Jeez. Are you new to Gopher Hole? I kid. There is a playoff game next week — I repeat, a playoff game. That means it's a game that none of these folks would have expected or predicted back when the Vikings 2024 season began. Now watch... If the Vikings win that game vs. the Rams, watch what...

One loss = you're no longer ranked.

So, why don't you supply some 'context'? Please elaborate. I'm willing to listen. As far as validation is concerned, it wouldn't take much time to fact-check these win numbers.

He's a very solid B. There are two recent threads on Gopher Hole that make for very interesting and informative reading. 1) Last 5 full seasons. 2) Greder: The U’s total NIL fund is roughly $2.5 million, so an 8-5 season can be considered a quality return on investment.

How can you not love this guy? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oPhFxVtI6qg

If that's accurate, it is simply amazing. For Minnesota to be 12th in the entire nation in wins over that time period is very impressive. For Minnesota to have been ranked in only 11 weeks while compiling that impressive record is a bit of a head-scratcher, to say the least.

When Chryst was fired and Wisconsin announced a clean break from the 'old ways' (Alvarez model) in favor of a more 'modern' approach (Luke Fickell) I wondered if the Badgers might have set themselves up for a future that resembled Nebraska after the firing of Bo Pelini. Time will tell, but the...

Saban at Michigan State: 34-24-1 (.586) Fleck at Minnesota: 57-39 (.593) It's hard to win in the B1G.

Regarding the bolded: I am really happy to see that the young man is focused on becoming the best player he can be, with help from coaching. It shows self-awareness and maturity in that he apparently recognizes the fact that he's not a superstar quite yet, but he has high aspirations for himself.

All I know is: Nick Saban looked like he was freezing his ass off. He did not look happy to be there.

My God, I am loving all of this... ESPN and the SEC having a brutal moment in the relentless social media gristmill is delightful. And then this thought occurred to me, and it made me even happier: Wisconsin travels to Tuscaloosa next September. Gee... I wonder if Alabama will be fixin' to...

I agree. I loved watching Tennessee get blown out. I'm going to be rooting hard for Arizona State to beat Texas. For one of the few times in my life, I'll be pulling for Notre Dame to beat Georgia. Over time, I've more than had my fill with the SEC/ESPN bullshit. Whever I'm feeling down, I...

Yeah, that one was on me and I'm here to admit I was wrong. In my own defense: my reasoning was I didn't like the idea of paying a wide receiver big bucks when the QB situation was so unsettled; after all, even the greatest wide receiver has diminished value if the team has no one who can get...

Bingo. If a team is really the best team, playing in a tournament shouldn't be frightening at all; it's just another ( and bigger) opportunity to show superiority.

Nick Saban looked really, really cold... and I don't think he appreciated the humor here:

It's true that no system is perfect, but I really despise the idea of a committee crowning a champion. I say: prove it on the field. Anyone who is clutching their pearls in anguish because we might at some point in time see a 3-loss champion must really hate the NFL playoffs as well as March...

Do you have a coach in mind who can consistently meet these expectations?

Now that's damned interesting. I was thinking that in 2025 we might expect to see a return to FleckBall ground-and-pound — seeing as how Max Brosmer will be gone, not to the mention the impending losses of both Daniel Jackson and Elijah Spencer. But maybe the staff has other plans. It will...

Here's something I think we should bear in mind: We might have gotten a tiny bit spoiled watching Max Brosmer play QB in 2024. I've been utilizing YouTube to rewatch much of the '24 Gopher football season, and damn, Max was just fun to watch. He's obviously not the tallest, or the most...
