    How The Gopher's will upset Oregon

    Northwestern ran the ball on Oregon to start the game. If Northwestern can run the ball so can Minnesota. Oregon then changed their defense to stop the run forcing NW to go to the passing game. The problem is - NW isn't very good in the passing game. Lindsey will carve up Oregon if they try...

    Gophers Open -2.5 vs Cal Bears

    This is a GOOD team - one of the best in the last 50 years. I NEVER bet but... I put $100 on Gophs. Lindsey is the real deal

    Can Drake throw the ball 40 yards in the air?

    He comes from a very rich family (Almost certainly multiple 100s of millions) so immediate money will not be the factor it would be with some other kids. I think perfecting his craft so he could be the number one pick in the draft and winning a national championship will be bigger factors. He...

    Nebraska

    Hope you were in the stands for the 2017 game. We put up 54 on Neb. The most we put up on anyone that year. I think the Gopher QB was Denny Croft and he ran a couple long option keepers for TDs that were back breakers for Neb. I had some Neb fans right in front of me and it was a...

    Was there an open practice last night?

    I must have misunderstood. I thought the Family Day had been moved to the 14 and the the open practice on the 12 was the one normally scheduled for the media that they just happened to open for everyone. I need to drink more coffee I guess!

    Max Brosmer's Secret Weapon to make the cut

    Max's secret weapon to make the cut? His brain - he is one of the smarter guys around and O'Connell's offense is complex. Max said, in an MSM article linked by Matt in another thread "We put a ton of work in since OTAs and minicamp, and it's difficult learning this offense. It's one of the...

    Open Practice (Family Day) will be August 2 at 6:00 PM

    Anyone who goes, I have a list of questions: First a disclaimer - there was a lot of mix and match tonight so it wasn't the first team against second team but rather this group of guys vrs that group of guys. So... it was had for me to ger a read on how good our O or D will look but there were...

    ‘Slap in the Face’ Motivates Gophers New QB Drake Lindsey

    Drake won't leave the Gophers because; 1) Don't forget Grandpa played for the Vikes for 7 years. Drake has said he has fond memories of coming to Vike games with Grandpa after Jim (I think that is the name) retired. Drake has also said he has positive memories of Minneapolis as well. 2)...

    Different Vibe

    That is how I remember it as well. I think PJ mentioned it at the press conference.

    Steve Hartman / Malachi Coleman/ Inspirational Turn Around

    I think Steve Hartman was Sid's youngest kid. Did human interest stories here, much like the Coleman story, and then headed for LA. Has done well out there I think.

    Short Ornery Norwegian...

    Yes, Loon had great observations about games - a very knowledgeable guy. Wren, AKA, Walrus is well known for "Only Big10 wins count". I believe Loon got sick and tired of arguing with some of the morons on this board and left. I have enjoyed reading both of them.

    Phillip Daniels already linked to Ohio State, tampering?

    My understanding is Dad was not happy with his son's "experience " at LSU - and I don't mean football experience - and Dad decided Fleck's program was what Jr. needed.

    Gophers ‘absolutely’ will seek a quarterback in NCAA transfer portal

    If you have watched Drake throw in practice you can see he has all the talent in the world - on the pre-game KFAN radio before the Penn State game Gaard interviewed Brosmer and Max raved about Drake's ability. Max said (not an exact quote - I'm paraphrasing here )" I have seen a lot of QBs both...

    Any chance Max could stay around next year to coach Drake?

    I think Drake has all the physical talent in the world but still... he will only be a sophomore next year. I think Max has all the mental talent in the world so... could he stay around for next year to keep Drake coached up? I know he might get drafted but that doesn't always work out for...

    Open Practice - 8/3

    I agree with all of the positive comments about Max, but one thing I observed, that has not been mentioned, is his ability to know/see/guess where the open receiver will be in zone coverage. We all know zone coverage has “holes” - spots on the field where the defender is not particularly close...

    2 ideas to improve Gopher football - need feedback

    THIS !! Getting LOTS of exposure should be cheap and fairly easy. So many obvious things are not done or, as far as I know, not even tried. Listen to caliGopher - email, for all intents and purposes, is free. Lord knows, I'm bombarded with marketing emails everyday - if I were to get one...
