Dude! More athletic than Harrison Smith? A 6'2" and 215 pound future hall of famer? Described as an "ultra-athletic, big and smart safety" in his NFL draft profile and still showing it in his 13th year in the NFL at age 35? Seriously, the guy is 35 and still playing at a very high level in...

It seems like a decent number of first year coaches have a good first year partly because a lot of their best players transfer from their previous school. Indiana had 13 players transfer in from JMU. I doubt Dignetti brought his bad players with him. It's like a normal transfer portal year on...

BEST 3-3 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY (RANKED #41) ACCORDING TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS!!! https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/college-football-rankings-week-7-teams-26-50-nebraska-michigan-colorado-2024 Hey, beggars can't be choosers. Ha!

Night and day vs. his first game vs. UNC. He learned in the UNC game that he was not an athletic quarterback at this level. Getting run down by a 300 pounder will do that to you. Since then, he still runs, but rarely and opportunistically. He heads straight up field and gets down after...

Brosmer is getting better and more comfortable every game he plays.

This team and coaching staff have been grinding away hard and finally got one!!!

I agree. If the season is lost and even a bowl game is out at some point, then let Lindsey get some run if he's any good. It would make recruiting receivers easier if you can show a semi-competent passing game with a young quarterback that should be around for a while.

Still a decent chance with health and some improvement that we go 6-6 on the year with a bowl win for a winning season. Injuries will be key because no teams are that deep anymore. It's a waste of our second bye having it right before Penn State. Take that extra week off to prepare for...

I prefer the current SEC model by far. I'd rather have only 8 conference games and four non-con with two from P4 and two below (preseason) until something changes in NIL or revenue sharing to make the money and recruiting more equal. Where is Minnesota going to find wins otherwise? It is more...

Iowa was like a warm up game for Michigan. Very similar teams. Iowa State is turning out to be a very good team and barely beat Iowa. I think Iowa vs. Michigan would be a toss up game. Too bad they don’t play this year. Heard Iowa returned 21 of 22 starters from last year. Seems like half...

I agree! Like many have said, it gives us the chance to wear out the opponent defense line and help our below average OL. It maximizes Brosmer's high QB IQ. I was very disappointed our defense could not stiffen up in the red zone early in the game. The turnovers sucked, but holding Michigan...

I wish we had him another year too! I've thought that frequently. He's doing very well considering it's his first year running our offense, has a poor offensive line and below average receivers aside from Daniel Jackson. We might pick up some excellent WRs from the portal that would like to...

I think you're right, but things could go better in other ways: 1) We figure out a way to use some of the TV money to pay players so we get a sort of salary cap floor in the B1G. 2) Our coaches get better at their job - head coach, DC, OC. 3) Our players get used to our completely...

Remember how different the posts were back then? How different our hopes and expectations were? It seems like a million years ago! Most of us were surprised by our bad 2023 and 2024 looks like it will be worse. I thought this would be a bounce back year! Not likely. I'm 51 and a life long...

I just watch and assume we are the underdog during most B1G games so if we win it's a bonus! I'm also not opposed to moving on to something else if things start to go bad. I do like your idea however. I'm sure tons of the lifelong Gopher/Minnesota sports fans on here have their various coping...

I also park a little ways away and walk. I figure with the beer and the fatty food, a 20 minute walk each way isn't bad and I avoid all the traffic.

You might be on to something. Are some of the problems even above PJ's paygrade? Have we had high paid assistants before PJ? I don't know. I heard some other B1G programs cut a lot more sports than we have and just funneled all that money into football. Has anyone else heard this?

I agree with both of you, NotAFan and oldman, recruiting is an issue, but it's also coaching. Recruiting has always been an issue for Minnesota because we don't have a good recruiting footprint, but we're not the only Big Ten program with that issue. If you have poor recruiting, then you...

My main takeaway from the Gopher Gridiron podcast today was from former Gopher offensive lineman, Derek Burns. The Gophers do not have enough speed at receiver and their offensive lineman have trouble with slow feet. He said the best way to correct this is just better recruiting which...

I disagree! We went for and got a fourth down in our own end in the third quarter today (before the game was even out of hand) and threw the ball a ton today, just not effectively. Ha! We had over 200 passing yards to Iowa’s 62. We’re now trending towards level #2! Last year was 4 and a few...
