Actually there isn't a ton to unpack at all. All of Schsuzer's points are valid. Never did I say that anything else in Schauzer's post was wrong or irrelevant, but to me #2 was the most important First, the right call was made. So, there is that and I did say that in the post 1) #2 is all that...

Point #2 is the key here. The Gophers did not let up. They did not think it was a fair catch. PJ did not react at all when it wasn't blown dead, other than to stare on in disbelief. BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS. Iowa has gotten away with a lot of BS against us over the years, including running the...

I expect he'll change as well. Kaliakmanis is rated higher than Drake, but that's with three years of experience. He's a known quantity, so he's where he's, barring some significant change in his play (which is unlikely); he's in the range for his ceiling. For Lindsey, the number means more...

New here?

c'mon, if the QB at Wisconsin, A 3*** recruit, had a total of 5 snaps prior to this season, and was predicted to lead the Badgers to the Play-offs, we'd be ridiculing that prediction. I get Lindsay has a chip on his shoulder about being overlooked by Arkansas. Every QB worth their salt in...

You read it wrong. The phrase used was "they haven't finished inside the top 25 since" (they were 18th in the final playoff rankings before the bowls/playoff, and finished 10th in the final AP and Coaches poll.

Solution: Play Buffalo and BFE State in your first two games. Problem solved.

The Full List: 1. Penn State 4. Ohio State* 7. Oregon* 11. Michigan 16. USC 18. Indiana 23. Illinois 25. Iowa* 26. Minnesota 27. Washington 32. Nebraska* 42. Wisconsin* 43. Michigan St* 44. Rutgers* 53. UCLA 63. Maryland 67. Northwestern* 68. Purdue* Of note, Cal* is ranked 59, Buffalo is...

It was AJ's Mom's friend if I recall correctly. She definitely needs a statue.

Controversial take - Jack Trice.

I agree that the West was competitive -- with each other. When the conference title game came around, the East was 10-0 in the 10 years of the East/West structure. The average score was 35.2 to 14.5. The last three had an average score of 37 to 8. While there were a few close games early on...

Riddle me this, Batman. How on earth does VaTech have a 12.5% chance? I don't follow them, but they couldn't even put together a decent 2nd String with what they put on the field in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. They're recruiting was one spot behind the Gophers for 2025 overall at 44th. Perhaps we...

There are three kinds of lies. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics - Mark Twain. This post aims to highlight that you are not comparing apples to apples when evaluating Fleck's conference record in comparison to previous coaches, without taking anything away from Fleck's accomplishments. There...

Tabloid's deserve more respect than this comment. This is such non-news. This is the new reality. Coming off a decent season, why take a swipe? Perhaps you missed the memo that when we took our famous stand against the evils of college sports in 1961, the outcome has taken 30 years to start to...

And yet we have a respectable list of upsets and great wins starting in the last 80's and throughout the '90s that helped to get the program to where it is today. The history of Gopher football post 1961 is rough, I agree, but we turned a corner with the hiring of Holtz, no matter how much...

Soooooo beating #5 Penn State isn't relevant?

80's and most of the 90's you might not have been paying attention..... Great Wins In My Gopher fandom (since 1987): Gutekunst Era 1989 @ Iowa 43 - 7, Iowa wasn't great that year, but beating a rival at home by that score was awesome 1990 vs. #20 Indiana 12 - 0 1990 vs. #13 Iowa 31 - 24...

We've had some great wins under Fleck. The program, with the exception of the Tim Brewster era has been pretty stable since 1999. Fleck has taken that up a small notch, but up it has gone. If the measurement is we're stable and slightly better than before? sure that list make sense. The Duke's...

All wins are good wins. Some of what you have on here are not highlight reel wins, program defining wins, or stepping stone wins. A lot of these are wins against average to below average teams that are milestones wins. The milestones are good. The wins? All wins are good, but if we're...

There is always hope. Any ranking right now is conjecture. Rankings 13 and 8 could be interchangeable in the grand scheme of things. We have question marks, but so do other schools. If the players come together and if the O-line coaching staff figures out how to maximize the players' skills, we...
