    Ranking the Big Ten's best head coaches going into 2026 (No. 10 — PJ Fleck, Minnesota Golden Gophers)

    I'd go 1. Cignetti, 2. Ferentz 3. Day I'd put the new guys at the bottom...they haven't coach a game yet. I'd put Jedd Fisch in the teens and move PJ up a couple spots. There are some good coaches in the Big Ten.

    Inside the re-making of Fernando Mendoza from shaky starter to 2026 NFL first-rounder

    LOL I don't even know what the argument started as here...I just think Cignetti has been unparalleled in his coaching accomplishment. Not saying Mendoza is not good but those receivers up until Miami...I don't think they ever dropped a ball all season, their contested catches would make any QB...

    Who is the Gopher MVP this year?

    Ya, I too think it's Reynolds...his defense is a big factor in our wins or close games. Then he does his bully ball around the basket and ends with 15 to 20 points. He often sets things up...leads team in assists. High percentage scorer. Tough, steady. And as I look at stats...if Grove can...

    Inside the re-making of Fernando Mendoza from shaky starter to 2026 NFL first-rounder

    Or did they? He did set the school record for passing touchdowns at Indiana with 29. He did play his entire season for Cignetti on a torn ACL and had surgery after the regular season. Rourke did get drafted by the 49ers. The surrounding talent improved for Mendoza. So, I wouldn't exactly say...

    Possible Head Coach Candidates for Northern Illinois (Jerry Kill, Vanderbilt)

    WIKI Jerry is good for about two years. He took Diego to Vanderbilt and now it is probably time for a new challenge. He is around winning teams often...New Mexico St to a bowl game was impressive and Vanderbilt has been better than that. It seems his desire is to die flying the plane. If...

    Shooter: Don’t be surprised if former Orono star Nolan Groves ends up with the Gophers for his sophomore season.

    Not looking at stats...just the eye test...Asuma is definitely growing on me. I think he'll be a very solid Big Ten performer as a junior and a senior. I also, don't think he's a ball handler...you heat em up with defensive pressure...he gets real shaky. But his shot despite my criticism of...

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

    I'm not predicting but we could win 7 or 8 Big Ten games...all things considered that'd be epic!! An I don't believe it...how? how did they do that? are you sure? But, It could happen.

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    Many of the heavy hitters on the 2019 team PJ inherited from Kill/Claeys. Mason was instrumental in getting a stadium on campus but did not have the benefit of playing on campus. Maybe we just spend a little more money and put 5 guys up there.

    Fleck Signs New Contract!

    You want an answer? Okay, pappy, think of it as colors. There's black, and there's white, and in between is mostly gray. That's us. Now gray is a tough color, because it's not as simple as black and white - and for the media, certainly not as interesting. But... it's what we are. Al Pacino...
