    Doom & gloom for some as Fleck rows harder. Old expectations linger longer. Gophers bash Hoosiers, still some don’t care. SCOGGINS: “Let down feelings haunt internet posters…” Expectations bum out part of the base. In spite of fan unrest, Gophers battle Badgers for crown of B T West!

    “Most disappointing season in my time being a fan…” may be the saddest display of expectations induced GROUP depression recorded when rowing…

    That’s the problem in Big Ten Football. Most times expectations for something like football are fatally flawed by our own assumptions and personal bias about our players or other teams players. For crying out loud, S.O.N., it’s easy to make assumptions and have expectations about Ohio State...

    How long will your lifetime be? “… it ain’t over until it’s over…” perhaps this year isn’t the last year that this coach, this team, this program has a chance to win the Big Ten West for you. Perhaps the sun will come up tomorrow… or for a season In the future. Heck, maybe the Holy Grail lies...

    I think the Coach and his staff are doing their best too. Sometimes fan expectations are not based in the reality of competing in the Big Ten Conference. Fans really do not have the ability to EXPECT their opinion will be achieved six to 12 months in advance of the next season. There are too...

    PJ Monday presser

    Just what are your expectations for next year without Sanford? Without many of the offensive linemen? Without #47? Sometimes too many expectations kicks the crap out of a good fan who has great expectations. And: just what was your expectation for this 2021 Gopher Team. Too bad you didn’t...

    Unpopular opinion

    I totally agree with your final summation. I am just plain tired of all the hate on this board being directed and focused ONLY on the passing game. And: Iowa’s STRENGTH is their defense taking away the ball, stopping the run and giving their offense SHORT fields to work on. They only scored...

    Unpopular opinion

    People have been trashing the offense here all season long. Even when the Gophers won four BT in succession. In that Iowa game the offense kept the defense off the field for 40 minutes. They ONLY had to defend Iowa 20 minutes and Iowa scored 27 points. Had Iowa had the ball for 30 minutes...

    Most disappointing season in my time being a fan

    We are each very replaceable, Replacement Gopher. A mind is a terrible thing to make up after a tough loss. Just remember: a mind can be quite easily changed as well. Beat Indiana, Gopher.

    What if the well rested Gopher defense had…

    So, the two td passes the Gophers scored weren’t complimentary? I’m not saying the passing isn’t important. I am pretty impatient with the constant and never ending claims that most of this board is making that this loss was caused by the qb. The two td passes Minnesota got from their offense...

    What if the well rested Gopher defense had…

    How many times do we see a nice kick off return negated by an illegal block…returned only to the 15 Yard line. Kick returns are some of the most common flag throwing events for the refs…and some of the most dangerous for the players. Risk/Reward mean anything? Taking the ball on the 25 isn’t...

    What if the well rested Gopher defense had…

    But, all of them resulted in some points for the Iowa offense. With All the points given up by the Gopher defense considering the fact that Iowa was limited to only TWENTY minutes of offense because the Gopher offense kept the Iowa offense on the sidelines for 40 minutes of the game imagine how...

    What if the well rested Gopher defense had…

    Tackled better on third and long situations rather than giving up numerous first downs? Iowa would have had more three and outs and less big play opportunities and would have given the Gopher offense better field position and not as many long fields to drive. What if the well rested Gopher...

    Disappointing Year

    My heart goes out to you and your expectations. Guess you are done for the year with my Gophers based upon what you say. So sad, too bad. I see a couple more Big Ten games coming up and then a bowl game. Just remember, it’s a long time until the 2022 Big Ten Football season rolls around. I...

    Week 10 Bowl Projections

    Damn, as much as so many posters on this board are putting down Fleck, his coaches and the players, I’d probably say: very brewsteresque. Man, some of the posters here are expressing their hate of what I think has the possibility to be a damn fine Big Ten season. It’s time for the Gopher...

    At least I know who they are, and know that they have people they answer to. Who did you say you were again? Have a nice day.

    Sorry , I can’t buy a bunch of fan opinions over the program PAID Coach and his PAID Staff members opinion when it comes to knowing how the heck to coach the U of M football team in the month of November. I’ve known plenty of fans who have told me they know more than the people who are PAID to...
