    Tanner’s NFL Journey

    NFL caliber accuracy, touch and timing is the whole reason Morgan stands a chance. His struggle to read a defense, lock in on his first option (he got better, but never got good at this) and lack of upper level athleticism are reasons he probably won't make a roster. I hope he gets on a...

    I think that Fleck would trade his entire starting roster for OSUs second team if you gave him the choice

    PJ says no in a heart beat. The reason is simple. You have a different type of personality who says yes to MN vs. yes to OSU. PJ would be the first person to tell you his job is to recruit someone better than you, regardless of talent. However, as we have seen, for him culture and...

    Reusse: Sept. 28, 1969 - This was the day the Vikings zipped past the Gophers and put them in the rearview mirror which those Gophers now share.

    What happened to Gopher Football: 1.) Other teams across the nation focusing more on recruiting Black Southern athletes and the South themselves opening up to the idea. 2.) An Administration that would not commit the funds necessary to make Gopher Football and sports in general a priority...

    '24 Illinois TE Julian Johnson commits!

    Someone caught the vision of what could be vs. looking at the past and seeing what was done. MN is up and coming. I am so excited about what we are building here with Fleck. This is a solid get, with an already solid class of athletes in place. Keep it coming.

    Iowa, Iowa State investigating athletes gambling

    If I had to guess it was a bunch of Iowa Football players betting the "under."

    Gophers Recruiting CB Avante Dickerson Again Now That He's In Portal

    If I remember right, didn't Ortiz have something to do with him recruiting him to Minnesota. They were both big recruits in the same class. Where did Ortiz end up going?

    Saturday Spring Game Predictions/Thoughts

    Curiosities: 1.) how many throws will go to the RB's. 2.) Overall route design: Will there be more short routes (good indicator they don't think line can defend) vs. longer forming routes like in the past. 3.) How much does Kramer play QB vs. V

    FPI gives Gophers 12.1% chance to win B1G West

    Interesting to see Iowa with better odds to win 6 games and better record, but below us in the rankings. I think 33rd if fair for a pre-season prediction. Can see us going as high as 12 and no lower than 45 for the season.

    Zahir Rainer Commits

    Great get!! With a college that is yearly sending kids to the NFL, why would one not want to be here. The culture isn't for everyone, but for those who understand culture, discipline and standard, this is a great place. We will lose some, but time is a always a great indicator of what we...

    HS Football Update - sort of

    While this may be the "law" there are many schools that don't follow this rule. I know of one S. Metro School that has closed open enrollment, unless your student is gifted and/or has certain other skills that are attractive to them. Then suddenly they have space. They also actively encourage...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2022-23 basketball season?

    A = get to tourney or be on solid on the bubble or recruiting a top 10 program B = having a NIT team, with high growth potential or top 20 C = players develop, plan to stick around - terrible year but a top 20 recruiting year. D = players develop, reason for optimism in year 1 or 2 from now and...

    $4M settlement reached in Iowa football discrimination suit; auditor wants Gary Barta out

    I love the quotes from the coaches in the paper stating how upset they were because they feel the case would have been dismissed. The settlement allows them to say this and save face. If the case goes to court, this is an embarrassment that does not stop for Iowa Football. Iowa fans should be...

    Aaron Philo Commits!!!!

    The culture PJ is creating will win out over time the more NFL talent it produces. The fact it is creating great men, says more about it than anything else. I know college kids are unpredictable as they try and figure things out, but I seriously doubt you will see a recruiting coordinator...

    Aaron Philo Commits!!!!

    If you look at PJ's recruiting record - people he went after and how they turned out, it is rock solid. If PJ likes this kid, I like this kid. I do think with Athan, Knuth and now Philo coming in, that is a great pipeline of QB's (I know we have more, but these 3 seam to be the favorites) to...

    Gophers open as 8 point favorites against Nebraska

    Probably a place where you need to put the money down now to make the bet. Since they need cash now, they make the line a little more lopsided than they should to collect cash from Nebraska fans who will take that bet. Let's face it if MN was +1, it would be ridiculous, but how many MN fans...

    Bishop in the transfer portal

    Things that would make me switch a job: 1.) Bad environment - PJ has created a great culture that develops talent, but if you want to live the party life this isn't a great fit. 2.) Aren't using my gifts and talents - Bishop was being used, and was going to be used, so this isn't it. 3.)...

    Big Game Boomer: Way-Too-Early Big 10 Predictions

    ESPN Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 1: John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota

    11 Gophers drafted in last 3 years and at least 1 player taken in Rd 1 or 2. How many get drafted this year? JMS, Smith, Howden, Ibrahim, Morgan?, Rush? Good thing is that Gophers that have gotten drafted have generally stuck on their NFL rosters.
