    Dodd: With Big Ten, SEC poised to dominate College Football Playoff bids, NIT-like tournament could offer solution

    Once upon a time, this was the arguement (an expanded tournament) that the NCAA used to NOT have any kind of playoff system - the length of the season. That said, I like the idea and it could be done in a way with the bowl games to give the some extra relevancy. As a sidenote, I don't know that...

    Thamel: Gophers hire new Special Teams Coordinator.

    This was quick. Known for awhile and were sitting on it?

    What grade would you give the 2023 Gophers football season?

    D, and an F if it weren't for Iowa. 7 years in, we have the right to expect better. No capable back-ups, yet we hear about the great recruiting that is going on. Comes a point where the schtick needs to go and between technique and talent, you can knock people off the ball. 1 Good year by TM is...

    Vikings

    Truly - Did anybody expect them to "Try" to win? KO'C knows exactly what he has - a QB mess and a couple drafts worth of talent missing. Surprised they have been this competitive.

    Who is Everyones Other Team?

    1. KState 2. Kansas 3. Millitary Academies I appreciate anybody who has to work hard to establish a football identity. Who would normally want to visit Manhattan, KS or Lawrence on a non-basketball weekend? The work done there, regardless of how long ago it started is still amazing. How anybody...

    RandBall: An NIL 'salary cap' (and floor) for big-time college sports? What do you think?

    Against it - not because it is a bad idea..... More because this just becomes a legalized means by which to have the same kind of recruiting violations schools used to get in trouble for paying players. Who is going to monitor this? College capoligists? Just what the game needs.... How about we...

    Athan visiting Rutgers

    To add to this..... Lets bring up Glen Mason style recruiting.... QB's often are some of the best/smartest athletes on a team. Some of those Rutgers QB's (AK maybe even) dould get moved to other postions.

    STrib: Gophers coach Ben Johnson called the Nebraska win the most important of his career

    Random thought - Throughout history of ANY program, I wonder how many times that Nebraska being named a program defining win has taken place.... I'm guessing oh NONE.....

    AK

    Strib Chip Scoggins: Minnesota QB search twice as tricky, given coach P.J. Fleck’s philosophy

    Hmmm..... Not totally in agreement. Still had Morgan back after 2019 and he and the passing game regressed. The issue at that point was their receivers graduated and they went back to Tresselball. There is more to it than just getting a QB, but you also won't get another decent one unless you...

    Strib Chip Scoggins: Minnesota QB search twice as tricky, given coach P.J. Fleck’s philosophy

    Not that. More the "We will attract a QB and then not trust his abilities, settling for Tresselball again". There come's a point where we will have very limited ability to recruit QBs because they arent trusted to handle the offense.

    Strib Chip Scoggins: Minnesota QB search twice as tricky, given coach P.J. Fleck’s philosophy

    Excited by this but it only works if we lose some of the predictability and become a little more aggressive with our offense. PJ needs to hit it big on this or else he can count on never getting a playmaker at QB to ever want to come here.

    Gophers offer Wake Forest transfer RB Justice Ellison

    Yep, but for years he was making the rpo look a lot more balanced than we did as a low 3 star. Better coaching?

    Gophers offer Wake Forest transfer RB Justice Ellison

    Cheap. WF is most likely a program like the U and can’t compete in NIL WF also runs RPO - a little better than we could do with Hartmann back there.

    Should PJ and staff be looking for a TE in the portal?

    Kind of a mobius loop because BSF didnt do anything to help his cause, but you only go looking for one if you are actually going to use the position. Needs to be some re-definition of what the offense is trying to do based upon the QB “Get”.

    What Should the Gophers Strategy be for QB in the Transfer Portal?

    The problem is if you want a playmaker, he actually needs to be given the freedom to make plays. What is going to be the tradeoff to bring in a capable QB? I see this as being a HUGE problem for them. Even when TM was here, he was there to manage the offense. Rarely was he asked to make plays...

    What Should the Gophers Strategy be for QB in the Transfer Portal?

    Even at his age, I'll take Ricky..... Can't go wrong. Just need to play Michigan.....

    The State of the Program

    The problem is that Fleck never allows his QBs to run.
