2019 - Gophers went 3-0 vs G5 and 3-0 vs Power 5, got ranked, won two more, reached #8 before losing at Iowa. Finished at #10. 2020 - Gophers were ranked #21 in the preseason but immediately lost big to Michigan and had a bad year. Bye bye ranking. 2021 - Gophers got ranked #20 after going 6-2...

Is there actually a coach alive that has the amount of juju required to break the Ganglehoff/Pioneer Press curse that's been looming over the program since 2000? I'm skeptical.

I think most of us that have played basketball at any level could walk out to our frozen driveways and drop at least 5 of 10 free throws right now. Don't most high school teams shoot well above 60%?

All the examples I gave were after multiple losses.

Coming off a 10-win season last year, the Irish already had a road win vs #20 A&M, dropped all the way from #5 to #18 after losing to NIU, then beat Purdue by 59 points and followed that up with a lot more beat downs. I don't think that's comparable in any way to what the Gopher have done at any...

Nope. Take a look at the schedules since 2021 and tell me where the Gophers should have been ranked where they weren't. I think they got ranked in 2021 before the Illinois game then lost. In 2022, I believe they got ranked after smashing MSU then lost to Purdue. In 2024, they would have been...

Consistency and explosiveness on offense.

The 2021 season set the Gophs back in terms of reputation. Still riding the 2019 waves coming out of COVID, that 2021 team was ranked in the pre-season and had the talent to compete with the best. A ton of key injuries and head scratching loss to Bowling Green eliminated any goodwill they built...

I saw it on X this morning. Someone in the comment section quickly pointed out that it shorted Penn State some wins, so it's not perfect. Still, it points out that teams like A&M, Miami, USC and others have spent a lot of time ranked early in the season on reputation only to eventually get...

A lot of Morgan’s deep ball success in 2019 was having NFL quality receivers that would turn a 50/50 ball into a 90/10, often slightly under thrown back shoulder stuff. We just haven’t seen much of that since then. Jackson had the ability but didn’t seem to run many deep routes.

Jeez, we only only charged $3 a cup in the late 80s. We could have paid more rent at $5.

In celebration of the Duke's Mayo Bowl win, I'm gonna thaw a pack of awesome Greg's Meats bacon tomorrow (highly recommended), slice up some hot house tomaters, and prepare a BLT slathered in Duke's. Mmmm.

Just saw on Sports Center that Perich completely de-cleated a tackler on the last interception by Bryan. I love it.

Where the fuck is the Mayo dump. Damn it, I waited all night for it!

IKR!

I've given Geers grief multiple times for the dropsies but he went up to get that ball!

V formation.

Just re-read my post... LOL. Worded very poorly!

The announcers just mentioned that the Gophs have more starters out than VTech. Was it sarcasm?
