Go Gophers!!

Per Tanick: Fleck deemed the success of Indiana University, college football’s all-time most losing dormant, as an undefeated national championship this year “the greatest turnaround of an athletic team of all time” and “the greatest sports achievement in our lifetime.” While the Gophers are...

Per Tanick: Fleck said that “every player on the team” has a contract, renewable or terminable each year, and most of them have agents as well. This fluidity is unlike the past when most recruited players were guaranteed four- or five-year scholarships, but now can be dismissed or voluntarily...

Per Goodman: The Field of 68 will unveil a series through January in which we’ll rank the jobs in every league from top to bottom – and will do it by anonymously polling veteran coaches (head coaches and assistants) in each conference. There are no specific parameters. Each coach was able to...

Our group has been waiting for this game since the P12 schools were added! The last weekend of September couldn’t be a better weekend for it! So pumped. Our group booked flights and hotels tonight! Every Gopher fan I know that travels to games is planning on going to this one. It should be a...

Per Skor North: The Minnesota Gophers men’s basketball team continued their biggest slide so far of the 2025/2026 season as losers of now five games in a row after falling to Nebraska on Saturday. The Gophers do continue to play hard and competitive, so that’s a good thing. How does year one of...

Per CBS: North Carolina Bill Belichick: D No hire was more hyped and failed worse than Bill Belichick in 2025. There was so much buzz leading up to the Tar Heels' season debut which got prime-time national TV coverage and had program celebrities Michael Jordan and Lawrence Taylor in...

Per ITH: 13. Minnesota (10-10, 3-6) A 3-1 start to Big Ten play for Niko Medved and the Gophers is now a distant memory. Minnesota has lost five in a row, including three at Williams Arena in that stretch. Minnesota has a thin rotation and fatigue could be a real problem in the back half of...

Per Chip: Minnesota bound A call from new Wolves owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez stirred a new adventure for the family outside the cocoon they enjoyed in Florida. Caldwell had reached the pinnacle in the NHL and worked for an owner who treated like him a son. He found the NBA’s global...

Per Tony: Final grade The Gophers had a busy offseason. There were plenty of moves to like, but also some to question. Overall, it's hard not to think P.J. Fleck improved Minnesota's outlook for 2026. There's still plenty of room to grow, but there's plenty to like. Grade: B+...

Per Chip: Subtlety isn’t Tim Connelly’s style as a deal maker. The Timberwolves president typically makes the biggest splash possible when tinkering with the roster. Something less seismic is a likelier outcome this time with the NBA trade deadline two weeks away, but sitting inactive cannot...

Per Football Scoop: Air Force's Troy Calhoun slides up to No. 2 as he heads into Year 19 in Colorado Springs, and Clemson's Dabo Swinney is now No. 3. And pushing off Penn State's advances was great for Kalani Sitake's standing here -- he's now in the top-10 as he, Kirby Smart and PJ Fleck head...

Per ESPN: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2026 starter: Drake Lindsey, redshirt sophomore Why he'll start: Rather than go back to the portal to replace 2024 starter Max Brosmer, Minnesota committed to a homegrown quarterback in Lindsey as a long-term solution. After redshirting in 2024, Lindsey...

There's been quite a bit of intrigue on Maple Grove big man Jack Thelen who is 7-1 and projected to be 7-2. He already has D1 offers and it will be interesting to see if he gets high major and if so, gotta think Gophers will take a flyer on him if he continues to progress. Big article on him in...

Per Jon K: One week ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves were flying high after a dominant win over the Milwaukee Bucks. They were playing without Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert, and they thrashed the Bucks on the strength of superior efforts from bench players Bones Hyland and Joan Beringer. They...

Per Scott: But Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti doesn’t avoid the spotlight and doesn’t mince words about his team and the conference. Not only has the Big Ten won the last three national titles, but six of its members have reached, at least, the semifinals within the last three seasons, with...

Per Bundy: Minnesota (8-5 in 2025) While the Golden Gophers haven't necessarily been a doormat or anywhere near the level of bad Indiana was prior to the Cignetti era, they haven't really risen to a championship caliber. Their best season under head coach P.J. Fleck was in 2019 when Minnesota...

Per Craig: Ben Williams knows the impact one person can make in the lives of others. He's lived that experience as a recipient of a kidney donation and as one who has provided care for others experiencing kidney health problems. "I haven't had any bad situations, no rejection periods,"...

Howl Wolves!!

Per ESPN: Twenty men have been charged in a point-shaving scheme involving more than 39 college basketball players on more than 17 NCAA Division I teams, leading to more than 29 games being fixed, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania...
