    ESPN: College Football Future Power Rankings through 2027 (28. Minnesota)

    I agree but my expectations are a little lower for the OL I’ll take average B10 level of play there which will still be a major upgrade. Even there I think we have a good/great year we just can’t be ranked in the 100’s any longer for run yards per game.

    Shama: Indiana Football Success Hangs Over Gopher Program

    No, I don’t think so for those of us say right around 60 years old who used to tongue-in-cheek say that we’d like to get to the Rose Bowl once before we die that’s now become a reality. I get that the Rose Bowl is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow anymore with the playoff system, but...

    Shama: Indiana Football Success Hangs Over Gopher Program

    Sure, but he’s also a very good coach. He had the opportunity and ran away with it.

    Gophers quarterback Drake Lindsey apologizes for offseason arrest: “I’ve certainly grown a lot from them and learned a lot.”

    Hard to tell who the leaders are on PJ’s teams. He anoints guys more than most coaches IMO but the team responds/goes to the best of its own drummer and may gravitate to non anointed ones. Ya hope your QB naturally is a leader but that’s not always the case.

    Coyle Receives Two-Year Contract Extension

    LOL. I suppose he can be a role model for all folks who can’t put two cogent sentences together that there is hope for them, regardless.

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    I suppose a guy’s gotta appreciate your sunny outlook on things, but Iowa had us 31 to nothing at the half last year and could’ve beat us 60 to nothing if Ferentz hadn’t been completely bored in the second half. PJ has a long way to go yet on game day the other stuff is a nice to have but...

    The Gophers haven't been ranked in the AP since 2022?!

    It certainly feels that way to me about half of our games even the ones that we win are so ugly. A lot of positives with the program but a good percentage of the time game day is not included in that.

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    OK Penn State you got me. Michigan was seventh in the conference that year in USC 10th. Neither are power programs right now although Michigan should turn around quickly.

    Big Ten Coaches talk anonymously about other teams.

    I think the upper echelon conference coaches think PJ is harmless. When was the last time we even made any of them slightly nervous other than maybe Michigan which cratered post Harbaugh some. He wins his fair share against the rest of the conference and has absolutely no answer or fight in him...

    Your favorite bits of Gopher lore or obscure details

    Maroney’s first long TD run as a freshman in the dome stunned the crowd and it’s something I will always remember.

    Newcomers/younger players who caught my eye (spring game)

    Our rushing offense has ranked 130, 121 and 130 the past three years. Our OL has left something to be desired; although our play designer/caller is JV.
