Frank Ragnow is sporting a Gopher shirt at the Chaska game. Unfortunately some kid told him to go to FSU.

Did you hang around long enough to see whether or not Ragnow slammed him in the chops and told the kid, "Buzz off Mother Fvck"?

chaska has the same fight song as the gophers. irrelevant thought

So did Harmony (Now Fillmore County Central) when I was in High School. Does anyone know if it still is?

Way back then, Harmony was the Cardinals, Preston was the Blue Jays, Lanesboro was the Burros, Chatfield was the Gophers, Spring Valley was the Wolves, Caledonia was the Warriors, Spring Grove was the Grovers, and others in that area I don't remember. etc...etc...etc.

The best High School Theme song is still the Minnesota Rouser!!!

Don, it is now a version of the Notre Dame song.

Trevon Walters, a RB who was scheduled to visit on 9/27, has committed to Missouri.

Hopefully we can get the commit train rolling a bit once the season starts. Out of the 65 teams in the major 5 conferences we are last in # of commitments.

The quality of the recruits has been good, and we've got some visits set up, but it'd still be nice to break the drought.

The gTeam only need to improve on last year and defy the media. The recruits will come.

Why is Connor Mayes on the verge of decommiting?

 

[Spoofin]

Why is Connor Mayes on the verge of decommiting?

Mayes is solid. Don't worry about his commitment at all.

 

[Dr.Don]

Why is Connor Mayes on the verge of decommiting?

Who said he was? All that is reported is that he is visiting TCU. Relax.

 

[It's a Pig Man!]

Why is Connor Mayes on the verge of decommiting?

He his most certainly not on the verge of decommitting. He and his family are simply taking the opportunity to attend some great college football games for free, they will be attending some other games as well. This is all coming directly from his father (posted on GI). For the record, they'll be attending 5 Gopher games this year if that eases some of your minds.

Listed as soft verbal at Georgia. All other schools listed as "interest - none", except Minnesota. O.K. Interest is listed as "low" but hey, it's listed!

 

[t-docious]

I dont really put much faith in those. The fact he is coming for a visit says there is at least something there, a warm perhaps?

[John Galt]

Brian Anderson has built a strong relationship with Williams, which is one of the reasons he is coming here. There is definitely a chance.

The 2014 class is shaping up to be far and away Kill's best.

Not worried about Wisconsin one bit. He's passed down a ton of offers from their coaching staff to visit. Probably just going to pick up an offer...
