Yes... I do think that the Gophers ranking 12th in wins nationally over the last 5 seasons is good. To each his own. Cheers.

Is he going to handle both punting and place-kicking at Minnesota?

I keep going back to the information contained in the original post on this thread. I consider myself to be an optimistic fan, but even I found those numbers to be surprising. I often read here on Gopher Hole that Minnesota under Fleck is a 'mid-level' program, but the original post on this...

There is a part of me that really wants to see a Vikings - Lions rematch. The Vikings have a QB situation to sort out, and there is also the question of O'Connell's upcoming extension. Those are both big, big decisions regarding the team's future. If the Vikings play Detroit again in the...

You're right, I missed that.

Good information, SON. I agree — I doubt there's any conspiracy per se. I do, however, think there is bias based on national perception. I think there's a 'perception barrier', if you will. Apparently, an 11-2 season ending in a #10 ranking, two 9-4 seasons and an 8-5 season are not enough to...

I had to look at this several times to make sure it's accurate. I think you're correct, golf. I had been looking at ESPN's playoff bracket and assuming that the Vikings would go to Detroit, but you have shown that's not necessarily the case.

It will definitely be a factor in the Vikings' decision-making process.

Mmmmm... I take it, then, that you have no 'context' whatsoever to provide on the actual subject at hand. I didn't think so. Par for the course.

Jeez. Are you new to Gopher Hole? I kid. There is a playoff game next week — I repeat, a playoff game. That means it's a game that none of these folks would have expected or predicted back when the Vikings 2024 season began. Now watch... If the Vikings win that game vs. the Rams, watch what...

One loss = you're no longer ranked.

So, why don't you supply some 'context'? Please elaborate. I'm willing to listen. As far as validation is concerned, it wouldn't take much time to fact-check these win numbers.

He's a very solid B. There are two recent threads on Gopher Hole that make for very interesting and informative reading. 1) Last 5 full seasons. 2) Greder: The U’s total NIL fund is roughly $2.5 million, so an 8-5 season can be considered a quality return on investment.

How can you not love this guy? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oPhFxVtI6qg

If that's accurate, it is simply amazing. For Minnesota to be 12th in the entire nation in wins over that time period is very impressive. For Minnesota to have been ranked in only 11 weeks while compiling that impressive record is a bit of a head-scratcher, to say the least.

When Chryst was fired and Wisconsin announced a clean break from the 'old ways' (Alvarez model) in favor of a more 'modern' approach (Luke Fickell) I wondered if the Badgers might have set themselves up for a future that resembled Nebraska after the firing of Bo Pelini. Time will tell, but the...

Saban at Michigan State: 34-24-1 (.586) Fleck at Minnesota: 57-39 (.593) It's hard to win in the B1G.

Regarding the bolded: I am really happy to see that the young man is focused on becoming the best player he can be, with help from coaching. It shows self-awareness and maturity in that he apparently recognizes the fact that he's not a superstar quite yet, but he has high aspirations for himself.

All I know is: Nick Saban looked like he was freezing his ass off. He did not look happy to be there.

My God, I am loving all of this... ESPN and the SEC having a brutal moment in the relentless social media gristmill is delightful. And then this thought occurred to me, and it made me even happier: Wisconsin travels to Tuscaloosa next September. Gee... I wonder if Alabama will be fixin' to...
