    Northwestern favored by 5.5

    Northwestern and Michigan both counted their game last week as a Northwestern home game so I don't believe it is considered a neutral site game probably due to the stadium situation at Northwestern right now.

    Gophers Fleck on closing the gap against top teams: "...Just because you want that doesn't mean that's going to happen."

    Yeah, Indiana's run these last two years has been impressive but they are a long way from being a permanent resident of that top tier that includes teams like Ohio State.

    Some boosters with really deep pockets willing to spend a crap ton of money to let the coaches go out and outbid other schools for top end talent. And to be willing to do that year after year.....

    What is Niko building?

    It's a lot of the usual suspects but sad there is already grumbling 4 games into his first season. I get that the turnaround window has gotten insanely short in college athletics but after 4 games is ridiculous.

    Improving free throws

    Johnson seemed to recruit a some bad free throw shooters (Fox, Payne)....in the case of the current team I think some of it is small sample size and a brutal game at the line for a couple guys against Green Bay. Willis shot 72% from the line last year. Currently sitting at 36% but have to...

    UNC football players piling up speeding and reckless driving charges

    I think they saw Colorado and thought Belichick would have a similar draw to Deion and that has not been the case at all. Bill Belichick at 73, with his personality, coaching college football made no sense and has very unsurprisingly been a cluster since he arrived. Bill was able to do what he...

    If the blue bloods left for a "super league", who would be hurt more, them or the also-rans like us?

    How dare you not include Nebraska with the blue bloods.... As a fan of the Gophers a conference like that would be awesome. Could even expand it a little to include teams like Iowa State and Kansas State. Would be extremely competitive. In terms of the question in the thread, it would be bad...

    IF we finish with only 6 wins....

    There are very few bowl games left in the CFP era that move the needle for the casual fan. Bowls are basically just a way to fill programing over the holidays. Getting those extra practices is great because it gives coaches a chance to really focus on younger players and figure out where the...

    UNC football players piling up speeding and reckless driving charges

    Honestly in this case it really has very little to do with on the field results. This has clearly been a bad fit for both UNC and Belichick. Not sure if it will drag out for a few years but feels like both the school and the coach are looking for a good off ramp to what is not a good situation...

    UNC football players piling up speeding and reckless driving charges

    All part of Bill's master plan.....driving like Georgia players will eventually lead to playing like Georgia players....

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Good move for Va Tech to get it done now. Might be able to flip some of the remaining PSU commits before signing day and gives Franklin a chance to try and get some things done before the early signing window. Will also give him a chance to be ready to go when the portal feeding frenzy begins.

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Probably took a look at the open jobs and figured they were better off giving Locksley another year. Gotta think his seat will be very warm heading into next year, especially if they don't win out and make a bowl this year (Mich and MSU left).

    All Things Class of 2026 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread (Offers, Videos, Tweets, Rankings and More)

    Offer list is a bit odd but I'm sure he is not an unkonwn to schools like Indiana and Notre Dame. Maybe just wants to get out of state and made it clear he wasn't interested in being recruited by them.....who knows.

    2025 Bowl Projection Tracker

    Sports bowl against the MAC would be a bummer. Any of the others against a Power 4 team sound good to me.

    2025 Minnesota High School Football Thread

    Moorhead won the regular season matchup 51-44 in mid October. Will be interesting to see if we get a similar shootout in the title game. Neither of these teams seem overly stout on the defensive end but can both clearly put up points in bunches.
