People acting like this matters, we would lose to Iowa if they had Kevin Hart as their quarterback
NEW: Iowa will start QB Jeremy Hecklinski over Hank Brown against Minnesota, Kirk Ferentz announced.

What’s going on in Madison? The only thing they are good at is recruiting tall white guys from Minnesota and now those kids don’t even want to play for Wisconsin. Gard’s seat is getting warm!
NEWS: Four-star center Jack Thelen has decommitted from Wisconsin and is reopening his recruitment, his agents at WME Basketball told me and @PeteThamel. The 7-foot-1 Minnesota native averaged 8.5 PPG and 6.0 RPG on the 3SSB circuit, ending the summer as ESPN’s No. 14 center.

Getting Northwestern and Wisconsin twice is very lucky, Not happy to see Michigan twice.
Only road games I can’t picture a win at is MSU and Michigan, although we have been extremely competitive at both places.
I see 19 or 20 wins
The #Gophers’ 2026-27 @B1GMBBall schedule has been released. Here’s the full slate for Year 2 under Niko Medved.

This defense might not get a single stop, Mississippi State is getting anything and everything they want on each down. It’s to the point where if we hold them to a 7-yard gain it feels like a win.
My Predictions for the Big Ten games this weekend:
BC > Rutgers
Indiana > Howard
Oregon > Ok. St.
OU > Mich
PSU > Temple
WF > Purdue
Wash > Utah St.
Minn > Miss St.
Illinois > Duke
MSU > EMU
UConn > UMD
Neb > BG
SDSU > UCLA
Wis > WIU
Texas > OSU
Iowa > ISU
USC > UL
What is your prediction for the #Gophers game tomorrow against Mississippi State?
I’ll start:
Minnesota: 27
Mississippi State: 23
An updated look at my projected rotation for the 2026-27 season after Cade Tyson has been added back.
Other possible rotation I see happening is Evans being moved to the bench and Grayson Grove starting to add more size.
Well clearly he doesn’t know shit, ranking the Big Ten Preseason DPOY as the #5 EDGE rusher in the conference is the most “I don’t know ball” thing I have ever seen.
From a guy who knows a thing or two about rushing the passer 💪
@RyanKerrigan91 ranks his Top 5 @B1Gfootball edge rushers 🔥
Hate to say it, but I see 3 or 4 losses.
Will lose 2/3 to Cincy/Cali/SMU and probably lose both in Charleston.
Minnesota has lost 11 straight neutral-site games, which I assume is a record of some kind.
Pretty bizarre, Minnesota assistant basketball coach Aaron Katusma has had his account hacked and turned into an Elon Musk propaganda account.
