My 8-4 preseason prediction is still in play! Or “stuck in the middle with you “ XlPEW0h9B8jnF0

The Gophers don’t stink they are just average. . 8-4 is more like 6-4 when you discount the annual 2 game walkovers. Fleck is a classic example of the Peter Principle. He has risen to his level of incompetence. To expect more iof him in terms of success is delusional.

I just reread my post. Typed it on my phone while being a passenger. Lots of typos and misspellings. Bottom line is that Fleck and staff need to be virtually living in this Midwest football hotbeds where talent is forged through good competition.

After reading these threads the recurring sentiment is recruiting is the issue. Cignetti brought 1/2 of a team and has been successful playing portal roulette. He now has established his reputation for success. Going forward he will have success in hs recruiting. Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago...

Why do you think that Gophers can’t raise enough money for NiL?

B4 the season, I predicted 8-4 which is about right. Recruiting? Let’s face it, Minnesota has a big disadvantage versus states like Florida, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and California where high school football is big time.

It is an alternate universe. Imagine Vince Lombardi saying that. So if I walk across the street and get hit by a truck in the middle of the street. Fleck would say” you were stylin’ until that truck hit you. There is a lot of good in that the truck almost missed you and that you survived. You...

I agree with your take except that Ryan Day is probably not overrated with a 88% winning record at OSU- his only head coaching job. He passed Knute Rockne this year.

He might as well as said “we had a good drive and kicked a Fg. The rest of the game we had no clue. Thankfully, we escaped intact.” The definition of a -39 point win in Fleck talk. Row the boat over the falls.

My buddy from Ohio just sent me this link from Saturday’s game. Even the band has NIL money. How do you compete with that. Haha. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19mWTbxTiu/?mibextid=wwXIfr

OSU has 2 #1 receivers and 3 good tight ends. Last years CBs wouldn’t have made any difference. You can’t double cover both Tate and Smith. Another variable is coaching. Which OSU coaches wouldn’t be an upgrade to the Gopher staff? That’s the ingredient in OSU’s secret sauce that nobody talks about.

I hope the Gophers do well but as someone once said, hope is not a plan. Judging from some of the comments inspirational is a very short trip from delusional. My key concern is the Gophers WRs. The OSU defensive backs are first level. They will cover well enough to allow the OSU defense line to...

If you accidentally leave your Minnesota hat at home whatever you do do pick up this M hat locally. You won’t be lonely for long although your new found “friends” won’t be buying you beers they will be throwing them at

Pretty fair assessment. Patricia’s calling card at New England was creating confusion for the opposing qb. As stated by the Cleveland reporter he has several first round talents who play multiple positions. Imagine having 4-5 Koi Perichs that you can move around pre snap. Yikes!

Isn’t Drake getting a little old? I heard he can really lay down a line not play behind one. So is Fleck recruiting out of Canada now? Asking for a friend, eh.
