Tally of Starters Opting Out

[GopherVotary]

But I am still “traumatized” by his bowl game collapses against Texas Tech and North Carolina State. (Please don’t bring up Michigan….)

Maybe we would have been spared the Brewster Experiment if the TT kicker missed that 52-yard FG at the end of regulation.

It was discussed that some playoff players might be able to go into the portal and still play for their team as long as they stay committed to their squad until the playoffs are done. Seems like it would be a really strange situation but I guess it may be happening in some cases.

There were a number of players from a team (Florida, I think) who played for them in their bowl game a year or two ago despite being in the transfer portal. The announcers mentioned it a number of times during the game.

Maybe what we have to do: no bowl game, NIL money is forfeited as they aren’t carrying out their part of the bargin.

Would hurt recruiting. And I really think coaches prefer to get a look at "next up" in these games.

Oregon, build dude. Remember that Oregon walk-off win, Build. Mase was also the best damn Gopher coach to have to coach in that damn dome and to even have to recruit to that soviet designed piece of crap when it wasn’t booked for monster truck events or tractor pulls…

Mase is one of the best coaches to coach at the university since they fired Murray Warmath and Cal Stoll, and don’t you ever forget it!

Take that Build!!!! ;0)

To use your words against you only big ten wins matter and in 2.5 less years PJ already passed Mason in that regard

Thank you for paying attention re: Big Ten wins. However, Build’s post ONLY mentioned bowl games.

Also, PJ never had to coach in that damn dome OR recruit to the humpty DUMP stadium.

Don’t jump to conclusions: The Only thing about coaches iI said was that Mase was one of the best Gopher coaches in Football SINCE they fired Murray warmath and Cal stoll. That was a long time ago and a whole bunch of football ago!

I have become a big damn fan of both Mase AND PJi

they have had different advantages and disadvantages during their tenures. Both the right coach for their specific period period of time.

DB Mansoor Delane is arguably their biggest loss too, star CB for them.

Build’s post ONLY talked about bowl games. PJ has a pretty nice run as a B1G coach. I’m a BIG fan of PJ as a B1G. football coach!!!

But Build was only talking about bowl game. Back in Mason’s days no team EVER got a bowl game with less than 6 wins. ;0)
