You can be both unprepared and play scared at the same time. You don't always see it from Fleck's teams, but you see it regularly, and it stands out.

The talent levels are roughly the same. We just get less out of our talent regularly, while Iowa consistently gets more. But I also just keep forgetting these things take time. It's only year nine.

This game wasn't an upset. I was expecting a loss. I did not expect how we lost. And Iowa is not a blue blood.

thanks. I was only able to watch it in a crowded bar, so didn't notice he wasn't on the field and couldn't hear the announcers. I also hadn't sene that mentoined in any of the recaps. So .... it's on me.

We don't believe in momentum, haven't you heard? I believe this better term for momentum is confidence. As others have said, we blew all the confidence coming out of Nebraska. Let's see if we can go build some more against Michigan State. I believe that Iowa is a good football team and don't...

Three-man rushes aren't because we're scared; it's because our secondary has dropped off considerably from last year. Ultraconservative is because PJ's scared. The try not to lose approach. Now, when you're down 0-17 against the Hawkeyes after 4 offensive plays, and 0-24 after 7 offensive...

Against Nebraska: PJ led teams are 6-1. Some close games recently, but a significant win streak. Team comes out inspired. We have a solid game plan. The players understand it. We beat Nebraska handily. Against Iowa: PJ led teams are 1-7 versus Iowa. Games have generally been close, but Iowa...

Ron Johnson's 8 catch, 163 yard, 1 TD day in the upset of #6 Ohio State in 2000. Schooling All B1G CB, and first round draft pick after that season (21st overall) Nate Clements all day long.

He has not talent as a columnist, which is why he works for the Strib. I don't know about his personal life, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't schtupping anybody, either.

It was such a different time in College Football. This isn't based on data, but Gutey benefited from Holtz' recruiting and having #39 in the backfield. His results, as well as recruiting declined year over year. He benefited from scheduling breaks, but had a good team, but as his tenure went...

My son attends Arkansas. They sell a shirt on Dixon Street that reads: We almost always, almost always win. Maybe we need one of those, too. Show up for even part of the 1st half, we probably would have won that game.

Offensively Mason's teams were the best since the 80's, but had issues on Defense. Defensively, Kill/Claeys teams were the best since the 80's, but the offense was limited by coaching and recruiting. As a whole, Fleck's teams have had better parity between the offense and defense, but neither...

you have to throw into consideration, that we play a boring brand of football that will hurt us in the long run as well. We'll usually end up in whatever the lowest rung available is for us. We have at least altered the perception of supporting the team, and everybody likes a circus, so...

The more this goes on, the more curious I am on PJ's approach. Is he hiring below his budget to focus on his long term legacy (He wants to be lauded for his coaching tree in the talking points he writes for the SID to hand out 10 years from now, so he's hiring unqualified people?) at the expense...

These things happen. Coaches say what coaches say. That said, the frequency we hear these things as Gopher fans is concerning in years 7-9.

I had the same thought when I first saw it, but scanned the posts before I posted the exact same thing.

This thread is from the tOSU game.

Due to unknown circumstances, the role of the Minnesota Gopher Football Team will be filled by Northwestern State University this afternoon.

I "believe" we got an answer today.

A case can be made to give Danny more time. As strong of a case can be made that the B1G is not a training ground job. He's not ready. He may ultimately be, but he was promoted and shouldn't have been. Why? I don't know. PJ's loyalty? The lack of funds for experienced DCs made a risky hire in...
