Fleck Year 9 already! Where has the time gone? Wish the Gophers were actually 9-4 last year. There were several chances.

Might pay more? Also, some coaches are burning out on college ball. If you are at Bowling Green you lose most of the good players you find/develop to places like Minnesota.

That's true of almost any coach in any MAC job. But I agree he will be fast-tracked on signs of success compared to his peers, due to his name recognition and NFL connections.

This tweet fits perfectly with today's Twitter. I'm surprised it didn't get retweeted by the owner.

Wouldn't 12 conference games create more "engagement"? I don't want to see non-con evaporate, but a bid for maximum P4 TV and gate money would scuttle all the guarantee games.

Great idea! I wish he could play a season with the other #9 Daniel Jackson and have two guys on the same team with the same name and number. If they weren't different races they could completely screw with the announcers and refs.

It makes sense that the kicker would have the most explosive legs.

The problem for the Gophers is that Senior Day is now Freshman Day, Sophomore Day, Junior Day, and Senior Day since the portal came about. If the last few years are any indication almost every player should be saying their goodbyes to the Barn tonight.

Instead of firing the coach they should look at why Minnesota is considered one of the most difficult jobs. It really shouldn't be as the only major school in a good sized state that produces NBA players and lots of college talent all over the USA in many seasons. If they pay a buyout and a...

Minnesota has finished no worse than T6 in the Big Ten using conference record with overall record as a tiebreaker for 4 of the last 5 full seasons. Only 2023 was not top 6, and even that was a bowl game season. I bet 90% of preseason predictions had the Gophers at 7th or worse through those...

I have no clue how Big Ten basketball players could be that bad at the line. Starters, rotation players, doesn't matter. Anyone who even gets to practice with the team should shoot at least 60% from the line. Sub-50% is struggling for junior high kids.

Why? Is there something I'm missing here? This is the role of assistant position coaches, analysts, and grad assistants. Watch film, run drills in practice, help out in recruiting. Pawola was a student at the U as recently as 2020. He's doing quite well so far in his coaching career for...

Guys to watch a lot of film and run drills and do a lot of the behind the scenes grunt work of coaching?

It's like Minnesota is on there twice, considering the USC throwback is almost identical to the Gophers, just a little redder.

When you put it that way, the 2025 schedule ain't that bad. Considering 5 B1G opponents are projected to miss a bowl, 2 more should be easy wins, and @Cal, Nebraska, and @iowa are all quite winnable. That's 10 games I see where the Gophers would be favored or no worse than a 7 pt dog based on...
