    Week One: Offensive Line

    For the first game of the season (and with a new starter at EVERY position), I thought the OL played very well. I’d go solid B. I noticed them picking up multiple complex twists/stunts (unlike early in past seasons), and Lindsey was frequently getting to his 3rd or 4th read (also impressive...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers 1-0 After 23-10 Win Over Buffalo

    Buffalo, Miami OH, and Ohio are pretty much the consensus top 3 picks in the MAC. Ohio put up 31 on Rutgers and lost by 3. Miami was down 3-0 at half and 10-0 after 3 quarters to Wisconsin, but they did get statistically battered. MN outgained Buffalo by about 300 yards and about 20 more...

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yup. It’s unfortunate they’re only up 7, but they’re obviously dominating the game in every facet. KEY errors though. Two bad drops, the failed 4th down with a foot to go, the fluke INT. One lackluster drive by the D where Buffalo schemed a couple easy throws and popped a run. I predict a 27 -...

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Dude they need to institute the NFL replay system in college. I’m all for getting it right, but the number of stoppages is just maddening. We’re an hour 20 into this game and only halfway through the 2nd quarter.

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yeah it’s looking like a 21 - 0, 24 - 3 type game. Which would be fine by me.

    ***OFFICIAL BUFFALO AT MINNESOTA 2025 SEASON OPENER, FLECK YEAR 9 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Not a good look by Geers there yikes. Probably looked great in practice, but he was WAY too high. Wonder why a 230 lb QB wouldn’t run that? Oh well, you learn a lot in these first couple games. Put that one away and either let Lindsey take it or give it to Taylor.

    Who will have a better season as a Year 1 MN QB1? Lindsey or McCarthy?

    What an interesting question. JJ will have way more weapons and play in a much more aggressive, creative scheme, so I'd lean his way. I honestly have no idea what to expect from Lindsey. I think he'll be quite solid, and the hype train of the past 7 - 10 days has me excited, but I've been...

    Predict the Record Thread?

    Love how you did this because I'm torn between 7-5 and 8-4 :-) Here's mine: 10%: 6-6 or worse 30%: 7-5 35%: 8-4 15%: 9-3 10%: 10-2 or better I'm worried about OL gelling, new WR's learning the system, and the unproven talent at CB, LB, and QB. BUT the insane talent at RB, DL, and S (along...

    The Minnesota Vikings have signed #Gophers Max Brosmer!

    Yup, agree completely. Perfect landing spot. Doesn’t need to move, working with KOC, very shaky QB 3 situation. Very likely made more money negotiating as a UDFA than he would’ve being drafted late. I’m sure he’s pretty stoked about the opportunity. He definitely earned this last season.

    BOOM!!! Justin Hopkins commits to the Gophers!!!!!!!!!

    Wow, super excited about this pickup! In the era of decommits, portal, NIL, etc., he just seems very level-headed and relieved to have made a decision. Already talking about how glad he is to have committed early to he can focus on his senior season and start recruiting other 2026 players to...

    RB Ky Thomas transferred from MN to Kansas to Kent State to Washburn.

    I wish him luck and a life free of “what if”. Hope he finds a passion for something besides football. Folks in this thread haven’t been too hard on him, but can anyone argue he wouldn’t have been better off staying at Minnesota? That wasn’t the last year the backfield faced major injury issues.

    All Things Gophers in NFL Scout/Prospect Bowls

    Bummer to hear the game didn’t go well for Max, but the week of practice is more important in these all star games anyway — and the buzz was evident. Lot happens between now and May, but I’d be surprised if Max doesn’t get selected late.

    Big Ten Football: Who is on the hot seat in 2025? (Fickell, Riley, Locksley)

    Love this. It’s the fun but in-depth analysis that keeps me visiting GH in January. It sure ain’t the hot coach and “way too early” rankings that include Nebraska lol

    The Athletic final 134 Rankings for the 2024-25 season. Gophers #39

    I thought it was a little low as well, but as was the case in the B1G this year, I don’t think there’s a lot of separation between some of these programs. Minnesota proved they could hang with just about any team in the country. They also proved they could lose to pretty much any bowl team...

    STrib: Gophers football transfer portal impact, Part I: offense

    Man, I feel good about the program as a whole, but there are SO many unknowns on O next year. You pretty much only know what you’re getting out of DT — and that’s it. Burns speculated that JOhnson may not even play C next year, so you could have 5 new starters on the OL, a new QB (obviously)...

    David Cobb promoted to assistant head coach and GM at New Mexico State.

    Great success story. IIRC, he was in the doghouse with Kill for various reasons early in his career but obviously turned things around, had a great career, and has apparently gone on to become a great coach. Congrats to him!

    Greder: The U’s total NIL fund is roughly $2.5 million, so an 8-5 season can be considered a quality return on investment.

    I tend to lean in that direction. MN has retained most of their high level talent the past few years while managing to attract some transfers which tells me their NIL is more than sufficient. Obviously the culture Fleck has built helps with that, but you can’t tell me that at least 1-2 guys...

    Cam Ward

    I’ve seen a lot of outrage about this online, but it seems like a non-story to me. It’s very likely the entire staff and team knew this would happen and was glad to have him out there at all.
