The Coyles were underneath the turf at TCF Bank Stadium for some pretty impressive wins over the past couple of years, and now it’s rumored that Notre Dame wants them. Possibly USC. Edit: Misspelled Notre Dame as “Notre Damn.” I almost like that better.

That reminds me of a baseball announcer who, when describing an injured player, said, "He could be out indefinitely, maybe longer."

Well, at least Athlon got one of the three game locations correct, which is a greater percentage than usual for them.

I’m also stumped by the praise for Franklin. In his time at Penn State, his teams are 1-5 against Ohio State, 2-4 against Michigan, and 2-4 against Michigan State, and people say he’s the best coach in the B1G. I don’t understand.

I can’t wait to see what gets dumped on the head of the winning coach.

I have a hard time understanding all the love for Franklin. While at PSU, his teams are 1-5 against OSU, 2-4 against Michigan, and 2-4 against MSU. His PSU teams are 1-8 on the road vs ranked teams (the only win coming at Iowa last year). Bielema won three B1G titles at Wisconsin, and...

The athletic.com posted a listing of the five hottest programs in recruiting. It’s not necessarily who’s recruiting the best, but which programs are the hottest right now. Here’s their explanation of that: If you’re interested in finding out who is recruiting the best right now, it’s as...

Interesting to note the fine print underneath “The Best,” where Wisconsin and Iowa are both listed. So, three B1G West teams in the top seven.

I realize this post isn’t about Gophers football, but someone asked in this thread about tennis players, so... Three Minnesota-born tennis players who have had professional success: David Wheaton, won MSHSL boys tennis championship as a frosh, still writes a few columns per year for the...

There are no criteria listed for their rankings, but at least it's something to read about college football. Fleck's blurb contains the following: Barton's take: "There are plenty of Fleck haters out there. They call it a gimmick. They don’t buy into the slogans. The enthusiasm has to be fake...

This made me laugh, although your definition of “DB” might be a bit different than the original intent.

That would be interesting, one Fleck-coached WR moving out (if I’m reading that correctly), making way for another Fleck-coached WR to move in.

Theathletic.com put out its 2021 mock draft, and has another Gophers player going to Green Bay. (I included the mock first pick of the Vikings, too, as they were one slot after GB, meaning... they had a slightly better season???) 22. Green Bay Packers — *Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota...
