    Zach Pyron or Drake Lindsey, who will be the Gophers' QB1 in 2025?

    Link below is to Pyron’s bio from the GT team site. In his true freshman season, he put up some good numbers—including running yardage. RS freshman season he again played in some good games. Looks like he can run and is a decent passer. Has some size. Great, dominant HS career—like Lindsay’s. I...

    Zach Pyron or Drake Lindsey, who will be the Gophers' QB1 in 2025?

    Curious: what are Pyron’s physical limitations? Rated a four star coming out of HS. Size? 6’3”, 220.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    I was thinking Notre Dame also.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    My point is that I think PJ is done looking for transfer QBs in this portal--even though the portal is loaded with possibilities. PJ got one who will probably compete to start in 2025, and will be a good, credible No. 2 if Lindsay's time to start has come.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    Lindsay is going to be a starter for the Gophers someday. But if the Lindsay experiment is a bit early next year, or if he gets injured, I think PJ has just maximized his back-up insurance policy. Pyron is experienced. He has started and performed well in some big games at the P4 level. He might...

    Tally of Starters Opting Out

    NIL money doesn’t come from the team or the school. The bargain: NIL money is a royalty paid by a third party in return for the right to use a player’s name, image and likeness. It is not a wage paid for playing in a college football game.

    Source: Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke entering transfer portal

    Looks like WI QB Braedyn Locke is also in the portal. Must be a new big-time QB transferring into Madison … or maybe the wheels are coming off.

    Invalid fair catch signal

    Right. Not a penalty. Just a "dead ball" call. An invalid fair catch signal, which typically slows down, disorganizes or even momentarily freezes the punt return coverage, simply stops an offending punt reception from being advanced. GHer's shouldn't worry if they can't understand this concept...

    Sounds as though he is in it solely for himself. Not a team guy. Wouldn't doubt would be a toxic presence on a team of otherwise unselfish players.

    Bill Belichick to become the UNC football head coach

    Belicheat won't want players wasting time on attending classes or otherwise participating in normal college activities.

    Gopher Portal Offers 2025

    Malachi Coleman is a freak athlete, and only a freshman, so probably a great get for a developmental team like the Gophers, if he is amenable to development. He's a Nebraska kid, and Nebbie fans were ecstatic that he stayed home. He should've been a Koi Perich type. But he didn't get a lot of...

    Hay is not in the barn….

    Under the current state of affairs in college football, our big cats, Koi and DT, are currently in the barn and simultaneously out of the barn. The barn belongs to a guy named Schrödinger. It’s complicated.

    Hay is not in the barn….

    There is no guarantee that any player currently on the Gopher team will return to play next season. US Constitution forbids involuntary servitude (except as a punishment for crime). Best evidence is what players say themselves—an honest indication of current intent. Keeping my fingers crossed...

    Been a while since the Gophs have had a deep threat at WR. If Lindsay is the future, a guy who can chuck the ball a long ways, would be nice to have a deep threat who he has connected with many times in HS. Key to explosive plays—passing and running—is to stress the D by stretching the field of...

    Quinton Joyner, USC RB who had some really good performances, is in the portal. 90th ranked player in nation coming out of high school—high four star. Shifty and fast. Probably looking to move upstream, to a CFB contender—or maybe upgrade NIL money—but you never know.

    Michigan OL (Gentry) in Portal

    With Ersery, Carroll and Cooper all moving on, might be worth taking a swing at Gentry. Highly-rated player who got beat out while injured. If he is interested and would like to stay in the B1G, he could add some needed experience and maturity to the 2025 OL.

    Duke's Mayo Bowl Predictions

    Interesting to see if Ersery plays, given his injury in the WI game. If Brosmer, Jackson and Spencer all play--Jackson is only possible opt-out in the group, I assume--I like our chances on offense. I assume Carroll, Walley, Robinson and Henderson will all play, for the reason you cite. Is...
