Cal football has been losing a lot of players to the portal as it sounds like they are working through some internal struggles. 10 players transferred out this week including the entire RB room. Their QB left for Indiana earlier this offseason. Cal is of course on the 2025 schedule and visits...

I don't know if we should see this as a strong statement for Lindsay or as the staff whiffing on their choice of portal QB this cycle. If he was operating as the #3 it's probably the latter. But he did have some success in ACC competition.

2 mil is a lot for a guy who wasn't even the main option for Syracuse. He was #2 in yards, behind another WR and nearly tied with their tight end. They had a good QB last year and passed a lot. He's a grad transfer so there's not a ton of upside from that. Before that he barely played.

It's good to retire Travis Hunter's number. He's a Heisman winner and also the most significant 2-way player of the modern era. Rashaan Salaam's number is retired at CU and a lot of programs including Minnesota would consider a Heisman worthy of jersey retirement. Bruce Smith's number is...

I don't think it's that deep. If he's not going to play QB he's probably not getting much of any "real NIL" opportunities anywhere. Unless he can build a rare following with social media. If money is his driving consideration it's about who can provide him with the "salary from the program"...

Those are some pants I wear some wild stuff sometimes and started the whole M&G sequined jackets at the Gopher game thing, but that's next level

I can't believe the Big Ten would pass on Stanford and Cal and then go for Utah and ??? Financially, academically, athletically...none of it makes sense.

Can a team be a sleeper favorite?

Why is he raw? He's a 3 year Big Ten starter. He's older than CJ Stroud. Is that on the Gophers or him or just a misconception coaches/scouts have?

I have seen that. Surprised me. Wouldn't that suggest the opposite of what Tice is saying-but-not-saying? That he plays better than he tests athletically? Tice seems to think he's a physical beast who doesn't play as well as he should.

Sounds like he got scammed by someone selling him a stolen truck. https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/tj-finley-arrest-facebook-scam/article_3bb7af75-6f41-4675-b96c-cba1d5a8620c.html

Offensive Line recruiting will be next to the hot dog stand

This is a good place to be a running back. If I were a young RB, I would choose Minnesota over almost any other program that finishes around the same level, and even over some of the most prestigious schools.

I grew up in Izzo's small U.P. hometown and I remember how we were all amazed one of our own got the Michigan State basketball job back in '95. Right before his high school classmate Steve Mariucci got the Cal football and eventually the 49ers job. His family owned a "shoe hospital" in town...

I'm surprised Luke Fickell's contract lets him ride the teacups

Michigan State is in the same sentence and is even more egregious. MSU is currently worse than Minnesota in football and hasn't beaten the Gophers since Conor Rhoda Boat was the QB. Gophers have won the last 2 meetings by a combined 61-19 Sparty has also finished behind Minnesota 5 of the...

I agree, it's certainly the model that's most congruent with today's college football. It also adds less administrative layers. Gerrit Chernoff has had the GM title with the Gophers since 2017. Before the latest round of college GM hires that mean being the salary cap manager for the program...

One thing I find interesting about this news: It sounds like Andrew Luck, GM of Stanford Football, made the decision to fire the coach. This is more in line with what we're used to in pro sports, where the head coach reports to the GM. Other recent GM hires like Nebraska made it clear that the...

SEC has cruel bullies. Stanford has creative bullies, who can sometimes be worse.

Great hire! An experienced and successful head coach, an alum and Minnesotan, and a good man. Niko is the most recent winner of the Skip Prosser Award for a NCAA D1 basketball coach who exhibits strong moral character. Checks all the boxes for me!
