Talent and system. Fleck hasn't had a lot of NFL talent and when he did, he didn't seem to utilize it. BSF had his issues but the talent was there. Keft was and and still is Keft, a glorified blocking TE. Geers? Could he become a Iowa type productive TE? Only is Fleck trusts him.

Every season there is a team that "surprises". Maybe its our turn. But I know that could be an uphill battle as many teams seem to have more talent. But..........

Mpls is often listed as an unsafe city. Gopher coaches have to deal with this. Every large metro area has their safe zones and neighborhoods to avoid. But one has to accept the reality where Mpls ranks. MSP is a huge metro area offering their pluses and trying to minimizing the negatives. There...

At this time, when one compares what PU has in their bucket compared to the Gophers it put things into perspective. I’ve posted here every time the Gophers bring in a new coach the struggle to compete with the cream of the BIG is a huge uphill struggle. At least we have an experienced HC at the...

Based on 2023 data Mpls violent crime rate was 179% higher national, ranked in top ten in crime in USA. Recent data showed Mpls had highest crime rate of Minnesota largest cities followed by StCloud, Duluth and St Paul. To be fair early 2025 data shows lower crime rates. But this is pretty...

Friday night games were a rarity 20 plus years ago as the BIG respected HS Friday nite football games. Michigan and Lloyd Carr reluctantly played the Gophers on Oct 10, 2003 at the damn dome due to a potential scheduling conflict as with the Twins being in the MLB playoffs. Of course the Gophers...

According to RJ on GI Niko is still expecting to announce a newbie in the next week.

Exactly! Yet people choose to read this garbage then complain about its contents. There will be more ranking articles and the same predictable critics. Weird.

BB is a proven commodity. He can flat out coach. Just ask PJ.

I have no idea.

Great! He has another year to grow and get BIG ready. He makes the game look so easy.

This is so true. Talent isn't an end all. Blending the talent into a team is what counts. Niko talked about the importance of getting the "right" player. Guys who understand that there is no "I" in the word "team". It appears as if the talent level of this team is not off the charts and...

Just a guess but it could be a foreign player waiting for a student visa, government clearance, UM to accept his transcript, etc.

GI is saying Niko has two newbies coming.

ShushPush: I use AI to synthesize arguments into a format that is easier for people to understand. Are you a robot?

In an appearance on Fox News Channel last year, Saban urged Congress to step in and make NIL "equal across the board." "And I think that should still exist for all players, but not just a pay-for-play system like we have now where whoever raises the most money in their collective can pay the...

Good listen. Getting to know Niko. So far so good! Seems very real, grounded and the kind of guy to sit, chew the fat and have a couple of brews with. Ben always seemed to be out there somewhere and always searching to say the "right" thing.

Our offense will be a big transformation from last season with an unproven QB and OL, loss of 80% production with receiving corps, two new TE's. The RB bunch is our strong point. Buffalo will be a stiff test and not a given.

FWIW, someone ranked the incoming top 25 BIG transfers. Indiana showed 5 and Michigan 4 players. Bobby Durkin was ranked #22. At a glance, NU, R, PSU and Nebraska all drew blanks...
