    Fleck doesn't think last year's fair catch fiasco adds any juice to Iowa showdown

    I always find it interesting when you see fans who seem to think the internal and external messages are identical. It is a rivalry game....the coaches and players will be locked in.

    Week 3 Big Ten Power Rankings

    The top couple teams are pretty easy to rank, the bottom teams are also pretty clear....the middle as usual is a jumbled mess and you could really move most of those teams up or down a handful of spots without much difficulty. Tough to really know where teams are at because most haven't been...

    Breaking: Iowa Favored by 2.5 Points Over Gophers at Minnesota ** UPDATE ** Iowa By 3 Now **

    Early season stats are tricky because they are really dependent on who a team has played. I wouldn't be shocked if Iowa's run D is tough but it also feels like they have taken a step back on defense and special teams and are not nearly as dominant in those two phases as they have been in recent...

    Gophers PJ Fleck 1-6 Against Iowa

    It is frustrating that the record against Iowa is what it is because it obscures the fact that this series has been super competitive in recent years with all the games coming down to a play or two here or there that could have shifted the outcome. Unfortunately we came up on the short end in...

    Breaking: Iowa Favored by 2.5 Points Over Gophers at Minnesota ** UPDATE ** Iowa By 3 Now **

    Not in the slightest.....but it is a very winnable game if we play well.

    Say something nice about Iowa this week.

    The State - My mom is from there and it was fun to go to Grandma's house as a kid. The Team - Hard Pass.

    Breaking: Iowa Favored by 2.5 Points Over Gophers at Minnesota ** UPDATE ** Iowa By 3 Now **

    Iowa was down 10-14 at halftime.....to Troy. They wore Troy down and pulled away in the second half but Iowa's offense is not fixed.....better than the garbage they were the last few years but still leaves a lot to be desired. As for Kaleb Johnson.....he is a good RB but we did good against...

    Gophers football: Big injury concern looms going into Iowa rivalry game

    If there is a game we can probably get by without him it is this one. Will need him for USC and to a lesser degree Michigan so hopefully nothing major.

    Won’t be surprised if that lines moves to favor us by game time.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Dominate Nevada

    Players still play 4-5 years they just do it for multiple schools so there is no point saving a year of eligibility on a player you won’t benefit from.

    MN, IA, WIS - all 2-1 but in very different places.

    All 3 played 1 power 4 team and 2 lesser teams. All 3 have the same records, but they are not all in the same place heading into conference play. Iowa - lost to their rival and was down at halftime against Troy at home. Offense is better but still leaves a lot to be desired and defense is not...

    Redshirts are not important anymore, especially for QBs.

    Locke is not good. If Van Dyke is done Wisconsin is screwed.

    Definitely doesn't feel like there is a dominant team in 6A right now.

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    Have now seen Lakeville North and Eagan up close and Eagan was way more impressive than North. I don't think Eagan can throw but their offense is really tough to stop and their QB is a heck of an athlete. Dude is shifty in space and very good at making defenders miss.

    College Football Players Learn an Ugly Truth About Getting Paid

    The issue is how do you get control of things at this point, especially when you know that any sort of control you try to exert is going to be challenged in the courts by the people that want to keep exploiting the current system for every penny they can get. It is clear that the current model...

    Two more Georgia football players arrested for driving violations

    Hey.....they made it over a month with no reported driving incidents....they should be commended for that. :) What a joke.

    College Football Players Learn an Ugly Truth About Getting Paid

    Yep, the concept of NIL is a great thing for college athletes and is probably working pretty much as intended at the non-revenue sport level. At this point I don't know how they solve the issues created in football and basketball with the mess this has all predictably become. It would take...

    I would pull for pretty much any Big Ten team against an SEC team with the notable exceptions of Iowa and Wisconsin. There really is no scenario where I root for either of those teams to win and when they play each other I hope for a 0-0 tie.

    P.J. Fleck on freshman QB Drake Lindsey’s debut: ‘Cool, calm, precise’

    For fans, redshirts are similar to recruiting rankings at this point. Fans used to obsess about both of them, now they are more just something to keep tabs on but really not seen as nearly as important as they used to be. Crazy to think that it wasn't that long ago where you would actually...
