Fielding "a competitive team" But being able to field "a competitive team" with Minnesota kids isn't really the issue. The issue is: what MN lids did Fleck miss on that would be projected as starters, or even backups, for the Gophers this coming year. I'd like to see your list of those players.

It's almost a wonder he ran that fast.

Would the NCAA and conferences keep the current bowl tie-ins? Assuming so, with OSU, UM, PSU and wisconsin gone from the B1G,I like the Gopher's chances of getting to Pasadena before I die!

FWIW, the Gophers record for assists in a season is 207, held by none other than Marcus Carr. He did that last year, finished 2nd in the B1G and 9th in the country in assists. Why this year turned out like it did is obviously up for debate.

I still recall the Gopher's upset of Indiana Curry's freshman year, when Akeem Springs missed a three but followed his shot and made the layup. On the replay I noticed that Curry, standing on the weak side, was boxed out, and rather than going for the rebound and risking an over-the-back call...

Can he juggle on a unicycle?

That's exactly what I'm saying, you'll get no argument from me on that point.

I read Dakota2's post as saying it was contemptuous to point out that Mpls. had more people than Alexandria. That's what I was responding to. I'll stay out of it.

I think his point seems pretty straightforward--if there were so many people who are convinced that Alex is a better place to live than Minneapolis, why don't more people live in Alex than Minneapolis? On the main topic, 'm very happy that Kristen opted for the Gophers, hope he can make an...

Ideally no. I'm no great football mind, but as I understand it, the pin-pull blocking scheme on a sweep is designed to seal the play-side DE and OLB, and leave the CB to deal with someone like Jonathan Taylor or Mo Ibrahim coming at you at 60 m.p.h. Off the top of my head I recall during the...

Recent Gopher offer: Still working the pipeline from Illinois.

Glad I won't have to watch him returning punts and kickoffs against the Gophers. Oregon's probably a good spot for him.

Apokogies if someone has already mentioned it, but Cretin's drop off in football has also been dramatic. Eastridge seems to be the best program in the east metro right now, but they don't churn out P5 talent at anywhere near the level Cretin used to.

Joe Bjorkland, OL at the U Jacob Smith, OL at BYU Jackson Erdmann walked on at Penn State but transferred to St. John's where he won the Gagliardi trophy. Zach Vraa rewrote the record books as a WR at NDSU. Not P5 obviously, but I think the Gophers could have easily found a spot for him...

I know this will come off as "we cooled on him," but the question I've always had is: what position would Dickerson have played for the Gophers? He's listed as a CB, but when I watched Dickerson's highlights, the first thing that popped into my head was " how's he going to set the edge...

An interesting read on how the Vols got into their current predicament: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/.amp/college/2021/01/18/tennessee-jeremy-pruitt-fired-fulmer On the one hand, I can't see why Fleck would want to walk into such a dysfunctional mess. The potential for serious NCAA...

Make that four: all-B1G DT Jerome Johnson just opted for the NFL draft as well. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.indystar.com/amp/6655997002

I miss the games against UND. Couldn't stomach ever losing to them, and I'll admit my interest waned for a time. But I think long term, the B1G conference will be good for college hockey.

I watched a little of the Illinois/Duke game and Bezhanishvili blasted his shoulder into the Duke defender's sternum and bounced him back two steps, then did it again with no call. If the defensive player had done that, they would have called a flagrant foul. I know that's called "B1G...

I think he went back to the Mannung camp.
