    Dragan Kesich declares for the NFL Draft!

    I think it's becoming a thing to publicly declare for the draft even if you are out of eligibility. Technically speaking, all players who want to be in the NFL must declare for the NFL draft, regardless of their remaining eligibility. I suppose it's like saying "I'm open for employment" after...

    Is it fair that Notre Dame is independent?

    A wild idea would be USF (South Florida) instead of FSU. Not only is it the opposite acronym but USF just joined the AAU in 2024, is located in a top 15 media market (Tampa Bay), and plays in a NFL stadium. I know they don't have the football history or massive fan base of FSU, but they would...

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    There's no replay of it that I can find, but Faalele reprised his wave we saw a couple times at the U, including when he scored that spring game TD. There was a small scuffle between the teams under 2 minutes and he did a big 2-handed wave goodbye to the opponents. You can do that when you...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    The more structured this all gets the better things probably get for the Gophers. It sounds like sacrilege but the best possible outcome for the Gophers might be a college football premiere league that is a fully affiliated minor league for the NFL. Gophers would probably be in the cool kids...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    This is generally true of left-leaning economics and politics as a whole. The floor is raised but the ceiling is lowered. People's opinions on that outcome vary. Personally, I think it's better for the wealth to be spread more evenly, though far from equally. I think that parity and balance...

    Source: Veteran offensive line coach Matt Limegrover stepping down at Kent State; open to an analyst role at a Power Four institution

    Not a great start to the PJ Fleck head coaching tree. Flashes are only drawing about 5,000 fans for each home game and were only within 19 points in one MAC game vs. 3-9 Ball State. Lost to Tennessee and Penn State by a combined 127-0

    What’s needed make a step up?

    In addition to what others have said, a truly top level QB would help. It's been over 50 years (1972) since a Gopher QB has been drafted in any round of the NFL Draft. Not even as a flier back in the 12 round era. Not even when the Gophers have had some very good teams recently. There...
