    Looks like Goldy Gopher against middle schoolers

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    Judge for yourself but looks like a difference maker.

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    He’s tall, quick, strong, and looks like he can really get down the field. Exactly what the offense needs. His offer list out of high school was ridiculous. Maybe someone dropped a bag of cash on him.

    Northwestern home games

    Yep, but insurers/reinsurers are good at taking in premiums, less good at paying out if there is some sort of contractual weasel room. Ultimately, maybe the attorneys fare best.

    Spring Practice Observations

    If true that’s probably a really bad sign. I can’t imagine any true freshman is ready for Big 10 defenses.

    Spring Practice Observations

    I understand the need to rationalize everything PJ says or does but it’s ok to take issue with some things at times. Nobody will kick you out of the fan club. Well, maybe a few here will try. Gotta believe the players particularly young or backup would have liked to have been on BTN, even if...

    Former Gophers QB Demry Croft to start for AFL's Minnesota Myth

    The minor league guys are paid various levels of peanuts if they get paid at all…and there is constant tumult, as you’ve pointed out. Amplifies football players have other options to the NCAA leagues or NFL but they aren’t great. The college players and schools need each other…but brand...

    Former Gophers QB Demry Croft to start for AFL's Minnesota Myth

    Yeah, I think there’s pretty solid evidence neither can throw consistently throw worth a schit. Some of the off platform throws from AK when he wasn’t even under pressure were just…amazing. Not in a good way. I think Croft’s legs might tip it to him. But, let’s see if Ciarrocca can pull...

    Former Gophers QB Demry Croft to start for AFL's Minnesota Myth

    According to the internet the domestic battery/girlfriend charges resulted in a not guilty at trial/lack of evidence. The rape charges were dropped by the accuser. Croft’s lawsuit versus Tennesseee State over an alleged lack of due process from their version of EOAA is set for Jan 2025. There...

    Is this the Next evolution of NIL - Corporate Sponsors (FedEx Inks Deal)

    The article didn’t really mention how much of that $5M marketing budget will actually filter down to the athletes. Looks like there will be tailgating and family type meet and greets, ad campaigns and of course the efforts are facilitated by Altus Sports Partners, a private equity-owned...

    Former Gophers QB Demry Croft to start for AFL's Minnesota Myth

    Oh boy. He generated as much animosity as Morgan. The passing unit that year (year one, I believe) was almost incomprehensibly bad. Not at all on Croft. IIRC did ok after the transfer. In hindsight given what we know now on their respective strengths and weaknesses would you choose...

    No Sitting Out for Transfers

    Meanwhile the recent explosion and ease of sports betting incentivizes players, staff, officials in all the wrong ways and will increasingly throw the veracity of every competition into question. Hard to put that back into the bottle as well. In many ways we’re in stage one of the five stages...

    Cameron Begalle Commits to Gophers!

    Adding to the aforementioned Fruechte was kinda fast, Wolitarsky was kinda slow. Freuchte was said to have a 100m around 10.8 and a 40 “around” 4.4. Despite that the jet sweep netted about half a yard in what, a dozen attempts? Never know till you try. And try again. Despite Woli’s thicker...

    AKA pay for play. If this goes unchallenged by the NCAA Molly bar the door.

    No Sitting Out for Transfers

    Rules around when a student may enroll and be considered a “student” could apply; rules around late or early enrollment, end and beginning of terms. Not sure. But yes, if Justice Kavanaugh is correct then without possibly arbitrary “because I said so” league-wide CBA protections from the...

    My size/speed/production comp would be a DeLaSalle product with an affinity for entertaining manifestos, dramatic exits, and discussions with older women.

    Cameron Begalle Commits to Gophers!

    Looks like he *could* be a natural pass catcher which has been a bit of a problem for a few of the guys in recent years. If he’s actually quick/fast…

    OJ Simpson

    Well, sure those are more reasonable than the guy who’d been hitting, stalking, threatening Nicole for years and drove around LA for hours with a gun to his own head contemplating suicide after killing the object of his obsession in a fit of rage after she finally left him for good. There are...

    Michigan receives 3 years probation, a fine & recruiting restrictions from NCAA for 5 current/former staff members’ recruiting violations during COVID

    Michigan men are pompous enough to not give AF as they celebrate. Everyone’s doing it, just got caught, yada yasa. There really is nothing as annoying as a Michigan fan. Not even a Bizen fan.
