    Post Game Thread: Gophers Gutsy in Comeback Win, Bowl Eligible!

    Anyone watching the game on TV would think Rossi was the head coach at MSU. They had the camera on him relentlessly - rubbing it in or what?

    We should have Emmett Johnson, who leads the B10 in rushing and is #2 in the nation at nearly 6 yards per carry. A Minnesota "Mr. Football" from Minneapolis, he wasn't recruited by PJ, yet wanted to play here. Recruiting is the problem.

    Black Uniforms against MSU

    White on the road, black at home. Ugh. Whatever happened to the school colors - maroon and gold. They are the colors of Autumn and look great in many configurations. Black, white, ugh.

    We stink.

    Yes, this was the worst...real pain.

    In hindsight, this outcome is not that surprising. This is Mark Gronowski's sixth year as a starting college QB.

    Yes, you'd think in the ninth year the program would be going somewhere, but PJ is coaching 2 and 3* players when he needs 4 and 5* players. Drake, Koi and Marius are up there, but we need a team of them to take on the big boys. Recruiting is the issue in the 9th year, and now that players are...

    Fleck: “I’m proud of our players fight. We didn’t turn the ball over which is really positive for us…We have a really good football team though.”

    Gophers likely will not win more than two of the remaining four games and they will have to fight and scrap to do that, with Wisconsin and Mich. State best hopes for wins. They play badly on the road, so N'Western and Oregon are likely losses, Oregon a big one. 7-5 season - win the bowl and it's...

    AT WHAT POINT DO YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    Fleck is a 60% winner, better than 13 previous coaches going back to 1941, and he does it with 2 and 3* players. 60% is an average of about 7 wins a year. If he had 4 and 5* players he'd likely win an average of 9 games a year or better. Recruiting is the problem - why isn't Emmett Johnson...

    This is a fireable offense

    It's recruiting - Emmett Johnson "Mr. Football" from Minneapolis, playing for Nebraska, was leading the B10 in rushing before today's games and had 124 yds today. If we had him this year, backing up Darius, we'd have won at CA and done better today, though still losing. Fleck has won 60% of his...

    Franklin started at Vanderbilt, which is hotter now than when he was there. He'll land on his feet, but I doubt he'd be interested in a mediocre B10 team like Minnesota.

    Post Game Thread: Hawkeyes Humiliate Gophers

    Also, Iowa has had only two coaches since 1978 - stability means a lot, helps recruiting.

    Post Game Thread: Hawkeyes Humiliate Gophers

    Gopher rushing totals: 35 against Rutgers, 68 against Ohio State, 30 against Purdue (Purdue!), 24 (one yard per carry) against Iowa. So why not use the corrupt system now in place and go buy a couple of 5* running backs from other teams? The new transfer rule is perfect for such corruption.

    Describe the Gophers loss to Iowa in 1 sentence

    Angry college team plays a lackluster jr college team.

    What grade would you give the Gophers coaches and players in Iowa loss?

    F. The Gophers looked like they were not ready to play and Iowa (and its fans) looked like they were high on something. No contest. Humiliation. We have one running back - if he's out, that's it (and he's the only running back who can catch the ball). We don't have the depth to play in an...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA, FLOYD OF ROSEDALE, IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It's recruiting. The Gophers are playing a freshman at QB and have only one running back - Taylor. When he's out they can't run and they can't throw to the running backs. The Gophers just don't have the talent to play in an 18-team league. If they had divisions - and it's criminal that they...
