From Ryan Burns' writeup, linked in his post: 2024 was a breakout season for Tracy as he went from catching 22 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2023 to elevating himself into one of the best receivers in the Mid-American Conference and earning a first-team...

4 TDs. Breaks tackles. Speed. TD reception to boot...

It's a bonus for the Gophers that we now have a QB on the roster who has a bit more experience, and has even made some starts against quality competition. Ryan Burns says the staff loves Lindsey's potential, but adding Pyron is a very nice hedge. Plus, we need a viable #2 in case of injury.

I found this, via my patented, famous (and exhaustive) 5 minutes of online research method. He scores 4 TDs, including a pass reception score. Speed plus tackle-breaking ability. I'm excited about this addition:

There is nothing (and I mean NOTHING) that equals 5 minutes of exhaustive on line research! Instant expertise, at your command.

It's that all-time favorite sports talk topic: The QB controversy!!!!! If only Fleck had a clue, he'd pick the right one!

Well, Jesus... if they don't know if he throws a tight spiral why the HELL did they offer him a spot on the team?!? INCOMPETENCE!

It's probably not as easy a decision for Cody as it is for Aireontae Ersery. Cody's a linebacker, and he has a history of injury. Aireontae is an offensive tackle and he's been on the NFL radar almost from the beginning. Where would you guess each of them would be drafted? I'd say Ersery will...

Arm talent. A Big Arm. Whatever.

Of course, the biggest question of all is (drum roll)... Does he have... ... a Big Arm... to throw The Deep Ball? It's really all that matters!

How does a player like Cody evaluate his chances in the next NFL draft? Does he rely on, say, an agent to gather intelligence? Predicting the NFL draft is always a bit of a guessing game.

After a long and very thorough 5 minute search on YouTube, I found these two videos: one vs. (ironically) Virginia Tech, the other vs. Notre Dame. He makes some nice throws, and appears to have some running ability. Announcers comment favorably on his competitive nature. I like him.

Interesting. Their non conference schedule was... — Western Kentucky — South Florida — Wisconsin — Mercer https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42860048/alabama-ad-re-evaluate-nonconference-slate-cfp-picks

I think he knows that. That's probably why the one head-to-head he didn't mention was Minnesota beating Illinois. And Illinois is the only ranked team in the grouping.

"WISCONSIN FOOTBALL AS I KNOW IT IS DEAD"

You're right. Any of those timeframes would be an interesting comparison. If you're asking me to pick a timeframe, I'd say that it's mostly about the Fleck era. He's been Minnesota's coach of record for 8 seasons now, and will probably be the Gopher coach for the foreseeable future. Since...

So is it total number of fans in the stands, then, rather than consecutive sellouts? If so, I guess our football program is... what? 'Permanently handicapped', perhaps, by the smaller seating capacity of our stadium? So many ways to determine the trajectory of a football program. Confusing...

So — to take your line of reasoning a bit farther — would you therefore rate Nebraska as one of the best football programs in the B1G? They have had a boatload of consecutive sellout crowds after all.

1-1. I was 5 years old in 1961, and six years old in 1962. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_bowl_games

I'm not sure if you're saying Iowa's offense is improved, or claiming they are actually fairly good. Their running game is based on the sheer excellence and talent of one single stud player, not on any coaching philosophy or schematic improvement. Their new offensive coordinator isn't exactly...
