I said preseason that that Gophers would be 8-4 or maybe even better if Lindsey was any good. I also said the Gophers could be in danger of 6-6 if Lindsey turned out to be a Kaliakmanis.
I'm now thinking 6-6 with Lindsey being good and showing a lot of promise.
I assumed the running game...
before the season, many people had Wisconsin at 7-5 or (gasp) 6-6. I just didn't see it. I saw the lifeless team that played the Gophers Thanksgiving weekend and figured they'd win maybe one conference game (I thought maybe Maryland) and finish 3-9. Little did I know they ended up being worse...
Two comebacks at Nebraska. One was the fumble/tug discussed above. The other was more recent with the Tanner Morgan injury, leaving the game. Then there was a comeback.
I have been meaning to bring up OT at the bank lately and failed to do so. This thread is quite timely.
It is quite remarkable to have our new stadium since 2009, yet it has never hosted an OT game. Yet.
That is a lot of football games to not have any of them end regulation in a tie.
The only...
My weather app has steadily been making it look more dry as the week has progressed. Basically zero percent chance of precipitation after 3 pm on Friday, with a very small chance of rain prior to 3.
Weather app on phone and watch have increasingly been making it look like a spectacular tailgate...
My hope always runs high. My official prediction for this game with Nebraska is a 14-34 loss. Based on what I have seen from both teams, this is what I would predict the score to be 10 times out of 10.
But we have seen Fleck circle the wagons and pluck a win from the jaws of defeat on a few...
So I have a senior at Wisconsin. Her choice, I couldn't stop it. She was in gold, in the student section for the Gophers vs Purdue on Saturday. I'll take what I can get. Hopefully she spends her undergrad career at Wisconsin with only one win over the Gophers.
The one that really irritates me...
Offensive line issues have stalled drives and killed the run game.
This in turn has made the defense look bad
For me the defense has been moderately disappointing but the O line has been severely disappointing.
Yeah but that is on the sunny side of the stadium, where I am told it is always so much warmer than the shady side.
I see people (especially younger people) consistently underestimate the chill factor and wind, especially at night. It isn't just football games. I bring rookies out night fishing...
Amazing job of putting a championship-quality team together in ONE SEASON at a traditional doormat like INDIANA! And then to turn around and arguably be BETTER in season two? I would think Cignetti would be on any coaching hire radar. That is the crappy part of this. Even as Indiana as reached...
This is my thoughts exactly. You lose the opportunity to interact with an opposing fan taking the time to introduce themselves, and things get stale.
I’ve seen this approach on other boards, even ones that I have looked at as a visiting fan to get info for a game we were attending on the road...
Kaliakmanis with a couple vapor trail short passes including one that seemed to lift the receiver off the ground and knock him over like it was a Warner Bros cartoon. He’s also threw one interception that ended up being wiped by a penalty, with several other passes very nearly an interception...
