    247 predicts Gophers will go 1-8 and finish 17th in Big Ten

    1-8 in Big is a bit rough. OTOH pinning your hopes on a QB from a second tier league where his stats were inflated because his team was behind a lot is a leap of faith. 6-6 record will be a good outcome in 2024

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    Chip Kelly rumored to be taking 3 of his top players to Ohio State. The rich get richer. Fleck might consider hanging around Columbus. OSU is going to have some quality cast offs soon.

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    Has anyone considered a completely different take? Like maybe Fleck’s agent is stirring the pot about UCLA’s interest. One way to get your client a raise and new contract from Minnesota after a 5-7 record.

    2024 Record prediction

    So I was off for 2023. I predicted a tie for first in the west at 8-4. 2024- 7-5 is a realistic goal.

    Saturday Tradition: Our way to early 2024 Big Ten Power Rankings (16. Minnesota)

    Not believing it’s a jump ball. Nebraska and Wisconsin taking big swings with coaches, recruits and players. Nebraska to sign Halvorsen as an OC. NW is a wild card. Bruins, Gophers, Hoosiers, Boilermakers, Terps, Hawkeyes, Illini, in a dog fight to breakout of the bottom tier. Does anybody think...

    tOSU signs 5, 5 stars

    Interesting, McCord left OSU for the portal after a 11-1 year. In an interview he gave 2 reasons. Not enough NIL money and no guarantee that would start next year. It will be interesting to see how he will do without Harrison, Egbuka. , and Stover. Not great reasons. I guess Syracuse bought...

    tOSU signs 5, 5 stars

    Alabama has 3, Georgia 4. Not exactly parity in the Big. Nebraska has 1. Rest of the Big-0. OSU’s avg is 92.99 - Disparity in talent is not necessarily a good thing - long term

    Kyle MCord to Nebraska?

    Update from today. Nebraska a firm no. Your wish is granted.

    Downside of bargain hunting in the portal

    Yep. You can also get a waiver for a variety of reasons. The transfer portal and NIL are making it even harder for Minnesota to compete

    Downside of bargain hunting in the portal

    Fleck and his minions seem to be working hard to find those diamond in the rough bargains in the portal . Imagine Fleck and staff sitting in a room with Macklemore blaring out Thrift Shop 24/7 . Downside is that if you get some gems they are back in the portal the next year, lured away by NIL...

    Kyle MCord to Nebraska?

    Word out today is a heavy lean to Nebraska. UGH!Competing in the new Big I guess. Meanwhile, the sunshine pumpers in Minneapolis are ecstatic about d2 qb transfer from a low level league and a bad team. Probably the same people who thought AK was the next coming

    Kyle MCord to Nebraska?

    Word out of Columbus is that McCord has narrowed his transfer search to 8 schools. He is rumored to be leaning towards Nebraska. Hopefully he goes somewhere else. Minnesota not on his list. Probably scared off by competition with that qb from New Hampshire.

    Bucknell transfer CB Ethan Robinson sets official visit with Gophers

    Bucknell plays in the Patriot Athletic League. Georgetown put 50pts on them. Georgetown? They have football? Anyone can make a highlight tape. Covering a guy who runs a 5.1 40 is different than covering a Big receiver.. we might want to hold our enthusiasm on this one.

    Max Brosmer is the QB this program needed | Story

    Good idea getting a competent QB. Color me a little skeptical when he honed his skills beating powerhouses like Stonehill and SUNY Stoneybrook. He did beat Maine. Always good when you can hand it to a bunch of Mainiacs. That experience should help against Wisconsin.

    GOPHERS IN QUICK LANE BOWL VS BOWLING GREEN

    Were you on drugs? Dirtiest, most crime ridden city in the country. Had my car stolen there while on business. Was a company car so no biggie, right? Wrong . Insurance company cancelled me when I filed a claim for my new set of golf clubs that were in the trunk. If you want to have a good time...
