Yeah, just my opinion and not based on anything other than looking at the teams results but 3 wins seems like a solid prediction. Could be 4 if they perform better than expected, could be 2 if they perform worse than expected.

That X account is BS. They pretty much just make stuff up.

It definitely is. It can be a turning point.

Same here. My daughter could have played D2 soccer on scholarship but it was relatively small amount that it wasn't really a consideration if she liked another school. She's not going to be playing in college as the school she wants to go to didn't offer a scholarship. And realistically, she...

You're a real smartass, aren't you? They mean basically the same thing. They're not completely meaningless but they don't really predict outcomes very well. And I didn't say the Gophers are favored. Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem? You may have a differing opinion, and that is...

Pervious seasons have no bearing on this season. And rankings typically don't mean crap. If you are out side like the top 10 or so the rankings really don't matter all that much. And if Gophers beat Nebraska and Iowa loses to Penn St. the Gophers would be the clear favorite going into that game.

Gophers 24-20.

Yeah, I don't see any unbeatable teams left or any for sure wins left. I could see anywhere between 2-4 more wind depending on how they perform. Even 5 wins isn't impossible, though unlikely. I feel like 7 wins is a pretty comfortable prediction but like I said if they win this week then the...

Well my take: Nebraska should be favored but far from unbeatable Iowa maybe a slight favorite I take the Gophers over Michigan St. Oregon, not likely to win that one. I think the Gophers vs Northwestern is even money. Gophers should be favored to beat WI I think there are 4 50/50 or...

Well you have an new DC so there is understandably some sub optimal things being done but you look for improvement. At the same time I feel like the talent level on defense really dropped off with all the guys that left from last year too. Hard to tell how much is on the defensive coaching and...

Yeah, that is crazy. I'm not involved in HS Basketball so wasn't sure on the number but knew that basketball might have the most kids playing of any HS sport now. At least for sure at the largest schools. I know for wrestling the biggest programs have maybe 60 kids. If you add in Middle...

I come from wrestling as my main sport. Kids literally wrestle the entire year now. Some of these kids are wrestling like 100+ matches a year. Been a real issue with injuries with how physical the sport is.

Yeah, you have 5 starters and maybe 2-3 kids that rotate in a fair amount. So unless you're one of the top 8 kids on the team you're riding pine or playing JV. And Basketball participation is still pretty high I think so even making JV can be hard. I'm not sure what the number of kids is...

Yeah, happens o all sports though. Like wrestling, for the big kids. Sometimes these really athletic big guys drop out of wrestling because they're in line for a football scholarship and it's just another possible way to get hurt or another thing that costs a bunch of money and you have to do...

Yup, that is the issue in MN. I think usually our highest level recruits tend to be lineman. 8 of the top 15 for 2026, 7 for 2025, 9 in 2024.

That is what I'm seeing in class 4A too. Even the top 5 teams don't seem to be as loaded as usual.

Yeah, I would say that's accurate but I'm not so confident in Marshall. They looked pretty good so far but Rocori, Hutch, and WIllmar all look much better now than they did earlier in the season. Then St. Peter has looked solid but mostly against AAA schools. I would not be surprised one bit...

Well class 4A is a very interesting class this year. Nobody really standing out as the clear top dog, IMO. #1-Byron 7-0 Key wins: Stewartville (27-26), K-M (34-20), Holy Angels (42-12), Hill Murray (42-6) #2- Marshall 7-0 Key Wins: Rocori (28-0), Fergus Falls (27-14) #3- Rocori 6-1 Key Wins...

I think that is going to be the key to the game. If Nebraska insists on throwing the ball a lot, I think that favors the Gophers.

Yeah, give him a top end WR and they would be hard to beat on the offensive side of the ball. But maybe adding a TE like Voss to the mix might do as well. Martino was a big time recruit, maybe he becomes that guy.
