    What was your favorite Patrick Reusse moment?

    Agree. Reusse is a very old school reporter and he was once the best sports columnist in this market by a good margin. Granted, he probably hasn't kept up with the changing times and what the modern consumer of sports news is looking for, but I doubt he really cares all that much. He takes...

    Marcus Q&A with Coyle: "I’ve started to have conversations with people today...I’ve had conversations with people about who is interested and not"

    I'm down with the decision to let Johnson go. As Coyle said, it's about consistency. But I really laugh at a lot of the posters that wanted Johnson's head on a pike that rather than taking a breath and acknowledging their long national nightmare is over, they just start b*tching again.

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    Payne has played fewer minutes per game this year than last and he's started a lower percentage of games. So I'm guessing it had little to do with usage.

    Pantherhawk

    I seem to remember him as a big Star Wars fanatic. I thought someone posted a pic of him in Darth Vader gear brandishing his dime store lightsaber. Could have been someone else.

    2025 high school football thread

    If the child is on Medical Assistance, they are automatically counted in the education funding formula that is based on the child's poverty status and the school's (both by building and district) concentrations of children in this category. It was thought that going to direct certification...

    Max Brosmer trying to become first Gophers quarterback drafted since 1972

    Game has changed so much. Curry never completed 50% of his passes, but I always enjoyed watching him the rare times that the Gophers were on television. Talk about a guy who could throw across his body and deliver a bullet. Looking back at the stats, Doug Kingsriter was his most reliable...

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    I don't think the Purdy comparison is that far off. As good as Purdy has played, there are some warts in his game. He has a couple of skills related to his mobility and ability to throw across his body, but his arm strength is likely average at best and he's playing in a system suited to his...

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    I don't follow pre-draft musings like I used to do, but Ersery has been all over the board from late-1st to late-2nd. Daniel Jeremiah at nfl.com doesn't have him in his top 50 and Dan Brugler at The Athletic has him a #50. Those rankings were pre-combine and maybe his combine numbers push him...

    Vote for MN for UNISWAG throwback uniform of 2024

    I'm old and outside of the Illinois uniform and the Gopher helmets, these uniform combos don't go that far back down memory lane.

    Former Gopher Jonathan Celestin new UAB linebackers coach

    The guy wa The guy had an unbelievable motor,. Not to start a ruckus, but the LB play is about the only thing I miss about the Kill/Claeys era. We had some LB groups that really pushed the action instead of reading things.

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    It will be interesting to see how Walley tests at the combine. He's not as good as Antoine Winfield, Jr., but he has those same instincts. I think he's a guy who could stick as a long-time contributor in the right situation. I think he's a little better than Eric Murray who has stuck around...

    Former Gopher Kim Royston named HC at Cretin

    Good for him! Great program and I always loved him as a Gopher.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yes there are three refs now and while I may have underrated the skills of the past, I don't think I underrated the speed of the past. Players are bigger, stronger, and faster than they were way back when. In the 1970s, we were told to never lift weights. While our coaches were only...
