    Jim Leonhard joins Illinois as Senior Football Analyst

    Leonhard had a recent hip replacement and is a wealthy young man who has a connection to 2Bs. It is a great interim job that pays enough, and keeps him in college football while his kids grow up, and until he decides what he wants to do the rest of his life. I doubt if his taking the job will...

    Northwestern Fires Pat Fitzgerald

    That is very possible for the students' law suits since they are suing for only tens of thousands of $$ but if Fitz pursues his suit we are talking about many millions $$.

    Northwestern Fires Pat Fitzgerald

    The lawsuits have begun against Northwestern, so the depositions taken under oath will be made public unless the powers at NW, their lawyers, and insurance companies decide to settle to avoid going to a trial. Will the former HC sue for wrongful dismissal; will any players sue the coach? This is...

    247: College football's 10 teams set to rise, tumble in 2023 (Set to tumble: Minnesota)

    The schedule is far more difficult than last year's was and their are many holes to fill on both sides of the ball that were previously filled by very experienced players some of whom are in the NFL. So it is not unreasonable to speculate that the record could be worse this year. It is also pie...

    Lane Kiffin says state of college football is 'a disaster'

    As Murray said in so many words, players are not serfs bound to a master and his land, they are students who have not signed a contract that guarantees a certain term of employment at a certain wage. Coaches leave all the time for what seems to be greener pastures so players should have the same...

    Iowa, Iowa State investigating athletes gambling

    As soon as gambling on college sports became legal it was inevitable that things like this would happen. For example, the NCAA does not have a mandatory injury report like the NFL does. PJ, like many coaches, gives out no or little details about injuries. If I were a whale at betting the Gophers...

    Shama on Fleck: 21 Big Ten wins over four years is the most ever for the football program that began in 1882.

    It all depends on what games are in the sample size. I consider conference games as the only sample with looking at. Division or conference championships could be included.

    Shama on Fleck: 21 Big Ten wins over four years is the most ever for the football program that began in 1882.

    Why the obsession with the past? This year's schedule is a true test of how far MN has progressed under PJ.

    UM v UM Parking Info

    It is my opinion that towing a pontoon decked out in Michigan colors to an MN tailgate lot is overkill and in bad taste. Wearing Michigan colors and a sweatshirt along with a Michigan flag attached to your vehicle would be more than adequate to demonstrate your allegiance.

    Fall practices will begin soon and this prediction drivel based on raw speculation will end.

    Adam Kisaayi Commits to Gophers! (UPDATED 7/13: Adam De-Commits from Gophers)

    Do you really think that a coach who has been repeatedly in the final four would tremble in his boots if a coach who has not even won the weak West in the BIG threatens him?

    Gophers 2023 rushing yard leader will be...

    Inquiring minds ask if the other five are so good why go to the portal for another RB? If the other five are that good but buried in the depth chart will other teams come looking and offer them playing time?

    Halloween game weather

    The weather will be the least of your concerns if you are really bringing a two year old to a three hour game.

    Adam Kisaayi Commits to Gophers! (UPDATED 7/13: Adam De-Commits from Gophers)

    So who made him a better offer? DLs are a very scarce commodity. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

    CFN: Minnesota Golden Gophers College Football Preview 2023: Offense ("Life is going to be much easier with a loaded receiving corps to work with")

    This is the season to see Unicorns and smell roses, so enjoy it before the injury reports come out of the Fall camp and the first bad loss happens.

    Northwestern Fires Pat Fitzgerald

    Unless NWU capitulates to Fitzgerald's demands there will be a law suit and then hear say will be replaced with testimony under oath. If they do capitulate it is evidence their case for firing him was not that solid.

    To help prepare for the arrival of USC Football

    As long as the Song Girls come with the USC FB team I care not a whit about the costumes of the players.

    Based on intel from team sources, here are 10 Big Ten true freshmen in position to be factors this season. (Darius Taylor, MN)

    To beat an already very dead horse some more, the NCAA had its ass burned by the Supreme Court over this issue and is not going to change anything about the portal rules for a long, long time.

    Koi Perich now consensus #1 player in MN

    Does not anyone understand the four-figure rating for any player is based on opinion, not facts? If you pay a dime for 247's numbers, you have been had. 247 is not measuring the speed of light.

    PJ Fleck now is the second most tenured coach in the Big Ten West.

    If the good legacy is lifting the WI curse that is true; if it is competing in the BIG championship game it is a mediocre legacy.
