  1. The B1G is so all over the place when it comes to sources which makes me think that either people are pretending they know something or the communication is nil and so schools are guessing.
  2. I dont trust 2020.... Knowing our luck he picks Iowa on a Nebraska football show just to dig the knife in more.
  3. According to Schaefer we dont have room for him... Hit are limit with Joseph. Wonder if the Gophers would be an option for him or does he go SEC?
  4.  anyone been to the Omaha Zoo in the last few weeks? We are visiting family this week and planning to go. What should i expect?

      So I 'think' you need a reservation at least a few days in advance, so you may want to call and double check now before you get there. Masks are required for all indoor exhibits and recommended for the outdoors as well. And then they're limiting the overall # of guests I believe but with the reservation that shouldn't be an issue.

       

      We sent several weeks ago and TBH it didn't really feel that much different. Just a little less busy but my family and I have almost always gone during non-peak hours/days.

  5. Its seems like a lot of groups have gone with the "I hope everything works itself out" strategy.... That has proven to not be great. Sadly, I feel like plenty of states and the Fed have taken this route--- lets just hope people stop caring so we can go back to normal or a miracle vaccine solves everything.
  6. Just saw PJ Fleck at Kinkos getting "2020 Co-National Champion" and "Row the boat to an undefeated season-2020" banners printed...

      aTm is really hoping they can add another year to their wall of shame.

  7. Huge hit for the Gophers but this makes sense for Bateman. This year is most likely all over the place and by opting out, he can sign with an agent and focus on working out without the distractions/risks. Gophers lose 2 high level WR's who made Tanner Morgan look really good.
  8. Rashod Bateman(WR- MN Gophers) has decided to opt out of the 2020 College Football season and focus on the 2021 NFL Draft. Huge hit for the Gophers.

      @BigRedBuster Bateman is a first-round prospect that doesn't want to risk getting COVID or further injury for a season which or which may not happen.  It makes more sense to start planning on the next step in his career instead of messing around with staying at Minnesota for a few more months.

      @bigredbuster With the unknown process and how many games he might play, this will allow him to hire an agent, start to make money and then work toward the NFL. Given the uncertain safety, I think this move makes sense for someone who has a first round grade already.

      But what about his education? 

  9. It just seems like MLB had no plan in place for when this happens... pretty obvious it was going to happen without a true bubble. Marlins are sitting at 3 games played compared to some teams that are at 9 games played. This will happen again to other teams and MLB just sort of has to sit and wait?
  10. Even if it was Covid related, the way he(Yoenis) handled it shows a lot. I think some of the bottom dwellers should use this to give their prospects a chance since they cant get time in MILB with it being cancelled. Just dont know how baseball will look in September with teams out of it and concerns on health. Will suck for teams fighting for a Playoff spot that the competition is playing a team tanking.
  11. Seems to be the thoughts of many. He was striking out at an alarming rate. Opts out and might try to hope he can get a job next season. Will be interesting to see if players on garbage teams start to opt out at higher rates as the season goes on. 8-20 team might really need to rely on taxi squad players.
  12. He is too busy counting all his money from these ads to see this
  13. I disagree with this. We are going through some of the most traumatic times in US history with a pandemic, civil unrest and so much more. We dont know what is happening with Jaiden behind the scenes or anyone else. Mental health is tough and especially tough when someone has chemical imbalance(not saying Jaiden does) to be able to handle all these things happening. For people who are able to approach things logically because their mental state is clear to try and wrap their heads around someone who doesnt have that is unfair. Toughen up and push your feelings down isnt healthy.
  14. Nothing like waiting to the last minute.
  15. Covid makes things even more difficult. Not having class or anyone on campus, only having football.... Going from being a top dog to being low man.... Normally they have resources/counseling for the kids but one thing I wonder is how that continues during covid. Spielman mentioned he struggled with support. If I am Frost and Co, I am starting to take notice that we need to make sure we have SR teammates or staff checking in on these kids as they cope with other things.
  16. So easy to forget these kids are 18. I went from MN to Lincoln and it took me 2 months to get the home sick feeling. Lasted a week and then I was very happy. I think its hard given the current circumstances. Probably feel even more isolated. I hope Jaiden finds what he is looking for.
  17. He choose to go to school in Texas, so what is to say it wasnt the weather? Also in MN he had family/support system which he claims he didnt have in NE. I have lived in both places and seasonal depression is real in both. Whatever the reasoning was, I hope JD finds a great place to flourish at TCU and most importantly finds happiness.
  18. My favorite way to describe a gopher fan is this: You only find out they are fans if the gophers win... I could sit at my cube and hear nothing all week. When the Huskers won, I heard nothing on Monday. If the Huskers lost to the Gophers, suddenly I would have multiple people over to talk crap. You are not allowed to talk crap if I dont even know you are a Gopher fan in advance. Most Gopher fans are beat down and therefore are fine, but a few of them are box score watchers. Gophers fan base is one of the least passionate ones I know. They have pockets but nothing compared to Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska. The fans showed up at the end last year, but Fleck will leave for a more passionate base.
  19. Depends on how much we grow. The Gophers were not great the first 3 games but they survived which allowed them to build off that. I dont like admitting it, but up to this point I think Fleck is a better coach than Frost. Dont get me wrong, I cant stand Fleck and I think Frost will turn it around but I think the gophers are still ahead of us. I also think Fleck will leave if a big job calls. I dont think Frost will.
  20. Gopher fans are a unique bunch. Most are fine and dont take it too seriously. They have lived in so many other teams shadows that when they get a little bit of success they seem to let it go to their head. The shots at Frost for blocking the transfer seem silly especially when some up here who have connections to the Gophers(Ron Johnson) have been openly recruiting JD for over a year... Gophers are a good team but I find this assumption that they will destroy the Huskers for years to come as laughable. They are the better team now but things can change.
  21. Pittsburg is in Pennsylvania.... *Do I have to add a sarcasm thing here?
  22. Going to be tough to get him out of Alabama but would love to see a big dude like him in the middle anchoring that part. Let some of our DE/OLB go peer-recruit.
