Northwestern ran the ball on Oregon to start the game. If Northwestern can run the ball so can Minnesota. Oregon then changed their defense to stop the run forcing NW to go to the passing game. The problem is - NW isn't very good in the passing game. Lindsey will carve up Oregon if they try...

This is a GOOD team - one of the best in the last 50 years. I NEVER bet but... I put $100 on Gophs. Lindsey is the real deal

He comes from a very rich family (Almost certainly multiple 100s of millions) so immediate money will not be the factor it would be with some other kids. I think perfecting his craft so he could be the number one pick in the draft and winning a national championship will be bigger factors. He...

Hope you were in the stands for the 2017 game. We put up 54 on Neb. The most we put up on anyone that year. I think the Gopher QB was Denny Croft and he ran a couple long option keepers for TDs that were back breakers for Neb. I had some Neb fans right in front of me and it was a...

I must have misunderstood. I thought the Family Day had been moved to the 14 and the the open practice on the 12 was the one normally scheduled for the media that they just happened to open for everyone. I need to drink more coffee I guess!

Usually after an open practice there are many comments. Today nada! Wasn't last night a make up Family Day?

Max's secret weapon to make the cut? His brain - he is one of the smarter guys around and O'Connell's offense is complex. Max said, in an MSM article linked by Matt in another thread "We put a ton of work in since OTAs and minicamp, and it's difficult learning this offense. It's one of the...

Anyone who goes, I have a list of questions: First a disclaimer - there was a lot of mix and match tonight so it wasn't the first team against second team but rather this group of guys vrs that group of guys. So... it was had for me to ger a read on how good our O or D will look but there were...

Drake won't leave the Gophers because; 1) Don't forget Grandpa played for the Vikes for 7 years. Drake has said he has fond memories of coming to Vike games with Grandpa after Jim (I think that is the name) retired. Drake has also said he has positive memories of Minneapolis as well. 2)...

That is how I remember it as well. I think PJ mentioned it at the press conference.

I think Steve Hartman was Sid's youngest kid. Did human interest stories here, much like the Coleman story, and then headed for LA. Has done well out there I think.

Yes, Loon had great observations about games - a very knowledgeable guy. Wren, AKA, Walrus is well known for "Only Big10 wins count". I believe Loon got sick and tired of arguing with some of the morons on this board and left. I have enjoyed reading both of them.

My understanding is Dad was not happy with his son's "experience " at LSU - and I don't mean football experience - and Dad decided Fleck's program was what Jr. needed.
