    Drew Wolitarsky Retires

    I would have never imagined this guy having a decade long pro career after the Gophs. Good for him.

    The next great Fleck team

    I agree in general, but to play Devil's Advocate: First four games, we get an SEC team (albeit Miss State) at home, and a road game at Washington, never an easy place to play. If the team isn't locked in, you risk being 2-2 in your first four. Say we have a clunker in Seattle like we did in...

    The next great Fleck team

    So why are we even here on this forum talking about it? Let's just shut it down. Pointless to even shoot the sh*t about the game we love. Pointless to even speculate. Who cares, right?

    The next great Fleck team

    The fact is that PJ is winning 8 games after we all know we're leaving 2-3 wins on the field. As all of you guys know, the question is how to we bridge that gap and not let those 2-3 wins slip away? I think last year was the most disappointing because aside of Oregon and OSU it was a very...

    Moorhead RB Taye Reich commits to the Gophers.

    Offer list: Kansas State, NDSU, Wiscy, UND, Colorado State. Gophs. This is the type of kid that used to be ignored by the U, go to one of these schools, and kill us in a random September game. This is the culture and program PJ has built. These kids aren't growing up in the dark ages anymore

    Possible Head Coach Candidates for Northern Illinois (Jerry Kill, Vanderbilt)

    Total ego-move and chasing the dragon for Ol' Jer. Would you rather: - Have a comfy, no-pressure role at an SEC program who can actually make move with NIL, and has a fanbase and admin who loves the team because they're just happy to finally win something? - Go back to the MAC, have to be a...

    The Athletic: Grading the Big Ten’s transfer portal classes (Minnesota: B-)

    Jalen Smith is very solid and I hope he takes a big step next year. On paper we have a better WR room than last year and I hope everyone stays healthy. Of course, if we can't run the ball again it doesn't matter how good our WR corps is.

    I’m a fleck guy but

    I've said it a million times but the fact that PJ's program hasn't imploded or at least declined due to the level of coaching attrition he has dealt with is quite amazing. Most head coaches can't endure that.

    The Athletic: Grading the Big Ten’s transfer portal classes (Minnesota: B-)

    This grade goes to an A if our WR corps balls-out and helps Drake take the next step this year. Having a big body like Thompson on the outside could be a real game-changer for us.

    The Athletic: Grading the Big Ten’s transfer portal classes (Minnesota: B-)

    Koi was a playmaker but did he really make our defense better on a down-by-down basis? Was his risk-taking really beneficial in the aggregate? Saying he had a game-winner pick-6 doesn't negate the rest of the downs he played. Saying "he made a few mistakes" is really glossing over the entire...

    Most Underrated Coach in Each Conference (Big Ten: PJ Fleck)

    You're only as good as your staff/coordinators. Big season for Danny Collins

    The most underrated quarterback in each college football conference (Big Ten: Drake Lindsey, MN)

    Yeah. It's not a video game where guys just increase X, Y, Z ratings. He has decent feet for his size, but with his injuries and way he moves he's limited. Also didn't he tear his patellar? You're never the same after that. Mendoza is a better athlete

    Huskers Radio Host: Nebraska should talk to PJ Fleck if things go south with Matt Rhule.

    The only thing the Nebraska job gives you these days are outdated, unrealistic expectations from fans and boosters, 3-4 years of brutal depression and anxiety, rapid aging, an crippling alcoholism

    Detroit's Bowl Game canceled after 29 years

    Yes. This is the one. Great find. Look at what they took from us.

    Detroit's Bowl Game canceled after 29 years

    Maybe this will be the motivation PJ needs to win 10-11 games and get us into the playoffs.

    Detroit's Bowl Game canceled after 29 years

    The Bahamas Bowl closing for good is a crime against humanity. There's a hilarious Reddit post from like 2018-2019 where a guy shares his experience live at the game and it makes you wish your team was there every year. I'll try to find it.

    Shama: Contract Extension for P.J. Fleck Reportedly in the Works

    May I ask why? I don't see any evidence of this. We don't pay our assistants well, we don't have big time donors, we are notoriously hard to recruit for. What PJ has done here is amazing.

    Shama: Contract Extension for P.J. Fleck Reportedly in the Works

    2019 doesn't happen without PJ recruits and guys he brought in as transfers. Yes, that core local MN group that stuck around gets the headlines and rightfully so but you're leaving out huge parts of that story.

    CBS: Big Ten football power rankings 2026 (9. Minnesota; The Golden Gophers are worth keeping an eye on)

    How can you say this but then disagree with me? In 2026 you can have more variance than 2019 and incorporating West coast trips, even if it's at a bad UCLA (who won't be bad this year and are bound to improve) are entirely new variables. Agree to disagree, I think 11 wins in the B1G is harder...
