    In hindsight, this outcome is not that surprising. This is Mark Gronowski's sixth year as a starting college QB.

    It certainly wouldn't hurt for Peej to redo his contract for a mil less per season so we'd have more money for OC and DC. I still think his schtick limits the amount of talent we can bring in though. No way in heck would I ever play for a "rah rah" coach with all the crap you have to do...

    In hindsight, this outcome is not that surprising. This is Mark Gronowski's sixth year as a starting college QB.

    Yeah, writing sympathy cards or whatever to the newspaper and waving goodbye to the women's hockey team isn't quite on par with preparing to win football games. PJ's schtick is really for actual college student-athletes, not semi-pro football players.

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

    How much of it was Bielema? If he had stayed at WI it's probably a 2 horse race between us and them, with Arkansas not knowing much about a 3* recruit from the Twin Cities. That being said, he did generate some excitement there for a while. But not sure one goes from head coach in the SEC to...

    Greatest individual sports achievement in Gopher history.

    Janel McCarville versus Duke in the Elite 8. Picked up her 4th foul but then had to go out and play the final 12 minutes without fouling. She did and we won.

    All Things Class of 2026 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread (Offers, Videos, Tweets, Rankings and More)

    I don't think the "we" part is smart. If the athlete chooses to switch positions, fine. But to tell him one thing when you plan on another, that'll eventually find its way to high school coaches who will then not want Fleck coming to their practices. I interviewed for a software job once...

    B1G Time: Overlook P.J. Fleck and Minnesota at your own peril, it's even worse than it looks at Wisconsin. - Tom Fornelli

    As someone who put down money on nebraska simply winning, I can attest to this. I thought I had a sure thing after how we looked vs. Purdue.

    SEC fines Texas A&M $50,000, issues public reprimand of Mike Elko for having player fake injury

    Chip Kelly offense? We have a play clock to limit the max amount of time before the ball must be snapped. I wouldn't mind an analogous one to say the defense can try and grasp how the offense is lined up before they get to snap it.

    Friday Night Lights

    I can totally see that if you're going to the game. For those who watch on TV, there's been plenty of times where I've looked forward to getting home and enjoying the game, versus the stuff I'd normally be watching. So I vote yes on Friday night games, but I can see why it's a pain if you go...

    Wisky Fans calling it like they see it.....

    I think the point was that there isn't talent elsewhere to compensate at all for losing our QB. In years past, when we had Mo and Big Dan and JMS etc, we could have gone to the backup QB and it wouldn't be as bad as going to the backup this year, is what I think the poster was trying to sink...

    Assistant Coaches

    Sounds kinda like what Mason's annual new defensive coordinators would always say: "We're gonna simplify things and get the players reacting and playing fast." And it never worked. At some point you have to implement a B1G level scheme and either succeed or fail. Playing vanilla...I'd rather...

    Like Norvell should have. He could have done something and had Memphis being a G5 borderline playoff team every year. Maybe he gets something done at FSU this year, but it would have been cool to see him stay and develop Memphis.

    Gopher football

    I think it could have been, for some. Like, I remember reading a quote by a Nebraska QB how if he just went into the mall to shop, people would start coming up for autographs and such. Most Gopher QBs could walk around almost anywhere off campus and not be recognized. So I'd think if I was...

    PP: Gophers biggest loss to the Buckeyes might have been tackle Phillip Daniels in the transfer portal

    Yeah, I think the issue is that tOSU obviously had a recruiting miss at RT and instead of having to live with that, which might be someone our DE might have had more success against, they got to go out and get an upgrade. Recruiting misses were a great way for teams to upset the helmet schools...

    Gopher football

    Yeah, my friend does that but I don't have the extra computer to dedicate (as it's likely those sites are trying to infect your PC). But still a good point. For me, with roster turnover and not recognizing the players and the added commercials, I just can't put any more effort into finding...

    Gopher football

    That used to be me. Then I decided to not even bother and just watch what was broadcast on regular TV. Works just fine. Most Gopher games aren't worth watching anyways, you can do just fine with the youtube recap.

    Dynasties 'over' for bigger SEC with 9 league games, Kiffin says

    It's gonna take a while to get used to 2 loss teams in the playoffs competing for the NC. But I agree with him, next to impossible to have that dynasty anymore.

    You know what, thanks for a good reply. I maybe got a little salty in here, it happens. I was just more frustrated because I loved seeing us offering and getting guys that had lots of P4/5 offers, etc. and it would get talked about and mentioned that we're recruiting at a noticeably higher...

    CHARLIE JILEK Flips

    That might mean something when competing for top MAC recruits. We're doing pretty well with DBs going into the NFL yet I don't see 4* and 5* recruits beating a path to our door, outside of a local kid. Most P4 programs are going to be able to coach you well enough to get a shot at the next...

    Feel free to start the list! Ko is on it, maybe Cashman. There might be a few from the Kill/Claeys era, but when there are no 4* or 5* players around you on the team, even average people can shine.
