Coping is different west of the St. Croix. But for you, coping is simple: "Ah, well... back to the tavern."

Maybe you'll stumble upon a real coach one day, and figure out your identity as a program. Hey, here's a thought: Barry Alvarez is still alive, yes? Ahhhhh, take me back to the good old days... Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, Glory days In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days...

I see it a bit differently. To me, Fleck has always run an offense that suits the strengths of his current roster of players. When he had Tanner Morgan, Rashad Bateman, Tyler Johnson and Rodney Smith he ran an offense that suited the personnel. When he had Mo Ibrahim and a bunch of gigantic...

As a football fan in general and as a Gopher fan especially, it was an absolute treat to watch Max play quarterback this season.

Locked On Badgers weighs in:

Wisconsin's 5 wins this season: Western Michigan South Dakota Purdue Rutgers Northwestern

Someone — SON, maybe? — turned me on to the Spare and a Pair podcast. It's a lot a fun, and really good (and fair) coverage of our team. So far, I've found all three of these guys (Chip Scoggins, Justin Gerard, Ryan Burns) to be a great listen.

After last season, Fleck had to deal with: — A losing season — Loss of his defensive coordinator — An immediate need to rebuild the quarterback position. Here's how Fleck responded to these problems: — He went 7-5 and was very competitive in every game. — He hired Corey Hetherman (huge...

Yep, they did it — and they did it emphatically. Dominating win.

— The Gophers win over the Badgers means that Wisconsin's streak of 22 consecutive seasons with a winning record has ended. That streak was the longest active streak among Power 4 teams. Oklahoma's streak stands at 18 seasons and Alabama at 17. How sweet it is for Gopher fans that our team ended...

Thank you! Just finished watching a thrilling overtime win in a division game on the road that allows the Vikings to keep pace with Detroit. And... we now even have a positive post, thanks to Gopher in NYC! That's a lot for Viking fans to feel good about.

But, but, but.... He's tall! He has a Big Arm! He's a really good runner!

Latest update on McNamara... Iowa QB Cade McNamara pushes back on 'rumors' about status https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42549583/iowa-qb-cade-mcnamara-pushes-back-rumors-status

To be fair, the picture we painted in our minds of the good old days of pure amateur athletics and "student athletes" was never all that true to life. Money has always made the world go around, at least to some extent. It has definitely gotten bigger, and more blatant. It's mostly all in the...

My approach is more about how to build a roster, and how the team you build works going forward. Of all the players on the field, wide receivers might be the players who are most dependent on the scheme and the players around them. A great wide receiver needs someone to throw the ball to him...

Iowa is currently second to last in the B1G in passing yards per game, and they're first in the B1G in rushing yards per game. Firing Brian Ferentz didn't change anything. Apparently, Iowa knows who they are, and believes in what they've always done. At the end of the day, it has been pretty...

This makes me think about team chemistry and cohesion. I'm assuming they can't pay their entire roster a comparable amount. Then again, coaches could possibly use it for motivation: "If you want a new Lamborghini like our superstar freshman over there, you need to earn it".

All maroon Gophers vs. all white Nittany Lions. All maroon looks awesome in that photo.

The Giants are a team in free-fall, with a coach who is waiting for a pink slip. Iowa is currently fifth in the B1G standings, behind only the four playoff B1G teams. The Hawkeyes have an excellent chance for a good bowl game and a decent season. And Ferentz's job is secure. I think Kirk is...

You rate WR and RB higher than I do in their level of importance to the team (and therefore the amount of cap space I would designate to the position), so we'll agree to disagree. I'd certainly hesitate before committing to a league-best contract for a WR, even a great WR, when I'm not sure of...
