    Shooter: Since the introduction of name, image and likeness (NIL), word is there’s a different look to the Gophers football players parking lot.

    I love how this line literally took no journalistic work to create. Something like - Gopher parking lot has X# of Tesla's - x# of $50k plus sports cars - x# of pick-up trucks may have actually been interesting. But just stating something everyone knows to be true - since college atheletes...

    How the Big Ten rallied around a CFP plan the rest of college football isn’t sold on

    With the automatic bids in place it allows a few things to happen: 1.) Conferences championship week could include their own playoff system - assuming conferences would get to determine how one qualifies for the auto-bid. 2.) With more automatic bids - conference games take on more weight...

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    https://www.si.com/high-school/football/2025-high-school-on-si-preseason-power-25-football-rankings-01k0fn1tqv9h This article believes WI QB has the inside track to start. Should be interesting to see what unfolds.

    BYU QB Reportedly Transferring

    Grace without caring about holiness (the way we love and care for ourselves and others) isn't grace, it is just laziness. True grace is understanding how important our actions are and then working your way towards forgiveness in the midst of this. Typically religious colleges that claim to...

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    While I hope he gets to start at Mater Dei, it concerns me the article doesn't mention how the Wisconsin recruit came in to compete for the starting job. I am guessing Furian has the inside track, but I doubt the Wisconsin recruit came to sit out his senior year. Would love for Furian to beat...

    Gophers playoff chances - FPI at 4.3%

    Based upon these rankings we are 9th in the B1G and above Iowa and WI, but below NE, WA and USC. Accounting for talent, history and schedule I think this is the most accurate assessment of "chance" that I have seen given to the U of Minn.

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    This thread is more depressing than the "bad losses" thread because it has been hi-jacked by people who think demanding us to be like Ohio State will actually get us there, or think it adds anything to the conversation. I get hoping for more but and PJ deserves some critique but that is what...

    P.J. Fleck gets a new contract extension—pending approval from Board of Regents—keeping him under contract until 2030.

    This headline is also true: Men's Football team brings in $40 million of profits to University but only gives Fleck a meager raise. or MN Football coaches still only paid about 15% of revenue that Football makes for the university despite raise. In the end the Star Tribune picked the...

    Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

    If his dream was to play TE, then us getting Voss is probably going to lean him towards Penn State. However, if he is fine playing LB and then occasionally coming in as a second TE weapon, then I would think the U of M is the place. If picks the U I will be celebrating, but this is also one...

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    Going to be honest -- seeing Wisconsin having fewer recruits with a lower average rating excites my soul. However, Iowa with four 4* recruits and an average ranking of 88.54 doesn't make me feel like our class is blowing them out of the water. Either way it is good to see how good we are...

    Different Vibe

    In the end Fleck seems to be the same pre NIL and post. He did not sell out his culture for stars who would take a check. He is using NIL to enhance his culture and his culture is bound to attract more $$$ if he can show he can win at a high level. People love a program that develops young...

    2027 QB Furian Inferrera has Flipped his Commitment from Boston College to Minnesota!

    Mater Dei plays close to a college schedule. So while he has elite talent there is a good chance he will also be seeing D1 linemen, CB's and LB's on a weekly basis. He won't be throwing to WR's he have no one around them for 5 yds. While i am sure it will still be easier than at most places...

    All Things Roman Voss Thread (Gophers Commit!)

    No problem with a hat ceremony. Just don't put our hat on and the flip it to Alabama, like kid did with the Illinois via Nebraska.

    All Things Class of 2026 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread (Offers, Videos, Tweets, Rankings and More)

    ANT would have been a father at 5/6 (yes I get your sarcasm but felt the need to Mansplain on Fathers Day) - which at the rate he is going it may have been a possibility. Probably a long lost brother who is attending school here so they can connect. That's the theory I am going with. At the...

    Wisconsin Football faces recruiting violations

    Time for Wisconsin to give him another extension, to show their commitment in the midst of the subpar results.

    Three football coaches Iowa fans love to hate (PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    Think of where MN stood prior to PJ. While we have not had the wins we would hope to have against Iowa, MN has raised the bar in competing in other ways. We recruit and win recruiting battles against Iowa. We are competitive and with PJ one could argue our future looks much brighter than...

    Big Ten trojan horse lures SEC toward lame College Football Playoff format

    ESPN would love the 4-4-2-2-1 idea if they had the B1G contract. They have the SEC contract and know they can influence AP polling and coaches polling enough to make sure that the SEC has 5-6 schools in each year if they can limit the other conferences to 1 auto bid each year. The BIG-12 and...

    Steve Hartman / Malachi Coleman/ Inspirational Turn Around

    Talking about a great cultural fit for Malachi. I knew he was a great athlete but did not know the back story. Thanks for sharing. Very excited to see how an off the field cultural match will help him mature into a NFL caliber receiver. The great thing is that even if he never gets to...

    Splash commits

    The biggest thing about being ranked #18 this time is that normally we are ranked in this spot having 20 commits and everyone else has only 8 commits. Now we are surrounded by programs with the same number of commits and a lot of the big schools have classes that are similar in size. I know...
