    Shoutout for Coach Debo

    I can see his Gophers career path now: Current: Defensive Line / Newcomer Coordinator / Assistant HC Near future (if the new DC doesn't work out, or leaves for some other reason): Defensive Coordinator / Newcomer Coordinator / Assistant HC Far Future (when Fleck retires, Winston will be the heir...

    JAXON HOWARD A GOPHER!!!

    This is the second instance under Fleck's tenure of a #1 in-state recruit initially choosing a different school after having MN in their final 3, only to transfer home to the Gophers at a later point (Quinn Carroll being the first, though he transferred home as a graduate transfer after 3 years...

    2024 Gold Out / Maroon Out / and Stripe The Bank Games Announced!

    Too late in the year I think. Last year's Maroon out vs Wisconsin didn't look as strong because people where bundled up in winter gear of various colors. Easier to get people to wear specific colors when it's warmer and all they need is a t-shirt of the correct color. Convincing people to buy...

    Potential NFL Kickoff/Onside Kick Rule Changes

    Here's a good video I came across on TikTok explaining the new rules: Overall, I like the change. I think it increases the safety of kickoffs, while also incentivizing actually returning the kick: Kicking team is incentivized to try to land the ball in the "return zone" and have it roll...

    P.J. Fleck and players spring conference.

    This is definitely something that was lacking both with TM and AK. They certainly did occasionally call audibles and change the play at LOS pre-snap, but a lot of those were changes coming from the sidelines and not from the QB. The fact that this is being called out by another player tell me...

    P.J. Fleck and players spring conference.

    New QB, who has starting experience (albeit not in a P5 conference), it's reasonable to think he is able to execute a broader playbook than AK reportedly was able to, so perhaps they want to avoid teams getting an early look at some of the new plays?

    His reason for opting out: Definitely feels to me like he's hoping he can become "the guy" and use that plus the reputation behind the Manning name to negotiate getting a special NIL deal next year that is more money than the blanket deal being offered to all players who opt in. Maybe that's...

    U President Search

    I'm beginning to think Out State Gopher IS Matt Birk.... Didn't he also bring him up in the "If PJ left, who realistically should be on Coyle's immediate call list" thread?

    Out of Country

    I mean, Nebraska played Northwestern in Dublin to kick off the 2022 season. Neither team has a strong tie to Dublin AFAIK (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). I could see the B1G making scheduling an "International" conference game a regular thing, but I could also see them not doing it. I...

    Favorite U of M Fight Song - Non-Rouser Division

    Hey, I'm in this video! Haha. I voted MN March. Hard to beat having a school song written by John Philip Sousa. If I had to rank them all I'd probably do: 1. Rouser 2. MN March 3. Our Minnesota 4. MN Fight 5. Go Gopher Victory Hail MN not included, as it is not a fight song, but it stands on...

    I would be shocked if the game didn't have all the P5(4?) schools. Too many popular schools and rivalries to leave out of the game IMO.

    UCLA hires Foster

    Interesting hire, somewhat telegraphs they didn't have the money to attract an existing HC on their short list. I do see the benefits, at least on the surface, of this hire. Already on the coaching staff, so there is continuity there and may mean less attrition from players transferring out...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    But . . . he has done both of these things . . . just not all at once. Beating Wisconsin: 2018, 2021, 2022 Beating Iowa: 2023 Being better than Wisconsin in the B1G West: 2021, 2022 Being better than Iowa in the B1G West: 2019

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    You got any credible sources for that claim? Or just rumors that he was being considered as a candidate?

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    I said basically the same thing in another thread. He probably looked ahead to 2024 and beyond in the B1G and determined that life would be rough, rough enough he might get fired, and he wanted to get ahead of it. It's easier in the long run to take a demotion on your own terms than it is to...

    Chip Kelly Leaving UCLA

    Maybe he was seeing some writing on the wall about his job? After going 10-21 (6-15 in conference) his first 3 years (2018-2020) at UCLA he seemed to figure it out and went 25-13 (16-11 in conference) the past 3 years. However, his in-conference ranking has trended down sharply the past 3...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    Would PJ jump to a school in the same conference though? That is literally playing the Gophers next year? While I don't personally think he's as caught up with his personal image/brand as some other fans think (and I'm not looking to debate that point), doing that would certainly reflect...

    SEC and BIG Joint Advisory Group

    The NFL plays 5 more games in their regular season though, which makes the impact a single loss has on your overall win % less than it is in college. As well, NFL fans are conditioned to expect some losses during a season. In the NFL, there has only been 1 undefeated season (regular and...
