Bruce Feldman, Stewart Mandel and Ralph Russo's podcast did a draft of Big Ten teams based on the best bets to exceed or fall short of their projected win totals. Gophers, at 5.5, were picked second, with enthusiastic support that we'll exceed that (PJ, Drake and Anthony Smith all get their...

With the 11 seed we’re on a path to play 3 teams we’ve beaten this year (all at home). I’m sure the very short bench will pose a challenge in back-to-back (to back? to back?) games, but let’s keep this entertaining season going!

With Indiana’s win, they break the tie and leave us in sole possession of last place for longest drought since our most recent conference championship (1967).

I'm curious why this program doesn't have a Ring of Honor around The Bank's seating bowl to acknowledge the best of the best to ever play football for the University of Minnesota? We rightfully include our national and Big Ten championship years, but do nothing for the legends. I know there's a...

Rashod gets a 3-year $36.75 million extension with $20M guaranteed. Really great news for him and highly deserved. I hope some of that can come back to DA. 😀 https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-sign-rashod-bateman-to-contract-extension

I don't see this ending well at all. Once open, that's a door the university presidents will never be able to close.

He's been the best Gophers football coach in my nearly 40 years of fandom. He's brought dependability and a youthful energy to the program, producing a single huge season in 2019 (which could've been massively historic if he had been more aggressive at Iowa), some painful, inexplicable losses...

There are deep-pocketed donors for NIL collectives, then there’s the second richest person on earth, combined with the exposure and marketing muscle of Barstool. How the hell can we (or anyone else, frankly) hope to compete with that? College sports is so fucked...

In my lifetime we are 4-43 in the 47 games we’ve played for the Jug. With that level of futility, I’m proposing that even if we lose against Michigan we walk away with a trophy that represents the near hopelessness of the “rivalry”: The Beige Consolation Carafe.

Work begins immediately, with the new place expected to be ready for the 2026 season. So our last game in the crappy old Ryan Field will be an all-time horrible loss. I probably should head over there with a local priest to perform an exorcism before they begin construction.

This won't do anything to help their push for 25 a game. Now we really have no excuse for not beating them this year. https://x.com/DavidEickholt/status/1708905662078447955?s=20

Coach Who Should Drive the Bus to Work P.J. Fleck (39), Minnesota. Here’s what Fleck did in the fourth quarter at North Carolina on Saturday while trailing the Tar Heels by 11 points: punted from the North Carolina 43 on fourth-and-9, then punted from the Minnesota 40 on fourth-and-3. At some...

I wanted to pull numbers to understand just how bad this program has been since the turn of the century, so I totaled conference records for every school from 2000-23, and included the number of seasons they finished above .500 and their number of Top 4 finishes. The results for each school are...

Just brutal. 2022-23: 1-8 (Johnson) 2021-22: 1-9 (Johnson) 2020-21: 0-10 (Pitino) 2019-20: 2-8 (Pitino) We're 2-17 (.105) on the road in conference over the last 2 years. We're 2-27 (.069) on the road in conference over the last 3 years (including the last year of Pitino) We're 4-35 (.103) on...

I don’t know the answer, but think it’s an interesting hypothetical. The passing game felt more dynamic today with Athan. I’m not sure Tanner makes some of those big armed throws that put us over the top.
