TCU safety Chris Hackett will forego his senior season and, like Maxx Williams, will enter the 2015 NFL draft... "...TCU runs a 4-2-5 defensive set, and Hackett's departure would means the Horned Frogs -- who are set to return 10 offensive starters -- will need to replace five of their back...

It was good to see two Gophers (RaShede and Brock) get drafted a month or so ago -- the first Gopher draftees since Eric Decker was taken 4 years ago. I noticed how many Gophers (relatively speaking) were drafted during the Glen Mason era, as opposed to the Tim Brewster era (blanked during...

Been thinkin' bout the stipulation in Jerry Kill's contract, in which his assistants are assured of being paid in the top 1/2 of the B1G going forward...:confused: ...have to believe all other college football coaching staffs around the Conference...and across the country....will sit up and...

Watching the Belk Bowl, with Cincinnati playing the North Carolina Tarheels, I must admit I wasn't a huge fan of the $800K payout to UNC in order to shield the Gophers from having to play a talented BCS school, but after watching the first half, I'm sold. Jerry Kill and Woody Teague knew what...

I'm really hoping Jerry Kill can get fully healthy and continue to build the gopher football program. However, if a permanent change must be made, then that means most or all of the current assistants will likely be let go. The silver lining is that these assistants have apparently been in...

just got back in to town...gonna kick back and get ready for a big day of college football on the 7th... I see there are 32 college football games listed in the Star Tribune's "on the air Saturday" section. 31 of those games are televised, so anyone can watch the likes of Western Kentucky...

As of early 4th quarter vs. UNLV, the Gophers have only been flagged once...for running into the punter, when it could have easily been the 15-yard roughing the punter. The penalty was declined, so the Gophers officially have 0 penalties for 0 yards... On virtually every big play, the Gophers...

The Brew was hired in January, 2007, so the bottom-ranked Gopher recruiting class of 2007 (which included the 'electrifying' Harold Howell) cannot be held against him, with just those precious few weeks available to try to salvage a class. The recruiting class of 2008 was his supposed crowning...

Most of us remember when Glen Mason was terminated at the end of the 2006 season. ESPN football analyst Mark May led the national pundits' outrage by loudly deriding the "U" decision makers: "Who do they think they are?" Can you imagine the incredulity - far and wide - if future Hall-of-Fame...

Been somewhat removed from the computer lately, but just checked out Scout, Rivals, ESPN and 247. Looks like Minnesota is dead last on every college football recruiting service, as of 1/31/13. Any chance we can get out of the Big Ten recruiting cellar in the next 5-6 days?

Been hearing positive comments this weekend from Jerry Kill, Sid, & Dave Mona on Gopher recruiting, so I decided to check out Scout's average star rating... Looks like the Gophers are currently tied for 100th place. I don't put a huge amount of emphasis on data like this, since I believe Jerry...

Against all odds, Pam Borton drove her ladies hard to a national championship! This happened on the heels of the Lady Gopher pucksters winning their national championship... And who can forget the Amazin' Lynx from last summer??!!!!!!!! What's with the Vikings, Wild, T-Wolves, etc?

Some may recall when Glen Mason was terminated at the end of the 2006 season... National media folks like Mark May questioned rather incredulously, "Who do those people in Minnesota think they are?!" Not an unexpected reaction to the firing of a good, solid college football coach known for...

I am a fan of Coach Kill and anticipate he will eventually lead the Gopher football program back to where Glen Mason had it... >> 8-15 record with 0 bowl appearances during Glen's first 2 seasons >>18-17 record with 2 bowl appearances during his next 3 seasons >>38-25 record with 5 bowl...

Briefly saw a TV interview this morning on CNBC...related to the 'business of sports' in America While I couldn't devote my undivided attention to the interview, I came away with the impression that PSU should anticipate hearing from the NCAA once the legal dust begins to settle (whenever that...

Looks like the Badgers will lose 5 senior starters on defense heading into next year: 1. DE Nzegwu 2. DT Butrym 3. LB Claxton 4. CB Fenelus 5. FS Henry And at least 5 senior starters on offense 1. QB Wilson 2. RT Oglesby 3. RG Zeitler 4. WR Toon 5. FB Ewing TE Byrne (part-time...

We've often heard of the Brew's crown jewel -- the Gophers' recruiting class of 2008. Much has been mentioned in glowing terms, both on these boards and elsewhere, of the anticipated impact of these recruits on the Gopher program. This 2008 class received 31 verbal commitments heading toward...

I must admit...I am somewhat surprised to see the number of Gopherhole references to Glen Mason being the cause of everything still wrong here in dinkytown:rolleyes: I mean, c'mon fellow 'holers...Glen has been gone since late 2006....it is now 2011... Does this mean that in 2015....we might...

For as much cheating as Purdue does on the recruiting trail...and after they get guys committed, signed and on campus (in both football and basketball), they sure don't do very well when it counts.:p
