Around 2012 or so the Gophers took a transfer kicker from NC State. He was a walk-on at NC State and got a scholarship at Minnesota, so he didn’t have to sit out. Maybe transferring to K State uses up his free transfer, but he gets another one if he leaves his walk on spot for a scholarship...

They're both pretty good at preventing points from being scored.

Top 75 point guard Dellquan Warren decommitted from Rutgers today.

Non-conference games do not affect conference standings, except as maybe like the 8th tiebreaker in a 3-way tie for first place in the division to decide who actually plays in the championship game. Beating Iowa alone in 2021 would have been enough to get us to Indianapolis. Probably affected...

Which power 5’s aren’t listed? I think I see Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers, Cal, Arizona, Washington State, Oregon State, Iowa State, Kansas, BYU, Duke, Syracuse, Virginia, and Wake Forest all missing from the list. Illinois seems like a place you could win at. Solid in...

Bowling Green is Fleck's sole non-conference loss through 6 seasons (though no non-conference games were played in 2020), unless we're putting 2021 Illinois in the same category of loss. We were favored by 30 against Bowling Green and 14 against Illinois that year if I recall correctly. And...

Minnesota was interested in him last offseason, maybe we'll pursue again?

Also this article was written before Caleb Love decommitted from Michigan. Maryland has also since lost a potential starter and brought in a player who had 10 points and 11 fouls last season.

Oh I agree, I think it’s a tough but winnable game, but I’d guess that National Football Prognosticator X thinks we lose that game.

I always knew you were only using Gopherhole as a stepping stone until you got hired away to a better message board. :(

Not sure if you're referring to me here, since my post is the longest one in this thread, but I wasn't calling the writer an idiot. I was saying I understand where he's coming from. If anything I was mostly agreeing with the article. There aren't any long angry rants in this thread. I would...

I really doubt that the Minnesota vs. Bret Bielema record, which features only two games with PJ Fleck as head coach at Minnesota, is affecting national experts' predictions. Minnesota's back to back wins against Wisconsin don't seem to be helping us out; the Badgers have been anointed the Big...

The new coaches always get ranked toward the bottom, except when they don’t apparently. Also reminder that Minnesota tied for 1st place in the Big Ten West in 2019. They have not gone to the Big Ten championship game, but they have tied for 1st in the division.

Maryland just took a player from New Mexico State who had 10 points and 11 fouls last season.

The team is bad, so people are cranky. Personally I usually avoid the board for at least a day or two if not a week after a loss, because the discussions just aren't fun to have. You might be well served avoiding the board until we get another decent transfer commitment, if we get one, or we...

Treyton Thompson was a top 100 recruit at one point. He had offers from Iowa, Oklahoma, and Chris Beard at Texas Tech.

He gave Minnesota an F, Michigan a D, and no one else worse than a C-. Probably not a coincidence that Jamison Battle and Hunter Dickinson are arguably the two best players in the Big Ten who transferred out of their current school. Jamison Battle, who might have been going pro after four...

Even Charles Pride is from New York and was considering mostly east coast schools and Minnesota.

Players certainly wouldn’t choose a school for money, that’s making excuses! The other coaches just suck at recruiting!

It’d be hilarious to see Wisconsin become the new Nebraska where they’re consistently a preseason top 25 team and then fail to make a bowl game, but it feels like our Minnesota bubble here is the only place where there’s even a shred of skepticism surrounding Wisconsin. And the skepticism seems...
