I wouldn’t want to be a dead rat in an exurb or rural area. I like those areas. Just don’t want to be a dead rat, anywhere.

The Gophers have a lot of question marks going into the season. But I’ll definitely take the over on the Gophers’ implied finish at 15th place in the B1G … unless PJ delivers a couple of surprising losses to teams that have no business beating us, as he has in some years … or too many top dogs...

We need a legit one and two. Love Brockington, but to me he appears to be best suited as a third option, ala Chris Autman-Bell when he worked with Bateman and Johnson in 2019. We’ve got a lot of guys who could be one and two: time will tell who steps up. I think WR play will be the critical...

The commenter has to mean Anthony Smith on DL. Huge bonus if Jaxon Howard turns out to be the real deal, but Anthony Smith already is. So is Jalen Logan Redding. i think our defense stacks up with 2019 team, with superior talent in a few places—but CB and LB groups will need some seasoning and...

I'm glad that this year the Gophers start off with two relatively easy (should be, anyway) nonconf opponents. Drake, the new OL and the new WR corps will have some time to acclimate before hitting the road for a tougher game against Cal.

Defense will be better than no. 11, I believe. Offense is a big question mark.Lot more data points after we conclude game 3 at Csl.

And appears to have played only one game, ever, while ranked no. 1. Got ranked, lost next game, finito.

Could really see this kid playing the Henderson hybrid LB/DB spot. We blitzed Henderson a lot. Great if we can keep this recruit committed. Little worried about the money Oregon might offer. Then again, he's a three star and Oregon typically focuses on four stars and fives. Might be a quicker...

Very interesting article. The firing of Haller as AD reduced the football coach's (Smith's) buyout by 50%. Actual numbers? Smith's contract buyout declines from a shockingly low $6M to a miniscule $3M (dead man walking ...). By comparison, Luke Fickell's buyout number at Wisconsin is a little...

This year, I think we'll know a lot about the team after the Cal game--number three on the schedule. Last year, if UNC had been our third rather than first non-conf game, I think we would have beaten them handily. The Rutgers game, fourth on the schedule this year, should also be a big tell. We...

Nebraska, as always, will bring a team loaded with athletic talent. Its 2025 recruiting effort ranked 20th in the nation, with 6 four-stars coming out of HS and 6 more four star transfer players. This "normal" class for the Huskers would be the haul of the century for the Gophers. If the Huskers...

Cal game could be a real inflection point for the 2025 season. Based on recent history, we should beat Cal. And Cal lost a lot of offensive players in the portal. But Cal also had some success in the portal, ... including bringing in a QB from Ohio State, Devin Brown, who was ranked a four star...

This off-putting moment could be the pinnacle of this prematurely-arrogant kid's life. Picking Nebraska shows questionable judgment. Simultaneously crapping on the home state school--which might be a CFP team this year--means that he is living in an alternate reality. Never burn the bridge back...

PJ's successful backs have great vision, instinct, burst and power. This kid might have all that. But rarely have PJ's RBs busted a hole and sprinted 75 yards to a TD, dusting the pursuit. Our backs keep PJ's patient, clock-eating drives alive. Our backs now catch passes and get YAC! Our backs...

Mo Ibrahim had a 4.52 time in the 40, and he was no burner. I like any offer PJ reels in, but this kid is no burner.

I think that with a 105 roster limit, it is tough for a team to carry two freak athlete WR candidates, both of whom are steep development projects for one reason or another. My guess is that Malachi Coleman--perhaps even more of a "freak athlete" than Williams--must be closer to playing, or more...

Interesting article from the Badger Wire (sorry). Not written by AI. Information is current and accurate. You can quibble with the rankings, but one thing is clear: the B1G is LOADED with quality QBs. Not sure I'd put Luke Altmeyer at No. 2. Or that I'd rank Billy Edwards as high (but this is a...

My immediate thought was of Richardson. Undersized but quick, often requiring a double team. Could help the DEs.

I think the mindset is different for top 100 players. They don't want to wait for years for their turn--or to "develop." They'll move to where playing time is virtually guaranteed (or roster gaps effectively make a guarantee). If we had told Koi P that he had to wait two years to see the field...
