I’m far from the “fire everyone” boat, but here’s the most alarming thing for me with PJ: He’s a combined 7-41 when trailing at half between WMU and MN, with a 2-21 record in these games at Minnesota. They show up with a gameplan and that’s it. Sometimes, the gameplan works beautifully (Auburn...

The wild thing to me on the INT was that the broadcast crew never even mentioned that MBS fell down on the play (let alone whether it was DPI or not). Instead, they just repeatedly talked about how dumb of a throw it was. Just bizarre.

I saw enough to be optimistic for him to take the reins next year. He had some pretty serious happy feet on his dropbacks, but he certainly has the arm talent to make some big plays. There’s not much a freshman QB will be able to do when a defense can just send massive blitzes and lock every...

He loves fishing, someone tell me Luke Loewe was on the phone with this kid

That picture is from MSU this year, guessing it was chosen because it was the only other road game so far. I'd be shocked if they used the same exact combo.

I’ll be there with some Illini fans. Excited to see what should be a full stadium and good atmosphere in Champaign!

I completely agree. The post I was responding to was saying that they'd prefer to not make it to Indy as a 9 win team, which is ridiculous to say as a fan.

At the worst, an expected loss against Ohio State at 9-3 to go to 9-4 would take us from an average bowl game to another average bowl game. Saying you don't want to play for the conference championship because 9-4 looks worse than 9-3 is some absolute defeatist mentality. I can confidently tell...

Um… what?

They didn’t run it the drive before that either, down 3 with 5 minutes left. Sent every receiver 10+ yards down the field on 3 straight plays and went three and out.

Nope. West is still in touch, and Wisconsin and Iowa are still ahead of us.

D over an F only because the defense looked great. Look, obviously you never want to be playing from behind. Especially with Fleck/KC’s philosophy. What I just cannot understand is why the wheels absolutely just come off with the offensive scheme once they’re losing. This team is not built to...

Coaching absolutely was a factor and it’s kind of insane that you don’t see that. Completely abandoning the offensive philosophy as soon as they are trailing in a game. Mo was out, but there were two very capable running backs playing who were finding success in the second half. Then, for...

Bingo. Gophers go down and the play callers just panicked. The second to last drive was some of the worst playcalling I’ve seen, and that includes the Sanford era

The playcalling in that last drive was atrocious. Three straight plays of sending every receiver straight down the field while Tanner had pressure within 2 seconds.

In exactly what world is a ball thrown off the receiver’s face the QB’s fault?

Are you really trying to find a way to blame Tanner for “throwing too hard”? That’s a drop, period.

Tackling on these runs is embarrassing

Stripes look awesome (though the stadium needs to fill up a bit more). Very impressed with the the turnout.

For sure, especially with a sold out student section and pretty much singles only in the lower bowl.
