    Great collage of 9 straight bowl wins!

    As I recall, we don't get to pick our bowl games. We have to play the teams they assign us. We have won those games. No reason to not be happy. I guarantee, if we were on a 9 game bowl losing streak, every one in the nation would make fun of us. We've beat p5 teams. I know it isn't the...

    What grade would you give the Gophers in the Rate Bowl win?

    It didn't in KC where I watched it, but that's likely not surprising.

    What grade would you give the Gophers in the Rate Bowl win?

    We didn't wow anything. But we also don't have any receivers left and lots of other holes. Refs didn't really give us much and we still won. "C" effort for sure.

    All Things 2025/26 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    That for sure happens when kids get hurt or retire from football. I'm not sure that happens if you get cut, but I wouldn't know that part. I do recall several times we had guys who hung it up and stayed in school (or came back after a pro career).

    National Signing Day

    They sign like everyone else. Remember, this signing period is open until Friday and then there is another one in early Feb. So players can wait, although most coaches want it done this week so they know what to look for in the portal.

    The Law of the Unknown Trajectory

    Which leads to a thought I had yesterday when Koi had the long kick-off return that setup the first TD. Fleck loves to say there is no such thing as momentum. If you don't think that play changed the game, I don't know what to say. It was bigger than winning on one play. It got us in the end...

    I will bet anyone here...

    Apathy level is high for this squad. I hope they beat the badgers, but I'm heading out of hte country and will only watch if we happen to win when I get back home. Again, wouldn't spend one dollar on seeing whatever crappy bowl they play in.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Lose Back and Forth Game to Northwestern, Fall to 6-5 as Defense Struggles Again

    Lots of weaknesses on this team. And that's on the coach. We missed two field goals in the game and that was too much. Defense can't be counted on to give up less than 30 a game. We once again completely failed to show up to start the game. I wonder if PJ already inked a deal with Arkansas...

    You aren't wrong. This defense couldn't stop Moorhead...

    Describe the Gophers loss to NW in 1 sentence?

    Trash defense on a trash team.

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Well we knew he'd be one of the very first. I would call Va Tech a destination, but obviously Franklin wants to coach next year. Good for both of them.
