    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE, TWO UNDEFEATED BT TEAMS, SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    there's no choice with a 7 man rotation unless you want to play Turner. I guess it would be worth a try.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE, TWO UNDEFEATED BT TEAMS, SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Good half for the guys on the road against one of the very best in the league.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE, TWO UNDEFEATED BT TEAMS, SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They are athletic but they're also very experienced and used to playing with each other. It doesn't hurt to have a 7'4" guy against an undersized team either.

    Big Ten grades for 2025 season: Penn State gets 'F-' for collapse, Indiana earns 'A+' as conference champion

    You can't use the same grading scale for all teams. If you did that, grades would be meaningless to evaluate relative performances because Ohio State would always get an A and Minnesota would usually get a C with an occasional B. This was one of Fleck's lesser teams in terms of talent and...

    He also went to a hoity toity private secondary school, William Penn Charter, one of the oldest secondary schools in the nation. Shinholster of the basketball team went to the same place.

    He's not wrong about the run blocking that year.

    Is 2025 when College Bowls Die?

    Prior to expanding the playoffs to 12 teams, FBS football had something special in the sports world: half of the teams playing in post-season had a chance to win their last game. Traditionally the bowls have just been encores for those teams who finished at least .500 (and occasionally some...

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    All right. I have to like the Full Metal Jacket reference!

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    The fact that we were outscored 125-19 by our three best opponents this season gives me some doubts about that.

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    I'll be happy if we beat one of the better G5 teams while Nebraska gets curb stomped. I think people around here forget that 4 of our 5 conference wins came against teams that combined for a 5-31 conference record.

    It’s Official; Gophers play New Mexico in Rate Bowl

    I think we have to assume that they are a pretty good team. They won at UCLA 35-10. I don't think the Gophers would have beaten them any worse. They lost to Michigan 34-17. Gophers could have lost by that amount too. They won 40-35 at UNLV, a team that finished 10-3.

    2025 Bowl Projection Tracker

    I agree with you but, given this team, I'm fine with them playing a lesser B12 team. Last year's team and this year's team have identical overall and conference records but last year's team seemed like a strong 7-5 while this year's team seems like a weak 7-5.

    Probably, but players who have entered the portal have played in bowls for their current teams before.

    2025 Bowl Projection Tracker

    It's not the worst strategy in the world particularly with this team. The team that went to the Rate Bowl in 2021 was one of Fleck's better teams (6-3 in the conference) and they probably had a weaker opponent than the Gophers will get in this one.

    Actually, it was one year pay for no play. If it was 2-year pay for 1 year play, he would have at least given us something in return.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Certainly not the first time. I don't remember the last time I read one of his posts. He'll continue arguing meaningless points ad nauseum while becoming increasingly overbearing as he goes.

    Former Players Updates

    Ones like this sting the most. Comes here, is injured, doesn't play at all, and then enters the transfer portal the day after Ben's firing is announced. Now he's having a very productive year so far. From the evidence, it seems more likely than not that he could have played last season but...

    Former Players Updates

    You're right. Happened fast. March 13th, 2025: Announcement that Ben was fired March 19th: Mitchell enters transfer portal March 25th: Mitchell commits to Saint Bonaventure He didn't sit in the portal long. He is from the Toronto area and Saint Bonaventure is only a 3.5 hour car ride from...
