Buyout would cost $3 million and new coaching staff probably adds millions more. Keep Claeys, keep all the assistant coaches, and hire 3-4 more strength and conditioning coaches. S @ C coaches would have more impact on the field than a new coach and save $2.5 million. All these buyouts...

At the end of this year, there could be job openings at LSU, Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas, Auburn, and USC. Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Penn State appear safe, for now. Are there enough quality coaches to fill these jobs? Assuming Tom Hermann and PJ Fleck get two of those jobs, who are the other...

He must interview extraordinarily well, because he keeps getting better jobs with no results. Have any of his offenses improved during his tenure?

Did they forget the on field microphones? No crowd noise. No band. Just Joey and Beth. Sounds like a high school game on cable access. I miss Aggievission.

Don't know how this will turn out, but an early observation is that BG is a bigger team. I remember making the same observation in Brewsters first game, also against BG. Indiana's O line is small.

Really impressive guy. Reminded me of growing up, one of my friends Dad who was the type of guy you stood up straight around. Suddenly, all you could say was yes sir and no sir.

I'm going to buy my tickets to the Hockey City Classic soon. I'm only a casual hockey fan but love the Gophers. I'm just going to get some $15 seats. Would you recommend sitting in the closed end of the stadium in what is usually the student section or sitting in section 105. Both are...

Much prefer the Gophers helmet decal. http://deadspin.com/northwesterns-very-literal-wounded-warrior-unis-have-1458223321?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

After losing a heart breaker, they stand at 3-6. Bowl hopes are on life support. Without a bowl game you lose: 15 extra practices Reward for players Recruiting tool Ability to sell progress They can't change coordinators, because I think they did that last year. The coaching staff will go...

Frank Ragnow tweeted that he talked to Bielema about playing both ways. Since it is a high schoolers twitter, I resisted replying with a joke about Bielema going both ways. It was difficult.

In all the excitement of the fumble recovery and the win, the defensive play call and Vereens play haven't received enough credit. Vereen was all over that play and forced the issue. As Mike Max would say, "good job, Ben".

Called Brock Vereen "Ben" in his post game interview.

We finish 8-4. We finish behind Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Sconnie. Penn St is not eligible. Every bowl will pick Iowa and Nebraska ahead of us if we are tied or only one game ahead of them in standings. Iowa loses to Wisconsin and Michigan but beats Purdue. Nebraska loses to Penn...

Cute as a button in that Gopher hat. That is all.

It's been almost 7 years since Mason was fired and 3 yrs since Brewster was fired. Move On!!!!! This used to be a fun place to visit for game information. Now every thread gets hi jacked by the same people saying the same things they said 5 years ago. Gophers 24 Wildcats 20.
