    Hold out!! Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee spring practice today. He’s been in conversations with Tennessee about a new contract.

    Has to be satire or malevolent clickbait. No player or his father could be so stupid as to make such a silly, pointless, selfish and dispiriting demand upon his brand new team--one very unlikely to get even a whiff of CFP play.

    Hold out!! Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee spring practice today. He’s been in conversations with Tennessee about a new contract.

    Just looked at 247: shows Iamaleava as 100% to North Carolina (Bill Belichick). Must be ready to pony up $4M. Pretty amazing.

    Six Gophers headed to combine

    Best DE time was posted by James Pearce of Tennessee, who is the same height as Jah but plays 20 pounds lighter. Jah, at 262 instead of 243, is a better choice for pass rush plus run stop.

    Fickell... Extended???

    The rankings I gave are the combined HS and Transfer rankings. The Gophers were 50th in HS recruiting and 22nd in Transfer recruiting, for a combined ranking of 41. Wisconsin was 27th in HS recruiting and 12th in Transfer recruiting for a combined ranking of 25th. Don't get me wrong, I really...

    Big Ten Football: Who is on the hot seat in 2025? (Fickell, Riley, Locksley)

    I don't think WI would go back to Bert. The old saying: If you are wandering in the forest and see the same tree twice, you are lost. Now I could see Iowa (his alma mater) grabbing Bert if and when the Ferentz imperial regime crumbles or is overthrown.

    Which of these looks from Minnesota last season was your favorite?

    This is also my favorite. I'd be more favorably disposed to the "full banana" look if (1) the color were gold instead of yellow and (2) there were more subtle but clearly maroon highlights on the pants and jersey. I like the full yellow look aesthetically, but not metaphorically. Moreover...

    Fickell... Extended???

    Don't know what the contract extension says, but I'll bet you're right. No way Fickell gets extended unless his obscene buyout amount was simultaneously lowered. I will concede this: despite two fairly disappointing, underperforming seasons, Wisconsin just had a very good recruiting class this...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I just went thru the 2025 roster. Only difference from Maxy is that I count 11 not 10 WRs. So, I get current roster at 101. This includes all 15 transfers plus 8 early enrollees. If you add the 14 signed Freshman not yet enrolled, the current, "fully loaded" roster is exactly as Maxy says...

    Gopher 2025 Offensive Line Outlook

    I'll bet both Nathan Roy and Brett Carroll, a couple of big 4* RS Frosh find playing time. I am curious about Aluma Nkele, who transferred in a year ago. He is huge ... listed at 6'8", 390 when he transferred. Plays RT. Had two years of eligibility. Not sure if he had a red shirt year to burn...

    STrib: Gophers football transfer portal impact, Part I: offense

    Brett Carroll is a stud OC we brought in last year from HS. He's huge. If he is ready to takeover at OC (in the coaches' minds), Johnson can be moved elsewhere (OT?). Beers has played a lot. So has Martes. Two of our transfers have a ton of game experience. The other transfer is huge and has a...

    But I think in the Hypothetical Playoffs, 'Bama easily beats all five of those B1G teams ... and plays Ole Miss to a tie.

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    College football is getting close now to the old philosophical argument whether anarchy is unchecked chaos or simply a different form of order.

    New 2025 committ

    Coming out of HS, this guy is listed, per the Gophers, as 5' 9.5" and 210 lbs. Coming out of HS, Mo was listed on 247 at 5'9" 178 lbs. NFL draft records have Mo, after his final year with the Gophers, at 5'8", 203 lbs. This guy, coming out of HS, is a lot more powerfully built than Mo was...
