    Why is nobody talking about the defense?

    I'm frustrated the Gophers lost the opener just like anyone else. There's been endless pixels spilled about a boring, predictable offense, the overall direction of the program, etc. I don't recall seeing a thread about the defense and the new DC, Corey Hetherman. Turning around a defensive...

    Tampa Bay Gopher Game Watch

    Posting this because we had a good group of Tampa Bay Gophers in another unrelated thread a couple months ago. Looks like there's a new Game Watch location - Colony Grill in St. Pete. It was Ferg's last year but I went a couple times and found nobody. Glad to see it looks alive again. Here's...

    Why does everyone make grades now?

    I remember when academic ineligibility was a big part of college sports when I was an 80s kid. Prop 48. 5th year prep schools. Jucos. It was common for teams to lose a key player to class attendance, grades, low test scores, or other academic performance. I can't remember the last time the...

    Hoosiers go with Curt Cignetti from James Madison

    Seems like a really good hire. JMU has been very successful in recent years as they transitioned to FBS. He's also been the head coach at Indiana University before. Division II Indiana (Pennsylvania)...

    Minnesota did not have a RB carry over 21 yards after September 23

    Not a single Gopher RB managed a carry over 21 yards after Darius Taylor got injured on Sept 23 vs Northwestern. Jordan Nubin somehow got a 21 yarder against Ohio State. No other rushes over 19 yards for anyone I can find. That's basically the entire Big Ten season without even a...

    I want to see Cole Kramer

    Not as the starting QB, but as a package QB similar to how he was used the last couple years. Short yardage situations, primarily. Under Fleck the Gophers have had great success with both Kramer and Seth Green in short yardage conversions. Best in the nation once or twice, I believe. The...

    Possible hurricane game vs UNC

    It's very early (13 days out) but forecast models have a major hurricane heading near North Carolina on Friday/Saturday of our game with the Tar Heels. Chapel Hill is well inland, but it could cause the game to be played in heavy rains or wind. It also may affect travel plans for those who are...

    ESPN Pre-season Top 100 Players

    No Gophers listed. Only 3 Big Ten West players made the list. The same number as Kansas had on the list by itself. Yikes. ESPN must have laid off the B1G West beat reporter. 35. JerZhan Newton - Illinois 38. Braelon Allen - Wisconsin 46. Cooper DeJean - Iowa...

    When is the Saudi PIF going to buy a college football team?

    PIF + NIL = final collapse of any sort of amateurism or fairness in CFB. This article talks about the NFL but taking over college football (via a random team or two) would be far cheaper to them, and perhaps more unsettling to the USA...

    Dylan Raiola commits to Georgia over Nebraska

    #1 2024 QB and former OSU commit Dylan Raiola chose Georgia today over Nebraska, where his father is an alum and his uncle is a coach. It's a blow to Nebraska, as they not only lose the #1 QB prospect but also the halo effect it has on the rest of a class.

    Let's have a talk about kickoffs (big analytics surprise)

    I was playing around with the Big Ten team stats now that the regular season is in the books. There were a lot of strong performances around the squad, but one player and one unit stood out head-and-shoulders above all other Big Ten teams. Dragan Kesich was dragon-mode all year long. Just...
