    Jaxon Howard coming back next year.

    Some have said maybe Howard bulks up and plays a little DT. Smith is so big could he do the same? It might help his draft stock if he shows some added versatility. Matt Kingsbury is 6-3/230 as a sophomore and showed some pass rushing chops. Maybe he plays a little DE. Do we have a surprise...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    This is very interesting! PFF of 59.4 is shocking. I did not realize it. SJUgopher's post #527 is also interesting, "I honestly think if he wasn’t who he was, he would’ve lost his starting spot." He might have even had some heat on him from younger guys coming up. On GGR, Burns mentioned...

    Curt Cignetti

    Crown him king if you'd like. I'm not ready yet even if they do win the national title...which I think and hope they do. A lot of their success is him, but it might not be all him. He may have finally gotten a little lucky too - Mendoza is absolutely amazing, mega wealthy donors available to...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    I think you're onto something. He's showing us being a legendary Gopher was not that important to him. It was just important to us. A lot of people worshiped him and are burning him at the stake now. Maybe he never wanted to be worshiped in the first place? Burns on the GGR podcast said he...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    I listened to the same podcast. We lost a kid with a lot of potential at a position of strength. Get someone that is 90% of Koi that doesn’t freelance because he knows he can’t get away with it, shore up some weaker areas of the defense, and maybe it’s actually better next year. Another...

    Curt Cignetti

    I agree. Cignetti needs to do this a bit longer before I crown him king. He is obviously an excellent coach! Because he's an excellent coach, he brought many of his best players from JMU to Indiana and kept a lot of their roster and so sort of doubled up for a year on talent. Then the money...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    He has a lot of talent, but definitely some things to clean up. Will that happen in one year with a new program? I guess we'll see. I will miss his chase down tackles from behind. ESPN rates him as the seventh best prospect in the portal. The description makes it obvious they are basing...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    I agree completely. Safety isn't a premium position unless you're just lights out and Koi wasn't. He wasn't enough of a difference maker on offense to make up the difference. We had other more important places to put the money. Teams only have so much to spend. It's just not the same amount...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    I was beating the drum this year for John Nestor to play safety in 2026 if we could shore up our corner position. He's the same size as Koi and is an excellent tackler. Kerry Brown is excellent at the other spot. If we pick up a good corner in the portal, is this all worth it from a money...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I never argued he doesn't look fast on Hudl. I said he looks Koi fast, not 10.4 hundred fast. There is a noticeable visual difference. It's an amazing thing to behold. I don't see it on his Hudl videos. He is rated a mid-3 star and is the 23rd rated player in Missouri. He is the 213th...

    Conference Records in 2025 Bowl Season

    Maybe there still is a P4, not just a P2. Miami beating Ohio State. Utah crushing Nebraska. The SEC losing a bunch of games. Yes, I know opt outs play a big role. Miami's only two losses this year were to ACC teams and they beat two big dogs from the B1G and SEC in the CFP where players...

    SEC Bias: This is a reminder that LSU these last 5 years is the same as Minnesota, just with a lot more AP votes and more FCS wins.

    The more the SEC loses in the bowls, the more this goes away. I think a lot of the AP voters care about this stuff less than we do. They do what's easy. I also think they watch a lot of the bowls so that will heavily influence them going into next year. So much has changed over the last few...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I wonder if that was a relay time? That would make sense to me. In any case, I hope you're right and he can help right away. Based on his Huddle tape, I don't believe it.

    Official Bash SEC Narrative Thread

    So far the SEC is 1-3 vs. the P-4 in bowl games. Missouri lost to Virginia and LSU lost to Houston. Their only P4 win is Alabama over Oklahoma. I wonder if they started scheduling nine conference games because they can't beat other P4 conference teams anymore?😜 The "SEC Just Means More...Or...

    What grade would you give the Gophers in the Rate Bowl win?

    B. I think some people might be underestimating how good the Lobos were and overestimating how good we were this year. As was pointed out, the line was 1.5 points. The Lobos were within one score of Michigan heading into the fourth quarter and lost to them by 14 points. Michigan beat Central...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Really? When did he say that? I've watched a decent number of Huddle videos over the years and when I watched Braiden Stevens, his speed did not look that rare and neither did his wiggle. He outran some kids, but not by a lot. You see a 10.38 reported for him in articles, but when I dug in...

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I totally forgot that we ended the season ranked tenth with a win over Auburn! It helps when we had Ibrahim, Johnson, Bateman, Morgan, and Autman-Bell. Wow! We didn't realize how fortunate we were at the time. We also missed playing top 10 ranked Oregon and Ohio State that year and barely...

    $200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

    I did not know this. Good to know. I played pond hockey with neighborhood kids growing up (mostly before video games took over) and had a great time. It's one of the most fun sports I've ever played even though it was never organized. Hockey people are tight. It seems like a commitment, but...
