Thanks to the current high rankings of Ohio St, Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin, it looks like Minnesota will be either got to Tampa Bay for the Outback Bowl or in San Diego for the Holiday Bowl. Either one is a fantastic destination. I reviewed 4 different bowl forecasts and three had us...

I understand ABC 2:30 game is 1st pick. What are rules after that. ESPN 11am next? Where does Big Ten network fit? Is there a published order? Sick of 11am games for significant Big Ten games like Iowa, when there is no other high profile games on that day.

I hope Kirk Herstreit is the best forecaster in College football, as he has Minnesota winning the Big Ten 10 West, but losing to Ohio State in the championship game, and lists Gophers as 5th best sleeper team this year. So he's all in with us...

Looking at the schedule no reason we can't start 7-1 next year. With TCU having a down year as is Michigan, I suspect we can split in those games. Not easy but possible. The rest look winnable. Northwestern at home and Illinois/Purdue back on the schedule. It will make the gauntlet at the...

SI just posted the best, most detailed Big Ten division set up yet. Hard to argue with the math, fairness and competitive nature. Take a look. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/stewart_mandel/06/22/expansion-divisions/index.html?eref=sihp

On SI,com they have an early preseason top 25. Gophers play five top 25 teams. #3 Ohio State, #5 Iowa, #9 Wisconsin, #14 Penn State, #20 USC. Good news is 4 of these games are at home, so nice opportunity for an upset (my positive comment) but this has to be the hardest schedule Minnesota...

Bad news. Royston has a compound fracture of his leg, will need a titanium rod inserted during surgery. Details in link http://www.startribune.com/blogs/Gridiron_Gold.html

Today's Rivals review of the Gophers. Pretty spot on. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1065621

Sorry if this has been covered, but why did Donnell Kirkwood go along with James Louis punking the Gopher fans about coming here before signing day? I understand James messing with people, especially when he planned on Ohio State all along.....but why would Donnell play along?

Just maybe the stars are aligned for the gophers. Seantrel's favorite schools were ND, Florida, USC, Ohio State and Gophers. ND fires coach, Florida coach quits (kinda), USC coach heading to the pro's (maybe) which leaves Ohio State and Minnesota. We have a much better chance than before to...

Stewart Mandel's mailbag calling Decker 3rd best receiver in the country. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/stewart_mandel/09/30/mailbag/1.html

Traditionally the spring game is a big recruitment weekend (at most schools). Does anyone have news of what recruits will be in town this weekend? It is hard to manage with the game at St.Thomas, but I'm sure Brewster will make the most of the opportunity
