There’s huge money…$ billions! In college football and It’s all because young men train like hell and risk their physical and mental health and well being. The courts have now ruled that these kids can sell their services. What a tragedy. If any of us owned a business that had an injury rate...

A few years ago, the coach might have influenced a “leaner” decision on a head injury. I strongly suspect those days are long gone in a school like Minnesota. There just aren’t any circumstances in which a doctor from da “U” would ask a coach just how much he really needed a player to play...

I hope with a win that’s the case. More bulletin board material to stay motivated. Just wait if we win. It’s followed up with a bye week. We’ll drop like a rock for not winning that week for sure.

I remember the last home game I attended. OJ and USC came into town and we stayed even for the first half. Then the “Juice” went nuts. I think he ended the game over 2,000 yards and 15 TD’s. Maybe not but it sure seemed like it.

Minnesota Ohio State Nebraska Georgia Good 1st week slate. Let everyone start out pretty good (less a big upset) and raise the interest level. A bit harder each week, maybe?

Beat SC tonight 3-0. On to sweet 16! 12, 15, 15 steady put away.

Hearing rumors of possible adjustment problems with Coach Claeys has me concerned. I met him at 2 bowl games and there is little question in my mind that he was a gentleman and a fine coach. I do not like the way he was treated by, especially, President Kaler. The termination, however, was...

We've made a great move with our HC. We've made several stellar moves with assistants. We've had very good news with recruits. Most importantly our Admin has put the money where their mouths are. What's next? Well first, we get through NSD. If we can add just 1 or 2 key additions to what...

Football at Minnesota has been treated like an ugly stepchild. Under respected and used as the funding mechanism for the rest of the athletic department. Then Mason forced the new stadium...and got fired before it was done. Then Kill forced the new Athletes Village and football practice...

Are the Gophers pursuing a JC quarterback in this class? It doesn't look like we have a real gem ready to slide in as a starter.

Armstrong carried off the field at end of 1 st half. Tackled late going out of bounds. KO'd but seemed all right being put into ambulance.

There is a separate thread here about coaches who get more with less and less with more. Tracy Claeys should be at the top of the list of great coaches with talent that was not highly recruited. Only a handful of the current Gopher roster were really sought after by "Helmet" schools. Green...

Listened to him on the XM PGA tour channel. They were talking about preparing for the Ryder Cup and he talked about his pre game routine. He said he would get the entire team to lie on the floor the night before a game. He would turn out the lights for about a half an hour with the purpose of...

Win. Yeah, I know, but boy was this a challenge to watch. 3 targeting calls and each one a good call. Offense looked pretty ****ty, mostly because that vaunted bigger, stronger & meaner offense was only bigger. But I put most of the blame on the OC. OSU had 9 in the box and he kept...

When might an announcement be forth coming?
