The most impressive gopher shot I ever saw was in 2014-15 when Carlos "Squirrel" Morris elevated for a straightaway three and somehow managed to launch the ball straight backwards on a line drive trajectory. I can imagine how a player might lose their grip and drop the ball behind them, but...
It seems like there's a lot of revisionist history with the extent to which Cignetti had some bizarrely elite roster purchased by an outrageous NIL infusion. If that is actually what happened, we should be able to look back at all the preseason articles telling us about what a wildly stacked...
It wouldnt be getting left out because you played in a conference championship. It would be getting left out because you lost a conference championship.
I used to always just want a P6/P5/P4 team because I wanted to beat a recognizable school from a solid conference. We still say P4, but realistically, after the most recent realignment, it feels like there is really a P2, with the Big 12 and ACC being in a separate tier between B1G/SEC and the...
We could have gone 9-3 without needing to win a single game against a major conference team with a winning conference record. Easier said than done, but we can get to 8 wins without needing to upset the Ohio States or Oregons or even Iowas of the world.
Not poo pooing our big Axe victory. I am...
That drive that started with about 7 minutes left was baffling (your word, and it was the perfect word). I bet if you looked at one of those in game win probability models, our chance of winning was increasing even as they were getting first downs. But even before that, in a game where quick...
The 4th down timeout was necessary because two of our players were dancing and hugging 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage while wisconsin was lining up for the next play.
Not necessarily positivity. I think for some folks there is no daylight between "right where we want to be" and "fire the coach." For others (including myself) there is definitely a zone of "this isn't good, but not calling for the coach's head yet." Im disappointed with the overall trend and...
I know its easy to say "of course we struggled against good teams, they are good teams." But I looked back over the schedules, I think we were OSU and Iowas largest margin of victory in B1G play this year, and Oregon's second largest behind a thumping they gave to Rutgers. And this despite the...
