Brutal loss for the program. This program refuses to ever let itself take the next step.

This team was not ready to play. Evident on the very first series. However, if Brown-Stephens catches that easy TD pass and Tricket does not miss the chip shot FG, the game is a different outcome. So can't put it ALL on the coaches. But still give them a D for not having the team ready and...

Clearly reading isn't your strong point. I still predicted them to win. Most of these non conference games have had scores much closer than one would expect. Fleck has a far different approach than Mason who used to run up the scores. I am glad I was wrong here with my prediction.

We have really struggled in non conference games under PJ. Games are always much closer than any of us would like. Gophers 25 NM St 13

I may be wrong on this but do we not have more scholarships than normal available right now with all of the players in the transfer portal? That may be why we are seeing them offer more at this point. The transfer portal and NIL changes EVERYTHING with recruiting and we are in unchartered...

The problem with PA is he has always been more concerned about what HE SAYS NEXT as opposed to focusing on the answers he is getting from the individual he is interviewing. Don't know I can blame him because he has made a nice living off his annoying (to me) schtick. I don't mind him as a...

In his interview clip, he states that one of his factors in his decision was clicking with "Bucky" who we now know is in the portal and gone.

You can't coach size or internal desire and the kid has both! I am confident in the Gophers coaching staff to give the kid the skills to match the aformentioned traits and get a nice hidden gem here.

Two things that cannot be measured via a stopwatch or any other tool. This is where a coach's experience in reading his players during a recruiting visit come in play. A motivated player with a burning desire to succeed coupled with natural physical ability is going to be successful. Really...

I love checking out the recruiting sites, particularly 247. But to think they are the final word is absurd. The guys with the real talent in evaluating players are all under contract with the various universities they coach/work for.

If Fleck can continue to learn from some of his brutal in-game decision making, I am very excited about the future. Kick C back at OC is another reason. Every team in the nation is losing talent. We are fortunate with how many of our studs are coming back. On paper, looking at the D-Line...

I entered the sports boards transfer portal when my " hockey fights" board bellied up. Thankfully, Gopher hole recognized my skills and I hope to be the next Jack Gibbens minus the part where I have to leave after a year due to eligibility issues. Hopefully, Gopher's football does not mimic...

I went with a C++++++++. I think this is an above average class for sure but looking at the conference rankings, it is hard to justify going higher. This does not mean I am dissapointed as we need to remember that this recruiting class started following a 3-4 Covid riddled season. Many a...

In a state in which the teams consistently underperform to expectations, it is beyond incredibly refreshing to finally have a team that exceeds them. I literally thought this team would struggle to win a handful of games overall and was genuinely concerned about winning even one Big Ten game...

With the expectations I had at the beginning of the season (and the light schedule), finishing 8-4 would've gotten a D grade. However, the ability to overcome the huge injuries at RB got them a bump to a C by midday Saturday. Beating Bucky for the Axe whilst knocking them out of the Big 10...

Offense : Dylan Wright's fantastic catch on 3 and 10 Defense: Justin Walley's wrestling the ball away for a fantastic pick. There were two very key fortuitous moments in the game: The missed FG by Wisconsin that doinked off the crossbar. 6 more inches and that skids over The fumble that...

Minnesota sports teams in general just don't win these types of games. I wish I could be more positive but I just don't see any chance of winning this game. I am 100% convinced that the reason Minnesota does not allow sports gambling is that we would bankrupt the state betting (and...

Excited for Mo to come back as he is a proven, solid RB1. We do need to curb out enthusiasm just a bit with the "embarassment of riches" at RB we seem to have. I think our very highly ranked O-Line has a lot to do with what we are seeing. It is going to be radically different next year and...

I kid you not! One of my very first memories in life was the Drew Pearson pushoff on Nate Wright for the original Hail Mary play by Dallas in the 75 NFC Championship game. Of course I did not appreciate the magnitude of that game or that it was a foreshadowing of 46 years of brutal Minnesota...
