    Mo Ibrahim signs with the Vikings

    I would think that there is almost no chance for him to make the active roster. He was signed to come in, play this game and take the hits off the guys who are going to make the squad. If he impresses, maybe they will try to sign him back to the practice squad. At this point, I think the...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    Unless they are worried about an avulsion fracture where the tendon pulls away a piece of the bone.

    Matt Ruhle said the loud stadiums at Minnesota and Colorado to start last season basically took him a bit by surprise.

    The atmosphere that night was electric. The crowd was well lubricated and really loud.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    I don't have ready access to the numbers, but from what I remember, hockey historically made a profit. That changed as attendance dwindled toward the end of the Lucia era. They should be able to do better than break even over time.

    UCLA coach DeShaun Foster with a really awkward Big Ten media day opening statement (video)

    My apologies to Scott Frost. I thought his blank stare and waived opening statement was as awkward as it could get. Scott Frost refuses opening statement

    Ohio State players received 'around $20 million' in NIL, believed to be largest amount in college football

    The rival agent isn't going to know anything and is more likely to want the market artificially inflated for his or her own clients than to try to tear down somebody else. The IRS isn't going to care if your agent says "we secured NIL rights payments of $X for our clients last year" or your...

    Ohio State players received 'around $20 million' in NIL, believed to be largest amount in college football

    I don't think there's any verifiable public information on the amounts being paid. I believe that the schools collect information on who gets paid and for what, but that is mostly to be sure that the NIL deals don't violate the allowed subject matter. (For example, the University of Minnesota...

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    Lots of scholarships to help balance out football. I know two girls in my neighborhood who went to Division I schools (not the U) on rowing scholarships and neither of them had ever rowed before.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    Agreed. And they should be able to generate more revenue from those two sports, plus softball. It's been a few years now since I have spoken to anyone about this, but at that time there was a reluctance to increase ticket and donation levels for volleyball and softball because they were viewed...

    Bob Newhart, Comedy Icon, Dies at 94

    Didn't get to see him do stand up in person until he was well past his prime, but what a treat. A true legend of the art form. RIP Dr. Hartley.

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Food absolutely impacts the rate of absorption of alcohol into your system and thus your BAC at any specific point thereafter. (See pharmacygopher's post above.) Blood and breath tests actually do not always yield identical results. But they are two methods of trying to measure the BAC of the...

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Refusing the test at the station isn't an automatic DWI, it's a violation of Minnesota's implied consent law. (Which is based on the idea that, when you apply for a DL in Minnesota, you are consenting to being tested if suspected of driving under the influence.) The result of refusing a field...

    Mike Gundy seemingly admitting to driving under the influence "a thousand times in my life" in defense of star player's DUI arrest.

    Yes, it is "literally" how much alcohol is in your bloodstream. But the factors I mentioned impact how quickly that alcohol enters and exits your bloodstream. So two 45 year-old men who each weigh 200 pounds and each consumed six shots of Cuervo an hour ago may not have the exact same BAC...

    All Things Minnesota at UCLA at Rose Bowl Stadium October 12, 2024

    What money goes to the U? They may take a handling fee, but the ticket money goes to UCLA. I have asked people in the athletic department and they have told me straight out that they don't benefit from fans buying road game tickets through the U.

    They could sell more tickets since it's a larger venue, but any campus conflicts on that Friday night or Saturday would be minimal. Finals are over on Thursday.
