    Gophers 2026 class remains in the top 20 nationally, will it stay there?

    I like everything that Fleck is doing right now. He is the best coach for a program like Minnesota. He is a great fit for Minnesota. I truly believe the next 5 years will be the best 5 year stretch that Gopher Football has had in my 50 years as a Gopher fan. He is able to get the players...

    Three football coaches Iowa fans love to hate (PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    I do believe Minnesota has closed the gap with Iowa. We will find out how much this season. Minnesota has closed the gap with Wisconsin and should now be favored when we play each other. We still have to prove ourselves vs Iowa. They have been consistently very competitive for several years...

    Will the Minnesota Golden Gophers finally turn some heads in 2025?

    Good point. Maybe Nebraska or Iowa will be ranked by the time we play them.

    Will the Minnesota Golden Gophers finally turn some heads in 2025?

    If we compete well in losses at Ohio State and Oregon, I think we are in the playoffs at 10-2. If we upset Oregon and get beat by Ohio State & Iowa, I don't think we will be in the playoffs at 10-2. It sure would be fun to find out. A lot of things would have to go well for us to be in...

    2025 Big Ten win totals: Projecting the finish for every B1G team (MN: 6.5 wins; Pick: Over 6.5 wins)

    Any thoughts on a handful of key seniors this coming season. Could any of them surprise us and position themselves to become an UDFA? I like the upside of Eastern, Redding and Geers. I don't know anything about our transfers. Marcellus Marshall OL Dylan Ray OL Jameson Geers TE Drew...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    I totally agree with you. I truly believe Fleck looks at Minnesota as a perfect fit for him, his family and his CULTURE. They just built a beautiful home on Lake Minnetonka and he appears to love Minnesota. Just my opinion. I don't believe it's all about money for Fleck. He is taken care...

    Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2025 ("if they win nine games or so, he’ll be on the hunt to move.”)

    A few things pop into my mind. 1. Doesn't our offensive line have a lot of experience via the returners and portal? I get it, it takes time for them to jell and come together as one. 2. Isn't Anthony Smith projected to be our main guy on the D-Line? I would love Jaxon Howard to be the real...

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

    Drake is going to be just fine. He has a great team around him. I believe the Gophers will have a great offensive line which is going to allow them to run the ball. We have great running backs and some great potential in the WR room. If Drake was a true freshman, I would be concerned...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I sure hope Garcia is ok. You could see Ben talking to Garcia the one time out to see if he could finish out the game. Obviously, he was not able to finish due to his injury.

    Colorado coach Deion Sanders again made no recruiting trips: 'I'm not doing that'

    Just curious what people really think of what Deion Sanders is doing at Colorado? This past season, most thought he had the best QB, the best WR and the best CB in all of college football and CO did not make the playoffs. Do I like what he is does for kids? Absolutely. Do I like his...

    Ranking the Head Coaches in the Big Ten (9. PJ Fleck, Minnesota)

    I think Fleck should be at #7 based on what he has done at Minnesota. Hard to argue about the top 3. #4 - #6 is understandable. Just my 2 cents.

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024 football season?

    I would agree with Otis. The Gophers were picked anywhere between 12th and 14th in the Big 10 Preseason polls. I thought they could finish 7-5 and win a bowl game.. They did that but I would give the season a B due to missed opportunities. I do believe Fleck is moving the bar and the...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    I think Bryson had 2 years left. I was thinking Gerlach also as a possible fill in for Henderson.

    PJ was hired 8 years ago today. What grade would you give the Fleck era?

    No doubt the best Gopher Football Coach in my 59 years. I have been "all in" with Fleck since he arrived. His life program is more than football. He's changing the lives of a lot of kids and teaching them how to be successful in life. I do believe PJ can get us to the next level. To me the...

    Gophers have nation's longest current bowl winning streak and longest in Big Ten history

    The streak also shows how well PJ is able to build a mentality that whatever bowl game we are in, we are thankful and look at it as a very important opportunity. His teams have always been very well prepared and certainly take advantage of the extra month of practice for more opportunities to...

    Should P.J. Fleck's Gophers have bigger goals (and more accomplishments)? (video)

    I definitely think PJ has the program on the verge of going to the next level. What does that mean? Beating Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa on a consistent basis. Knocking on the door of a possible playoff birth every few years. We have not reached the status of Iowa quite yet, heading that...
