    Minnesota currently has five composite 4-stars committed to their 2026 class

    My recollection is they usually only have one or two. https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/season/2026-football/commits/?rankings=composite Aaden Aytch was an unknown that we got to early, but is getting a lot of attention now with a composite of 0.9228. Can we hang on to this guy from...

    If the blue bloods left for a "super league", who would be hurt more, them or the also-rans like us?

    I probably listen to too many national podcasts that say teams like the Gophers are begging to be kept in the Big Ten and will do whatever Michigan, Ohio State, USC and the others tell us to do. I hope that's not true. It sure isn't true for me. I'll always be a Gopher fan. I don't care if...

    6-3 including 4-2 in B1G! I got a kick out of Ryan Burns' "Go find joy" rant!

    Our defense has potential next year - Perich, Brown, Kingsbury, Karmo, etc.

    Sometimes it's tough to watch this Gophers team when they struggle lining up enough high quality athletes, but there seems to be reason for hope. - Watching Koi make up all the ground running that RB down from behind was fun even if the guy did gain 71 yards. It was also fun watching him play...

    In hindsight, this outcome is not that surprising. This is Mark Gronowski's sixth year as a starting college QB.

    I must say, I'm glad I went and worked in my yard after we fell behind 31-0 or I'd probably be just as worked up as the rest of you. I feel better today because I was actually productive yesterday and have some perspective. Let me point out a few things after going back and watching the rest...

    This Gophers team is worse than last year. Next year's team will be better. Agree or disagree?

    I don't think we'll see many Gophers at all getting drafted or picked up as UDFAs this year. Last year, we had quite a few. The large majority of our best players will be coming back so we should be better next year. The only player that has a shot at being drafted in 2026 right now would be...

    A cautionary tale that could help the Gophers: Oregon RB transfer Makhi Hughes to redshirt after 4 games

    It doesn't always work out when you use the portal to transfer to a blueblood. Sometimes their five-star recruit is better than you right out of the gate. Maybe Hughes should have gone to a program like the U of M where he would be more likely to be lead back or at least split carries. Now...

    SEC OVERHYPED ALERT!

    Alabama & Maryland beat Wisconsin by similar scores. Alabama with one bad loss to Florida State is 10 while Maryland is undefeated and unranked. I know Alabama just beat Georgia, but we only THINK Georgia is good. It's too early to really know. Florida State barley loses to a one loss...

    Play Koi Perich and John Nestor at corner against Rutgers' tall receivers?

    Just having some fun here, but not outside the realm of possibility, right? Nestor already starts at corner for us and the word seems to be people are concerned about his speed and quickness when matching up against some of the B1G's best, but he's tailor made for tall, physical receivers...

    Oregon Ducks Head Coach Dan Lanning speaks on Charlie Kirk and America’s Current State

    I was listening to a podcast recently and they mentioned how impressed they were by this statement by Dan Lanning. I am not posting this to get a political discussion started and I hope I don't regret posting this at all. There are other threads for political discussion so please take your...

    U of M Total Operating Revenue by Sport for 2024 (football is 75%, other 18 sports are 25%)

    I stole this information and link from GopherGrit from the "Scoggins: Mark Coyle" thread. I just thought it was great information many of you would be interested in seeing too. I did not view the whole report and just jumped to the revenue summary page on 29. If we assume "Not Allocated by...

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    https://www.sportico.com/personalities/athletes/2025/shedeur-sanders-nfl-draft-slide-contract-1234850068/ Don't get me wrong, I wish Shedeur nothing but the best. It looks like he's going to have to do it the hard way, relatively speaking, moving forward. A lot of competition to be the Browns...

    Way-too early potential 2025-26 lineup

    I'm relatively new to this board and much more interested in MN basketball now mostly because of the new hire so am really just interested in what you more educated basketball fans think. Here is what I could find on the internet. How good would this lineup be? Way-too early potential 2025-26...

    Has NIL and the portal already ruined March Madness?

    14 out of 16 SEC teams make it and 16 of the 32 teams to make it out of the first round are from the B1G and SEC, eight each? It's also not surprising there were fewer upsets since good players are now just transferring from the lower leagues to get a bag of money from the P2. They should...

    Is it fair that Notre Dame is independent?

    Notre Dame gets $20 million for reaching the championship and keeps it all to itself because it is not in a conference. Ohio State gets the same, but must divide it among all the 18 teams in the conference. For most elite programs, wouldn't being independent generate more income on average...

    Wow! ESPN...I mean ABC taking every opportunity to tell us the B1G is over-rated.

    Gotta love the TV crew for the Notre Dame vs. Indiana game.

    The Golden Years for college football coaching salaries has passed

    For years, coaches, administrators and facilities soaked up all the money that should have been going to college football PLAYERS. As we all predicted, that's changing now...

    Travis Hunter Heisman speech - It's hard to not like this kid.

    Gabe Powers, Ohio State, enters portal and sets three visits - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas State

    Former 4-star, 8th ranked LB from 2022 generated a lot of interest in the portal, but only set three visits. Buried behind two fellow 2022 recruits, 5-stars Sonny Styles & CJ Hicks. Also beat out for playing time by 2023 4-star, Arvell Reese. He was good enough to be on their second string...

    Luke Fickell is in how much trouble?
