    Rules of the Game

    Yes, this this is a back-court violation. The player that catches the ball has front-court status, and continues to have front-court status while in the air. The "three points" (the ball and both feet) applies to dribbling the ball across the mid-court line to obtain front-court status. But...

    The Bottom 10 - A Rocky Mountain low in Colorado

    Have "experts" harped on how easy Michigan's non-con schedule was? They hammered #1, #3, and #6 in the bottom 10 rankings, then struggled with Maryland. Ranked #4 in both polls. We rolled #2, #9 and bottom feeder in the FCS WIU, then absolutely worked over MSU on the road...#21/23 in the...

    Amazing NCAA stats for Gophers

    Some other stats I compiled ignoring the 4th quarter of each game, since the games have all been garbage time 4th quarters: In the first 3 quarters of the 4 games (12 quarters total) Outscored Opponents 156 - 3; Q4 27 - 21 First downs given up in Q1 - Q3 = 25; Q4 first downs = 17 Total Yards...

    New 2023 commit Reese Tripp

    Yes, that’s the same guy. More than likely one of the freakiest athletes to don the Maroon and Gold in any sport.

    Carson Hinzman 2022

    Wow. I lived in Mondovi until I was 7, and my dad coached on the Mondovi football staff in the 70's and 80's during this era. Little Mondovi (population 2500) had 3 Big 10 players, Tripp, Krumrie, and Jess Cole (went to UW to play QB before transferring to UWEC.). Good memory, Married!

    University of Minnesota on 60 Minutes

    I am a U of M track and field alum. I think the thing about all of this that gets under my skin is the excess that the football team spends money vs. the non-revenue sports. When I got to the U (Fall 1997), I wasn't showered with gear. All of the non-revenue sports got the same stuff. A pair...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MARYLAND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Our defense is by far the worst I've seen for the gophers in my 23 years as a fan. No Robb Smith to blame. Just overmatched players.

    Bruce Feldman’s 2020 college football Freaks List (5. Boye Mafe, Minnesota, defensive line)

    Mafe high jumped 6'7" in high school at 225 lbs. I saw him jumping at the state track meet, where he only made 6'4". He very much stood out, being surrounded by a bunch of 6'3", 160 pound string-beans. Freaky athlete. I think he could be something we haven't had at the U. Excited to see his...

    Not a foul - lol

    As much as I hate the Badgers, here's a different angle of approximately the same moment as the OP's picture. Ball just leaving Oturu's hands. Ruevers is 6 inches away from Daniel. There are times to feel screwed over by the refs, but this is not one of them.

    Freiermuth: “I don’t think they have the caliber of tight end room”

    Is the RPO offense the Gophers run more PJ's offense or KC's offense? Do offensive coordinators at the college level run the offense they are given to run by the HC, or do they bring their offense to the table? Just wondering where we'll see the most change with this move, here or at State...
