    Coyle Deserves some heat

    Don’t worry, sir. I’m sure Coyle will spring back from your spirited and very severe dressing down! 😂 It was a bad day to be a Gopher fan, I’ll grant you…a real tough bounce for Fleck, Coyle, the team and everyone who saw the game. But, next Saturday, maybe the Gopher will re-coil down in...

    Post Game Reaction Thread: Illini Beat Gophers

    So now we don’t have to worry when our fans say the kinds of things some of them say when ever the team the coach is totally in charge of looses a game. Is it the fault of the head coach…some assistant coach who has to kow tow to the head coach…the players??? Or, every last one of the people...

    You make the call - do you fire Frost?

    Re: Dr. Tom. I believe that his larger than life in Nebraska (his political career and the much larger than life amount of respect, admiration and hero worship that he commanded with the citizens of CornHusker Nation made it almost impossible for for any Coach following him to ever claim that...

    You make the call - do you fire Frost?

    Perhaps they are more patient than some here think they could be or are with Frost. Trev Alberts was also a Nebby great player. Maybe he is a Frost buddy, fan and wants to create some stability as an AD. Maybe the long shadow of Dr. Tom is thinking: “…Frosty & Trev will figure this thing out…”

    You make the call - do you fire Frost?

    Perhaps some GH fans don’t really know what some Nebby fans really think about Frost?

    You make the call - do you fire Frost?

    Nebraska’s big problem lies in the fact that they have never become physical enough up front on offense or defense, I would contend. There was a time in the Big Eight when they were. Then, all that spread stuff took them out of “black shirt” mode and they increasingly tried to rely on, big...

    You make the call - do you fire Frost?

    I would not fire him. That team has improved. They are a tough win for most BT teams. Brewster at Mn had a full conference season with Zero BT Conference wins. That is a sin worse than death for a BT Coach. He was given more time. Finally in his last season, he had ZERO BT Conference wins...

    Required Viewing For Gopher Fans - Fleck on the new contract

    He IS a “…run the ball, stop the run …” Coach. A real BT Football Coach. He will continue to know his players, and his: “…next man up culture is the sharing of responsibility for the good of the team. It is what the U of M needs this year and for the future. It is one of the greatest things...

    Which is most important to you, personally?

    Thanks. And thanks for what you helped start with GH, et al other early names of GH. You, sir, are a gentleman, scholar and visionary champion … sincerely, wren (aka a number of other monikers…) I am certain that I do recall meeting you… and will refer to you only by your current moniker...

    Which is most important to you, personally?

    Hello to you too Go for Gold. I also had the pleasure and honor to meet and have a nice long discussion with Bob39. He was a wonderful Gopher fan. Saw him at a: “…Sota Social…” in the McNamara building. The event was a”signing day event” in February. MASE was still the coach. Getting so...

    Which is most important to you, personally?

    I honestly DON’T believe that there could be a good chance of going to the Rose Bowl without defeating both Iowa & Wisconsin in the same season unless for some reason the schedule makers omitted one or those stinking border battle schools from the Gopher schedule. That is not likely to happen...

    Contract Extension for Fleck

    Such is the way of the world for college football unless the college is Ohio State, Alabama or just a few other spots. And yes, as a Gopher fan I can love that fact and live with that fact. It makes it just THAT more special when an extraordinary season comes along. We have an on campus...

    Contract Extension for Fleck

    Great statistics, MaxyJR1. There is enough sample size now to have the numbers provide real comparisons with the history of this program. This coach is practicing what he preaches. His actions reinforce what he professes! We fans are fortunate and can be PROUD Gopher fans!!!

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    It certainly was in 2020 when sports were cut and the U was considering taking on additional debt to cover among a few other things a very large athletic department shortfall.

    Are We Becoming Wisconsin on Offense?

    We raise our own offensive linemen, tight ends, linebackers and some pretty fair wide receivers. That makes up a good number of positions. And, best of all, we have our own open air, horse shoe, on campus stadium and get real weather possibilities during the last half of October and all of...

    Are We Becoming Wisconsin on Offense?

    Mason’s teams probably put more pressure on their own defense simply because his offenses were SO EXPLOSIVE! I loved watching Mason’s offense. I also did lament the fact that the defensive team spent SO MUCH time on the field against spread offenses that they always wore themselves out. It...

    Are We Becoming Wisconsin on Offense?

    This 2021 Gopher team is quite possibly, the ultimate “dream team” of the Kill/TC & the Staffers era. The Northwestern game is a prime example of offensive ball control, clock control and sheltering/enhancing the defenders by keeping the defense off the field. That is ultimate defense! I say...
