    Sporting News: Minnesota football projected for pedestrian finish in 2026 Big Ten predictions

    My new totally arbitrary goal for gopher football is for us to have a season where we beat Iowa and Wisconsin before the next time we have a season where we lose to both Iowa and Wisconsin.

    USA TODAY: Big Ten football coach rankings start with Curt Cignetti, Ryan Day https://share.google/Vhq4z5OW8WtuBWs8f

    Over the last four years, PJ'S B1G winning percentage is exactly .500, and you have to go back 5 years to find a season where he finished better than one game over .500 (5-4). I think it's fair to make an argument that consistency and the 2019 high water mark warrant a higher ranking, but being...

    NCAA votes away archaic FCS rule, setting up massive opportunities for future schools

    Ive never understood the rule (or the delay on postseason eligibility in other sports when moving up to D1). If a school that moves up is good earn to earn a postseason berth, what is the benefit of letting them play? Why was the rule there in the first place?

    Yahoo Sports: Entering Year10 of PJ Fleck, what have a we loved (or hated)?

    Seems like a pretty fair list. When I saw the title of the thread,the first thing that jumped to my mind was loving how we play against Wisconsin and hating how we play against Iowa.

    Shama: Indiana Football Success Hangs Over Gopher Program

    Multiple things can be true at the same time. 1)if we hired a coach as good as Cignetti, we could have a similar experience as Indiana 2) PJ has done well here and we have been reasonably successful during his tenure 3) evaluating coaches is hard, if we decided to move on from PJ to chase...

    Who is your "I wish we played them every year," opponent for the Gophers?

    We should play Iowa. It was disappointing we decided to sit that game out last season.

    Gopher Football Parking Updates, Per the U

    If im understanding the problem right, it is fair to complain about the U taking your money, not providing the spot you paid for, and not refunding your money, even if the reason for the spot unavailability is reasonable. Everyone knows airlines overbooks their flights. That means sometimes...

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    When my team finds itself in a position to clinch a post season berth by simply preserving a 6-1 lead heading into the ninth at home, Im not concerned with the equities of the tiebreaker criteria.

    Gopher Football Parking Updates, Per the U

    Thats brutal. I always assumed that a spot in the ramp is included when you buy a spot in the ramp. Guess I was wrong. Sounds like the Seinfeld rental car bit. "We have the reservation, we just dont have a car." "But the reservation keeps the car here, thats why we have the reservation."

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    Maybe it will be like the 2020 football season, where the league changes the rules once it realizes it doesn't like the outcome under the rules the season started with.

    Executives are inching closer to agreement to expand NCAA tournament to 76 teams with a 12-game “opening round” played at two sites starting in 26-27

    I think thats what you call a post hac justification. Those numbers may be true, but they are also is not the reason.

    RandBall: As transfer portals close, Gophers basketball is thriving

    I like what ive seen so far this off-season, though when all is said and done, ill evaluate Medved by whether and how much his team wins, not whether I am impressed with his recruiting. Players from the bench of elite teams intrigue me. If we get the right ones, they have three things going for...
