    Cade Tyson - one of twelve plaintiffs suing NCAA

    I agree unfortunately. Another year of college isn't likely to do a ton for his NBA prospects so while it isn't always about the money in this particular case he would be wise to take the biggest deal he can get. Would love to see him back here but highly doubt we would be the team that could...

    Cade Tyson - one of twelve plaintiffs suing NCAA

    Not surprised to see Tyson connected to this given that he wasn't drafted. Makes sense to try and get another year with the NCAA's new policy that went into effect. Would think there is a great chance they win the case as well. As for Cade's future if he gets anther year.....agree with those...

    Greder: Minnesotans keep becoming Badgers. If they pan out, Niko Medved is on the hook

    I prefer to look at hits and misses in recruiting in relation to guys who actually played for the Gophers as opposed to guys who never did. But even that is tougher with the way guys move around these days. I struggle to call a guy who commits to another school a miss in recruiting....that is...

    Is it a bit hard for Minn fans to stomach ESPN's initial College Football Power Index (FPI) Ranking of 63?

    Yep....rinse and repeat....I don't expect to see positive national projections during the off season and those organizations don't disappoint. It does get frustrating to see the constant over rating of teams like Nebraska or Wisconsin but it isn't surprising.

    Sporting News: Minnesota football projected for pedestrian finish in 2026 Big Ten predictions

    I think what gets tiring as a Gopher fan is we rarely see the optimistic off season projection article. Not always but most of the time they seem to skew towards the worst case scenario as opposed to a positive outlook where the assumption is that some things will go right. It is what it...

    Sporting News: Minnesota football projected for pedestrian finish in 2026 Big Ten predictions

    Rinse and repeat. We have won at least 8 games and 5 conference games in 4 of the last 5 seasons but as per usual the off season projections usually seem to predict low win totals and a step backwards.

    Daniel Kelly: Gophers’ QB Drake Lindsey Leaves Lasting Impression

    100%. College production certainly factors into things but there is also a ton of projection into the player they think you are going to be. It was why a guy like Mafe got drafted as early as he did. He had a decent college career but he got drafted where he did based on what teams...

    Greder: Minnesotans keep becoming Badgers. If they pan out, Niko Medved is on the hook

    It sucks when talented in-state players commit somewhere else and it especially sucks when that somewhere else is Wisconsin but that is just how it goes in recruiting. Madison is a little over 4 hours from the Twin Cities....it isn't like it is some shocker that a school like Wisconsin would...

    Daniel Kelly: Gophers’ QB Drake Lindsey Leaves Lasting Impression

    Yeah, even a second round grade is still really high praise for a guy who was a redshirt freshman and first time starter last year. Drake still has a ton of developing to do and is probably just scratching the surface of the QB he could eventually become. For whatever reason people seem to...

    Soup Can Retired

    Don't sell the local media short. There is probably another ahole ready to take his place.

    Get to Know Men's Basketball's Kyan Evans

    I mean the OP was about Kyan.....can't expect much more beyond that. :)

    MN Daily: With this schedule, there is a strong chance the Gophers’ best-case scenario is going 8-4, but the team has the potential to fall to 7-5

    Your post sums up why I hate pre-season projections where some fans get themselves locked into the idea that there are only a handful of acceptable outcomes when the reality is that things will change and evolve over the course of the season and what seems like a good prediction in June might...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Hopefully he isn't able to win any of his appeals or whatever. Will help get the message across to other players that gambling will be taken seriously and can seriously impact their future in the game. In a time when there are seemingly so few rules it is good that at least one of them seems...

    MN Daily: With this schedule, there is a strong chance the Gophers’ best-case scenario is going 8-4, but the team has the potential to fall to 7-5

    Sure but for the purposes of an article like this you are looking at more realistic results otherwise you just say best case undefeated, worst case 0 victories. I will say this though, I truly believe we are significantly closer to being able to go undefeated then we are to having a team that...
