    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    He never has been a disaster - as you know - and he continues to show his true colors. Looking like a team coming together. Will take time, but if you actually enjoy watching development, this is fun.

    Computers love Gophs. SP+ 16th; Massey 20th; Sagarin 24th; ESPN FPI 21st

    Computers "love" the Gophers because the Gophers control the course of a game - and that shows up in statistics. The Gophers win by controlling the course of the game. That's the upside. The downside is that the Gophers cannot win without controlling the course of the game. By contrast...

    The Gophers are improving

    I totally missed the game. Sounds like they are improving step-by-step?

    ***OFFICIAL CHICAGO STATE AT MINNESOTA WINTER STORM 2022 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I missed the game. Odd time of day to play ball. Looks like we won? We're back on track, then?

    Is Carrington another Kalscheur?

    I'm closing in on starting a thread devoted to clowns. Two-thirds here will be included.

    STrib: Gophers recruit Dennis Evans comfortable with his height, and basketball trajectory

    DING! DING! DING! Smart again! MNJay is on it. Again. This is on the right track. There are trolls harassing the program; we see them; we recognize them for what they are; they can do nothing. This is a remarkable start for the Gophers program.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Someone else - apologies, I forget who right now - asked me a similar question within the last week. Something to the effect of: when would I start looking at W's and L's? My answer was toward the end of next season. Things should start to being to come together then. ...Until then, relax...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    My beard is gray too. Patience is not age-bound. Sit your ancient ass tight a little longer - you'll be glad you did.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Here's what I see: A bunch of CLOWNS on this board. Impatient, unrealistic, demanding, entitled, uninsightful. Except for a few. You, sir, are one of the few exceptions. You're one of the good ones. Freshmen might be hesitant? Unsure? Feeling their collective way into things? Say it...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I loved last night, and have been thoroughly impressed this year. MNJay is on-point. Stop watching for wins and losses. Look at what is developing, not whether the team is constructed to win now - it isn't. Ben is getting young guys - who have talent...

    Gophers Loaded with Up and Coming Talent

    Toward the end of next season. This warrants a longer explanation - but I'm a little time-constrained now. So I'll say it the "abbreviated" way. Ben is doing something similar to what PJ did when he first arrived. He is installing guys with the highest ceilings. That means you'll lose. If...

    Gophers Loaded with Up and Coming Talent

    Half the posters on this board are clowns. Anyone remember what Andre Hollins looked like most of his freshman year? Not good - with moments of promise in between. Then - with about a half-dozen games remaining - boom. It clicked. And we saw what he'd look like in the following year...

    Got it. I'll stay tuned for that.

    Gopherhole Administrators: May I ask...?

    Would it materially help the finances of Gopherhole, if a contingent within your audience were to commit to clicking on 1 or 2 ads per day? I'd be up for doing that, if I knew it would be meaningful to you. And I assume others would, too. So, what's up? Would that be a help? It would be...

    Do the Gophers still beat the Badgers today with Tanner playing QB?

    For 6 years, Tanner has been the best Gopher QB of my lifetime. And I'm 50. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for him. He has been a key part of a group of guys that have elevated Gopher football. The fact of the matter is that Athan brings things to the table that Tanner cannot...

    What grade would you give Athan Kaliakmanis in his first Axe game?

    Any vote other than "A" is beyond laughable. Freshman; on the road; biggest rival. Running game is off. No obvious target in the passing game. And 300+ yards passing, no terrible mistakes, incredible plays with his arm, his legs, and his mind in terms of staying in the pocket and delivering...

    ***OFFICIAL DEPAUL AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Definitely need to work on boxing out. ...Isn't that a basic aspect of basketball? How do you get to college and not know to box out? Serious question, actually - basketball is not my sport.
