    Post Game Thread: Gophers Lose to North Carolina

    RE Right Hash Kick: I HAVE to believe that Fleck asked Dragan where he wanted the ball & he said a little more to the right side; he just didn't come through. If not, that truly is coaching malpractice. The absolute first thing a coach should be thinking about if playing for a game winning...

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH CAROLINA AT MINNESOTA 2024 SEASON OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I agree. I’m not going to act like he was awesome, but he’s better than AK.

    ***OFFICIAL NORTH CAROLINA AT MINNESOTA 2024 SEASON OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Complete team loss. Coaches, offense, defense (played well overall but key penalties kept drives alive that led to points) & special teams. I do think Brosmer has the ability to sling it, but will they let him? Taylor & Major should be good and take the load off, but it won’t matter if they...

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    On an encouraging note, I was told that there are 2 hockey kids from EP that will be starters (or at least major contributors) on the offense for EP this year. Add in Mason West still double dipping at Edina & it's a good thing to see. Granted, I do think it unfortunately is the exception...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    I actually wasn't much of a fan of the show. Most episodes seemed to not focus on football & more on Hayden in his cabin and the relationship with his daughter and her artsie beatnick boyfriend Stuart.

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    Do I? The Fox Outsmarts the Snake! Ranks #2 in Screaming Eagles wins, just behind the game which Luther is sick in the hospital, watching the game on TV & notices the offensive lineman tipping whether it's a pass or run by his setup, breaks out of the hospital, get to the stadium & wanders...

    1999 Minnesota Golden Gophers

    I think if '03 could neutralize T Carter from making every single tackle, they'd win. I always thought the '05 team was as good as those others; they just had a more daunting schedule -- Penn State (Orange Bowl winner), Ohio State (Fiesta Bowl winner), Wisconsin (Citrus Bowl winner) & Iowa...

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck is a much better coach than Tim Brewster, but when it comes to gibberish ...

    I was going to say the same thing. Must have never visited this place during a game.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    M Hockey: -$270,290 I've always heard that men's hockey is one that turns a profit - is this just an accounting thing the department does or does it really not make a profit?

    Rose Bowl makes another push to be left out of CFP semifinal rotation in favor of historic New Year's Day date

    The only issue I can see is the timeslot. There seems to be complaints about the last game ending so late due to not starting until Rose Bowl ends. Rose Bowl says it's willing to be flexible, but taking the parade into account, I'm guessing they won't be willing to move the start time up more...

    Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2024 Season

    During 2011-2014, I'm pretty sure the "Gophers in the Pros" segment during commercial breaks at the stadium was just a weekly update on Decker's game the previous Sunday....

    Nick Saban $500K/Yr as "Professional" at Alabama

    https://www.al.com/educationlab/2024/02/nick-sabans-lasting-impact-on-alabamas-campus-students-that-pride-shows.html Understand at first glace, 500K may be a little eyebrow raising, but it's probably not too far off from being a fair reward.

    A deep Duck dive into the 2024 Gophers.

    I think sometimes a guy gets hopes up after doing something & we as fans think that it can be the norm rather than the fluke it was. I'm talking about his performance against Wisconsin in 2022. We loved the way he competed in that game & thought it could be the norm. I was the same way about...

    Minnesota-Iowa: NBC Primetime 9/21

    I like smash-mouth defensive football as well, but I would hardly call last year's game a result of that compared to sub-par offensive & QB play.

    Minnesota-Iowa: NBC Primetime 9/21

    https://x.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1797688111276691663 I'm guessing NBC loved the Minnesota-Iowa game last year with all the action that they couldn't wait to get it again for all the primetime eyeballs to see....
