As far as ratings for recruiting, 5 star - use a scoop 2 and 3 star - cherry pick

If the Gophers win on Saturday, I will quit assuming the fetal position every time they play and finally enjoy the games. I will then root for them in the Big Ten Championship and after they win, hope they get screwed by the CFP committee because I want to go to Pasadena!

Bummer story about about Nate Hammon of Wisconsin. Wisconsin seems to have a bunch of those small town kids who go there and have pretty good careers. He had his best game against Minnesota. Here's the story. Associated Press Someone came up to Milton native Nate Hammon and said they saw...

To me, it is something said last year by the Nebraska coach. "They out-physicalled us!" It would be great to have more star athletes, but that still is not as big a deal as this!

Ben Lauer the heaviest at 322. Actually, a lot of slimming down over the winter. http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/minn-m-footbl-mtt.html

Does anyone have any good information on who will not be back?

I am comparing the three classes and who has presently left early. (Note I added two Wisconsin players whose future time with the team could be in doubt.) Minnesota -- (class of 27) Andre McDonald WR 3* D3 school Jamel Harbison WR 3* D2 school Jordan Hinojosa DT 3* CC...

I agree that stars matter. On the other hand, lack of stars can mean all sorts of things. When it comes to Richardson, it is simply his height. At the College level, great athletes can still take over the game. It doesn't mean that the NFL will draft them high. In football, there is...

I really think the Burlsworth award is a great honor and he deserved it! http://www.buckys5thquarter.com/wisconsin-badgers-football/2013/12/9/5193510/jared-abbrederis-2013-burlsworth-trophy-winner

http://www.thedailygopher.com/2012/12/4/3727838/minnesota-golden-gophers-football-max-shortell-to-transfer So, I guess we should hear pretty soon if there will be any this year.

This team lost two starters in the offensive line and have had the depth to survive it. They lost Briean Boddy for the season and Derrick Wells has been banged up all season, but have been able to move guys around to deal with it. However, had this team lost a linebacker or two, it would have...

Donovahn Jones and Drew Wolitarsky need to learn to put their body between the defender and the ball. Drew Wolitarsky has a touchdown reception if he had done this and both of them would have had more receptions or drawn pass interference calls. Maxx Williams does this well. By the way, was...

Coaches always say “fans judge progress by wins and losses”. I have BTN2Go. I went back and watched some of the games last year. And I have to say “wow!” It’s like seeing your nephew you haven’t seen in a while and are surprised how much he’s grown. I know that our offensive line was really...

Michigan St. and Minnesota are the two remaining teams with a chance to win the Legends...

I do think that the 2012 Gopher recruiting class will go down as one of the best in the Big 10, no matter what Rivals and the others say. 16 of them played right away (17 if you include Jamel) with 10 red-shirting in a class of 26. This year, there are 13 red-shirts with only six playing. It...
