    ESPN: College Football Future Power Rankings through 2027 (28. Minnesota)

    I think a lot of the hype around Drake is well deserved, with some of the new pieces at WR and also a more experienced O-line in front of him. I think you also have to be optimistic about looking at the D-line and the experience at all three levels. However, I don't think we can discount some...

    new name for Barn

    WHAT..... where are you getting your numbers? The health insurers have been getting their ass handed to them the past 2 yrs. I think you must have heard what happened to UCare this past year. Last year, Blue Blue Shield of MN reported a combined operating loss of $353 million on $10.4 billion...

    SEC’s ‘cupcake weekend’ is no more

    Well, Minn will have a front row seat in the B1G vs SEC schedule argument in Week 2, as we know they will face Miss St. Looking at last year's results for the SEC, Minn would essentially be Tenn or Missouri based on records. That said, we are going to have to hold up our end in this argument...

    Inside the Hall: 2026-27 Big Ten offseason at a glance: Minnesota Golden Gophers

    Well, that wouldn't fit with BTN's narrative of pumping up their list of designated Blue Bloods at the top of their tiered list. You're only granted the right to use the injury excuse if you're one of the designated top teams going into the season. Then if you have an off-season performance wise...

    We've got Grey Duck beer sales for NIL, meanwhile...University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million

    I worked for a mid-size corp that was purchased by a NY Private Equity firm and those people don't make a $500M investment and truly have a limited say in how things are run. In my company's case, we would have increased annual sales of 9%, but the firm had projected 10%, and they would lay off...

    Interesting New Hire at LSU, as Ed Orgeron returns on a Special Assistant Contract reportedly Worth $100,000.

    I know some people really love certain places they have been, but you really need to swallow a little pride when you go back to a place where you won a Natty and were making $9M a year, so basically the CEO of the program. Now you're going to walk the halls of the same football facility as an...

    Iowa State AD’s frustration with Big Ten, SEC boils over: ‘Let ’em break away’

    He's an idiot if he believes that's true and it would solve any of his school's problems. Not to mention, he's in the same conference as Texas Tech, which is the poster child for the NIL era and an attempt to buy a CFP championship.

    Newsflash: Fran McCaffery (and his wife) are terrible people

    Lincoln, Nebraska sports radio host: "PJ (Fleck) owns Nebraska... PJ's the man."

    Maybe that's why they're warming up to PJ. Isn't that kind of close to his personal tagline, "Honestly, I'm not for everyone."

    Four Commits from Moorhead with the new commitment of CB Zac Walker

    Well, this is at least one MN school that put four players in the P5 (at that time) from one Minn school, as they were a powerhouse at that time, with another school having 4 players that could have went to the P5. According to Ryan Burns: You'd have to go all the way to 2008, when...

    Four Commits from Moorhead with the new commitment of CB Zac Walker

    According to this Ryan Burns article the 10.57 time is no fluke, as he's run 10.63 on three separate occassions. So, I'd say he's backed it up. https://247sports.com/college/minnesota/article/minnesota-gopher-football-recruiting-commitment-moorhead-zak-walker-285040331/

    Lincoln, Nebraska sports radio host: "PJ (Fleck) owns Nebraska... PJ's the man."

    Yeah.... a slight lack of self-awareness. This is from a state where the state's tourism board setup a website promoting "Tanking," where they ride down rivers in empty cattle water tanks as a pastime. Hard to believe: https://visitnebraska.com/sports-adventure/tanking This is the best thing...

    Two more Georgia football players arrested for driving violations

    Exactly, in Athens what Drake did was basically considered equivalent to jaywalking.

    Big Ten to distribute historic $1.37 billion in revenue to its 18 members for 2025 fiscal year

    Looking at the Minn financials, the University of Minnesota published its annual NCAA financial disclosures through its athletics website. The FY25 report—titled “Minnesota FY25 NCAA Online Report FINAL 01.14.26” However, looking at the Media Rights numbers, these are actually the FY24 numbers...

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    This would be the equivalent of jaywalking in Athens. If Kirby were asked, he would be like, "Is that even a story?"

    Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Arrested on Underage Drinking, Fake ID Charges

    This will disappear in the legal sense. Dad's attorney will talk to the prosecutor, who will offer something like paying a fine and do 20 hrs community service and it will never go on his record. Done deal.

    Thoughts on 2026?

    Sorry to go back in time a bit, but once bowl season ends, I basically drop all football related content and jump into my hockey season fandom. So, now that Spring practice is over, it was time to take a look at the upcoming season, as I wanted to look at what PJ's final damage was in the portal...

    Post Portal 2025-26 Rankings

    This ranking shows a lot of respect for Coach P's lady Gophers and an expectation that they should have a legit shot at the Elite 8 next year. At the same time, we'll see if they're mentally ready to start the season as one of the hunted. Teams like UCLA, Iowa, and Maryland will be looking up...

    Spring Game

    Yeah, I don't disagree with OL concerns. They really didn't show us much today and we might not have any idea where that line is until after game 1. We'll get the usual coach speak in Fall camp, so I think there will be a lot of question marks until we actually see it on the field.

    Spring Game

    Not super surprised as we weren't going to risk any injury with Darius and the highly touted RB out of TX - Estrada isn't on campus yet. I think with his background, I'd be surprised if PJ gives him a shot at #2 if he looks good this Fall. These are his Senior stats playing for El Paso in the...
