Gophers Fleck on closing the gap against top teams: "...Just because you want that doesn't mean that's going to happen."

PJ is right

These days the money talks and bullsh!t walks with the parents and players seems more highlighted. Not all student athletes but a lot. I mean they do get a salary cap from the AD for what they can pay from NCAA perspective , but as said in the Oregon after game threads, the other ancillory NIL money paid by donors at Oregon, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Michigan, IU, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma that is all at another stratospheric level from the U currently. Just like in the cheating days it is hard to compete with the bag man if you don't have the car dealers, Oil men, tech people, big money people. I believe Fleck does his best to promote the Elite fund and sell, but getting people to donate is never easy.

Not even if we ask Santa, Coach.

He is 100% correct, of course, kind of a no brainer, and I am qualified to make that observation.

There's zero reason coaches shouldn't be able to contribute directly to NIL.

When still a Georgia fan in the 80s, really respected Danny Ford at Clemson in the early 80s when they won the National Championship.

If you're going to cheat, then cheat to win. No other reason to do it.

In this light never understood the cheating with Gangelfhoff and the Men's BB Team under Clem. It was my understanding that none of the players getting papers written for them (for years) were ever starters. Sheeeessh...

What would it take for MN to become a Penn State, or a Michigan?

Sorry but the tweet pic triggered an adverse fashion reaction...



The Billds really DISLIKE the lower color. Believe that Coach has shied away from it this season but it was prominent for several.

Coach's fashion choices are typically spot on...well, the ankles in his capris are a questionable look...but this color is yuck.

I kinda doubt Courtney James was that well versed in the women's menstrual cycle

Nobody is looking to have him compete against tOSU or Oregon to the point where we beat them other than once in a blue moon. Getting absolutely blown out by Iowa two years in a row once at home once on the road is completely unacceptable and for the folks that are saying that PJ has a good point here you are all lemmings.

So college sports has come down to coaches begging local restaurants for money?

That cat could rebound and score in the post. Now no one even tries play school. Clem was a pioneer. Not that I'm pro cheating but if you aren't hurting anyone... Man that era of Gopher hoops was fun

Can you imagine if they asked you if you wanted to Daniel faalele size your fast food order
