    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    Excluding covid -- that's my choice, I am going to do that, other people can choose to do what they choose -- the only "first three games" losses Fleck has had are Ohio State and North Carolina twice. That said, if you're being reasonable you have to go first four games for 2021, since that...

    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    Also if that happens it means that Athan just for whatever reason really clicked strongly with Kirk C as QB coach & playcaller, and did not with Harbaugh Jr for whatever reason

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    Winning 10 out of 12 games is a huge deal. Say two easier nonconf "buy" games and one tougher P4 game .. so you either have to go 3-0 or 2-1 and then need 7-2 or 8-1 in conference. I don't see how any Big Ten program at Minnesota's level can get up to that consistently, without a huge increase...

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    Fleck has/is dealing with a few relatively different chapters/eras. The 2017-19 era, then covid year which doesn't even count in my book, then 2021-2023 and ramping up of NIL in recruiting, and now starting in 2024 is almost really a whole new thing with revenue sharing and the new Big Ten. Not...

    Thanks, appreciate it! Guess the spring was all-in on Lindsey, which isn't wrong.

    Anyone? I guess I can go try to find the spring ball thread(s)

    Fleck's Good Wins at Minnesota

    USC last year certainly felt monumental at the time. Especially after the really sad Iowa game two weeks before. Then something clicked and changed at halftime vs Michigan. Almost could have had two top 15 (at the time) ranked wins in a row.

    5 star tackle commits to TTU for 5mil over 3 years

    If they had attempted to do this as a third-party NIL deal in this new system, I believe the new clearinghouse would reject the deal. Because it would be far excessive in value.

    Fleck's bad losses at MN

    The other bummer thing about 2021-23 seasons is that we had an easy West division, probably as easy as it was ever going to get. And all three years we fumbled a chance to win the division, via the games shown above. Which includes 2022 Purdue homecoming for me.

    Fleck's bad losses at MN

    It's all about how you define it (Captain Obvious). My list has probably a slightly wider definition than some above, but the only main one missing is 2019 Wisc. Sorry, can't let that one go. It's not a "bad loss" but it has to be included if you widen the scope to "games you have to win...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Also, didn't the guy who recruited him here leave for Oregon? I might be making that up ...

    The fiasco which is the former Oakland Athletics and their quest for a Las Vegas stadium

    I have no dog in this hunt and if they end up in Vegas that's great. But always seemed like Portland would be a natural place. SEA-POR rivalry strong in other sports (notably MLB, and guessing NBA again once SuperSonics are reborn), so baseball would seem another opportunity.

    Big Ten QB Power Rankings: Post-spring tiers for every B1G QB room (Very worrisome: Minnesota (Drake Lindsey))

    For those of you who followed spring ball this year: how did Dylan Wittke and Jackson Kollock look behind Lindsey? Kollock seems like an intriguing prospect: 6-4, played a large public high school in southern California, leading them to their first CIF title in 60 years as a Soph, started...

    Reusse: Timberwolves owners’ plan for development around a new arena seems like a very suburban idea

    Yep, probably not going to find a more wide open site than Shingle Creek and Bass Lake. Guessing they would practically give it away, if a team was going to build a new arena or stadium there. Only thing would be if Crystal Airport would be an issue, but guessing not. MoA probably makes more...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Not going to speak for SG, but it seems his argument is that he's already excluding @OSU and @Oregon from his prediction, and really just trying to predict the remaining 10 games. Which I think is fair.

    Gophers offer 5 from Fargo-Moorhead area for 2027

    Felt like 5A was loaded last year, lot of teams going into can't remember what week but felt like lot of 6-0 and/or 7-0 teams in top 10

    Yippee, A New, One-Time Transfer Portal Opening…smh

    The Designated thing was supposed to be a way to keep walk-ons on the teams, at the same schools, without getting cut by the new roster limits. That was the whole thing. That's why the House settlement got delayed. So now they're giving them a special transfer window ... to leave those...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Cal is an interesting one. Justin Wilcox will be his 9th season as HC! Had them on a nice upward trajectory to 8-5 with a bowl win in 2019, then covid collapsed. Been a slow crawl back since covid. But last two seasons 6-7 making it to low end bowl games. Probably a make or break year for him...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Our two Minnesota football teams both will have the youngest or near youngest QB's in the league starting. Life's a craps shoot. Do we roll a 7??
