    SBNation: Big Ten football preseason 2025 rankings from Oregon to Purdue

    Not even worth bringing out the Dink-O-Meter on this one.

    Great Reusse column on his lifelong fandom of our Gophers!

    True story. Tommy Mischke first showed up in TC radio and media in a bit with The Round Mound of Sound as a homeless guy living in a dumpster somewhere in Minneapolis. Basically Don did a series of interviews where Mischke explained the benefits of dumpster life to a very straight playing...

    Yep. 1500 was a different animal in those days and Joe and Pat would go at it to produce some very good radio. Also, Don Vogel R.I.P.

    PJ's showing a little banana in the article pic too... Guess we'll have to wait for full banana from the HC...

    2025 Schedule - two Friday night games

    West Bank Lot 86 Parking was dicey on Thursday openers in the early years because it is the main Law Library and other facilities lot on that side, especially when they would not open to football fans until 4 PM. It has gotten better and not expecting any issues for the Thursday and two Friday...

    Great Reusse column on his lifelong fandom of our Gophers!

    Looks like Fulda's finest couldn't quite cut it academically out of the gate. Probably a good thing looking back over his coming 80 years. Good read and explains a lot. He has broken several Dink-O-Meters over the years but ran a new check for this article... Billds will be there that...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    These "quotes" each year stir the pot for about 5 minutes and then we all move on. Same for this year's batch. As for Coach moving on after a 9-win season, sure, it could happen but all available evidence suggests otherwise. Probably the bigger statement is the first one noting Coach building...

    Indiana optimistic

    As an aside Kennesaw State started first as a 2-year Junior College in 1963 that expanded to 4-years in 1975. It was where a lot of North Atlanta HS grads went for 1-2 years to save some $$ living at home before heading off to Athens (UGA) or Hotlanta (GT) or of course anywhere else for land...

    Haven’t been rated this high for awhile

    Although Lindsey lacks the snaps he should know the speed of the game. Brosmer had a ton of experience but I believe it took a while for the speed of the game to slow down for him. Whatever our scheme and balance ends up being, it will have to be a complete offensive team performance that...

    CFN: Minnesota Football Preview 2025: Can PJ Fleck Take Gophers Higher? (It’s the 9th year of the Fleck era. Is there something more than this?)

    There have been two constants over this period. The HC and the AD. Probably a assistant coach or two of course but these are the biggies. Since the AD just signs the checks that leaves us with the HC. It would be great for this to be a break-out year but it hinging on I-O-W-A as usual gives...

    Georgia WR Tyler Williams has committed to MN

    Over my football lifetime I've concluded you covet and mold true wide receivers, which as an archtype are not that many. In college and certainly for middle-tier programs like Minnesota, you take a shot on athletes and hopefully coach them up to have the eyes, mind, and hands mostly work...

    Minnesota quarterback Zach Pyron has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer, @On3sports has learned.

    Stumbled across this article this morning... https://www.al.com/sports/2025/04/south-alabama-signs-former-big-ten-acc-quarterback-through-transfer-portal.html Maybe this will be the right fit... While at it, I asked the google AI a question on South Alabama players to the NFL and came up with...
