    Shooter: The University of Minnesota’s $166 million Athletes Village, which opened five years ago, still owes some $30 million.

    I am sick of reading the same crap every year about how we still owe money on the Athletic Village. Does Walters seriously have nothing else to write about? I remember before the internet one would read Walters and Hartman for all things recruiting or any sports buzz that was going on. Now...

    SI: How have Gophers recruiting classes panned out under PJ Fleck?

    This article is all about who was recruited and who popped as a potential NFL candidate. It does not talk about overall production in terms of wins/losses and quality depth that was built. Seems like a few extra hours of research would have made this article really something worth reading. PJ...

    Nebraska Week 1 Simulation

    This is why Artificial Intelligence has flaws. As long as you have biased people giving the "intelligence" to the AI, the AI will have illogical thinking. Creating AI that can distinguish between crap in and what truly makes sense is not a current reality. Hence why Neb beat MN. Remember...

    Gophers #12 on 247 2024 Team Recruiting with 19 Guys

    Bottom line, regardless of ranking, we are still out recruiting bigger offers than what we have in the past. Typically, even in a PJ class, we have a handful of recruits with none or only one other solid P5 offer. This year I think every recruit has multiple solid P5 offers, with a few with...

    CBS: Top transfers for Big Ten teams (Minnesota WR Elijah Spencer)

    I think our defense is a better now than what we had in 2019. I love what we had in 2019 with Winfield and Coughlin, but as a whole unit we are better. This will give Fleck additional confidence in going for more passes and big plays, that what he otherwise might. If the defense plays as...

    Gophers #12 on 247 2024 Team Recruiting with 19 Guys

    We will get a bump with a few of the players. I can't remember to many of our recruits from last year being offered by Penn State or teams in that category. My guess we will end up with 2-4 four star recruits in the end and a class in the mid-30's.

    Gophers 2024 and 2025 Big Ten opponents announced.

    Personally I like the way the schedule plays out. 2024 will be tough, but if we build some momentum this year we should be laser focused for 2025. I really like our chances if AK develops like most of us believe he will. It will be amazing if we can make some national noise in the next few...

    Wyatt Gilmore Watch

    I reviewed the 4-Star guys that we have gotten under Fleck. Of the ines no longer here half of them are now playing in the NFL, the other half have transferred out. Having a 50% NFL hit rate, with one being a #1 draft pick is readon enough to pick MN.

    Wyatt Gilmore Watch

    While love it when people choose Row culture first. I have no problem with the athlete who want to head south for a year or two, get better and come home.

    Tanner’s NFL Journey

    NFL caliber accuracy, touch and timing is the whole reason Morgan stands a chance. His struggle to read a defense, lock in on his first option (he got better, but never got good at this) and lack of upper level athleticism are reasons he probably won't make a roster. I hope he gets on a...

    I think that Fleck would trade his entire starting roster for OSUs second team if you gave him the choice

    PJ says no in a heart beat. The reason is simple. You have a different type of personality who says yes to MN vs. yes to OSU. PJ would be the first person to tell you his job is to recruit someone better than you, regardless of talent. However, as we have seen, for him culture and...

    Reusse: Sept. 28, 1969 - This was the day the Vikings zipped past the Gophers and put them in the rearview mirror which those Gophers now share.

    What happened to Gopher Football: 1.) Other teams across the nation focusing more on recruiting Black Southern athletes and the South themselves opening up to the idea. 2.) An Administration that would not commit the funds necessary to make Gopher Football and sports in general a priority...

    '24 Illinois TE Julian Johnson commits!

    Someone caught the vision of what could be vs. looking at the past and seeing what was done. MN is up and coming. I am so excited about what we are building here with Fleck. This is a solid get, with an already solid class of athletes in place. Keep it coming.

    Gophers Recruiting CB Avante Dickerson Again Now That He's In Portal

    If I remember right, didn't Ortiz have something to do with him recruiting him to Minnesota. They were both big recruits in the same class. Where did Ortiz end up going?

    Saturday Spring Game Predictions/Thoughts

    Curiosities: 1.) how many throws will go to the RB's. 2.) Overall route design: Will there be more short routes (good indicator they don't think line can defend) vs. longer forming routes like in the past. 3.) How much does Kramer play QB vs. V

    FPI gives Gophers 12.1% chance to win B1G West

    Interesting to see Iowa with better odds to win 6 games and better record, but below us in the rankings. I think 33rd if fair for a pre-season prediction. Can see us going as high as 12 and no lower than 45 for the season.

    Great get!! With a college that is yearly sending kids to the NFL, why would one not want to be here. The culture isn't for everyone, but for those who understand culture, discipline and standard, this is a great place. We will lose some, but time is a always a great indicator of what we...
