    Bad Choices Department: Tulane quarterback arrested for possession of a stolen car, suspended

    No joke

    I’m at Disney World and someone spots my hat and yells “Row the boat, Go Gophers!” while going the other way in the spring break crowds of humanity. I shout the same back, we exchange smiles. And then … somewhere in the direction of the teacups looks like a lone dude on the teacups ride yells...

    Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will hold fewer people than expected after renovations

    Sometimes capacity is reduced by a renovation by design…. but apparently this time it was a surprise and not planned. No explanation for what happened. No idea how you mess up this big.

    Rose Bowl Announces Upgrades to Stadium

    https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/12/02/facilities-rose-bowl I thought that for an old stadium the Rose Bowl actually was alright. They do need a new video board, and I think the outdoor "concourse" needs updates. However it appears the upgrades are video board (yay) and...

    UMass decides to not honor individual seniors on senior day

    https://x.com/MaroonMusket/status/1859780972348309729?t=7XWUTmEwR64GVh0Jt8rqpA&s=19 How do you screw that up? Senior day is pretty easy to pull off, and this is a horrible message to their seniors and pretty much everyone about their school. Anyone involved in this decision who approved of...

    Gophers - NIL & Dinkytown Athletes - $1million 👍🏻

    I got an email from Dinkytown Athletes that their recent Million Dollar Match campaign ... was successful. Apparently they picked up a ton of new members, and $1million in matching funds from Nepsis. NIL competitiveness is very much one of those cloudy things where you hear a lot but aren't...

    PJ hit his head on the ceiling while celebrating the victory over Illinois

    PJ was asked about it in the press conference this week, but now we have the video proof:

    On the topic of going for 2

    The Illinois game last weekend really drove home the weird conundrum that can happen regarding going for a 2pt conversion. 1. With 5:44 to go the gophers score a TD to go up 22 to 17 with the extra point(s) try pending. 2. They're up just 5, so you gotta go for 2 to extend the lead to 7...

    Help me understand these weird blitzes or something we do

    Our defense is pretty good, I don't want to complain too much. But we do this thing on defense where: 1. The play starts.... 2. A moment or two passes where the play develops. 3. Then a linebacker (I think occasionally a DB) looks like they blitz at end of the line. 4. They take a huge...

    "Big 10 Tradition"

    I noticed something interesting at the Rose Bowl. When the UCLA band played the U of M rouser they introduced it as "the big 10 tradition". Now I knew it was the Big Ten's tradition to play the opposing schools song to welcome them. It was just interesting to see them TELL the home crowd that...

    Gopher Featured In the CFO/NCAA Media Video!

    Oh wait... Granted I think it was the right call (don't brandish at me bro), and these videos are great for covering obscure calls.

    I'm worried PJ will become a thrill seeking degenerate play calling gambler now

    Right or wrong PJ's teams have had a reputation for low risk play calls. In addition Gophers have had some disappointing games, recently. This past weekend with an easy field goal to take the lead over a ranked opponent and with a stout Gopher defense ... PJ inexplicably calls a QB sneak right...
