I get that some of you had high expectations for a huge name to take this job. I get that some of you are angry and feel misled by Joel Maturi's comments of looking for a Tubby Smitho-type hire. However, I think most of you are acting like a bunch of drama queens. Let me just say that Jerry...

My GH time has greatly diminished because I get annoyed by the constant threads pining for underqualified coaching candidates. I thought maybe I'd just start a thread for everybody to post their candidate so that we can keep it consolidated to this thread. I'll start: Anybody currently...

This isn't about the Gophers but I thought I'd pass along some news from Ohio State. Projected starting OLB Tyler Moeller suffered a serious head injury. Details are a little unclear but it sounds as if he was dining at a sports bar for his grandparents anniversary while on vacation with his...

1. Ohio State 2. Penn State 3. Michigan State OPOY: Terrelle Pryor (OSU) DPOY: Greg Jones (MSU) It seems like an awful lot of credit for a QB that led the #105 ranked passing offense in the country but the media loves TP.

I mentioned this in the CDH discussion but I thought it deserved it's own thread. In the last 5 years EP has sent seven players to play DI football. Minnesota offered a scholarship to all seven players but the only two to commit to Minnesota held a combined 0 offers from out of state schools...

I've got 3 friends that are making their way back to campus for homecoming. They are all alums that live out of town. If anybody can't make the game and has tickets available please PM me. Thanks.

As a part of a 50 state tour, College Football Live will have an episode featuring Minnesota on July 7. There are 3 questions posed for voters: 1) Best team in state history 2) Best player in state history 3) Best coach in state history. Judging from the early results it looks like St. Johns...

I like the idea of the thread discussing where everybody is sitting at the new stadium. However, at this point there are so many posts that I find it hard to scan the thread. Also, we are 4 months (to the day!!!) away from the opening of TCF Bank Stadium so I'm going to forget people's section...

I thought I would start a thread to discuss the label "Mid-major" and how it is applied. Recently I have seen the term applied to NDSU and members of its conference and I have to say that I think that this is inappropriate. Before we define what is a mid-major we need to define the classes...

I'm watching the end of this Mississippi State vs. Tennessee game and I am just amazed at how bad the conference is. Has a major conference ever been worse than the SEC is this year? Pending the outcome of this game, the SEC may only receive 2 berths ot the tournament. I never remember one of...

Since Gold04 got attacked for calling our Wide Receivers the best in the conference in another thread I wanted to post what Big Ten Tonight (Big Ten Network) reported last week when ranking the returners in the Big Ten. It turns out Gold04 may be on to something. Note: this is only an analysis...

Someone mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago that during the Kentucky bowl game the coach said his goal when he arrived at Kentucky was to improve team speed. Kentucky has 19 players that run a 4.5 40 or faster which is up from 2 when the coach arrived. This got me thinking about Minnesota...

Illinois 50 Purdue 51 3:30 minutes to play. ESPN 2.

I've been thinking recently that it would be nice to have a more memorable entrance than what the Gophers currently have. This would seem to encourage the students to arrive early (I know some fans like to complain about the student section being empty in the 1st quarter) and it would create...

Sh-t! I really wanted to add a 4 star LB to this class.

Catered menu options with expanded food and beverage choices are going to be permitted in Private Suites at TCF Bank Stadium but will not be permitted anywhere else in the facility. You need to spend $45,000 for a private suite. The Indoor Club Seats are going to have a private bar and catered...

Someone on the Strib blog is saying that Ralph Spry, Andre Tate', and Jimmy Thompson left the team this week. They are all in their second year (2007 recruits) and have been passed up on the depth charts by players in the 2008 class so it wouldn't surprise me. Can anybody confirm it?
