Thanks for putting this together. Former Gopher QB and Bears head coach Marc Trestman is still kicking around as an offensive assistant with the Chargers

He's going to be a busy guy doing all 3 of those jobs at a low-resource FBS program, but it's fantastic experience that puts him on the head coaching (or GM) track at a relatively young age. Go David!

By collegiate accomplishments he's the greatest Gopher player of the modern era. Congrats Greg!

ESPN predicts Drake Lindsey as the starter this fall, in a series about all P4 schools. In a set of coincidences, two paragraphs about the Gopher QB room refer to Virginia Tech in three separate contexts. -- 2025 starter: Drake Lindsey, redshirt freshman Why he'll start: Minnesota went to...

If I'm the Titans I'm begging the Cowboys to do this. They get to pick up Dak Prescott and probably some additional assets in a Herschel Walker-type deal to make the Sanders family happy. Or the darker path ensues where Shedeur refuses to play for any team except the Cowboys, forcing 11...

The 49ers kicker was missing almost everything the last couple games. Could be a match.

I think it's becoming a thing to publicly declare for the draft even if you are out of eligibility. Technically speaking, all players who want to be in the NFL must declare for the NFL draft, regardless of their remaining eligibility. I suppose it's like saying "I'm open for employment" after...

A wild idea would be USF (South Florida) instead of FSU. Not only is it the opposite acronym but USF just joined the AAU in 2024, is located in a top 15 media market (Tampa Bay), and plays in a NFL stadium. I know they don't have the football history or massive fan base of FSU, but they would...

There's no replay of it that I can find, but Faalele reprised his wave we saw a couple times at the U, including when he scored that spring game TD. There was a small scuffle between the teams under 2 minutes and he did a big 2-handed wave goodbye to the opponents. You can do that when you...

The more structured this all gets the better things probably get for the Gophers. It sounds like sacrilege but the best possible outcome for the Gophers might be a college football premiere league that is a fully affiliated minor league for the NFL. Gophers would probably be in the cool kids...

This is generally true of left-leaning economics and politics as a whole. The floor is raised but the ceiling is lowered. People's opinions on that outcome vary. Personally, I think it's better for the wealth to be spread more evenly, though far from equally. I think that parity and balance...

Not a great start to the PJ Fleck head coaching tree. Flashes are only drawing about 5,000 fans for each home game and were only within 19 points in one MAC game vs. 3-9 Ball State. Lost to Tennessee and Penn State by a combined 127-0

In addition to what others have said, a truly top level QB would help. It's been over 50 years (1972) since a Gopher QB has been drafted in any round of the NFL Draft. Not even as a flier back in the 12 round era. Not even when the Gophers have had some very good teams recently. There...

B+ or A- Best era of Gopher football since Murray Warmath. Some big high points along the way. Positive face of the program and leader who we can be proud of. Has brought stability to the program to the point where Minnesota is one of the most stable rosters and coaching staffs in P4...

Good point. The Gophers have a really good net transfer ranking unless something big changes. Only lost one player who was likely to be a future starter this cycle, and gained a bunch.

Jordan Howden with a key pick. Kieft, Winfield, and the Bucs still trying to win the division.

Sounds like we're past reloading and on to Nukes

True, though the board room doesn't design anything except the plans to lay off the people who did do the work.

The announcers were fine for a mid-level bowl game where the sponsor clearly put them up to a whole bunch of not-football tasks. It was an infomercial for mayo where the sponsor inserted itself into the game the most I have ever seen from a bowl. The weirdest parts were the several moments on...

I want to see the Eat Shit Bowl where the loser has to... (even the opt outs)
