I wouldn't be against PJ... Since he was hired on Jan 6, 2017... #1 Players in Minnesota: 2017 - Blaise Andries 2018 - Brevyn Spann-Ford 2019 - Quinn Carroll 2020 - Kaden Johnson 2021 - Riley Mahlman 2022 - Trey Bixby 2023 - Jaxon Howard 2024 - Koi Perich Carroll and Howard didn't originally...

Miami has underperformed but that doesn't mean it is a worse job. I would be a lot of money that Miami will win a National Championship again before the Gophers.

Terrible night to have it. I am not anti Monday night championship games, but Monday night after two straight nights of NFL playoffs is too late. They need to figure out how to get the Final 4 on New Years day and have the championship game 1 week later.

A lot of mentions of the 2014 Ohio State game. I missed that game. I had to attend a wedding in San Diego that my wife was a bridesmaid in. She had wedding stuff all day... I was by myself... ended up watching the game at a beachside bar. The looks the bartender gave me when I told him that I...

You and I think exactly alike. It would have been a set up for an all SEC final and once again the SEC would have been a National Champion. Notre Dame would have beat Georgia and ruined those plans.

Guessing you are older than 40 :)

I am 40 and cringe when I hear HOCO... Seems like low 30s and younger only refer to Homecoming as HOCO.

I don't think Ohio State makes a 4 team playoff this year after their loss to Michigan. I disagree, I think Oregon and Georgia would have been guaranteed locks. Zero chance they keep the SEC Champion out. I think they would go Notre Dame and Texas - you know because the SEC is the 'best...

Oregon beat them by 1 at home and then got ran out of the Rose Bowl. You could make an argument that there should be an * next to their win because they used a loophole in the rule to beat them. So much so, the NCAA changed the rule immediately. (For the record, I loved what Oregon did. I don't...

Agree - I was there. That was a classic Viking heartbreak, but the weather made it fun. Gopher related: The TCU game when they were ranked #1 or #2 The Cal game in 2009 Penn State this year was fun also. Mainly because we didn't lose the game as much as Penn State won the game. The game vs...

Based on how they played Ohio State in the playoffs I would put ND ahead of Oregon. The Ohio State/Oregon Rose Bowl game was over 10 minutes into the game. Ohio State was in cruise control over ND but ND at least fought back.

Lives in the Lakeville/Prior Lake area. To the best of my knowledge does not do any coaching.

This is my annual rant on this topic. The U does a horrible job of recognizing past players in the stadium. I am sure he has a banner somewhere inside the concourse - I go to nearly every game and couldn't honestly say I ever look at the banners above the concession stand. I so wish the Gophers...

I would agree. There has to be a lot more to the story. I would love to rip on Wisconsin and say it is a bad look for them, but I don't think it is that easy. As much as I hate to say it, I actually love that a school is fighting back and holding a player accountable if they signed something.

I actually wouldn't blame him for doing so. Obviously the Sam Darnold story didn't end beautfiully this year, but if anyone can learn from him it is find a team that will actually help you. His career was dead with the Jets and Panthers and he saved it somehow. Baker Mayfield could do the same...

I'll take it as a positive sign when people want to stick around the program and continue to coach. It's obvious that Fleck trusts and respects him.

That is true - but I think there is a culture of winning and that doesn't disappear when they switch levels. Could they be a Boise State? Very possible. Their fan base is what makes them unlikeable. They have unrealistic expectations on who/what they are, but I get it. They have ended more...

Totally agree with you that the appeal of playing there is winning. I also think if they went to the Mountain West, MAC, etc they would be able to fit right in after a recruiting class or two. Again, do I think they would make a dent in the national scene? Absolutely not. Do I think they would...

I'd argue that the fact they are in the NFL means they are good and good film against FCS competition only gets you to training camp. Once you are at training camp NFL teams don't care where you come from or how you get there... with the exception of a rookie drafted in the first three rounds.

That is very true. I find the Bison program very easy to like. I find their fans very hard to like.... Those two added together makes me luke warm on the Bison - like I said, I am not a Bison lover, but I am not a hater either.
