    HOMECOMING WEEK! Week 9 Pick'ems

    Nebraska is back...

    Yeah I was going to mention that as well, but I’m glad to see some thinking people on here. It’s a cute line to keep saying “year 0, year 0”, but when you can bring all your good players along PLUS a bunch of others from the portal, it’s really not the same as it was. I think they’re starting...

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    Yeah, I just looked at their schedule and they need to win 3 of Rutgers, Wash, UCLA, Nebraska, ND. I’m guessing they’ll do that, but probably JUST will. Really is crazy how tight the middle of the B1G is this year. Mich, USC, MN, Maryland, Rutgers, Wash, MSU…on and on. Any given Saturday (or...

    Nebraska is back...

    Nebraska has OSU, UCLA, USC, Wisconsin, and Iowa left. I’m guessing they’ll win at least 1 of those to get bowl eligible, but it’s not unthinkable they lose out. Who would’ve predicted that a few weeks ago? On that note, Michigan needs 2 wins against OSU, Oregon, IU, MSU, and NW to get bowl...

    Week 8 Other Games Thread

    “Tier 3” in the B1G is at least 10 teams deep…and it’s crazy to think Michigan and USC are firmly in the middle of it.

    Big Ten analyst Yogi Roth gives this weeks helmet sticker to Greg Harbaugh for outstanding play calling

    Lotta people giving Harbaugh flowers this year. Mentioned multiple times by the crew during the USC game (i.e, “that play is straight out of an NFL playbook” or similar). Derek Burns pointed out the halftime adjustments against UCLA, including using Taylor to draw LBs out of the box and then...

    Week 7 Big Ten Power Rankings

    I’ve been saying it every week, but after Oregon, OSU, PSU, and Iowa, the margin between the rest of the B1G appears to be razor thin. Illinois looked like a bully early in the year and has come back to earth. Ditto Rutgers. Michigan is mortal. Ditto Washington. Indiana might be #5, but I...

    Vannini: The gap between the best CFB teams and the middle-tier teams hasn't been this small in at least a decade and it makes every week a wild ride.

    I dunno. I was actually thinking the other day that it seems like the gap at the very top is the same as always. OSU and Oregon seem head and shoulders above everyone else in the B1G, just like OSU and Mich were last year. Texas seems at another level in the SEC, much like they were in the...

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    Johnson was one of the surprises of Rams camp and got called out by McVay multiple times. Had a really nice week 1 and a decent week 2. I really thought he’d grab a big role with both Puka and Kupp out, but that never materialized for whatever reason. Still grabbing an NFL paycheck though, so...

    Gophers Remaining schedule

    Spot on. Someone can do the stats pretty easily using FPI, but I think 6-6 is most likely followed by 7-5, 5-7, 8-4, 9-3, and 4-8.

    2024 Bowl Projections Tracker

    I had to look up the FIrst Responder’s Bowl since I’m seeing so many projections. It used to be called Heart of Dallas bowl and was affiliated with the B1G. It’s now played at SMU and will be held on 1/3/25. B1G affiliation went away before the most recent contract an last year Texas St...

    Koi Perich is the man

    Did he ask the ref if he was on the line? That’s typically how it goes — turn to the ref, signal you intend to be on the LOS, and you get a yes or no. If he didn’t and was 1.5 yards off, then it absolutely should’ve been a penalty.

    UCLA Wire: Revisiting the PJ Fleck-UCLA coaching rumors

    It was a super disappointing season, and I think Fleck deserves some of the blame…and I won’t begrudge you for assigning him more than I (or others) do. But in retrospect, it’s tough to win games with a pretty awful QB and your top offensive player hurt much of the B1G season. Plus the defense...

    Jah Joyner Appreciation Thread

    Absolute STUD and has been for a while. I agree with Noel that Jah gets held a TON but still has multiple big pressures per game. He’s definitely going to be drawing an NFL check a year from now. Edge players are just so valuable at that level. Let’s enjoy these last 6-7 games with him!

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    He’s not a very good zone RB. He’s a super explosive athlete who hits a hole if it exists, but I just haven’t seen the ability to read interior blocking.

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    For sure. I bet the average yards to convert on those was 3 or less if i had to guess. Really need to find a way to stop the run in the 2nd half.

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Frustrating series of events at the end of the half obviously. Taylor so irresponsible not having two hands on the ball and not knowing when to go down. Blatant hold in front of the head official that isn’t called. Their kicker nails a career long 54 yarder into a swirling wind. Argh. But hey...

    ***OFFICIAL USC AT MINNESOTA MAROON AND GOLD BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I mean I got what they were doing trying to get one first down so USC wouldn’t get the ball back. But then unfortuantely they got the ball back in another way. But yeah I would’ve liked them to go tempo like most of us and just let Brosmer cook.
