    Opting out of Bowl Games

    Again, I feel like Jake Butt isn't the best example, though. It wasn't some small game, it was the Orange Bowl. I feel like the opt out scenarios apply a lot less to the NY6 field of games during that time period. Of course they still had at the time the option to opt out, but I don't think the...

    Opting out of Bowl Games

    I have to imagine on the NFL's side of things, it's some legal tape that prevents them from paying players who were injured in a game not connected to the league. One would hope that maybe an extra amount of money could be worked into rookie contracts, in specific cases like these for promising...

    So this is going to be the third national title meeting between Valdosta State and Ferris State. Valdosta State won in 2018 49-47 and Ferris State won in 2021 58-17.

    Marshall has notified officials that it is opting out of the Independence Bowl vs. Army, sources tell @YahooSports.

    Really too bad for Marshall. It's been a pretty solid program since moving up from FCS, especially in the late 90s/early 2000s and 2010s. Such a large exodus has to be disheartening.

    Valdosta State (Ga.) defeated Minnesota State-Mankato today 35-21. They are now going to play for their fifth national title, having won previously in 2004, 2007, 2012 and 2018. They will face the winner of the Ferris State (Mich.) Vs. Slippery Rock (Penn.) game. It would be Slippery Rock's...

    I wonder if he had a few offers and is deciding on which to accept. I have to imagine at least one of them would send an invite his way.

    Figured it would be helpful to have a single thread tracking where Gophers aiming for the draft will be playing in all star games. Here's who I've found so far. LG Tyler Cooper - Shrine Bowl QB Max Brosmer - Shrine Bowl CB Justin Walley - Shrine Bowl OT Aireontae Ersery - Senior Bowl DE Jah...

    Entire football team reportedly plans to enter portal to follow HC

    The whole situation is weird with the coach making what's basically a lateral move to Southern Miss after the stint at Marshall. Same conference, too.

    Gophers in Mayo Bowl vs Va Tech!!

    I'm glad the game is on a Friday, rather than them being in the middle of the week like the last few games played. It's different when they've been on New Year's Day like in 2014 and 2019. But for 2015, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the bowls were on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, usually...

    Gophers in Mayo Bowl vs Va Tech!!

    This will be the 12th team from the current ACC that Minnesota has played. All time, Minnesota is 20-14-1 Vs. the ACC. Some of the teams in the ACC now were in different conferences when the Gophers played them, though. The most played opponent for Minnesota in the ACC is Pitt, with the Gophers...

    Kind of surprised by that from Hawkeye fans, they won 8 games including all of their rivalry trophy games. Not an awful season. As for the Gophers, I have a feeling it will be Music City, but ReliaQuest would be awesome. Even if it's not on NYD anymore.

    Minnesota State-Mankato will now advance to the semifinal and face Ferris State (Mich.). Ferris defeated the defending national champion Harding (Ark.) and won the title themselves in 2021 and 2022.

    A bit surprising, I figured the committee would want Nebraska to play Oklahoma in a bowl since they're both 6-6. Good chance for a big crowd.
