Why sponsor the Big XII when the Deion Sanders family is probably willing to sell naming rights for a few million less? Think of all the free publicity the company would get if so closely associated with Deion and his sons, who are always in the news!

Brazen nepotism usually implodes at some point. 2025 might be OK for the Bison. Wheels come off in 2026.

Yawn.

DJ is simply a great kid. Whether he plays on Sundays or not (he might well), the Gopher culture, and his embrace of it, have set him up for a fine, productive, and meaningful adult life. For some GopherHolers, football is only about wins and losses; for me, the high character stuff really...

Yes ...

I think they lease the Lambos and let the kids use them during the lease period. Insurance must be sky high. Total cost is probably, what, $1200 to $1500 per month per Lambo? Do-able, if that is what you think will convince a kid to play football at your program. But what it says about your...

I’m OK with the “sorting out” of schools that NIL, particularly gross NIL excesses, is producing. The Gophers are now clearly in the camp of schools that assemble teams of student athletes rather than highly-paid mercenaries. I feel as thought the Gophers are currently in a situation like that...

A meaningfully better offense, one that stays on the field and extends drives (ideally for points), should make for a less fatigued, less stressed and better performing defense. Go Gophers!

Nebraska has a pretty easy early schedule (compared to most B1G teams). Could actually open 7-0, assuming it will kick Colorado’s ass in game 2. {Could open 7-0 and finish 7-5; later part of schedule has some good teams.}

Pick Neb to win 8 every year and some year you’ll be right, because even a broken clock is right twice a day.

2024: Addition by subtraction

Look for Karmo to be a leader in his recruiting class. Another kid on track to be a life-long hometown hero!

Huskers are pretty happy about the chance to flip Karmo. College football is a tough racket. https://cornhuskerswire.usatoday.com/2024/05/21/nebraska-football-recruiting-emmanuel-karmo-class-2025/

In PJ’s one great Gopher year (2019), he passed more than in any year since. Yet we had a great running game, too, with three RBs sharing the load: Rodney Smith, Shannon Brooks and Mo Ibrahim. If in 2019 we had decided to pass less, and also allocate virtual all carries primarily to one back...

Based on Fleck's history with Captain Kirk, it is fair for a preseason prognosticator to favor Iowa. PJ's Gophers have choked often again Iowa. And Iowa almost beast us last year though playing a QB materially worse than even ours. The odds that have some credibility are those set after the...

Sorry, my near-sighted eye (blind in the other) saw Washington's B+ but transposed it to Northwestern. WTF?

Agree totally.

B+ for Northwestern.

... and different QB. Hope springs eternal.

Unless someone retires from football for medical or other reasons.
