Those years were some of the most exciting times for the Gopher football team that I have ever witnessed. We have had a number of coaches since then, but never have things been so exciting or have I been so optimistic for the future. It was very fun to be a Gopher fan -- until it crashed and...

They used to run the QB sneak/QB draw like 25 times a game when he was here. lol. Mitch was a pretty tough kid though and he gave his best. Can't ask for more than that. If you want someone better than go out and recruit someone better or coach him up. That's on the coaches....

This thread has lasted a lot longer than the Vikings playoff run!!

You never know with injuries and such. I am certain Potts is trying to get back to where he was before the injury - if he could do that he could still be very successful here!

True!!

I feel a little sorry for Western Michigan as we have poached their coach a few years ago and now we are taking three of their best players!! I know you felt we were good at RB from exchanges we have had on here but I feel a lot better about our RB situation now with this new Sean Tyler...

Gopher fans should take it as a compliment that other big name teams are considering PJ Fleck as their coach. While I do not want him to leave, I guess it beats the alternative that NOBODY would want him!! Reply Report Edit Delete

It was an awful game - Georgia had far superior talent, but TCU looked miserable with defensive players out of position. This allowed huge chunk plays and the embarrassing result. I had hoped it would be close, but I turned it off at halftime because I knew where this one was going very early on.

They had guys like Butch Lee and Bo Ellis who went on to play in the NBA. Al McGuire was the coach, too. They had a great team! Mychal Thompson was drafted ahead of Larry Bird in his draft -- wish we would have gotten his son to play here too!!

This was the first year I ever followed Gopher basketball and I really picked a great year! I eagerly awaited every game and listened to all the games on the radio with Ray Christensen announcing on WCCO. The Gophers finished 15-3 in the Big Ten and 24-3 overall and had an absolutely fantastic...

Like you, I do not have a problem with Fleck's recruiting because you can tell from the results we are right there talent-wise, especially with Wisconsin and Iowa. We aren't getting blown out by teams just from talent alone like we used to do fairly regularly. I believe the playing field has...

Also -- think about this one. If he had offered Rossi 1.5M to be the DC we would have HAD to match it. Bottom line -- he overpayed and he hired the wrong one!!! LOL

He does not get high marks from me for this season - our offense simply was not that good. He also was bounced out of PSU the year before. I thought Morgan regressed quite a bit and the play calling was suspect at times. I wouldn't have fired him here but I would have been watching him...

That was a rough patch for sure. Mike Hohensee was a bright spot and we had some good players but that got pretty ugly fast after he left.

I sure hope not!!! It's always easier leaving the second time than it was the first and there isn't any chance for a third time!

LOL -- I think it went something like this: KC - PJ - I am afraid I have some bad news for you - I am leaving again to go to Rutgers. PJ -- What? Didn't you just get a hefty raise a month ago? KC - Yeah but I want to go back home again. PJ - How did that work out for you last time? It was only...

Well..........Ciarrocca had a great run the first time here and QB Morgan was at one time projected as a first round draft pick. Since then Ciarrocca was bounced out of Penn St. after one year and the Gopher offense did not impress too much this year. Morgan regressed and will probably not be...

Hopefully Fleck learns from this and doesn't make the same mistake again. The better team did not win that game -- but the smarter one did!

they are very good -- but I think Fleck finally has as much or more talent than they do. He has really levelled the playing field vs. Iowa and Wisconsin even though the results vs. Iowa aren't quite there. But we go into the game as a coin flip and eventually those games are going to start...

It sets a bad precedence to take him back at this point. You tell everyone on the team that they can leave to try out a year somewhere else and we will take you back if it doesn't work out. I can see a college coach saying -- "If you leave in the portal you are not coming back." With that said...
