    Torin Pettaway de-commits from Badgers, commits to Gophers one minute later!!!

    Poached a wisconsin commit from in-state, got a QB Kalen DeBoer signed to Washington, and a DB with a bunch of SEC offers. They still all have the typical Gopher 3 stars, but we're swimming in the right waters.

    2025 3* QB Jackson Kollack Commits

    He better be able to throw accurately or he's going to have the most joke-able name for a guy who throws balls since Grant Balfour.

    2025 3* QB Jackson Kollack Commits

    Getting a QB Kalen DeBoer wanted to sign early in the cycle in the middle of his team's big breakout season is a big deal.

    Money talks 💰💰💰 (if we're going to do it when we get poached, surely we can attribute our successes to that as well)

    Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck wants to know how Big Ten expansion affects conference’s beloved commercial

    I never noticed until now, but the commercial partially foreshadowed this realignment. It opens with the Rose Bowl then moves East over mountains before popping up in the plains of Nebraska.

    Iowa: Where the funding to improve highways comes from the tears of Hawkeye Fans.

    From this site's estimates, we're behind the other Quadrangle of Hate schools but not dramatically so. Mid-pack in the conference and about where we rank in football and football recruiting in an average year nationwide (35th). Private schools not included. USC is probably more and...

    Spring Practice Observations

    You said "either Lindsey starts game 1 or he doesn't play". Injuries are a really big part of the backup getting to show what he can do. As you can see in about half the seasons, the starting QB misses some games. When that happens and the QB2 outplays, PJ is willing to make a lasting change...

    Potential NFL Kickoff/Onside Kick Rule Changes

    Decreases the NFL prospects of Dragan Kesich, though I think he's got the raw power to get his chance on field goals. In the XFL, did teams try absurd pop-fly kickoffs? Since kicking touchbacks is less advantageous now, and fair catches are not allowed, the high and not-too-deep strategy from...

    Shama: New U QB: ‘I Live and Die by Preparation’

    I'm concerned that our QB prepares to die. Perhaps someone should check in and see how he's doing. Unless he's really into early estate planning.

    Every Single Scholarship Gophers Football Player Has an NIL Deal, PJ Fleck Reveals

    Your stock in that company represents some claim on the assets and future revenues of that company. If most investors sold their shares the price of those shares would go down a lot, but the value they represent would stay the same, assuming the business didn't change. Bitcoin is backed by...

    The Deion Sanders effect: Colorado sees record number of applications, including 50% spike from Black students

    The valedictorian of my high school (way, way far north) chose...Florida State. In the Bobby Bowden era. She was plain sick of the cold and FSU was cheap. The Florida #1 in education thing is heavily influenced by a few things: Selectivity. Because Florida is a high population state it...

    We need a statement tradition song!

    Let's all take our economic advice from a song that yearns for the days of Herbert Hoover I don't even recognize rural America since the days of you-know-who and I grew up on a dirt road in the UP of Michigan.
