Considering that 9 players from last year's team are on a NFL roster and we had a freshman QB with a very good number of young guys gaining experience, I would say 8 wins this season was a good season. I think the bar raises for next season. Probably a tougher schedule overall but we should...

Anthony Smith seems like the type of young man who loves the college experience, loves the Gopher Culture, loves Fleck / coaching staff, loves his teammates and loves college football. Could he make decent money by staying another year? Could he improve his stock by sticking around one more...

Lose to Oregon. Oregon is pretty good. Beat Northwestern in a close game. Northwestern is not terrible. Beat Wisconsin in a dominant way. 8-4 which I believe is a good season with a freshman QB and a good amount of young players. I think next year's schedule is even tougher so...

I think Iowa has a pretty good football team. We will find out how good when they host Oregon after a bye week.

Fleck always states that the trainers will make the decision. But we all know that having a Bye week coming up would allow Darius to rest and make sure he is fine for 3 weeks before Rutgers comes to town. I'm thinking that is a strong possibility and would make total sense. I'm confident in...

With a freshman at QB1, unknowns at the WR and CB position, I really think an 8-4 season in 2025 would be a great season for the Gophers. That would set us up for a break through season in 2026.

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Totally get it. Thank you!

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...

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.

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...
