    Official 2025 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Mar is when things start to heat up and June is when it seems like the boat starts getting full. If we are only at 10 recruits committed by the end of June, then we can start saying things have changed. I personally have no problem with pivoting. Our OC and DC are still fairly fresh at doing...

    Amazing defensive backfield we will have with 24 Poelich and this new recruit. Love it.

    Minnesota Golden Gophers Tied for Lowest Win Total in Big Ten With 4.5 Wins Predicted for 2024

    This may turn me into a betting man. I feel confident in a 5 victory season at least.

    Fleck is staying!!!

    Glad he is staying!! Fleck has made the Gophers fun to watch on a consistent basis and has also made the NFL more enjoyable. Every year 3-5 players are making it to the NFL and that will continue to drive talent to the Gophers. I believe he will continue to have breakthrough seasons...

    Rumor: Fleck to be considered for UCLA job.

    PJ leaving makes sense because: 1.) Sold his house last summer. 2.) OC and DC left jobs under PF for equal level jobs in the B1G Ten. 3.) PJ just had his worst year here since year 1. PJ Staying makes sense: 1.) because he is building a new home or has built one - not sure what it is. 2) His...

    When do we start receiving votes in the Top 25 rankings?

    I am just glad we are on the bubble of the bubble. Getting top 25 ranking points doesn't happen unless we beat Purdue, which would take a minor miracle. Otherwise we would have to win 4 of next 5 to get there. I think it will take one more win than one would expect because of how bad the...

    2024 Record prediction

    2024 - (7-5) record because Brosmer gets hurt in the Iowa came and despite winning the game, it forces Lindsey to start. The Freshmen shows potential, but conservative play calling and inconsistency costs us a few games. 2025 - 10-2 - The foundation was laid in 2024 and the experience Lindsey...

    Coyle to be Extended to 2030

    Coyle Report Card: Football = B+ Volleyball = undecided W Basketball = C - right idea, just didn't come to fruition M Basketball = D- should have learned from W-side, but didn;t Hockey = A Wrestling = C Baseball = F - I get Anderson is a legend, but we needed leadership to push him out a few...

    Articles that make me think I could be a College Football Journalist

    Typically - I don't know it is shitty until I ready it. If it is about something I am passionate about I am bound to waste my time. I did think of the "don't care" category and though it would be a brilliant thing to do to articles that don't stack up. I do get they hypocrisy of it all.

    Brevyn Spann-Ford Senior Bowl measurements

    With in inaccuracy of our QB, would have been nice to see him used better this past year. While I do believe a more seasoned OC would have found ways, BSF made it tough to trust in him to much. He seemed to make mistakes when opportunity came his way.

    New Salaries for Coaches

    Reckless Speculation: Fleck has had conversations with Coyle about taking over as AD next year, so Fleck can take his Row the Boat mantra across the MN sport spectrum, focus on leadership/culture, NIL and fundraising. They will use the savings these last few years to make a splash hire in FB.

    Rossi leaves for $1.5 million

    "Joe Rossi, who was hired away from Minnesota as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, leads the way with a three-year deal that will pay him $1.5 million in 2024 and increase by $100,000 each of the following two seasons. Rossi, who spent the last six seasons with the Golden Gophers...

    ESPN used fake names to secure Emmys for ‘College GameDay’ stars

    ESPN is troublesome because of the way they talk about sports. They slant things to contracts they own and big markets. When Alabama and Georgia met in the title game we had a never ending stream of conversation about SEC dominance. When two, 2024 B1G teams meet they didn't mention the...

    Shama: Next Gophers D-Coordinator Could Come from NFL

    Any chance Flores could coach the Vikings and Gophers on defense? Being in the same town would have its benefits - plus it could assist in scouting. Perhaps Bud Grant's son could fill in when there are conflicts. Plus, a little birdie told me that at one time PJ and Flores once ate at the...

    Saturday Tradition: Our way to early 2024 Big Ten Power Rankings (16. Minnesota)

    I can see why one would rank us at #16. It does not seem illogical to think that Rossi was the defense, especially to an outsider. Then you have the whole QB room leave. If you think the defense takes a major downturn and the Offense is one of the worst in the B1G and consider our schedule...

    Was firing Richard Pitino a panic move?

    Pitino was way to early of a hire and he wasn't going to grow up and get better staying here. New Mexico is a perfect place for him to thrive and he is doing it. Ben Johnson was a way to early of a hire and I am not sure if he was to go elsewhere, he would thrive. I thought it was a great...

    Hawaii just sent Minnesota to a bowl game in crazy fashion

    We have very inconsistent and young team. For many of us the disappointment is that we thought Fleck had built something sustainable year in and year out and that Athan was more than he was. We were lucky to beat Nebraska - outplayed Iowa, but almost lost. Then we had two losses that we...

    Describe the Gophers loss to Badgers in 1 sentence

    Team had a lot of question marks going in and not a lot of answers going into next season. What we learned is that we are Jerry Kill level deep (recruiting rankings don't lie). We still are an NFL producing machine, but with NIL the dynamics are changing and not in MN's favor. I love the...

    Are These Big Ten Coaches On The Hot Seat? (MN, Ben Johnson: Hot Seat Status: On Fire)

    Interest has never been lower in Gopher B-ball. Coyle will fire ASAP if momentum does not swing up. He can't afford to go into next year with a basketball program that is dead upon arrival. He will have the new B1G TV money and with no significant movements taking place in any other program...
