    3 Big Ten Football sleeper teams for the 2026 season (Minnesota)

    I like this guy! Didn't know Minnesota returns the seventh-most production in the FBS. That's a good nugget.

    Ranking All 34 Big Ten and SEC Football Coaches

    These rankings are so lazy! They basically look at won-loss and move them a round a little bit. The resources and talent at places like Iowa, Utah & Northwestern are totally different than at Ohio State, Oregon, and USC. Ryan Day and Dan Lanning were coordinators that got their first head...

    ESPN: College Football Future Power Rankings through 2027 (28. Minnesota)

    I agree, but think that's true across most of the B1G now that we can and do raid lower level D-I programs every year. Our team has less holes than it used to, my suspicion is that's true for the majority of the P2. We did have very few players drafted this year and that helped contribute to a...

    Shama: Indiana Football Success Hangs Over Gopher Program

    Having a Heisman Trophy winning QB that was clearly the best QB in the country last year put them over the top. He probably won't have one of them every year. He's a great coach, but he also had some luck fall his way. That's often the case.

    The Athletic: The North Dakota pipeline? Tiny Kindred High is home to 2 blue-chip football recruits

    Starcevic is projected to play H-Back and..., you guessed it, TE at Clemson until he fills out enough to maybe play tackle. I think North Dakota U should do the same with Ethan until he fills out. Has a state ever had all five of their top players play the same position in college? I know you...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Agreed, some of these kids are going to get into financial trouble and be willing to take the risk. Cue organized crime to enter the fray. Once college football isn't seen as a fair way to bet, won't people just bet on other things? There are plenty of sports betting options. Isn't this a...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Right, so why will anyone watch? The WWE already exists for people that like fake sports.

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Wow! GopherTheJugular is really living up to his name! Wouldn't it be more effective to just boycott Texas Tech? If I stop watching college football, it hurts me. If I just stop watching Texas Tech and a bunch of other people do too, it hurts us very little, but them a lot. It also puts...

    Wisconsin - a name, image and likeness bill was signed into law by Gov. Tony Evers that will send $15 million annually to the athletic department

    Should we be surprised at all that they are using fuzzy math to justify the spending? "Part of the argument from McIntosh and lawmakers supporting the bill came from a report from a 2022 marketing report from eConsult Solutions that claimed each UW-Madison football game brings $19 million of...

    With expansion argument brewing, Smart hints at SEC secession

    Isn't this the emptiest of all threats? https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/48892111/with-expansion-argument-brewing-smart-hints-sec-secession If the SEC pulled out, they would only be a regional conference. No one on the national stage would even care about them anymore. I'd...

    I'll say this, Koi is not afraid of competition!

    Carl Williams has had injury problems in college but ran a 10.49 100m in high school. Yikes! And I thought Koi was fast. It will be interesting to see how they line up these chess pieces for 2026. Jett could likely play linebacker or safety, Koi safety or a big nickel/hybrid linebacker role...

    Coach Coldest to Hottest Rankings: Big Ten (14. P.J. Fleck, Minnesota; 2. Luke Fickell, Wisconsin)

    No Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan or Indiana so he's got the schedule to recover. No chance against Notre Dame, likely L's against Penn State (yes, I know they're down), USC, Iowa and...Minnesota!

    How do Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska do this year?

    I've never seen the Gophers as overmatched as they were vs. Iowa last year. It was ugly. Similar to the Gophers having a lot of guys make NFL teams from their 2024 squad, Iowa had seven guys drafted from their 2025 team and another six UDFAs! Yikes!!! Their QB, Mark Gronowski, was VERY...

    Surprise at #4 - CBS Projects Gophers Drake Lindsey to Get Drafted #4 Overall; Greg Johnson 15th

    I think it says a lot that Dante Moore came back for another season. I've never understood why people are so high on him. He has Oregon level talent at wide receiver running open by 5-yards on most plays. How can you really even tell how good he is? Drake Lindsey, on the other hand, is...

    Four Commits from Moorhead with the new commitment of CB Zac Walker

    I always wonder if there was a 10 mph tailwind when they run these times, but he did place 5th as a 10th grader last year at 10.87 so 10.57 this year seems legit and he still has his senior year. Notice last year that he's the only sophomore in the top 9 and trailed the state leaders by a few...

    Fleck: This is still a developmental program. Year nine has nothing to do with it. Every year is its own entity. We lost nine NFL players last year…

    I do not think Maverick Baranowski gets drafted. UDFA at best. I don't think he will test or measure well at all. Lack of speed is a major issue for him. He is an older (redshirt senior), high effort, high intelligence, maxed out college player. He reminds me of his coach, Mariano...

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    Slow news day at ESPN! I can't believe this article made the front page or any page at all. That is literally the most shocking thing to me. Many, MANY, moons ago, I was at a party in a trailer park home and the police busted it. Yeah, I know...high end party. Anyway, it was pretty packed...

    Big Ten Dominates 1st Round of NFL Draft

    The B1G had 10, the SEC 7 and the ACC & Big 12 had 6 each. The big news to me is not just that the SEC has lost ground to the B1G, it's that they appear to have lost ground to the ACC and Big 12. Yes, I understand one year is a very small sample size, This is a shift, however, that will...
