    On the topic of going for 2

    Part of this is what makes football fun. Every strategy has risk and reward. I think going for two was a pretty obvious call given the score and game time, even though there were scenarios where we later wish we had had the one point if we miss it (though, has others have noted, us kicking the...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    They aren't mutually exclusive. The people who criticize the conservative play calling aren't asking for reckless decisions at weird times.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Agreed. That's the kind of thing you do with a lead when you're worried our defense can't stop them. Don't understand why you risk giving them the shortfield when they can't move the ball.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    So we ran the clock at the end of the half because potentially giving Illinois the ball with 45 seconds was too risky. But, when Illinois is down a touchdown and our defense is stopping them, we decide to chance it on a 4th and 12 fake punt?

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    We got to 7-1 the following week beating Purdue. We were favored at home the following week against Northwestern, and in my opinion, the highwater mark of the Brewster era came after we erased a 10-0 lead in that game, got a stop to get the ball back in the fourth quarter, and it seemed like...

    2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season

    To your number 4, Im quite alright with that. A hockey team doesn't need to throw their weight around to be successful, but you can't be successful if you have trouble handling other teams throwing theirs around.

    Busting Brackets: Big Ten Basketball: Preseason power rankings for 2024-25 season (16. Minnesota)

    It's fun to see that Wisconsin lost to Northern Iowa, but i don't put much stock in secret scrimmage results. I don't know to what extent starters played or the coaches used the scrimmage to test out different combinations or plays.

    I'm having a lot of trouble with how I'm going to evaluate the team this year. It feels like just making the tournament would be a big step forward for the coach. But, if we make the tournament and don't get past the first weekend, it still feels like it would be a very inadequate four years...

    But it would have had an amazing spiral! That's how you identify good quarterbacks, right?

    2024-2025 Gopher Soccer

    This was a really fun regular season. Wish my schedule allowed me to try to go to the home playoff games. Anyone with more knowledge than I have know what we need to make the big tournament? I'm not saying I think we will win the conference tournament, but we've got enough quality wins to...

    Does he move well for someone who doesn't move well? Or does he move poorly for someone who moves well?

    My Big Ten Power Rankings after Week 8

    That is the same problem I've had with the national championship. It seems patently unjust that any sports team be in a situation where they could never lose and not be champions at the end. I'm not aware of any championship anywhere in the sports world other than FBS football where that is the...

    Indiana

    I think we are one undefeated OSU or Michigan team being excluded from a conference championship game away from having a new tie breaking protocol. Heck, maybe they will change the rules after the games were played but before the championship game like they did in 2020. (I know 2020 was a weird...

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Rough start to the conference season. Frustrating to be two weekends in and already feeling like we are out of the race for a conference title. I know its a long season and that feels premature, but we've already lost twice as many games as OSU did in conference play all season, so even if we...
