    Hockey = less D I football players

    No excuses ... asking a reasonable question to those who know more than me.

    Hockey = less D I football players

    I am not from a hockey area so will rely on insight from others. Was wondering if those in the know think that because we have so many DI and DII hockey players in Minnesota ... does that take away athletes that would be DI scholarship football players. If so ... just in looking at them from...

    Eight Gopher Early Enrollees Coming In January

    Lots of kids like HS and all the social aspects of it. They don’t want to miss out. Some excel in other sports and want to see them through. Others may not have the emotional maturity to leave home early.

    Faalele

    Was thinking the same thing. However, if there is any chance he may re-injury the leg long term then he doesn't play. I'm sure everyone will do what is best for the player.

    Faalele

    Will Faalele be back for the bowl game? Have not heard that he wouldn't or would be playing.

    Abi N-Okonji has Entered the Transfer Portal

    I think some of this is today's society. I am a retired H.S. coach in a variety of sports. I coached at a good sized school next to a bigger city. What I found in my last years was that some kids were not willing to battle for a spot. They basically wanted a guaranteed position. Jobs were...

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    Been a Gopher fan longer than most on here have been alive. So not trolling. The Gopherholers were stressing out and not understanding why any of our instate recruits would go to that place east of us. The simple reason may be that the coach is a likable person. Simple as that.

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    I just hear folks hating on anything Wisconsin. Listened to him talk a few times. Like Spoofin said maybe a little boring but seemed like a nice guy. Folks are complaining and not understanding losing kids to Wisconsin. Just saying a lot of people like a lower energy...down to earth guy.

    Paul Chryst - not a bad guy

    I have probably read more about Paul Chryst and have listened to more of his interviews this year than I ever have. I know a lot of you could never put the fact that he is coach at Wisconsin aside ... however, I think he is a nice, down to earth guy that a lot of us would love if he were our...

    Less Predictable

    Anytime you are less predictable you should be more successful....IMO

    Less Predictable

    Yes I do and so do you .... every team has those things in their playbook. They just decide to use them or not.

    Less Predictable

    I see teams quite often try a trick play. Again ... it keeps teams honest. Just a couple come to mind ... every year the Patriots use those plays. Oklahoma seems to come up with those types of plays and he is considered an offensive genius. A silly response to say that by adding a few plays...

    Any time signing period

    I don’t know for sure but I would think anytime after the late date until the season started in the fall.

    Less Predictable

    The fun trick play once in a while would be fun. See. a lot of teams throwing them out there, H.S, college and the pros.

    Less Predictable

    I hope we run a few less predictable plays in certain areas. I know during the regular season there may not have been a viable option if Morgan got hurt so they didn't run him hardly at all. However, in the bowl game I would like to see him keep the ball once in a while to keep the defense...

    Any time signing period

    Organizations like ESPN and Internet groups would probably fight the change because they most likely earn extra advertising and income this time of year.

    Any time signing period

    I actually like the idea. I wonder if this has become a made for TV event and too big to change to something like you brought up. I would like it ... although I backtrack a bit because this is one of my favorite weeks of the year. They monitor at my work when you are doing none work stuff...

    Any time signing period

    I remember someone on here mentioning that kids should be able to sign anytime they decide they are ready to commit to a school. Who would that benefit the most? Schools like Minnesota or helmet schools? I see it being good for the schools if they can get a kid to really commit and not just...

    Gophers receive a commitment from IMG Academy linebacker Jaqwondis Burns

    Don't know anything about him but if lots of other schools want him I'm glad he's going to be a Gopher!
