    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    To the argument that there are a lot of fees that are more egregious than this, the thing that sticks to me it that the U at its core is an academic institution, not an athletic institution. Students are being asked to pony up $200 for athletes who aren't furthering the students' education or...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    On principle I think it's an awful decision. Tuition already covers fees related to the athletic department, adding costs to pay athletes that many (probably a plurality) of these students will never go to watch looks dirty. The excuse of "yeah, well other schools are doing it" rings hollow. And...

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    Pretty sure an enormous amount of NIL money would be directed towards him if he does well. We're not accustomed to having an elite player at qb, I imagine we'd be pulling out all the stops to keep him here

    P.J. Fleck gets a new contract extension—pending approval from Board of Regents—keeping him under contract until 2030.

    So.... How close is he to his peers wage wise? How big is the salary difference between him and the #8 or #9 guy?

    Top 10 Big Ten Coaches in 2025 (9. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    Having Moore, Rhule, and Riley above Fleck is hilarious and shows what a dink the author is. 2023 also sucked, but I wouldn't put it in the tier of "disastrous." If we've achieved so much relevance that we can consider a 6 win year disastrous, I think we've made it, fellas.

    Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

    Definitely looks terrifying on paper. O'Connell has a track record of making historically bad/over their head qbs look mediocre at worst, though. I could see Howell being Brad Johnson levels of serviceable if he had to jump in. Helps to have one of the better wr duos in the league running...

    Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

    Ditto. I wish him nothing until we play each other, to which I will wish him to have three dropped passes, 2 catches for 6 yards, and half a dozen blown blocks leading to TFLs! You're officially in-conference competition until you're not anymore, kid. Maroon and Gold til the day I die, no one...

    Every Big Ten team's best, worst case scenario in 2025: USC plays for league title? A three-loss Penn State?

    I could fathom the worst case scenario happening. I don't think it will, but if the line sucks and we can't run, forcing Drake to shoulder the offense will not be ideal. And even if the defense plays like rockstars, time of possession will kill them as the season goes on if we're constantly...

    Sacramento State is hiring Tim Brewster as senior associate head coach.

    I'll always appreciate the guy, he thought he could do it and he couldn't. I don't believe for one second he was fraudulent at any point like a lot of people seem to think, he was just in over his head. And, without Brew we don't get Kill, and without Kill we don't end up in a situation where...

    Different Vibe

    It's a combination of all of these takes that y'all have posted. Fleck is the common denominator but the guy has been doing ALL of the right things in the intangibles and behind the scenes departments

    You aren't going to recognize Bielema this year.

    The Ozempic revolution continues for better or worse

    Trason Richardson Commits to Gophers!

    This staff has a nose for safeties and defensive backs, generally

    What's Maverick Baranowski's ceiling?

    Probably popcorn if I had to guess

    Gophers 2026 class remains in the top 20 nationally, will it stay there?

    It took you this long to figure it out? It's not like we used to be Ohio State 10 years ago and we're in a lull we need to climb out of, we've had just about every barrier to success thrown in our way in terms of academic expectations and a university who has put athletics on the backburner for...
