    I'm not sure 8 and 10 in the Big Ten is a remarkable accomplishment. Whalen was 7 and 11 in 21-22 in the Big Ten. Her recruits are the core of the team. Are you confident once Whalen's recruits graduate we will not backslide? Or maybe better question...How is that going to happen that we...

    Great Reusse column on his lifelong fandom of our Gophers!

    Today, the beat writers just transcribe quotes or the speakers thoughts from the press conferences. Everything they write was said in the press conferences. They do very little slant or express thoughts of their own from inside observation or individual interviews. I don't think they get...

    Leach Eligible for HOF

    I think Leach should be in the HOF. But, what I'd really like is for the Gophers to go 10 and 2 this year and get PJ over the 60% barrier and then keep stacking wins going forward.. I agree 60% is a silly arbitrary number that doesn't factor where you coach. I certainly do not want Iowa to...

    Field of "72" Projection

    I was feeling bullish on the Gopher roster in the beginning of May...but I was expecting additions. Hoping for a significant one...best player type. We'll see how the roster rounds out but it seems like it might be tough to be even the 12th place team on May 30th. Disappointed we havem't added...

    72 or 76 team NCAA tournament.....NCAA determined to ruin one of the best things in sports.

    Or more meaningful? If 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 in the Big Ten standings are all wrasslin' to be included in the Tournament fans would pay attention.

    72 or 76 team NCAA tournament.....NCAA determined to ruin one of the best things in sports.

    68, 72, 76 aren't they all the same? Tournament begins when you get to 64 teams.

    Coach Fleck joins this week with updates on off-season workouts, DC, OC, QB, DB, NIL, and his amazing vacation to Italy. Great stuff here.

    Well, the first 4 minutes is Grimm thanking sponsors...the next 3 minutes is chatter...players are on campus year around...they get two, three weeks off in May. Danny Collins is running the same defensive system as all the other DC's for PJ. Danny is a different guy running the system making...

    Tyson to Minnesota?

    Cade Tyson My guess is Tyson will play for somebody...the Gophers could be his best opportunity to get minutes. This is crazy...350 whatever DI basketball teams....since Chance Stephens committed exactly 20 days ago to the Gophers...only 40 total players in those last 20 days has committed to...

    These 5 teams could win the Big Ten, but only with a little luck and a lot of help (4. Minnesota)

    See now, I had a different take...I was pissed he rated us behind Washington, Iowa and Michigan State. Maybe bigger question...did Illinois cancel their season...they will be a tough out.

    Erik Van Rooyen

    Takehome pay. Not suggesting he is not doing very well but there are expenses. At say 35% takehome he's still got $3.5 million to invest.

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    My "hobby" is reading about Gopher sports. I think it is pretty much most everybody's desire to move to a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood. At least it used to be the "American Dream." I don't begrudge PJ for moving into nicer houses. I was answering the folks who think he is satisfied in...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    Great points! PJ has deferred to his wife on many comments as a factor for a decison and I presently get the feeling she is still status climbing. I would like him to stay. I just don't know if he does if somebody comes close to doubling his salary. I don't think he'll leave without the major...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I agree with all that...my thoughts were pretty much focused on one guy whose Dad and his agents were asking for $4 million dollars. I didn't;t think he'd be a good fit at say $2 million.

    Gophers ranked #17 in way too early look at next season by The Athletic

    The May 13th updated list talked about above: So, 9 Big Ten teams in the top 30 discussion. I do believe the list is sleeping on a 10th team, USC: USC outlook Indiana finished ahead of the Gophers last year and has pretty much a new team with some acclaimed additions: Indiana Nebraska went...

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    But, in basketball especially, do you really want a mercenary on your team? #1. Getting more money than anybody else on the team but totally ungrateful and unhappy because it's not enough. #2. Teammates are going to resent him and his attitude. #3 Selfless, one heartbeat, one for all, we are...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    You are not paying attention if you don't think that they are attracted to glitz and glamor. PJ has had 3 different houses in Minnesota....each one a step up from the pervious one. 2017...this was house number two: house 2 House number 3 is an upgrade and i can't find the story. The places...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    Well, come on, UCLA has a nice surrounding lifestyle. However, they are not spending money on football. Foster makes $3 million per year. Half of what PJ makes at Minnesota. They are spending less on NIL. There was no decision necessary for PJ.
