I think it's really hard to predict for a team like the Gophers that is usually like 7-5- or 6-6. If we had this same roster next year I would say we get 8-9 wins but they are losing a lot, on defense particularly. So going to depend a lot on how the transfer portal works out, how the new QB...

I don't think it's quite that simple. Current OC and DC are pretty inexperienced. They look like they are getting paid fair for their level of experience. Maybe they will be due a raise, particularly the DC. Maybe the fault is with not allocating more money for more experienced assistants to be...

OC is only second year. First year DC. Ohio St. has Chip Kelly and I think their DC is like an 8 year vet at DC in Div 1. Michigan has Wink Martindale. Oregon, don't fully get why they're so high. Their coordinators are not big names ore that experienced. Iowa, Lester is an Ex-NFL coach...

Can't really imagine a guy his age and as coarse as he is with people working out well in College football unless he takes a 180 in personality.

Yeah, hopefully the kids and their parents are smart and make a good decision on that. As almost for sure there are going to several of them they wouldn't have a spot for.

No question if he could but I doubt he would.

Not sure how that could work with Southern Mis. They have to have a number of players than Marshall. HC would be unlikely to take the team wholesale over with him.

Do we know how much he's getting though?

Interesting possibility there. Might be better than who's on the roster still has multiple years of eligibillity.

I don't see how BC vs NE is better than the Gophers game. Nebraska and BC were never close to being in the conversation. Gophers at least beat some good teams and made interesting with some others. BC and NE have zero quality wins between them. Even if I wasn't a Gophers fan VT vs MN looks a...

QB is a tough thing in college. Lindsey looks promising but may not be ready but if he doesn't get to play and is riding the pine he might transfer out. So if you bring in another one year QB like say Sluka then you might be better in 2025 but you might lose Lindsey and be looking in the portal...

Yeah, most teams purposely use non-conference as the college equivalent of preseason games. Clemson SMU Oregon Georgia are really the only teams in the running for a playoff spot that scheduled actual good team in the non-conference schedule. Alabama whining about it while playing nobody...

I would say losing to Vanerbilt and Oklahoma alone are two good reasons they shouldn't have made the playoffs. Those were not good teams. If you're a playoff team you can't lose to those two. SMU lost to BYU who is 10-2 and was in contention for a playoff spot and Clemson who made the playoffs...

I don't think Bowl games this level matter as much as others do but I think another win always helps for recruiting purposes. Kids want to play for winners, besides NIL money these days. Now, one bowl game probably doesn't turn the tide of a player signing with you but it adds to the mix. If...

Yeah, with the injury, probably not. Plus there is speculation that he may skyrocket up the draft.

Ersery I could see as he was injured and there's some talk he could go fairly high. I feel like Jackson is one that could benefit from more good games on tape. Not sure if he will be drafted or not but likely late at this point if he is. I think Jackson is one of those WR that's going to go...

The best bowl for those east of us, the COUCH BOWL.

I feel like our guys will all play. The NFL level guys are all the types that could benefit from a good performance in a bowl game. I don't think any of them will drafted so high at this point that they could lose out on a ton of money if they got injured.

Yeah, strength of schedule should matter but winning should matter as much. Some teams do not have the opportunity to schedule as many ranked teams as others do and they shouldn't be punished if they simply don't have the quality in their conference that other do. Also, things shake out...

I don't view VT as an easy win as some here are saying. This Gophers team has had some really good wins this year but also some really bad losses. We're in no position to claim any game an easy win. But if the boys play like they can they should win.
