    STrib: Can Gophers get first win against ranked team under Ben Johnson? Purdue stands in the way.

    Normally I would agree with the betting sentiment. But the Gophers are currently BY FAR the worst cover team in the country. I'd bet a lot of money on Purdue tonight.

    With non-conference season behind us, the Gophers are?…

    ....in for one of the least fun conference seasons of all time. With a team that is full of players who just got here and the fans have no investment in and a coach who is 99.99999% getting fired. It's one thing to be bad, it's another to be totally and completely irrelevant, which is where...

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    Watching Loyola, Drew Valentine would be another guy high on my list. Maybe he's waiting for Izzo to retire.

    Logan Loya commits

    Maybe not the right place to ask but did anyone have an idea of where we are with scholarships/roster spots? Feels like we needed to lose a lot of guys (mostly walkons I get that) with the new roster rules, and have added quite a bit. Back to the topic, I like Loya, feels like he slots into...

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    This is what I want. Ok fine we might not get enough elite talent to beat top 10 teams, but literally never losing to a sub 100 team would be awesome

    A question Coyle/the new coach must answer

    I could not agree more on this. The U has been in my view VASTLY over concerned about the sports/education balance and how one plays off the other. I totally get it, the U is an academic institution, that's awesome, all in, but that doesn't mean sports can't play a big role in that. This...

    Indifferent to Indiana, but.....

    This is not everyone I understand, but I need to wager on these games to be really invested. I put my biggest bet if the year on the ND moneyline, I hope they blow out ol Cig so I can stop hearing about him being this all time great coach. I also put $10 on every underdog in non playoff bowl...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    Which is what I felt like on my posts ha. I also am not sure why service academy offenses are seen as bad? Navy and Army were 2 of the top ohh 30ish teams this year and had very effective offenses. To me at the end of the day that can be a very effective tool against the OSU/Oregon of the world...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    I apologize for all comments. We will be the best team in the country next year. It will be unfair how we have the best two quarterbacks in the country. We will be the first team in history to have all 4 Heisman finalists. Javon Tracy will be compared to Randy Moss. #CONVICTION 🤣 observations...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    I think your takes are all dumb too, let's call it even 🤣. Never once did I say this was a negative, we are screwed, dumb, etc move. I was making an observation that we added 3 RB recently who appear to be ready to produce guys. Along with a stud RB coming back logic dictates we are going to be...

    Cole Cabana Commit to Minnesota

    This feels like another year of "well we don't love the QB/WR room so we're going to be 4th in the country in runs per game behind the service academies". Added 3 rb to Taylor plus a blocking TE. We might be very boring next year. Not saying we can't be successful but not a lot of 48-45 games.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    I actually like Pyron more than most. Showed some nice flashes at GT behind a good QB in King. Yes I would've preferred a known quantity like Brosmer but I like that we have a PJF guy and now a backup/competition that has at least played at a P4 level.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    So you must not know the history here. Kevin Young is from Utah, best friends with billionaire Jazz owner/BYU grad Ryan Smith, and has a personal relationship with Danny Ainge. This wasn't a coaching search, this was Ainge and Smith telling the school, hey we have the money, this is our coach...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I said this in the other thread but we need to fire him and bring in an established coach as an interim just to stabilize things. Beilein, Monson (I know I know but he's been a long time coach) Jarod haase Stanford coach the last few years. They're are names out there just for a few months...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I didn't say this but to follow up, I meant just for the rest of this year with Beilien. If anything just to make us look respectable on the floor and give us some credibility. I don't want him long term.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I know the odds of this are like 0.000001%. But honestly just put a call into Beilien, I know mid season coaching moves aren't a thing on college but he's sitting on BTN now, maybe we could talk him into a few months and see what happens.

    Alabama AD to reevaluate nonconference slate after CFP picks

    So your thought is to just use recruiting rankings and don't even play the games? If you took away the media/recruiting rankings and put bama's team in Illinois jerseys, there wouldn't be 1 person complaining about this team not being in. And that's the issue.

    Final Field of 12 projection (what I think committee will do & what I would do)

    I also agree with your take, and if they put in Bama over SMU I would absolutely start to get a plan for forfeiting championship games. If you get penalized for losing an extra game by 3 on a 56yd FG then there is 0 reason to risk playing that game ever again.

    The future of championship games is in jeopardy - Yahoo Sports

    I think we just need to keep expanding. Let's make it 128 teams. That way they can play until March 1st then that can roll right into the 256 team basketball tournament! Also with this expanded field we will have auto bids in the final 8 for Bama OSU UGA ND, it's not their fault if they lose...
