    We've stagnated. Tough conversation below

    Don't forget about Urban Mayer

    PJ Fleck has become Jerry Kill

    I think PJ should PLAY TO WIN - Have your freshman QB start throwing the ball from the very first snap - If AK has to "eased" into his first start in front of 103,000 screaming fans then PJ has picked the wrong guy. If AK had been PLAYING TO WIN he would have thrown for a million, billion miles...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers lose to Illinois

    This. Until the line learns to block blitzes and stunts we are going to have a "bad" offense. It worked for Purdue and Illinois and it will work for everyone else until Ciarocca's figures it out. I don't thing the D was that bad - I think they were on the field for 80 plays against a very hot QB

    What to do with Tanner Morgan

    This O line does not handle blitzes and stunts very well. See Bowling Green and Ill last year and Purdue and Ill this year. Hard to win if you can't give the QB a little time.

    3 game losing streak

    Season tickets for 37 years and, yes, this is the best program I have seen.

    My theory on the loss to Purdue

    It was Homecoming. Some/many of the players had buddies, who had graduated, come back to campus. The players got together with their buddies and perhaps had a beer or two, then some more buddies showed up and it called for another beer/shot or two. Then, before they knew it - it was late -...

    3 game losing streak

    Of the 14 Big10 teams, 11 have one or more losses. The remaining 3 are OSU, Mich., and Penn State. Another way of saying this is, it is not unusual for a team to have a loss at this point in the season. I don't think MN is at the level of OSU or Mich. We may be at the level of Penn State...

    Games like these make me more excited for Kaliakmanis

    It is too bad you didn't watch the Fresno State game (I think in 2019 - someone can correct me) when, with about 5 minutes to play, trailing by a touchdown, the Gophers the got ball deep in their own end zone. First down = TM sack, Second down = TM sack, Third down and 21, I believe, with TM...

    Yard Barker: How Golden are the Gophers?

    Rossi has said on one of the pre/post game videos that the D could get a lot more sacks if they blitzed more BUT they would also give up more big plays AND stopping big/explosive plays is a more important stat if you want to win games. As BtownGopher noted above, when Rossi does blitz they...

    I am the one who knocks

    We may have. I noticed it for the first time during the NMS game

    I am the one who knocks

    I read somewhere on the web that this is the slogan the defense (or perhaps the entire team) has adopted for itself this season. If you are not familiar with the quote, it is from the TV series Breaking Bad. The past couple of games the scoreboard has posted a message to the effect "Can you...

    Neb lost to Georgia Southern

    Does this mean they won't be Big10 Champs like they thought they would be at the beginning of the season? Bwwaahahahaha!!!! I am laughing so hard I may lose control of some of my bodily functions.

    NEB vs NW Game Thread

    First, I hate Iowa with the heat of a 1,000 suns. (I grew up an Iowa State fan. No love lost between the two Iowa teams) Next, I hate Nebraska with the heat of 900 suns. I watched the 1983 Nebraska beatdown of the Gophers 84 -13. Osbourne left the first team in until half way into the 4th...

    Reassure me about the Defensive Line

    I was at Thursday's practice and, while I forgot my glasses!!:-( and had a hard time making out individual players, I was VERY impressed with the defense. They were not tackling to the ground, rather just grabbing the RB. The RBs would struggle, break free and head down field. If you weren't...

    Sanford will not be back next year - Opinion not news

    Sanford will not be back. Here's why. There are a few assumptions I think we can all agree on. Fleck is not stupid, Fleck actually watches the games. So far this year, Fleck has watched two games that we absolutely should have won, BG and IL, one game that we certainly could have won, IA, and...

    Demry should be better next year.

    I think Demry has grown a lot over the last 4 games. I also think it is obvious to everyone that he has a ways to go however... I think spring ball is 15 practices and fall ball is is 30 practices and, if we make a bowl game with 5 wins, that would be 15 more practices for a total of 60 or...

    What are you looking for Thursday night?

    What will you be curious about Thursday evening? Of course, everyone will be watching the quarterback play, that goes without saying. I re-watched the Western Michigan / Wisconsin game and noticed that frequently the WMU running backs were getting past the line of scrimmage into Wisconsin's...

    New Book on EOAA Process - Read and Weep

    I think all GopherHolers interested in the sexual assault should follow the link and gain a well researched look at campus "sexual assault" Even if you don't agree you might gain insight into a different perspective...

    Where are the lawsuits?

    Didn't Hutton say he was going to sue everyone? Well... What is he waiting for? Wouldn't a lawsuit before the hearing force the U and the EOAA to make sure the students got a fair hearing? Anyone have any insight as to why lawsuits haven't been filed?
