    Langton Reynolds injury

    Bummer....this team just can't afford injuries to key pieces when already so short handed. Oh well, hopefully they can figure out a way to beat Oregon but it won't be easy.

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    The incompetence Kill followed was not even close to what Mason followed.....it just wasn't. Mason took over a program that had been a laughingstock of college football for decades before he got there. Kill just had to overcome one terrible hire and short dip before returning the program...

    Shooter: Don’t be surprised if former Orono star Nolan Groves ends up with the Gophers for his sophomore season.

    Fully agree people over play the one of us angle when it comes to players, especially in basketball. That said, I wouldn't write him off for not being able to see the floor on a good team in a good conference (Big 12 basketball is not the same as Big 12 football when comparing it to the Big...

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    I posted my reasoning for Mason in the 4th spot in the post above. But yes, Fleck is better in basically all statistical categories and I would have no issue with him being in the 4th spot. The only thing I will quibble with is the state of the program that each guy inherited. Fleck inherited...

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    I think many of us have forgotten the complete joke this program had become prior to Mason taking over. Losing was expected and the team was a conference bottom feeder. Mason came in and brought the program from the cellar to respectability. He had his ceiling and could never push it to the...

    Mount Rushmore of gopher coaches

    Bierman and Warmath are slam dunks because they won National Championships Willimas deserves a spot even though most of us know very little about him. 22 years at the school and a lot of wins back in the first part of the 1900s. 4th spot right now to me goes to Mason. Program was in complete...

    Seems fair......bet the lawsuit has already been filed.

    The most underrated quarterback in each college football conference (Big Ten: Drake Lindsey, MN)

    No clue on the brace but on the rest so much of what you mentioned comes with experience. As the game slows down for him he will be able to see things better and that will hopefully help his mobility some. Guessing Drake will put a lot of effort in during the off season to do what he can to...

    Official 2027 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Yeah, pretty crazy to get drafted to the NFL without playing football in college but was a different time with a lot more rounds.

    Chambliss Denied Sixth Year of Eligibility

    It is a valid question in terms of football and men's basketball. Feels like anytime the NCAA tries to step in and do anything to curtail the stupidity it just gets shot down in court. I'm sure this latest ruling will set off a wave of players trying to get medical redshirts after the fact for...

    The most underrated quarterback in each college football conference (Big Ten: Drake Lindsey, MN)

    Yeah, I would think they will work on his mobility, maybe try and cut a little weight, work on quickness. Running will likely never be a big part of his game but he can probably get better at moving in the pocket and taking off when the situation allows for it. Just have to be able to run...

    Athlon roster rankings by recruiting

    Nebraska under Frost would always pull really highly rated recruiting classes but it never translated to the field. Getting highly rated athletes is great but you also have to be able to make the pieces all work together. Otherwise you just have a team that looks great getting off the bus but...

    Fleck Signs New Contract!

    Nothing about the terms in there. Assume it is in line with what they have done after most seasons.

    Gophers QB comitt transfering high schools

    Moving the goal posts from what? I think they have done a solid job recruiting the QB position and not having to rely on the transfer portal the way a lot of teams have to. Tanner Morgan was one of the best QBs ever at the University of Minnesota (I get that isn't a high bar but he still was)...

    Gophers QB comitt transfering high schools

    Thought it could be interesting debate - looking at leading passer from their years, which coach had the best collection of QBs Wacker - Fleetwood, Schade, Sauter Mason - Sauter, Cockerham, Cole, Abdul-Khaliq, Cupito Brewster - Weber Kill/Claeys - Gray, Nelson, Leidner Fleck - Rhoda, Morgan...
