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...

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...

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...

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...

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.)...

Best Team in the West = Minnesota They easily have the most questions answered as far as total team. Key returners coming back and new starters showed competency when they got playing time. Team that wins the West - Anyone's guess Wisconsin - with new coach, new talent and returning...

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.

TE is about being able to use your body to consistently create space so you can catch the ball. BSF has the athletic ability to create space. What he has lacked is the understanding of the game to do this consistently. While the offense might be partially to blame, I do think he needs to be...

If he has a great year and looks like a top 5 QB for the 2025 draft we had a great year and unless CrAB was the big reason why (meaning his only WR is leaving) there really is no reason to leave. QB's leave because they don't want to have the year Jordon Love had after his WR's left. The big...

The question is recruiting about the rankings or is recruiting about fielding a strong team? We have been fielding a strong team year after year with the big weaknesses being in recruiting WR (2020-2022 production). Which is the one place I would think he would excel considering his background...

What Brown did here was a necessary swipe at the U, even though he may not feel that way. With his audience he can's start with "we have a tough non-conference schedule, we play MN." His audience view the B1G as inferior to southern football. They would think the other two teams are better...

At this point in the Fleck era we are a top #45 recruiting team and a top #30 on the field program. I will take that over being at top #60 recruiting program with a top #50 football team. With Fleck constantly producing NFL level talent we will continue to recruit good, but not great. We will...

I only got to watch a few series, but was amazed at how much of an impact he seemed to have on play after play. Hope it leads to Rush getting drafted. However, if he doesn't get drafted it solidifies him as a high priority undrafted DE.

I came to this thread about ready to go off on the number of posters who are obsessed with WI and pretend the world is collapsing on us. Glad to see its just about a reminder of why culture matters. It is not to say you can't produce a few bad eggs here and there. However, the good will and...

Fickell is a great hire if it works out. If he can attract high end skilled position talent to WI and maintain that OL and defense, WI will go next level. However, I would say it is just as likely that he hits with a few positions and misses with others. Then the results will be a middling...

I am amazed at how WI is getting so much love from the predictions. They don't have a WR, the OL was suspect last year and they while QB will be better, they are losing a ton on defense. I realize Fickell will be adding a lot of transfer, but getting them to gel in year 0 is hard. I don't...

Will Morgan be 2023's Brock Purdy

There is so much we can't control - injuries, young adults not showing up to play, freak plays that cost us a game that we really were the better team. So not going to discuss wins and losses. What I want to see in 2023: 1.) An offense that keeps defenses on their toes. It has a great...

All national and even B1G pundits will see is we lost Morgan and Mo, who are the only FB players they know or care about. They won't see we have a starting QB who proved to be as good, with a higher ceiling than Morgan. They won't see the talent returning on the D side of the ball. They...

The hiring of Ben Johnson is consistent with the type of coaches Coyle likes to hire. People who are deeply committed to the U and seem to have the skills and ability to build something. He is willing to take a risk and take a big leap, if it means there is the potential of a big reward...
