    Which of these looks from Minnesota last season was your favorite?

    All white. Close second is the WMW. Although I’m not a fan of numbers on the helmet.

    Your favorite loss in the Bank

    Definitely the snowy 2014 Ohio State game for me. Never expected to win that game but it was great having a shot at it like that. That’s the only game I’ve been bundled up like that. Carhardts, Sorels, snow bibs… wouldn’t have missed it and glad I was there. Ended up going alone. Wife...

    Gophers finish regular season 7-5, 5-4 in Big Ten, win over wisconsin - what grade would you give the regular season?

    B. Win one of the NC, Iowa, Penn St, Mich games and I’d probably have gone with A. I came into this season figuring it was a 5 win season and really down on the prospects. Fleck opened up his game and the players stepped up with it. Really glad to have been proven wrong. Fun team to watch...

    POST GAME THREAD!!!!!! GOPHERS BEAT badgers AT wisconsin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow! Great game! Very well-rounded effort and complete domination. Love it!!! Ecstatic with the win in this game and very pleased with the season overall. I’ve been critical of Fleck over the last several years and honestly didn’t think he was capable of changing his game. This season...

    The Band Pit

    I don’t mind you disagreeing. We all have opinions. But it would seem the U of M is in the vast majority, not minority. In the 14 years I’ve spent as a season ticket holder, I don’t remember any B1G school bringing their band into our stadium. It’s possible some have, but it’s mighty rare.

    The Band Pit

    I guess everyone has their particular annoyances. The configuration of the band pit never bothered me. The fact that we allowed an opponent’s band into our stadium to keep their team and fans rev’d up bothers me immensely. Maybe there’s some NCAA rule that says we have to. I don’t know. In...

    Is it time to admit PJ (and staff) can coach?

    If they had time to get the field goal unit on the field, they had time to set up for a shot at the end zone. They'd been effectively moving the ball in the final minute (+) leading up to that field goal. No guarantee they score the TD. As we've seen this year, no guarantee we hit the FG...

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    Curious… who blamed the refs for the loss?

    Is it time to admit PJ (and staff) can coach?

    If Fleck had the stones to score a touchdown at the end of the first half, the onside kick wouldn’t even have been necessary.

    Big Ten to modify officiating on onside kicks.

    Too little, too late. There’s no good reason EVERY call shouldn’t be reviewable. It’s a fast-moving game and refs are human. They get things wrong. Besides the players being treated right, there’s HUGE money at stake with some of these games. Video review should ALWAYS be available to back...

    What grade do you give Gophers coaches in win over Rhode Island?

    Here's the way I look at this and the question... the question is about the coaching and not necessarily team performance. I'm looking at coaching decisions. Fleck could have stuck with the run even though it wasn't working so great (like he usually does). He didn't. Fleck could have just...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    I’m open to being corrected on this… but I don’t think Rhode Island crossed the 50 until something like 7 minutes to go in the game. And then they lost 5 yards on a false start. So RI never ran a play from the Gophers end of the field. Even with a weaker opponent, that’s pretty decent defense.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    I acknowledge the weak opponent, but the coaching staff answered all my complaints from over the last couple years. Opened the playbook and threw the ball all over the field. Actually attempted to score a touchdown with time running out in the first half. Returners actually returning kicks...

    Who else is optimistic about the 2024 season?

    Yep, this is where I'm at. I'm excited to see what the team puts together, how Brosmer does, etc. But I'm not going to be delusional about the W/L record. It's an uphill climb.
