    Kirk Ferentz’s take on college’s new era may surprise you ahead of 27th Iowa season

    Read this article on the Iowa QB situation and tell me that Kirk loves the new landscape of college football. https://www.si.com/college/iowa/football/former-iowa-hawkeyes-standout-commit-cash-herrera-lands-with-indiana-hoosier Despite all the things they do well, they have been abysmal at...

    You aren't going to recognize Bielema this year.

    Best of luck to him as those are great goals, but I'd be interested in a follow-up after the season. It's easy to fit that all in during the off season, but once camps starts I'd be interested to see if he can even make time to do cardio once a day compared to twice. Then as the season gets...

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    Right now, the fact that Petersohn left Happy Valley this weekend without committing to PSU was a win for Minny, just like Voss and Bama. I think seeing the energy around the team and having another top MN kid in Voss commit only improves our chances.

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    For Gopher football fans/addicts like everyone on this site in the off-season, Roman's commitment alone made this a great MN sports day. However, the second thing that put a smile on my face was after clicking on the 247 Team rankings and seeing Minny move up to #14, I also had to take a gander...

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    If Roman is committed to being a TE and Drake also ascends to the level of QB many think he can, then I think Roman has the measurables and skillset to be that Tyler Warren type talent for MN. If that were to happen and MN also has recently recruited RB Estrada in the backfield, it could be fun...

    Trason Richardson Commits to Gophers!

    I think everyone has hit on one of his best points in that he is a very willing tackler, which can be a hard thing to teach if that physicality doesn't come naturally. Yet, we saw him several times come up aggressively and challenge the RB one-on-one. I think it can be easier to teach cover...

    SEC Network host says Big Ten football is running a ‘Ponzi scheme’

    Final thought, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that the seedings had no impact. I think the Year 1 seedings led to the number of large blowouts in the first two rounds. The result is that the way Nielsen measures things is the lack of sustained viewership during games does impact the...

    SEC Network host says Big Ten football is running a ‘Ponzi scheme’

    There may have been a drop-off in the CFP Semifinal ratings, but that was largely driven by a flawed seeding process that was driven by a lot of politics in Year 1. However, in year 2 they will be addressing that seeding issue, resulting in much better match-ups in round 2 and likely fewer...

    Gophers 2026 class remains in the top 20 nationally, will it stay there?

    I think you're pretty close. Right now we sit at 209.20 pts in the 247 rankings. Using last year's rankings as a measuring stick. If we didn't add another point, that 209.20 would have put us in 38th place in last year's rankings.

    SEC Network host says Big Ten football is running a ‘Ponzi scheme’

    Peter Burns and guys like Paul Finebaum have largely become jokes as mouthpieces for the SEC and their contract with ESPN. The reason there is so much talking going on with the SEC is that they are desperately trying to generate clicks and drive volume on their platforms. Right now ESPN/ABC is...

    Gabe Weaver Commits to Gophers!

    Weaver is one of those kids that MN going to have to develop/build. He's got the height and I'm assuming he has some speed, but now they're going to need to take the next 2 yrs putting 25-30 lbs of quality muscle on him. Hopefully he then he maintains that speed and he's obviously a smart kid as...

    Summer Splash - Making recruiting waves

    It should be interesting in the next few hours to see if they can get a commit from one of the two TX RBs (Estrada & Rowden). I think they would prefer Estrada, but I'm sure they want to come out of the weekend with at least one of the two. Then, I'm sure Harbaugh & Fleck will be working the...

    Steve Hartman / Malachi Coleman/ Inspirational Turn Around

    Even before stepping on a college campus to play football this kid has figured out what many people never figure out their entire life. No matter what he achieves on the football field I'm sure this kid has a bright future.

    2025 Big Ten win totals: Projecting the finish for every B1G team (MN: 6.5 wins; Pick: Over 6.5 wins)

    Another one of those articles that means nothing this time of year. Last year most had us at an over /under of 5.5 wins, and we ended up at 8. If our kicker didn't give it away at UNC with two terrible kicks, it should have easily been 9 wins.

    Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten football helmets from worst to first (16. Minnesota Golden Gophers)

    Any ranking that would rate that Wisky motion W as high as 8th completely invalidates the entire ranking list itself.

    Angel Luciano commits to Gophers!

    Sori-Marin appears to be doing some excellent recruiting at the LB spot this year with two solid recruits in Dunn & Luciano. If they were to land Petersohn (who I believe is projected at LB), that would have to be one of the best LB classes in a long time.

    Summer Splash - Making recruiting waves

    Well, if history is any indicator, we should have a number of announcements tomorrow afternoon with the wrapping up of Week 1 of Summer Splash. It sounds like there isn't much of a chance that we'll see a commitment from Voss or Petersohn with their other official visits scheduled. However, who...

    Howie Johnson now a 4 star

    It's pretty hard to believe what the adjustment to one player's rating can do for the team's overall ranking for this class. Minn jumped from 27 to 23 (leapfrogging Iowa in the process) and jumped almost an entire point in Avg Player points value...

    Apparently you can go home again - "Scott Frost reportedly receives 5-year, $22.1 million deal to return to UCF"

    I don't know if this was discussed back in December when he apparently was hired, but I guess they released the financial details today. It always amazes me when a coach who uterly failed in his last role as HC in a power conference gets another chance. Maybe it's not the fact that he got...

    Hudson Dunn commits to Gophers!

    Based on the On3 recruiting site, PJ pulled a bit of an upset. Nice get for the Defense, but based on this I don't expect Mich to give up either.
