Minnesota Gophers football season is now only days away! Just how good can the Gophers be and how stacked (or not stacked) is the roster? Ross Brendel and Thor Nystrom are back with Gophers 101 from the Minnesota State Fair as they break down the 2026 Minnesota Gophers position by position. What record do they have the 2026 Gophers at?

If the Minnesota Gophers are to meet or even exceed expectations in 2026, they are going to need these five players to elevate their play. This is not to say they were bad in 2025 BUT the Gophers will need them to be even better in 2026. Ross Brendel and Manny Hill discuss what they are hopeful to see from Drake Lindsey, Darius Taylor and more. The boys also bust out "Manny Mania" and quiz Manny on the 2017 Minnesota Gophers football team. Hint... Manny was more right than Ross gave him credit for if you know anything about the Barber family at the University of Minnesota.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

P.J. Fleck and the Minnesota Gophers met the media Tuesday through Thursday in Chicago at Big Ten Media Days. Here's what we learned, or perhaps already knew… P.J.

Did you know that up to 74% of collegiate athletes fail to meet minimum carbohydrate intake recommendations, while roughly half do not consume enough protein or total calories to support their training and recovery? These nutritional gaps can significantly impact athletic performance, injury prevention, recovery, cognitive function, and long-term health. (Sports Journal) Equally concerning, research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that as many as 50.4% of surveyed collegiate student-athletes experience food insecurity, often due to financial limitations and time constraints. Without reliable access to nutritious food, many athletes struggle to meet the nutritional demands required to compete at the highest level. On this episode of Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with Thomas Jensen, Assistant Athletic Director of Sports Nutrition at the University of Minnesota, to explore the critical role nutrition plays in maximizing athletic performance, academic success, and overall well-being. Since joining the Golden Gophers in 2019, Thomas has led sports nutrition initiatives that help student-athletes optimize fueling strategies for competition, recovery, and everyday life. Before Minnesota, he served as Team Dietitian for Minnesota United FC and previously worked with the South Carolina Gamecocks, consulted with the Kansas City Royals, and spent four years supporting student-athletes at the University of Nebraska. Thomas is also passionate about creating a more equitable and sustainable future for sports nutrition. Through the Schwan's Teaching Kitchen, he teaches Gopher student-athletes practical cooking skills, meal preparation, and evidence-based nutrition strategies that empower them to make healthier choices long after their playing careers have ended. During our conversation, we discuss: Whether you're a student-athlete, coach, athletic administrator, sports dietitian, parent, or simply someone interested in maximizing health and performance, this conversation offers valuable insights into the science and practical application of sports nutrition.     Email: jens2311@umn.edu LinkedIn: @TommyJensen Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt analyzes this upcoming season for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Does PJ Fleck have what it takes to make another jump?

He was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1992 National Hockey League Draft and went on to play with both them and the Minnesota Wild. Along the way in his professional hockey career, he also played for Cleveland and Kansas City of the International Hockey League and Syracuse, Adirondack, and Worcester of the American Hockey League. He also played two seasons in Switzerland. In 1996 he won a bronze medal playing for Team USA at the world championships in Austria. He had played his college hockey at the University of Minnesota and in his senior season there won the Hobey Baker Award, given to the most outstanding collegiate hockey player in the NCAA. Prior to his time as a Golden Gopher, he had been named Minnesota Mr. Hockey as the most outstanding senior high school hockey player in that state.

More high school hoops stars have chosen the Wisconsin Badgers over the Minnesota Gophers in recent days. Big deal or not a big deal? Ross Brendel and Manny Hill debate the importance of “closing the border” and keeping Minnesota kids in state. The boys also look ahead to a possible starting 5 next season for the Gopher men and salute an MLB All-Star in former Golden Gopher, Max Meyer.
