    In the next expansion wave, B1G should look Southwest before Northwest

    Nothing will happen until the latest TV contract runs down. By then the whole picture may have changed.

    Which current Power 5 head coaches are the best and worst vs. the Top 25? (The Worst: T(9) PJ Fleck – Minnesota – 20% (4-16))

    If PJ has a winning conference record and beats NC this season he will no longer be considered mediocre.

    Mike Harley: It’s time for Gopher football fans to appreciate what Fleck is building

    It seems that right now the college playoffs will take the champions of the so-called power five conferences, two more from the BIG, two more from the SEC, and divide the three remaining three spots between the other conferences and perhaps Notre Dame. I do not think it is unreasonable for fans...

    Trent Dilfer sends stern message to coaches who may try to poach UAB players: 'I'm gonna call your ass out'

    The folks who do not find a home after entering the portal probably were not missed from the teams that they left. I do not know the % but they are the ones without an ounce of sense.

    Trent Dilfer sends stern message to coaches who may try to poach UAB players: 'I'm gonna call your ass out'

    No one with an ounce of sense leaves one job without having another one waiting. I presume most players entering the portal have a certain idea from communications from the target team where they are going to end up and for how much. Having the offended coach yell and scream that a coach poached...

    Nebraska's Matt Rhule or Minnesota's P.J. Fleck? | Benning Bites

    Rhule will have longer to show he can produce a winning conference record in the new, improved BIG than PJ.

    The Best Player on Each Big Ten Team Entering 2023 (Minnesota Golden Gophers; Nathan Boe)

    Pro Football Focus has Gophs in top 25, best in West

    Predicting the future of any team based on new players, new schedule, unknown depth, injuries, etc is not my definition of data-driven. But dream on for this is the season of unbridled optimism.

    Wisconsin football schedule rankings: The most anticipated games of Luke Fickell’s debut (#2. At Minnesota; rivalry "is back and as heated as ever.")

    It is my understanding The Athletic does have a beat writer assigned to MN the way Temple is assigned to WI. I get my subscription as part of The NY Times online subscription but had it before The NY Times acquired The Athletic. Get a trial subscription to see if they cover MN.

    CBS: 2023 Big Ten win totals, odds, picks (Minnesota: 6-6 Overall)

    The opening game against NE may tell more about NE and its new coach than it does about MN who has an established coach and program. MI and OSU will be tough, IA's OC is coaching for his job, and WI has a new coach and new system, success there will depend on the OL being able to sustain the...

    Fact or Fiction: The 2024 class will get Minnesota over the hump

    The Athletic just published what happened to the 2019 Top100 recruits. About half are with the same team, 35 were drafted, 7 signed but were not drafted, and the rest played for different and some multiple teams. With the NIL and the ease of transferring the numbers leaving for other teams will...

    Alabama's Nick Saban irked by 2022 College Football Playoff omission: 'Do you really get the best teams?'

    It may be about time for Saban to retire. His skin is getting thinner and his sense of entitlement is growing.

    Fact or Fiction: The 2024 class will get Minnesota over the hump

    Every BIG team starts the season "competing" for the BIG championship but only two actually play in the championship game. That is a goal that has eluded PJ since he came to MN and if he does it this year given the schedule, it would indeed be a stellar accomplishment. Starting in 2024 it will...

    Nathan Roy Commits to Gophers!

    The Athletic WI beat writer had a story about Roy this AM. Basically, Roy formed the closest attachment with the MN OL coach and that was how he decided to commit to MN. Roy was a west coast kid who moved to WI just a couple of years ago. He seems to be very talented and it is a good get for MN.

    Message Board Genius: This wisconsin fan has the utmost respect for Minnesota and PJ Fleck.

    There is no substitute for experimentation and the experiment is going to start in a few months. Divisions also will end in a year and the usual soft West schedule will be no more.

    Message Board Genius: This wisconsin fan has the utmost respect for Minnesota and PJ Fleck.

    The alternative possibility is not that PJ is such a "right coach" but Chryst was such a wrong coach. But the experiment is being done by removing only one variable. The next few years will be interesting.

    Colorado coach Deion Sanders may need left foot amputated

    Just as there are inherited conditions that prevent the blood from clotting there are conditions that cause too much clotting. There are treatments for both that can ameliorate the condition but not cure it. Arterial clotting is far more dangerous.
