    The ordeal of no divisions

    Agree 18 is tough for scheduling. I’m guessing they’ll use a “pods” scenario once they get to 20+ and still put the top 2 teams in CCG. Everyone would play all the teams in their pod and one other, plus 1 or 2 more conf games. I’d actually love an unscheduled opponent the last week of the...

    Gophers Open -2.5 vs Cal Bears

    Yup, same line on Draftkings with an O/U of 44.5. So roughly 24 - 21 type game. 68% of ML bets on MN, but 78% of spread bets on Cal. 83% of O/U bets on the under so that may have moved already from a higher number.

    Week 2 Other Games Thread

    Thank you for posting this! I watched it live yesterday and it was probably the weirdest play I’ve ever seen in my life. The refs threw a flag for “illegal kicking” (which I don’t think I’ve ever seen — and couldn’t explain), but the receiving team was able to decline that because they returned...

    IMO, Morgan is WAAAAY better than Gardner was last week…and many other color commentators I’ve heard in recent years.

    Week One: Offensive Line

    For the first game of the season (and with a new starter at EVERY position), I thought the OL played very well. I’d go solid B. I noticed them picking up multiple complex twists/stunts (unlike early in past seasons), and Lindsey was frequently getting to his 3rd or 4th read (also impressive...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers 1-0 After 23-10 Win Over Buffalo

    Buffalo, Miami OH, and Ohio are pretty much the consensus top 3 picks in the MAC. Ohio put up 31 on Rutgers and lost by 3. Miami was down 3-0 at half and 10-0 after 3 quarters to Wisconsin, but they did get statistically battered. MN outgained Buffalo by about 300 yards and about 20 more...

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yup. It’s unfortunate they’re only up 7, but they’re obviously dominating the game in every facet. KEY errors though. Two bad drops, the failed 4th down with a foot to go, the fluke INT. One lackluster drive by the D where Buffalo schemed a couple easy throws and popped a run. I predict a 27 -...

    Dude they need to institute the NFL replay system in college. I’m all for getting it right, but the number of stoppages is just maddening. We’re an hour 20 into this game and only halfway through the 2nd quarter.

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yeah it’s looking like a 21 - 0, 24 - 3 type game. Which would be fine by me.

    Not a good look by Geers there yikes. Probably looked great in practice, but he was WAY too high. Wonder why a 230 lb QB wouldn’t run that? Oh well, you learn a lot in these first couple games. Put that one away and either let Lindsey take it or give it to Taylor.

    Who will have a better season as a Year 1 MN QB1? Lindsey or McCarthy?

    What an interesting question. JJ will have way more weapons and play in a much more aggressive, creative scheme, so I'd lean his way. I honestly have no idea what to expect from Lindsey. I think he'll be quite solid, and the hype train of the past 7 - 10 days has me excited, but I've been...

    Predict the Record Thread?

    Love how you did this because I'm torn between 7-5 and 8-4 :-) Here's mine: 10%: 6-6 or worse 30%: 7-5 35%: 8-4 15%: 9-3 10%: 10-2 or better I'm worried about OL gelling, new WR's learning the system, and the unproven talent at CB, LB, and QB. BUT the insane talent at RB, DL, and S (along...
