    If you interested in seeing the ending of the Bethel game. Seems like some close calls really helped out their opponent. You can see what they called a hold - it is a shame - had no impact on play. Looks like Bethel kid was helping out and fell down and hence the jersey grab. Most...

    Gophers offer Wisconsin transfer WR Trech Kekahuna

    Great way for Fleck to help them use up their NIL. Send WI trash an offer with conditions, enough for them to post it and then see WI pay out, all to get someone who is no more than a middle of the pack guy.

    Georgia Tech QB Zach Pyron Transfers to Minnesota

    We have a coach in PJ who continues to learn and get better. He knows that he has a good QB in Drake, but also knows he can't afford to trust someone as much as he did AK. When AK faultered there was no viable back up and we were stuck. A really good team made to look average by bad QB...

    For those who watched St. Johns game, what can you tell us about Susquehanna? Curious as they will face Bethel in Quarters.

    CFP Playoff Committee shoehorns in Alabama at the last minute for the second year in a row ... this year with 3 losses...

    Lets be honest - greatness is more about message than about what one actually produces. ESPN/CBS - for years benefited from SEC being marketed as the premier FB conference and the fact they only had to provide in in 1 or 2 games played on their home turf. Fox - gained by having the B1G as #1...

    Has Minnesota Surpassed Wisconsin?

    Minnesota is better as a football team (winning 3 of 4) and we are better at developing talent (more players going to NFL). However, what we lack compared to Wisconsin is a larger national brand. Wisconsin has years of being relevant. It is a assumed they will be a top half B1G team, even...

    Know Your Opponent: Penn State Nittany Lions

    Minnesota will need to create a few turnovers and the OC will need to dial in some correct calls on offense and have the players make plays for us to come out on the right side for this one. In a lot of games my feeling is if Minnesota plays its best it will beat the opponent. For this game...

    PJ - WI Home?

    Wow!! PJ and Heather are interested in Lake homes in the upper Midwest. Maybe they should look at getting one in the Twin Cities (oh thats right they do). I bet next time you are on a flight you will notice Heather watching a show about plastic surgeon in Iowa City and the speculation will...

    Cameron Begalle Commits to Gophers! (UPDATE: 11/13 - Cameron de-commits from MN)

    You win some. You lose some. Sometime you win the ones you lose. Wishing this kid nothing but luck, but hoping the Gophers bring in a transfer gem or a recruit that makes us feel this loss is a win.

    WORST offensive line since....

    I am not an OL expert, but I do wonder if the change in scheme has played a roll in the drop off. It seems like we are more of a pro-style offense and less of a zone blocking RPO team. We know the talent is there for them to create running lanes, I just wonder if all the changes have led to...

    Wisconsin staff member Jack Del Rio arrested early Friday for operating while intoxicated after a car he was driving hit a street sign & broke fence.

    I heard the WI made him resign because he blew under a .20. The WI program wants coaches who can handle their liquor. They feel this may impact them being able to recruit the type of recruits they typically want to bring into the WI program. Coaching requirements: a.) Handle...

    In the first Bether vs. St. Johns game the St. Johns QB made some pin point passes. If he can do the same again St. Johns is going to be hard to beat. Every blitz Bethel did the QB seemed to hit the open man. However, if the QB is not "insane" like he was the first game it should be close...

    Gopher Ranking Thread- Gophers ARE NOW RANKED #25 CFN Poll

    They will be ranked if they beat Rutgers by 2 touchdowns. Win by 3 on a last second field goal on national TV may get you votes in AP and a few more in the coaches, but not enough to get them in top 25 unless everyone in front of them falls apart. Go on NBC and show people you are in a...

    Gophers' Max Brosmer grades as one of the 8 best passing quarterbacks in the country

    AK has arm talent. What he misses is touch and QB IQ. I know he was hurt his senior year in HS and I believe his 1st year here. I am sure he believed playing would help him grow as a player, but what he really needed was a year of being injury free and practicing with the right developmental...

    Gopher Ranking Thread- Gophers ARE NOW RANKED #25 CFN Poll

    Other teams that have 4 game win streaks. 1.) W. Michigan - interesting PJ connection - but we are better than them. 2.) Georgia - OK - you may have me here, but then again they barely beat a not so good Florida team. Still, you are probably correct that MN is not the best 4 win in a row team...

    Gopher Ranking Thread- Gophers ARE NOW RANKED #25 CFN Poll

    Best 4 game win streak team in the country - not 4+ win streak team. Like most of life - interpretation will impact your attitude towards what is being said.

    Is Taylor injured?

    I think he did get hurt - had to sit out a few plays due to a knee to knee collision, but after a few plays off he was back in. I am sure his knee will be sore but more from swelling and bruising that comes with a collision like that. Not a ligment/tear sort of situation (or so I believe)...

    Is it time to admit PJ (and staff) can coach?

    PJ can coach - He has made Minnesota a second tier B1G team and continues to send talent to the NFL in a way that gives us the opportunity to break through. Plus he is ding it in a way that makes our program distinctive (builds community leaders/outstanding young men). He has also been able...

    UVA Tony Bennett to announce his immediate retirement in a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m.

    Why take over at his place his dad coached, when he could come next door and build something up in upper Midwest that can be better than what his dad did.
