Great kids giving their best. Who cares. It's a business. Results matter. If you want to feel good about college kids playing for the love of the game, go watch the MIAC. This is big time and big money entertainment and if people want to spend their discretionary income on things that entertain them more, I can't say I blame them.Absolutely not done. We have a lot of great kids in this program who are giving it their best. I support them, now more than ever because I feel that it is our coaching staff that is more likely the issue. I will treat this season as if we are underdogs in all future games, celebrate the players’ efforts and accept the fact that our coaches’ limitations might be the anchor holding us down.
WOW! Just wow. That explains a lot...Great kids giving their best. Who cares. It's a business. Results matter.

To you college football is principally a business. To many oldsters such as me, it is still a collegiate activity with business elements. If you want a purely professional football experience, you are lucky. You can root for an in-town NFL team. I respect how you feel—that Gopher football is simply a business. But I feel very differently.Great kids giving their best. Who cares. It's a business. Results matter. If you want to feel good about college kids playing for the love of the game, go watch the MIAC.

Exactly, even if we found an elite coach we are still limited by geography and NIL. Pretty tough to consistently have a leg up on more than a handful of Big10 teams as pretty much all of them are in better situations.2019 was the outlier. It's that simple. In the era of NIL, the transfer portal, and an 18-team conference with no divisions, the goal is to win 6 games and go to a bowl. Anything more than that is gravy.
I don't root for the in-town NFL team. I'm a Seahawks fan. And my comments are regarding major college football as a whole.To you college football is principally a business.

I don’t know if we know that we are limited by NIL. The MN fan base is full of rubes and a splashy name could absolutely change that opinion.Exactly, even if we found an elite coach we are still limited by geography and NIL.

I agree. People who live in the past so much they think this is about rah rah school spirit etc. and not about money should probably leave. They don't understand how this business works in the modern era.People who feel like that should go.
Yeah, that’s what I tell my kids.Great kids giving their best. Who cares. It's a business. Results matter.
