    Game Times for 11/18

    If we play them at 11:00 AND 2:30, I like our chances to split. Our offensive line is going to wear them down that 2nd game.

    P.J. Fleck heard Gophers fans’ boos Saturday and wanted to respond

    As others mentioned, there was zero fear of Michigan State marching down and scoring a TD or FG with less than a minute left. We weren't playing OSU. So you have to give yourself the best chance to score a touchdown, so wasting 15 seconds could have been really critical. Fortunately they did...

    I’m so glad this is the last game I have to watch this year.

    Battle status fir Purdue

    The line at Ohio State was +14.5. They won. I'm not putting money on it nor do I think they will win today, but to say there is no chance is pretty ballsy as it ignores history as recently as exactly one week ago. Vegas will give you $100 for every $1100 you bet on Purdue moneyline today...

    How did Coyle let this happen?

    I hope you are right and respect your opinion as a coach. I will gladly eat my words if they show real improvement the rest of the season. I expected inconsistent play from the freshman. What concerns me more is the inconsistent play from the veterans Battle, Garcia and Cooper that you...

    How did Coyle let this happen?

    Too many of you are simplifying this into these two options: A) Ben Johnson's recruiting has been pretty good and we're going to win later because we have freshman playing a lot of minutes and Evans/Christie/Betts coming in next year. B) The freshman aren't talented enough relative to the rest...

    DENNIS EVANS A GOPHER!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok good point. I didn't say my memory was good, I just said I couldn't remember.

    DENNIS EVANS A GOPHER!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is a HUGE get for the Gophers and coach Johnson! I can't remember the last time we had an elite shot-blocker and rim defender who could erase perimeter defensive mistakes. Maybe Pryzbilla, but that didn't last very long. Seeing what he can do offensively will be fun, but I'm most excited...

    Amazing NCAA stats for Gophers

    I for one am pretty worried about our ability to recruit great young punters going forward. If they're not getting game time reps here, they are going to choose Iowa every time! <nervous>

    Top 50 Returning Players per CBS

    For my money, Drew Peterson has the most punchable face in college basketball. Not sure what it is exactly, not a dirty player or anything, just punchable.

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    I'll admit I didn't see all 49 minutes Thiam played, but I saw absolutely nothing in the minutes he had that indicated he will be ready to play in the Big 10, at any point. I realize many kids make an unexpected big jump in college, but it would have to be a night and day improvement for him to...

    Stats, this year vs last year so far

    I need to get opponent FG % in here too, will do that later. Not fouling much doesn't mean much if you're giving up easy layups, but doesn't seem like that's the case.

    Stats, this year vs last year so far

    Like many, I feel like I was totally wrong about Ben Johnson. I'm so impressed with the way he has maximized the strengths and hidden the weaknesses of this team that is short on talent, size and depth, especially for the Big 10. To the extent that you can "see" coaching in stats, I wanted to...

    Targeting

    This is part of what makes this rule so difficult to interpret and enforce. Defensive player coming full speed at an offensive player at full speed. Offensive player either by instinct or on purpose lowers his helmet or even is sometimes falling down... Defensive player who would have hit the...
