Based upon these rankings we are 9th in the B1G and above Iowa and WI, but below NE, WA and USC. Accounting for talent, history and schedule I think this is the most accurate assessment of "chance" that I have seen given to the U of Minn.

This thread is more depressing than the "bad losses" thread because it has been hi-jacked by people who think demanding us to be like Ohio State will actually get us there, or think it adds anything to the conversation. I get hoping for more but and PJ deserves some critique but that is what...

This headline is also true: Men's Football team brings in $40 million of profits to University but only gives Fleck a meager raise. or MN Football coaches still only paid about 15% of revenue that Football makes for the university despite raise. In the end the Star Tribune picked the...

If his dream was to play TE, then us getting Voss is probably going to lean him towards Penn State. However, if he is fine playing LB and then occasionally coming in as a second TE weapon, then I would think the U of M is the place. If picks the U I will be celebrating, but this is also one...

Going to be honest -- seeing Wisconsin having fewer recruits with a lower average rating excites my soul. However, Iowa with four 4* recruits and an average ranking of 88.54 doesn't make me feel like our class is blowing them out of the water. Either way it is good to see how good we are...

In the end Fleck seems to be the same pre NIL and post. He did not sell out his culture for stars who would take a check. He is using NIL to enhance his culture and his culture is bound to attract more $$$ if he can show he can win at a high level. People love a program that develops young...

Mater Dei plays close to a college schedule. So while he has elite talent there is a good chance he will also be seeing D1 linemen, CB's and LB's on a weekly basis. He won't be throwing to WR's he have no one around them for 5 yds. While i am sure it will still be easier than at most places...

No problem with a hat ceremony. Just don't put our hat on and the flip it to Alabama, like kid did with the Illinois via Nebraska.

ANT would have been a father at 5/6 (yes I get your sarcasm but felt the need to Mansplain on Fathers Day) - which at the rate he is going it may have been a possibility. Probably a long lost brother who is attending school here so they can connect. That's the theory I am going with. At the...

Time for Wisconsin to give him another extension, to show their commitment in the midst of the subpar results.

Think of where MN stood prior to PJ. While we have not had the wins we would hope to have against Iowa, MN has raised the bar in competing in other ways. We recruit and win recruiting battles against Iowa. We are competitive and with PJ one could argue our future looks much brighter than...

ESPN would love the 4-4-2-2-1 idea if they had the B1G contract. They have the SEC contract and know they can influence AP polling and coaches polling enough to make sure that the SEC has 5-6 schools in each year if they can limit the other conferences to 1 auto bid each year. The BIG-12 and...

Talking about a great cultural fit for Malachi. I knew he was a great athlete but did not know the back story. Thanks for sharing. Very excited to see how an off the field cultural match will help him mature into a NFL caliber receiver. The great thing is that even if he never gets to...

The biggest thing about being ranked #18 this time is that normally we are ranked in this spot having 20 commits and everyone else has only 8 commits. Now we are surrounded by programs with the same number of commits and a lot of the big schools have classes that are similar in size. I know...

This is a fair review. Trust in PJ but no data to say he can or cannot compete at this level. I get 4 and 5 star QB's get benefit of doubt but typically people have seen them against top end talent to get the 4 and 5 star. Lindsay has a lot to prove. As Gophers fan we know 3 weeks in he...

My guess is after another successful season Fleck will look for jobs, not to actually leave, but to propel the admiration to make deeper commitments to football. If they don't dig deeper then he might leave, but I think it will be up to the admin to keep him hear. I truly believe Fleck want...

I went through and read the other comments for other coaches and going to be honest -- this comment is probably the biggest amount of "shade" someone threw onto someone else. While most comments seemed complimentary with the occasional slight, this one was the only "aggressive" slight in the...

I am so thankful Urban and I see eye to eye - 5 B1G schools have a shot at the playoffs - OSU, Oregon, Penn State, Illinois and Minnesota. I would add Michigan, Indiana and Iowa as outside shot candidates.

Reasons for Optimism: Minnesota brought in an experienced backup that many considered to be not great, but a serviceable QB with P4 experience who could not last in our QB room. Plus, during the Spring transfer portal we actually brought in a handful of quality transfers, meaning we had the...
