    Default Opportunity to pick up some Gopher transfers?

    Good grief! What a train wreck. 10 players suspended, and then the entire team today threatening to boycott the Holiday Bowl if the players aren't reinstated. Of course, even if some players did want to come here, I'm not sure it would be worth the drama they would bring. At most, I'd maybe be interested in some bench players who have been unjustly caught up in the team nonsense. Someone who wants to make a clean break from the U of M and just wants to play football while pursuing a decent college education.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    It's a strange situation for sure. Supposedly one of the suspended kids wasn't even in the building where the alleged assault took place, 5 were in the apartment but not directly involved and 4 involved (at least enough to have restraining orders issued at one point), but none had any charges pressed and this whole thing was considered dead for about 3 months before this expulsion news broke.
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    aside from the 10 running the train on a the girl.

    NDSU would welcome any and all of the transfers!

    I picked UM to win in my Bowl Pick Em. Immediately switched to WSU.

    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    if Claeys coaches in '17 I bet it's his last year. It will be such a dumpster fire they'll want to start with someone new.

    This is being handled badly all around.

    I really don't trust anything called "The Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action". It appears that it was consensual, what they did is not for me but is it any worse than some other types of sex that are considered acceptable now? We don't know the whole story of course, but from what I have read the case was pretty flimsy and the video contradicted the accuser's story.

    But it was bad judgement by the players involved as well, and absolutely stupid to do a boycott which has no doubt already caused deep and lasting damage to the program. I can't imagine what the boosters who have their bowl tickets are thinking right now.
