Lots of pro sports teams in Bloomington, Indiana. Lots of college football coaches wanting to come to Minneapolis and stay. Tons of support from the community in Minneapolis. All resources go to the U. No one cares about the Vikings or Timberwolves.

Literally LOL.

Iowa and Wisconsin can say the same thing. Indiana got lucky. The lucked out on a coach, schedule and that a billionaire bankrolls their roster. Hats off to them but they found lightening in a bottle. Reminds me a lot of Purdue with Joe Tiller and Drew Brees. Fleck with all his warts is still reliable for a bowl every year and no embarrassing story in the media.

I guess thats the standard now. Being reliable for a bowl every year.

It’s pretty crazy any way you look at it. Is it the case UCLA and NU are improved, or is PSU broken? Are there NIL payment issues and a work stoppage/slowdown? I think it was the MSU team that almost boycotted the Nebraska game from the hotel lobby a few years ago, over late NIL handouts.
 






Congrats to Indiana. They're probably gunna be a playoff team in back-to-back seasons. No reason we can't have that in MN. PJ Fleck needs to get it going.

That isn’t proof he wasn’t injured. You have to come out for at least one play if you are injured. I am not saying Fleck doesn’t yell at people just that I don’t recall him ever yelling at a player for coming outnof a game due to injury.

I don’t really notice him yelling at players or coaches much at all, let alone one for being injured. I’ve seen him run on to the field to check on injured players.
 

gophmeister said:
Then why did he have to come off the field for one play?

Likely because he was laying on the ground to long, so the refs forced him out a play. Which is why his head coach lit him up a bit. Are you at their practices? Maybe it’s an issue. Either way it’s the only play he missed all game. Made a big pass defense late in the game, clearly not injured

Yup, they beat the team that squeaked (in overtime) by a team that just lost back to back games to UCLA and Northwestern.

This board loves transitive wins, so that tells the whole story.

They won.

Either we have a chance at Oregon, or Indiana would steamroll us. Probably the latter.

It only took two years for Curt Cignetti to put Indiana on the map as a top team. PJ Fleck is still trying to figure this shit out in year nine.

If PJ had the advantage of a Mark Cuban to bankroll a bunch of talented transfers and scheduled the puffiest of creampuffs for the noncon, don't you think he would have similar results?

It’s not just players and execution for the Gophs. Uncreative, predictable game plans on offense just don’t make it in the new Big Ten. Mindset can be a great weakness as well as a strength. It’s complicated.

Indianas had like 15 transfers last year from JMU, money didn’t bring them Cignetti did. Our players get paid too, they drive Corvettes and Raptors and T-Rex’s around campus

None of Indiana's transfers came from JMU last year and 9 of the 23 total came from G5 schools. The majority of transfers came from B1G, SEC and ACC schools including Mendoza, a Cal transfer.
