    Medved postgame comments: "Damn it, guys. I am just tired of feeling this way."

    Yeah, some fans want a coach to blow their top and scream at refs but that gets you nowhere.

    Former Gopher HC Lou Holtz in hospice care

    True, but had that one happened it would have been understandable because Mason was never shy about his love for Ohio State. But there have been so many other cases since Holtz's departure where fans would twist themselves into knots worrying about our coach getting stolen away and it never...

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    Yep....more risk in player not panning out or blowing up and leaving but when you don't have the resources you have to do the best you can with what you have available.

    Former Gopher HC Lou Holtz in hospice care

    Holtz's legacy here is the PTSD he caused for the next 40 years as fans worried that any coach who had any level of success was going to be stolen away even though it never happened in football or men's basketball. It would definitely have been interesting to see how things would have gone for...

    Not sure if that is a reflection on the strategy or the person employing the strategy :)

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    The number of high school players that can command big pay for play money is going to be fairly limited. Makes sense that in general transfers would cost more then high school payers because transfers have shown they can play in college.

    This will get you going!

    lol...yeah....Smith already does the short short thing as well. I just think it looks so dumb but clearly players like it I guess because more and more of them are doing it.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT wisconsin IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Leg kick or no leg kick, JCJ was going to get called for a foul based on how he closed out and where he landed after his jump. I didn't notice the leg kick out live but also haven't really looked at replays of that shot.

    Grayson Grove progression

    The free throw thing has to be mental but it is tough to watch. I am actually a little surprised Wisconsin didn't foul him intentionally a little more because he is such a mess at the line right now. But the rest of his game has been a lot of fun to watch and he is developing into a really...

    This will get you going!

    That backfield was special.....so much fun to watch them work. And on a side note....odd watching a highlight video where none of the players are wearing short pants and everyone has knee pads on..... :) (I can't stand the new trend where the pants keep getting shorter and shorter to a...

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    I don't know that anyone will be able to totally drop high school recruiting but Deion Sanders is basically doing this at Colorado. For the upcoming season he has 12 high school commits and 42 transfers. Last year he had 15 high school guys and 34 transfers.

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    I don't really bother trying to compare our situation to places like Oregon because they are completely different (this was true before the big chages of the last few years as well). The reality of college football is that there are going to be the handful of top teams that are competing at a...

    Ranking Minnesota Football’s Toughest Games on the 2026 Schedule

    Not sure I agree with the assessment that this schedule is tougher than last year. 2025 2 nearly certain losses (@OSU and @ Oregon) Our Power 4 non-conf game was on the road and at night on the West Coast @iowa is always a tough game on paper 2026 Assuming Indiana doesn't come back to Earth...

    Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

    So the question is, is this a change in philosophy or just Fleck articulating what our strategy is and has been in regards to high school and the portal? Because if it is business as usual then to this point it has not made us into a feeder program in fact has been just the opposite. Outside...

    I LOVE THIS TEAM

    PG are always in high demand so Asuma will get some interest but with his brother coming here to play baseball he seems like one who is likely to stick around.

    I LOVE THIS TEAM

    Some definite question marks with injured guys (Willis, Vaihola, Omot, Stephens, Turner) but would assume at least a few of them are back as well. But yeah - top priority needs to be making sure JCJ, Asuma, Grove, Shinholster, and Durkin all come back to build on all the playing time they have...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT wisconsin IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    You forgot - has no depth. On paper we should be getting blown out every night. Frustrating as hell that they keep coming up just short during this stretch but it definitely is not from lack of effort on the part of the players and coaches.

    Fleck on Perich: “we knew during the season that he was leaving”; says he received a $2 million package to join the hugely-funded Ducks

    True but if Oregon was really willing to pay him 2 million I can totally understand why he would take it. With their Nike money, Oregon can overpay for players.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT wisconsin IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    My biggest gripe about the announcing crew last night was that the color commentator kept referring to our jerseys as yellow. I mean I get that there is not a ton of difference between yellow and the gold we use but come on.
