Flashback to the UM Crookston gaffe

There's actually a high school in Pennsylvania that did this.

Considering what he did at Wisconsin and how Illinois is now, it's surprising Bielema couldn't get something going at Arkansas. I get that the SEC was stacked at that time, but still, his teams never seemed to their footing. That Arkansas program for about 20 years now has been just kind of...

Shaping up to be a good finish in BYU Vs. Colorado.

Penn State Vs. Oregon was a good one. I just realized if the Nittany Lions had won, the "old" Big Ten" would have swept the "new" Big Ten today.

Fleck frustrates me sometimes for sure, and that first quarter start was rough, but I didn't think our bowl streak was quite in jeopardy. The reason why is Fleck's teams have never truly fallen apart in his time here. We had a glimpse of it in 2018. Started the year 3-4, ended the season 4-2...

Bounce back time. RTBSUMGG

The Star Tribune also has Minnesota winning, 24-23 The Gophers’ last game certainly didn’t inspire confidence. Uncharacteristic mistakes, eight penalties, special teams gaffes and a lack of offensive rhythm led to the loss at Cal in their first test against a Power Four opponent. Now comes...

Gopher Illustrated (247 Sports) has Minnesota winning, 30-27 The one thing I disagree with Vegas on is the game total. I don't like the matchup between Rutgers' receivers and Minnesota's corners. Additionally, while the Gopher offense has struggled to score points, Robb Smith's defense is the...

It's almost like it doesn't make a ton of sense for California teams to be in a predominantly Midwestern conference.

Eyy, we have the classic MMG combo!

Probably not what the dude would want to hear, but every time I see McMurphy's picture I think of Matt Millen.

Gophers on SI is out with their staff predictions. Tony Liebert sides with Minnesota, 27-20 Athan Kaliakmanis’ return to Huntington Bank Stadium will get all of the headlines, but this week’s matchup is a pivotal game for both Minnesota and Rutgers. Both teams are very comparable, but the...

The Pioneer Press is going with a close Minnesota win, 21-20 Minnesota Offense Vs. Rutgers Defense: Minnesota fans know Knights’ defensive coordinator Robb Smith; P.J. Fleck fired him from the same role in the middle of 2018 season. Smith has reunited with Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano for a...

This is what I'm thinking, too. Shifts probably will continue. I will say, though, I do think the P4 should limit its opponents to G5 and skip over FCS. The benefit just isn't there for the Power 4 team in most cases. A win doesn't advance their position, and a loss is embarrassing. On...

Writers at NJ.Com are siding with Rutgers. Steve Politi predicts a 35-31 Rutgers win. This is the second straight Big Ten game where Rutgers has the best player on the field in Ian Strong and a quarterback — former Minnesota starter Athan Kaliakmanis — who is playing at an elite level. The...

I think despite improvements, media isn't fully sold on Rutgers, plus Gophers are at home.

Sports Grid picks Minnesota in the game Rutgers lost their first game of the season last Friday night and is 0-1 in conference play, while Minnesota had an extra week to prepare (also coming off a loss) for its Big Ten opener. The Gophers have a strong defense and a weak offense, while RU’s...

Certainly seemed like it was time to move on after last year and the start to this one. I'm sure it's bittersweet, and he will likely be honored and celebrated a couple years from now. He's the winningest coach they've had and has a solid resume. All things considered, in a conference with...
