Pleasantly surprised that ESPN is going to Bloomington for Indiana-Minnesota over one of the biggest Florida-Georgia games in years. Another great opportunity for the program on a national stage.
The Gophers will be on the national stage next weekend as they look to upset the defending champs. More: bringmethesports.com/college…

An all-time great performance from the Gophers’ defense led the way on Saturday over Iowa. John Nestor had a great performance against his former team, and Joey Gerlach continues to stand out. Notable snap counts and PFF grades: bringmethesports.com/gophers…

3-0 sweep this weekend from men's hockey and football is all-time stuff. Realistically, where does this weekend stack up among the best for Gophers sports in the last 20 years?
MASSIVE Homecoming week of sports for the U of M athletic department. Men's hockey team has announced sellouts for Thursday and Friday against UND, and football just announced a sellout for Saturday against Iowa. What would you consider a successful weekend of results?

Before the season, I thought “the next step” for this Gophers program was two rivalry trophies, now the first time P.J. Fleck has done that at Minnesota. I always have and always be a rivalry trophy guy. There’s a lot that needs to be fixed with this team right now, but Fleck deserves his credit. Little Brown Jug and Floyd of Rosedale in the same year is big time stuff. There’s a lot of craziness in college football right now, and Fleck is the right guy to coach gophers football right now.

P.J. Fleck’s full opening statement after tonight’s win over Iowa. Called it the best environment he has seen at Huntington Bank Stadium, also quoted Herb Brooks in his pregame speech. Well worth the listen. 👇

The Gophers are in possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe, Floyd of Rosedale and the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 1978. Completing the historic rivalry trophy trifecta is a true resume-building feat for P.J. Fleck's Minnesota tenure. Read: bringmethesports.com/floyd-o…

Truly one of the weirdest football games I've ever watched, but so perfectly Minnesota-Iowa. Not entirely sure what I just watched, but I did my best to hand out some immediate player/coach ratings. 👇
It was a true roller coaster game between the Gophers and Iowa, but Floyd of Rosedale is back in Minneapolis. Player/coach ratings: bringmethesports.com/gophers…
