Every year, it's the same question: will we be able to find a comparable replacement for... ... Carter Coughlin? ... John Michael Schmitz? ... Rodney Smith? ... Antoine Winfield Jr.? ... Jordan Howden? ... Mo Ibrahim? ... Daniel Faalele? ... Rashad Bateman? ... Tyler Johnson? ... Tyler Nubin...

If you were making the decision, which coach (of the available ones) would you hire as coach at the U?

Exactly. He needs to find a new source of joy in his life, since Gopher football just ain't doing it for him. Me, I'm having a lot of fun as a Gopher fan. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see 'mediocrity' everywhere I look. I see an enthusiastic, likable team that plays really hard. I...

Fleck's ownership of the Badgers and their fans makes me very, very happy. I can't stop watching this, for example:

Ferentz is the kind of guy who deliberately lies about punt return rules regarding hand signals. But then, he was only lying and obfuscating to protect his star player's reputation, so he had extremely noble intentions.

I understand that this is a projection for the future, but if we look back on 2024 results we can feel pretty good about beating #26 USC and #17 Illinois, as well as giving #6 Penn State and #13 Michigan all they could handle. Gopher football punching above their weight class, perhaps? Also, I...

I was always an admirer of Reusse's talent. A fine writer. I was disappointed in him when he seemed to decide to become an internet troll rather than a sportswriter. We already have plenty of internet trolls, and there are damn few gifted writers. Pat now seems to have realized that mere...

A true beat writer is more of a reporter and less of an editorialist. A columnist is more opinion driven.

Who do you like in the upcoming 2025 game in Kinnick Stadium?

Regarding the highlighted part of the quote: Ummmmm... huh?!? Columnists 'rip' teams all the time. Constantly. So do radio and TV people. Sometimes it seems that's all they do.

Record-wise, Fleck is a good comparison to Leach. Mason? Mmmm... no. Not so much. According to their respective Wiki pages... Fleck's career record is 86-61. By my sometimes shaky arithmetic, that's a winning percentage of .585 (which is in the same ballpark as Leach's)...

This is really, really heartwarming. I love it. The search for Wisconsin's next coach has probably already begun. They change coaches like most people change clothes.

Are you new to Gopher Hole? The opponent is always unbeatable... until the home team beats them. After that, the opponent was obviously terrible. Or the home team was lucky. Or... on and on. It's a Minnesota thing.

This is a really interesting graphic. What surprised me most is Wisconsin. Wow. Badger fans all seem to think they have some sort of rich history as a program, but in reality they barely — and I mean barely — make it out of the realm of N/A irrelevance.

Well written, well reasoned and insightful. It's a rare preseason piece that doesn't read like AI-generated, formulaic pablum. I agree that the Iowa game will be pivotal. As other Gopher Hole posters have said, the 2025 season may well come down to how well our new QB and our revamped...

Yeah, we'll make sure to ring you up immediately. You'll be the first one notified. Until then please feel free to pursue other interests that you find more compelling.

The number of bowl wins over the period is equal to Ohio State and Alabama. That's simply a fact. In that context, the tweet is accurate. But no need to worry, you definitely made your point and you even included an "lol" just for good measure. We all get exactly what it is you're trying to...

Thanks for posting this. The Gophers are in impressive company!

No, no, no... you were right all along.

Arm strength!!! The Deep ball!!!!! I'm all in.
