Bleacher Report says Gophers are a "Buy" for next year - yes!

Minnesota
Verdict: Buy

Minnesota has refused to give up this season. They had one of their worst starts ever, going 1-6 with losses to New Mexico State and North Dakota State.

Since they've beaten Iowa and played MSU down to the wire.

They may not win another game this season, which would mean they would finish 2-10. Then again, they could win both games (Northwestern and Illinois), which would mean they increased their win total from last season. That would be truly remarkable given their start.

With another year of development for Marqueis Gray, the Gophers should improve next season. We can't say that for sure until their defense (ranked 104th in points allowed) improves. There is no indication that they won't finish with three or four wins next season again.

I've come to the conclusion that not one media outlet or sports writer is respected on these forums.

That's fair, but this is Bleacher Report. I believe they've tightened up their restrictions, but it used to be that anyone could get an article published there. I had a regular column there for about 6 months and I'm no sportswriter.

Yeah, "Bleacher Report" and "Some guy" are pretty interchangeable.

Yeah, "Bleacher Report" and "Some guy" are pretty interchangeable.

"Some Guy" most likely knows more about the program than the media outlets.

 

[Schnauzer]

I wouldn't even call bleacher report "media" and I agree that "Some guy" is pretty much the same thing. That is coming from me, and I don't have near the problems many people here have with the media. I like Dan Barerro and I'm neutral on Pat Reusse. Bleacher report is a whole different animal.

Yeah, I do agree that Bleacher Report isn't a very credible website, but I mainly just took the opportunity to finally say something about how everyone criticizes any sort of media on this website. I was mainly talking about all of the hate towards the Strib, Reusse, Doogie, etc., but I just decided to make my point in this thread.
