I'm not surprised by a low pre-season ranking to the extent it is heavily based on last year's statistical performance. Gophers had a decent record last year (7-5 regular season), but simply weren't a good team. Our offense was one of the very worst in the B1G. Luckily we had 7 home games...

💩4🧠s. Has the Gophers coming in 6th in the old Big West, ahead of only Purdue (barely). Gophers have to prove it every year. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The Gophers have two projected All Americans, a mature star RB and experienced quality starters at many positions, including QB. In a better spot than last year, I believe. This makes me think an 8 win regular season is a reasonable hope. The Mississippi State and Iowa games, both early in the...

10% maybe? Ferentz has a hex on PJ, and PJ has a hex of Fickell, regardless of venue.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day …

On the list is Jerry Kaminski, who plays for the North Dakota Fighting Hawks up in Grand Forks. Kind of cool.

I'm OK with Bielema at his current rank. The rest? All should be behind PJ.

Here’s what the writer missed: QB Drake Lindsay. Duh. Potential breakout players: Nathan Roy; Jalen Smith; Karter Menz; John Nestor; Kerry Brown. Maybe others? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-post-spring-intel-breakout-players-qb-battles/

One pundit (Tom Fornelli) recently published his ranking of B1G QBs for the upcoming 2026 season. He had Drake Lindsay at 13th, behind several senior year QBs and the Illini and Badgers' transfer QBs. I really like Lindsay. I think he stays for two more seasons (for maturity and experience) and...

Interesting list; three of the top 10 from Indiana. Hell has frozen over.

Odd recruiting side benefit to having UST go Division I? Some parents get to two-fer.

All of Iowa's LB commits are rated lower than Tate.

All rated lower than Tate. Maybe they signed the guys they could get after Tate said no ...

If you watched some Indiana games, you probably remember their no. 3 receiver, Charlie Becker, who really came into his own as the season progressed. Dominant near the season's end in big games. He is 6'4", 205 and very fast--and won contested balls more often than not. Mikklesen might have that...

A big WR who also can block?
