Minnesota finishes reg season with same record as Alabama, Florida, Oregon, Notre Dame, Penn St, Wisconsin and more wins than Auburn, Michigan and Iowa. Let that sink in. #SkiUMah

Had a blast on this road trip despite the score. Eugene is a really fun college town, Oregon fans were welcoming and we top-ticked the weather. Thanks for the memories and we’ll be back to the PN next year at Washington!

Honestly if you ever go to Lincoln for a game the Nebraska fans are very classy, welcoming and it’s a great time. It’s the keyboard warriors that give Nebs a bad name.

Jon Gruden unboxing a couple grand worth of Gophers merch and dropping about 30 player and famous grad names is a must watch
What we got today is one of the most unique items so far... and it's for ROWING THE BOAT!!
These Golden Gophers in Minnesota will come at you all game long and never EVER give up, it's why I like 'em so much!
Thank you Coach Fleck and @GopherFootball for this, RTB!!!

I’m convinced that the Vikings don’t want to play Brosmer because if he looks good then how do they ever bring McCarthy back in?
Kwesi is desperate to make that pick look better than it does right now and keeping Wentz in helps him do that.

$2.9M Ben Johnson buyout
$3.75M Niko CSU buyout
$3.0M Niko annual salary
So that’s nearly $10M to get started with Niko Medved in year 1. Can’t say Coyle wasn’t willing to invest this time.

For the "PJ has a losing B1G record" crowd, a friendly reminder that the last Gophers FB coach that DIDN'T have a losing B1G record was Murray Warmath who coached from 1954 to 1971.
PJ has the best B1G record in the last 45 years of Gophers FB head coaches. #RTB

-Tyler Nubin back
-Brevyn Spann-Ford back
-CrAB back
-Athan Kaliakmanis saying he “loves to death” Fleck and Ciarrocca and how much they develop him

So tired of this attendance narrative. It’s been better each game this season. Yesterday was 44,700 paid attendance which is 80%, and the stadium looked it at peak times. Penn St game will be sold out. Everyone relax, attendance is a lagging indicator of success. #SkiUMah

Thoughts on the new B1G teams so far:
Washington: We are Michigan one year and Maryland the next
Oregon: Oh you thought we were Penn St? Haha actually Ohio State.
USC: We think we are Ohio State but actually we’re Nebraska
UCLA: We are aspiring to be Minnesota

I don’t care what Bowl it was when
> Freshman RB DT goes for over 200 yards and TD
> 5th year backup QB Cole Kramer has 3 all-purpose TDs
> Fiancée Katie Miller gets more air time than Taylor Swift
That’s a fun day and some nice momentum into the offseason.

Interesting remarks from former Gopher Donald Willis who transferred to Western Michigan in 2023. We’ve heard similar things from other players about Fleck’s program not being easy due to ‘life program’ expectations, but in retrospect they see the value.

Conspiracy theory: Kirk Ferentz wants to get fired and is being stubborn about Spencer Pietras and the offense in order to make it happen. He's 67 and his buyout is $40M+, otherwise he has to coach another 6 years to get that money.

So yes, Minnesota thinks they are a better program than Nebraska.
Now Minnesota thinks they’re a better program than Nebraska 🤣. We should’ve beat Minnesota easily last year, we had the worst QB in college football and still almost pulled it off.

ESPN
By law, a Wisconsin ‘lake’ is 2+ acres and a Minnesota lake is 10+ acres.
This follows the general rule of thumb that Minnesota is 5 times better than Wisconsin.
Casual reminder that Wisconsin has more lakes than
Minnesota “land of 10,000 lakes”
Wisconsin: ~15,000
Minnesota: ~11,000
Community note
Wisconsin's DNR officially recognizes 15,074 lakes in the state. However, its definition of a lake is much less strict than Minnesota's, which requires a lake to be at least 10 acres in size.
If Minnesota's definition of a lake is applied, Wisconsin only has 5,898 lakes.

Anyone saying fire the HC is ridic. Fleck is the most successful coach since Murray Warmath.
The reason losses like this are painful is bc Gophers are competitive and games are meaningful. I lived through decades when losing by 1pt in a critical conf game would be a dream. #RTB

Is Souhan on vacation? This take could not be more wrong. Football PAYS FOR all the other sports (ex MBB and MHockey). Extending Fleck is the most critical thing that could be done to insure continuation/growth of the revenue needed to SAVE the 20 non-profitable Gopher sports.

The Gophers appear to have lost out on higher tiered Bowls to three teams that they either beat (Pur, Wisc) or had a better record than (Penn St). PSU getting the Outback is ridiculous.

I’m not saying it’s perfect but at this point you gotta give Ben Johnson some credit. Gophers were picked to finish last in B1G by most publications and instead they’re in the thick of it. 10 to go, anything is possible!

Nebraska coaching history last 25 years:
Frank Solich 58-19 (75%), not good enough
Bill Calahan 27-22 (55%), not good enough
Bo Pelini 67-27 (71%), not good enough
Mike Riley 19-19 (50%), not good enough
Scott Frost 15-26 (37%), if he can’t do it nobody can, extend him
