    Week Two Rankings

    Will TCU fall because of a "poor win"? Will the Gophers get some votes because of a "good loss"? We currently sit in the "Others Receiving Votes" category with 25 votes in the Coaches Poll. I'll show myself out...

    Minnesota Staff Loyalty Spans 141 Years

    Gophers coaching staff is the most tenured staff in the nation, having been together for a combined 141 years Aug. 10, 2015 There is loyalty and then there is loyalty to Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill. The Gopher coaching staff is the most tenured in the nation. The group of Kill’s nine...

    Which Gopher Greats would best help THIS team?

    Thought it would be fun to select a Gopher great from each of the past five decades to help this year's team. Do you keep in mind current roster strengths and weaknesses, or do you just take a "best player available" approach? Personally, I went with a "fill in the gaps" approach based on...

    How hot is your chili?

    Ok, so this phrase is thrown around a lot, so i think it's time to standardize. What should we use for labels? I just threw out these first two to get our juices flowing.

    Honesty in the recruiting process

    I was reading an unrelated (to the Gophers) article about Brady Quinn's experience on draft night. Pretty neat article if you're interested. One excerpt from the article caught my attention: This resonates with what we have heard many Gophers recruits (f-ball and b-ball) over the last few...

    How does a resurgent B1G help the Gophers?

    Harbaugh. Now OSU. Is the basic thought that a rising tide lifts all boats? That recruits not good enough for Michigan or Ohio State but better than we normally get are going to want to come here now because they can play against awesome teams? (Not being passive aggressive... just haven't...

    Citrus Bowl Overall Attendance

    Take a guess... Am I thinking about this correctly? About 9k (max) for each team through university channels. Plus "other" channels. Plus walk-ups, etc... What's your guess for an announced crowd?

    What Major Program Does Kill Want to Emulate Offensively?

    I believe in Kill and his coaching staff. We have made huge strides since he took over the program. Back-to-back eight win seasons. Four B1G wins last year. Five this year. The list goes on. That said, we have some warts. Every team has warts. Maybe you've perused GopherHole in the last...

    How does the offer process work?

    Ok, so I am curious. Is there an official process for offering a recruit? How do services like 247Sports and Rivals find out about the offers? I am guessing coaches try to do this in person? Maybe not possible all the time? Does the coach have to go through the college/university so an...

    A visual look at the BIG FIVE conferences and where MN stands...

    I used the Sept 27 Sagarin rankings. Teams in green are currently ranked ahead of us. Teams in red are currently ranked behind us. Notes: Of course, the Sagarin rankings aren't perfect, just a proxy. If you buy into these rankings, then there is no doubt that Big Five have separated...

    Will the TCU loss sting less as the year progresses?

    So TCU took care of business in convincing fashion against an inferior opponent. TCU 56, SMU 0 600+ yards of offense. They are climbing the power rankings of the Big 12. Who thinks this loss will hurt less at the end of the year? Let's see how they do first against some better BIG 12 teams.
