A game where we lose on the road to a Power 4 bowl team? Every team in the country save a small handful has a game like that every year.

Teams change from year to year obviously, but Minnesota at home vs. MSU at the end of last season would have been about a 7-point favorite. Unless MSU got a bunch of stud recruits and transfers I'm not aware of, we should be favored by at least a TD if not more.

If you're giving me MN -12, I will bet any amount of money you wish on the Gophers to cover. Name your max.

Let me answer your question with another question - would UCLA ever play a road game at UC Riverside? There's your answer. St. Thomas is beneath us, and playing a true road game implies that there's some level of parity.

Scheduling a low-major school is the opposite of ultra-competitive.

I agree, I enjoy the Thursday opener. I just wish they would consistently schedule a credible opponent. The game is so much more enjoyable when the outcome is in doubt. We could beat Eastern Illinois by 120 if we wanted to.

I was going to say the same thing as pk2. They announced four start times, not five.

I'm waiting for the day when, whenever a Gophers coaching job opens up in any sport, the first name thrown out is NOT someone whose sole qualification is that they attended the U. I'm sure hell will freeze over first.

LOL - towards is 100% a real, actual word.

John Harbaugh's deal with the Giants pays him $20M per over 5 years.

Well, that's neat - and completely irrelevant, given that Winter committed to the badgers 18 months after Pitino left Minnesota.

Ibrahim coached one season at Kent St. (2025). Limegrover coached there 2 seasons (2023 and 2024) and was fired along with the rest of Kenni Burns' staff after the 2024 season. Their tenures did not overlap.

He is, 100%. I clocked that a long time ago as well. He just cannot keep his weird, frequent posting style and terrible takes off this board. This is at least his 4th user name, probably several more.

Dear Lord, you are fully delusional. Hint: coaching Saturday morning Pee Wee football is not as difficult as coaching in the Big Ten.

I don't want Danny Collins as our DC because I think he sucks and we could do much, much better if P.J. would ever hire someone outside his good ol' boy network. The facts that he didn't play and is a "midget" are completely immaterial. P.J. was a much better player than Nick Saban, and also...
