    ESPN used fake names to secure Emmys for ‘College GameDay’ stars

    ESPN is troublesome because of the way they talk about sports. They slant things to contracts they own and big markets. When Alabama and Georgia met in the title game we had a never ending stream of conversation about SEC dominance. When two, 2024 B1G teams meet they didn't mention the...

    Shama: Next Gophers D-Coordinator Could Come from NFL

    Any chance Flores could coach the Vikings and Gophers on defense? Being in the same town would have its benefits - plus it could assist in scouting. Perhaps Bud Grant's son could fill in when there are conflicts. Plus, a little birdie told me that at one time PJ and Flores once ate at the...

    Saturday Tradition: Our way to early 2024 Big Ten Power Rankings (16. Minnesota)

    I can see why one would rank us at #16. It does not seem illogical to think that Rossi was the defense, especially to an outsider. Then you have the whole QB room leave. If you think the defense takes a major downturn and the Offense is one of the worst in the B1G and consider our schedule...

    Was firing Richard Pitino a panic move?

    Pitino was way to early of a hire and he wasn't going to grow up and get better staying here. New Mexico is a perfect place for him to thrive and he is doing it. Ben Johnson was a way to early of a hire and I am not sure if he was to go elsewhere, he would thrive. I thought it was a great...

    Hawaii just sent Minnesota to a bowl game in crazy fashion

    We have very inconsistent and young team. For many of us the disappointment is that we thought Fleck had built something sustainable year in and year out and that Athan was more than he was. We were lucky to beat Nebraska - outplayed Iowa, but almost lost. Then we had two losses that we...

    Describe the Gophers loss to Badgers in 1 sentence

    Team had a lot of question marks going in and not a lot of answers going into next season. What we learned is that we are Jerry Kill level deep (recruiting rankings don't lie). We still are an NFL producing machine, but with NIL the dynamics are changing and not in MN's favor. I love the...

    Are These Big Ten Coaches On The Hot Seat? (MN, Ben Johnson: Hot Seat Status: On Fire)

    Interest has never been lower in Gopher B-ball. Coyle will fire ASAP if momentum does not swing up. He can't afford to go into next year with a basketball program that is dead upon arrival. He will have the new B1G TV money and with no significant movements taking place in any other program...

    Official 2024 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    HS vs. College game is so different. You can get away with ball being off by a two or three feet and it will be a completion. In college, unless you play for OSU, the ball needs to be within a foot of where you need it to be. AK has plenty of arm strenght, but his touch seems to be way off...

    2023 MN High School Football season

    Seeding the tournament should have prevented a Eden Prairie playing against Lakeville North. The Centennial bracket was a joke, by far the weakest bracket and I expect Rosemount to pull off the win there. Thier Jr. QB was out early in the season and has been improving steadily. There is a...

    How will Gophers finish?

    I hate to say this, but I think there is the same amount of chance that we beat OSU as there that we lose to Illinois. I don't think we will scare anyone with our red zone offense with the way Athan is struggling to be accurate. I really hope something clicks with him because the way the...

    2024 Schedule Coming out Today at 3pm

    out schedule while being tough is not impossible. I would rather race USC, Michigan and Penn State than OSU or Oregon next year. The biggest observation on B1G West teams is that the B1G really is setting up Nebraska to have a top 15 / Top 10 team next year as long as they are above average...

    Fleck proves he is no Tim Brewster by getting a victory against Bret.

    OSU #1 in First CFP Rankings

    Wins vs strong opponents more important than dominant wins is what the NCAA is saying. However, they have Georgia at #2 and Florida State at #4. So maybe what the NCAA is saying is that if OSU loses to Michigan, they want the chance to still include OSU in a playoff because TV rankings last...

    What a weird column, per La Velle: Gophers victory over Michigan State does not match triumph over Iowa

    If I wrote an article titled: "Gopher's win doesn't match a Georgia national championship or even the 2019 win against Penn State." It would be seen as non-sense and just bad writing. A game and a victory should never reflect on other wins. A better article would have been. "Gopher's win...

    Describe the Gophers win over Iowa in 1 sentence.

    Gophers wave Good-bye to Iowa as they leave with Pig. However, after further review it was an illegal fair catch signal towards Iowa, not a wave.

    ESPN: Surprises at midseason (Most Disappointing Teams: Minnesota)

    I think the Northwestern loss with the fact that against NC and Michigan we did not look competitive, creates the disappointment. We do not look like a team that was meant to compete for the West and that is why we are the most disappointing team.

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    He didn't overthrow the route, the route is meant to go to the sideline. The problem is the safety who normally covers deep and in, is covering up and out. I don't ever think I have seen a double team where one is short in and the other is short out.

    This guy is spot on

    If PJ's coaching leads to 1 year where we are barely bowl eligible, 1 year where we qualify for a CFP, 2 years of 10 win seasons, then bring it on. We have a new OC and while I was hoping for a smooth transition, it looks like this year will be filled with growing pains. I have no doubt next...
