    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Started as a freshman at Michigan State and has 3 years to play. Was a high 3* with offers from Ohio State and Penn State during HS recruitment. I don't know about MSU but most of the guys who have started as freshmen at Minnesota have turned out to be NFL level guys. Especially in the...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I'm optimistic on him too but as you mentioned we're a jaded bunch with this archetype. FWIW the Auburn message board I checked out seemed to be bummed to lose him more than any guy they lost so far, and referred to him as a would-be-starter for 2026 for them. They also seemed appalled that he...

    Boom

    Is there anywhere that All 22 film is provided for Gophers or college games? I admit I'm not going to sit and personally watch it all offseason, but in my experience route running and coverages are the aspect of the game that is most different from watching a game on regular TV and being in the...

    Boom

    Glad to have the talent here at a position of need. High end size gives us a different look at WR. I wonder why he wasn't getting much run at Auburn. While in terms of modern football reputation it's a "transfer down" Auburn has had a worse record than the Gophers for each of the last 7...

    All Things 2025/26 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    I'm old enough to remember wisconsin bringing in 4 transfer QBs, then 3 of them obviously don't start, and all 4 of them could barely win a Big Ten game. Or how their 2024 'QB1' played last season at SMU We'll see how long the ODU guy holds that label. But at least they were all rated above...

    # of Open Roster Spots

    I hadn't been watching too closely but this is the first I heard of Fame Ijeboi transferring. That sounds short-sighted on his part. He's the kind of guy who isn't going to get a huge bag or a guaranteed role going to another P4. But he's also got 3 years left to play and he was the team's...

    Division III Indiana-Like Turnaround: River Falls

    I've always wondered what would happen if a team essentially had two offenses, and they would alternate plays. So Unit B runs out there with the play already called and snaps as fast as they can once the whistle blows on Unit A. The units could have very different personnel, QB style, etc...

    Nick Rallis to Gophers?

    His sights may be set higher, but is there a market for him to rise higher in the short term? He was the DC on a team that in 2025 was bad and bad on defense. (they were better on D in his prior years). There's probably not a slot for him in 2026 for a DC role in the NFL. That means either NFL...

    Nick Rallis to Gophers?

    Gopher alum and Twin Cities native Nick Rallis (former Arizona Cardinals DC) is available after the dismissal of HC Jonathan Gannon. Do we think he's got a future in M&G?

    Is this a service academy offense????

    Alabama couldn't stop the run. Indiana's best trait this season has been balance. They can run the ball, play defense, and also have a Heisman winning QB with awesome efficiency. Minnesota will be a service academy offense too (see the Ibrahim and a good OL years) if the other team either...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    When it comes to insanely rich people throwing around money, always bet the over. If a RB is getting paid $2M per year they are going to fight like hell to not go to the NFL, unless they are in that rare air (1 guy every couple years) that gets drafted in the top 15 picks. I've been saying it...

    Javon Tracy coming back next year.

    Good to hear. The team needs the help at WR. Hoping he can be more consistently involved in 2026

    What do we value?

    If you have enough money to spend and are winning titles you don't have to take the sketchy but talented guys. You can have the clean, smart, and 5 star talent guys. I'm fine with the coaches getting fired to achieve this, though I would want to see what PJ could do with the most resources...

    I'll take an even money bet that their coach Eck ends up at a Big Ten program in the next 5 years. Most likely wisconsin, and maybe as soon as 2027. If Fleck ever left he would be a candidate for the Gophers HC job given his success as a HC and deep experience in the Upper Midwest and time...

    They were pretty awesome. Far too many boring red and white teams. They should keep them and make them their everyday set. They should also use the same "Lobos" script on the jersey as the helmet

    Gophers Fans at Bowl Game

    They showed a lot more crowd shots of the New Mexico fans, by a large margin. Doesn't mean there were more of them there, but ESPN was far more focused on them at key moments.

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    There was talk it might not be Michigan, such as Fisch to Michigan and Fleck to Washington. A can lead to B leads to C. But this hire is a dead end for the carousel, for now.

    DL or this list

    I’ve been saying it for several years but we’re going to see the first $100M payroll college football team this decade. Maybe bigger than that. Just insane bottomless money out there in the hands of a small few and zero regulation to stop any of it. If Jared Goff can get paid $45m a year to...
