    PP: Gophers biggest loss to the Buckeyes might have been tackle Phillip Daniels in the transfer portal

    Right, it allows you to have one more talented lineman to add into the mix and sit the guy struggling the most. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have helped. It is comforting to see he hasn't been a world beater!

    This Gophers team is worse than last year. Next year's team will be better. Agree or disagree?

    You are so right. Well, that and I think OL. Justin Walley was a four year starter and was in line to start for the Indianapolis Colts until he got hurt this year. Ethan Robinson was also a very good corner. Jack Henderson is still bouncing around the NFL on practice squads and was a big...

    Week 7 AP Poll - Texas and Penn State OUT

    I disagree. There is no comparison between SEC and B1G bias. Nebraska has a win over a very good Cincinnati team and their only loss is by 3 points to Michigan. They should be ranked. Cincinnati is basically ranked 26 right now, above Nebraska. Washington should also be ranked with their...

    This Gophers team is worse than last year. Next year's team will be better. Agree or disagree?

    I don't think we'll see many Gophers at all getting drafted or picked up as UDFAs this year. Last year, we had quite a few. The large majority of our best players will be coming back so we should be better next year. The only player that has a shot at being drafted in 2026 right now would be...

    Gopher football

    Drake does look like he could get in a little better shape. He looks a little soft. If he gets stronger and leaner and could even run a little bit, that would add a useful element to his game.

    I was talking to a woman from Congo. She said she spoke four languages, but when she used to work in a call center, people would get really made at her if her English wasn't perfect. She said she always wanted to say, just once, "Hey dummy, how fluent are you in your fourth language?" I told...

    Lindsey’s First Three Games

    I agree. I'm sure they go in trying to be balanced. You need to shorten the game to have a chance. Maybe your running game does a little better than you thought. It's unlikely, but you need to try. The line is young and can improve. Ohio State has been absolutely killer on third and long...

    FYI. I've heard Indiana has come into a lot of NIL $.

    A cautionary tale that could help the Gophers: Oregon RB transfer Makhi Hughes to redshirt after 4 games

    It doesn't always work out when you use the portal to transfer to a blueblood. Sometimes their five-star recruit is better than you right out of the gate. Maybe Hughes should have gone to a program like the U of M where he would be more likely to be lead back or at least split carries. Now...

    Agreed. Our local recruiting footprint sucks and our NIL is average at best. We need to recruit late bloomers, etc., that the top programs ignore from their own backyards and hope some of them pan out. PJ is a developmental coach which is what we need right now.

    Analysis of Minnesota’s chances against Ohio State

    Ohio State hasn't scored much this year MOSTLY because they're playing it safe and haven't been forced to put the pedal down. They have punted TWICE in their last THREE games (0.67 punts/game)! One of those punts was to Grambling when they were up 63-0 so I think it's fair to say their...

    Who is a better QB, The Drake or Athan?

    Heard some analysis today that Drake had three big time throws and zero turnover worthy according to PFF while Athan had one big time throw and four turnover worthy (one resulted in a Rutgers touchdown) so basically what we were all thinking. Athan's got to continue to tighten things up. In...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    You seem to know California for obvious reasons. Can you give your thoughts on the second part of GopherGrit's question? Should we have taken Cal instead of UCLA? We would have locked down another huge TV market. UCLA's situation could improve, but it really sucks right now with the debt...

    SEC OVERHYPED ALERT!

    I like the way you think! That's the way things SHOULD be viewed, but they aren't for the majority of people. Hey, the world isn't perfect. I get it. The CFP rankings will be very interesting and they mostly got it right last year against a lot of SEC pressure. They do deserve a lot of...

    SEC OVERHYPED ALERT!

    Alabama & Maryland beat Wisconsin by similar scores. Alabama with one bad loss to Florida State is 10 while Maryland is undefeated and unranked. I know Alabama just beat Georgia, but we only THINK Georgia is good. It's too early to really know. Florida State barley loses to a one loss...

    Drake Lindsey vs Rutgers

    He threw an interception against California on a long out route jumped by their corner that has a lot of picks. Not a great decision against a very good defender.

    Who is a better QB, The Drake or Athan?

    I find it hard to believe he'd leave if he is doing really well here. If teams are coming with bags of cash, then he knows the NFL also knows he's good. Most QBs that move purely for money seem to be the good college QBs that have limited pro futures and so want to maximize their college...

    Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota at Ohio State

    The Gophers feel insulted by the 23.5 point line and Ohio State has no incentive to run up the score. Our above average safeties keep OSU honest and have a good day keeping things in front of them. We score late with OSU sitting on the lead to keep things respectable. OSU 27 - MN 13.

    Analysis of Minnesota’s chances against Ohio State

    I disagree. I've watched a lot of Ohio State football this year. It likely would take close to 40 points to beat them and multiple mistakes on their part. They have a redshirt freshman, Julian Sayin, at quarterback and have been playing it very safe with him. Exactly what PJ would do if he...
