    Maxwell Janes...not rowing with the team anymore

    Nah, they'd need to drop down to div. 3--in fact they should switch places with St. Thomas. Then we can argue about whether the Gopher/Johnnie game at US Bank would draw more fans than the UST/Purdue game.

    The Athletic: How Minnesota’s 2016 class helped turn the program around

    For me, one of the enduring frustrations about our OLs, going back to Brewster, were the number of false start penalties we took. We seemed to average at least one per game, for teams that were usually ill-suited to convert 1st and 15.

    Mayan Ahanotu entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal

    Official 2021 Gophers Football Recruiting Updates Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos etc

    Depends on if you consider Erdmann or Bartsch. But Ben Bartsch was invited to play, not just observe, at the Senior Bowl. He got hurt during practice so he didnt get to play. https://www.seniorbowl.com/accepted-invites/ Bartsch is listed under OG, rather than OT.

    With respect to the bolded: Huh? In 2018 St. John's made it to the national semifinal game, and Erdmann won the Gagliardi trophy. In 2019, they again made it to the national semifinals, and had a kid invited to play in the Senior Bowl. St. John's hasn't had any recent trouble competing well...

    Way Too Early Top 25

    Pat Forde as Gophers at #11. OSU at 3, PSU at 5. Oddly states that the Gophers "continue to avoid Ohio State and Penn State in cross-divisionsal games."

    Well, by golly, we did end up losing exactly seven guys off the D.

    I'm inclined to agree with you on this. I thought Williamson was pretty good in run support, noticeably so against Auburn. An interesting part, at least to me, of S&P+ is how it addresses "returning production on defense." The stat with the highest correlation is "passes defensed" at 0.381...

    The Thing I Admire Most About Fleck

    "I corrected him." Really. How do you know what the OP's expectations were? You assume a lot. As with others, Fleck didn't dial back my expectations for the first two years.
