I just don't want to go back to the early days of Coach Fleck when all the teams had to do was run a sweep or some outside run or pass and it was an easy 20 yards. No team was beating us up the middle, but we would give them 600 yards around the edge. Very thankful they switch DC then. Fleck...

Amazing get. On a pitching staff at East Ridge that had 2 other SEC baseball recruits I thought he was the most complete pitcher. Even without the value add to our baseball team (which is immense) as a punter he is easily top 5 in the nation if not the best. Great get!!

I am shocked at how poorly our defense is ranked. They have NFL level talent at every level. I get the don't compete with the tops in the conference, but being in the bottom 4 in every category seems strange.

I love how people don't want to give Fleck the credit. How many players were recruited by and coached by other coaches before and still didn't make the NFL. Recruited by others and coached for 2 years or more by Fleck = a Fleck player. There is no problem crediting both the person who saw...

We will find out a lot about our passing attack this season. 1.) Is Max the stud we hope he is? 2.) Do our OC's know how to create a passing attack? - If Athan succeeds at Rutgers and this year is more of the same you better believe the pressure will be on them and how PJ hires OC...

We have potential NFL talent at every level on Defense and Offense. If our QB flashes that he could be a late round selection, this team could be special. The challenge is that is a lot of "what ifs" because it means counting on player development and coaching. In years past I would be...

How does the 6th best RB room in the country not have a single RB makes any of the top 4 B1G teams? Teams 5-6 must be stacked with Gophers.

Is Fleck a bad coach that is a 9-win guy or is Minnesota a program that is hard to get 9 wins? Fleck has done a amazing job getting our program to a place that I would say is a step below Iowa, WI and Nebraska (all for different reasons). I think our program is close to be on par with them...

I can see this going one of two ways. 1.) Toxic parenting where a dad thinks way to much of their child and is willing to make a side show mockery of them just to get ahead. or 2.) He is just a regula Dad who sees how impressed others are by the size and ability of an 11 year old and sees an...

I think last year we had a terrible offense and you have to wonder was it all the QB or was play calling particially to blame. If it was the new OC's than the new pieces will not make a lot a difference. Then we have an unproven DC and while once again the pieces look good, their is no...

With Booty holding the ball and Iowa still not scoring, I bet that will make Iowa fans sore.

I hope that the Gophers marketing team will have the crowd / student section doing something during that came to constantly punk the Iowa fans.

When you are a developmental program, you want kids to stay that have the potential to grow. The only kids you want to leave are ones who haven't shown the ability to develop and don't look like they will ever contribute at this level. So being on the lower end of those that transfer out is...

You can't row the boat with Booty, but Booty sure makes the boat worth rowing.

While I know comparison can be the killer of joy, I though it would be interesting to see how we stack up against our rivals in the recent past. I would imagine this will impact recruiting. Since 2020: Drafted from Minnesota: 15 (5 in first 2 rounds) Drafted from Iowa: 19 (7 in first 2...

B1G!!!! What a great start to this recruiting class!! Great job Fleck!

Amazingly B1G get. Can't remember starting out with all of our recruits being so filled with solid offer lists. Great start and we are just getting going.

Part of me hopes Taylor loses the bid to keep the Twolves and the Gophers can convince him to bank roll a great Gopher team so we can complete for seats against the Twolves. Would be fun to see those two teams compete for the spotlight. Taylor would love the good press and sticking it to the...

The next Iowa OC and future Hawkeye coach is.....

Mar is when things start to heat up and June is when it seems like the boat starts getting full. If we are only at 10 recruits committed by the end of June, then we can start saying things have changed. I personally have no problem with pivoting. Our OC and DC are still fairly fresh at doing...
