    Hoosiers go with Curt Cignetti from James Madison

    Seems like a really good hire. JMU has been very successful in recent years as they transitioned to FBS. He's also been the head coach at Indiana University before. Division II Indiana (Pennsylvania)...

    Minnesota did not have a RB carry over 21 yards after September 23

    Not a single Gopher RB managed a carry over 21 yards after Darius Taylor got injured on Sept 23 vs Northwestern. Jordan Nubin somehow got a 21 yarder against Ohio State. No other rushes over 19 yards for anyone I can find. That's basically the entire Big Ten season without even a...

    Draftkings keeps the early line under a TD Should be a close game

    I want to see Cole Kramer

    Not as the starting QB, but as a package QB similar to how he was used the last couple years. Short yardage situations, primarily. Under Fleck the Gophers have had great success with both Kramer and Seth Green in short yardage conversions. Best in the nation once or twice, I believe. The...

    Possible hurricane game vs UNC

    It's very early (13 days out) but forecast models have a major hurricane heading near North Carolina on Friday/Saturday of our game with the Tar Heels. Chapel Hill is well inland, but it could cause the game to be played in heavy rains or wind. It also may affect travel plans for those who are...

    Big Ten requiring game day availability reports

    Teams will have to report the availability of players 2 hours before kickoff, a first among P5 conferences. No more guessing if so-and-so will play up until the first huddle

    ESPN Pre-season Top 100 Players

    No Gophers listed. Only 3 Big Ten West players made the list. The same number as Kansas had on the list by itself. Yikes. ESPN must have laid off the B1G West beat reporter. 35. JerZhan Newton - Illinois 38. Braelon Allen - Wisconsin 46. Cooper DeJean - Iowa...

    When is the Saudi PIF going to buy a college football team?

    PIF + NIL = final collapse of any sort of amateurism or fairness in CFB. This article talks about the NFL but taking over college football (via a random team or two) would be far cheaper to them, and perhaps more unsettling to the USA...

    Dylan Raiola commits to Georgia over Nebraska

    #1 2024 QB and former OSU commit Dylan Raiola chose Georgia today over Nebraska, where his father is an alum and his uncle is a coach. It's a blow to Nebraska, as they not only lose the #1 QB prospect but also the halo effect it has on the rest of a class.

    Let's have a talk about kickoffs (big analytics surprise)

    I was playing around with the Big Ten team stats now that the regular season is in the books. There were a lot of strong performances around the squad, but one player and one unit stood out head-and-shoulders above all other Big Ten teams. Dragan Kesich was dragon-mode all year long. Just...

    Western Michigan sacks Fleck's successor

    Tim Lester, who replaced PJ Fleck at Western Michigan, was fired after 6 years with a 37-32 record. Lester went 6-6 in his first year and had the Broncos milling around the .500 mark across his tenure.

    wisconsin looks bad.

    It’s a grim day around here but let’s at least celebrate that the skunks are as low as they have been in 10+ years. They have been on a slow decline ever since they believed Graham Mertz is a Big Ten QB and it looks like the dam could break into a losing season. If the Gophers can get at least...

    ESPN's a believer!

    The current cover story on ESPN.com shows Mo Ibrahim racking up yards on Ohio State above the headline, "Who wins the Big Ten?" In the article, they predict the Gophers win the West. Perhaps SEC biased, but definitely Not Dinks.
