    3 most overrated Big Ten football coaches ahead of 2024 (3. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    Outside of MN, where people have all kinds of strong opinions on him, do people nationally think of him as anything more than a decent coach? I don't feel like he gets talked about as though he's better than he is. Feel like he's appropriately rated.

    NCAA Basketball: 10 coaches who will face the most pressure entering 2024-25 season (Ben Johnson, Minnesota)

    Tubby made the tournament in 3 of 6 years. If we fire a coach for poor performance, it doesn't seem like that level of performance should be considered so high as to be unattainable and unrealistic.

    Minnesota will host Lindenwood in 2027

    You can throw out all the stars when two juggernauts like Minnesota and Lindenwood meet.

    Unlimited transfer rule is made permanent

    I a I always felt like a poorly-timed NHL strike during my first year of draft eligibility and my inability to navigate the eligibility considerations between NCAA Division 1 and the Major Junior Leagues is the only reason I'm not an aging NHL superstar right now.

    Goodness Gracious. The annual off-season love for Nebraska and doubt in P.J. Fleck continues to impress.

    Tough to fault the pundits for giving Nebraska the benefit of the doubt after the Scott Frost era showed us how resilient of a dynasty powerhouse Nebraska is.

    Another former Gopher signs NFL contract, Gable Steveson now part of Bills Mafia

    I'm assuming if he makes it, there will be an argument on this board about whether Kill/Claeys or Fleck gets credit for turning him into an NFLer.

    Unlimited transfer rule is made permanent

    For the sports like hockey and basketball, that straddle the two semesters, does this mean that a star player on a team that as a disappointing start to the season transfer to a contender at the semester break?

    B10 Coaches talk anonymously about other B10 Coaches.

    I've said it before, if the outcome of a coaching hire is that they are so successful they get hired away by a top tier program, I'll take that.

    STrib: Gophers chase their NIL version of FedEx's $25 million gift to Memphis

    What if we hired a director-level executive to run the department? This person could, in addition to their other duties, be responsible for overseeing the public relations efforts of the department and cultivating relationships with potential partners? That sounds like an idea that might be...

    Cam Christie is entering the Transfer Portal

    It's weird how hockey and hoops seem to be going in opposite directions in that. I remember the year Okposo left mid-season to go to Bridgeport (the Islanders AHL affiliate). At that time, if memory serves, the New York GM made some comments about wanting to get him in their minor league...

    Potential Non-Conference Tournaments for Gophers

    Glad we found a tournament to play I'm. I was getting nervous we wouldn't be invited to any of them because, after hearing Coyle speak, i was worried that all of the potential opponents would be afraid of playing us.

    Winfield Jr. becomes highest paid DB in NFL History!

    They were saying on Barreiro today that he was something like the 1300th ranked recruit in his class. Great find by our recruiters!

    Peterson: The ceiling for each Big Ten team in 2024 (Minnesota: Ceiling: 8-4)

    Damn it, now that play is bugging me all over again. Rossi had his defense in total disarray, which was inexcusable. But also shocked that PJ, Ia coach who has been clear that he sees no value in saving first half time outs and will call one if the wind shifts or something just doesn't smell...

    Big Ten football coaches who are on the hot seat in the 2024 season (#1. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    Last year was one bad year. PJ had earned some leash, but if we are back to 9-11 win seasons and years like last year are our once-in-a-while down years, he will be fine. If we have another year like last, I think then his sear warms a little as we watch the following year to see if this has...

    Gopher Softball 2024

    This seems to be an epidemic on college softball. The amount of times (both for and against us) this year I see a runner advance to second base on a throw home that wasn't even close to getting the runner is astonishing.

    Gopher Softball 2024

    Since the next batter homered it probably doesn't matter, but it was really demoralizing to watch that runner take 2nd for free in the fifth for no reason other than that we weren't paying attention. For all the talk about difficulty attracting and retaining stars, that is something that it...
