Why would I look at their website. Nobody knows more than the folks on Gopherhole! By the way ... the Mrs. did make her flight on time.

Is this a real thing or not. My wife is supposed to leave for Phoenix at 3 p.m. today. A couple hour drive to the airport for us. So four hour round trip I don’t want to make it flights are canceled.

I would think $50,000 a year for every scholarship lineman at Texas might have had something to do with that. The NIL wars are in full swing!

20 million dollar buyout. Reduced his salary and buyout for next year if this happens again.

Years ago I coached his Dad and brother. Dad played pro football and brother pro basketball in Europe. His mom was an outstanding college VB player. Nice people with great athletic background.

I guess I don't get it ... Let's just say for instance. We have a normal graduation year. You have 28 new scholarships to offer. However, instead of offering them to high school kids ... you offered half of them portal kids. In the past it would have been almost 100 percent high school...

The number of 85 stays the same but the amount of players entering the Transfer Portal is increasing. Maybe earlier you filled in with say five guys. Now you have ten , maybe the next year 12 players and you choose to fill them with portal players where in the past you would have more...

It would grow if more college coaches decide it is easier and more reliable to take kids who have proven they can play at the college level instead of taking a risk on a project.

Here's a good article on the transfer portal and how it has caused fewer opportunities for high school kids. Last year 400 fewer high school scholarships were offered to high school kids and they think the number will grow...

MNVCGUY was remembering the Texas post as well ... beat me to the punch.

I don't know ... seems like the buying has begun .... Gophergrandpa posted this earlier. The Texas head coach said that OL was their weak link. So boosters (alias non-profit) are trying to fix that by offering each scholarship OL $50,000 Texas offensive linemen offered $50,000...

I am sorry but I can't remember the college ... it was out west ... a used car dealership set up a deal for something like $80,000 but it was to be spread out evenly to everyone on the football team. Those are the kind of deals I like. In a situation like this ... make playing until the...

For good players but not great … are they staying in college for extra years because they want to get that additional free education … have a better opportunity to make more money in college from NIL endorsements. Not much chance of ever making the pros …. Do you think this played a factor in...

I still think they ought give the backup QBs some meaningful snaps in a game situation. Having a backup that has some game experience is a good thing. Practice is not the same as a real game situation.

I didn't get to watch the start of the game but found out later about the safety getting tossed after the first play. That may have been the play of the game. From what I hear about him is that he is kind of the glue that holds that defense together ... the QB of the defense. So I think...

Agreed ... my wife who was on her phone most of the game said it sounded like they were playing home announcers instead of neutral. I agree ... we talked about them showing all the Wisconsin fans as well.

Actually our TE are glorified OTs

We never use our tight ends ... hope he grows and develops into a 1st OT.

Couldn't find the game but here is a video that is 8:25 of highlights to the Northwestern game

Someone told me that you can do a youtube search and get the whole game on youtube. Haven't tried that but seems like you can find everything you want and lots of stuff you don't want on youtube!
