There is a huge opportunity to show an ability to adjust and adapt, right? I think a lot depends on how the team wins/loses and how they respond to things like injuries or how the coaches respond to mistakes on the field. Fleck has been quick to take the pass game away at the first signs of...

It has been years of "the West sucks so bad, the schedule is so easy, MN should win it easily" to "now we'll never win with a divisionless 18 team conference"....wouldn't it be something if MN could actually thrive in the new B1G and catch everyone by surprise?

Fleck isn't pretending last year was incredible. If you listened to his comments during B1G Media Days, I heard Fleck admitting that he and the team fell short in many areas, including the passing game and the return game. He took action by getting a new QB and got some intriguing WRs from the...

Ok Pat, what would you prefer Fleck do? Not say a thing until he wins a Rose Bowl? Ridiculous. This article is another "tell me you are out of touch without telling me you are out of touch."

Agreed. I even heard Fleck admit out loud they want a more explosive return game so they made a change at ST coordinator. He's previously been silent about that unit for 7 seasons despite them being last in the conference year after year.

Sits in on the Offense Coach Meetings. Values completions and keeping the offense on-schedule above all else. Gets frequent reps with his WRs in his "off hours." I haven't seen him play yet, but he's sure saying all the right things.

Ryan Burns was complaining on the latest Gopher Gridiron Radio podcast that he has no info about Fall Camp aside from it starts on Monday. But he complains about the U and their press access all the time.

This is exactly correct. If Iowa fans are still not over it, they need to go outside and touch grass.

This is my new favorite Fleck quote. Hope that means they'll have a better offense this season...

The Bank has been loud at times and quiet at others. Which games do you recall were the loudest? The first time I remember thinking the bank was a loud stadium was the Halloween Game where we beat Michigan State. This the game that had the "Immaculate Deflection" (Weber throws deep to...

"UCLA...the 'LA' stands for 'LA'"

Did he say UCLA has won 123 championships?? How does that math?

Yikes. Coach is giving a book report and didn't read the book.

Jack Henderson is my favorite defensive player nobody talks about. And Koi Perich and Jaxon Howard are on my list of promising players to watch list.

There is a growing amount of preseason bulletin board material coming out against MN. We are underrated and off most peoples radar. I think this is a desirable place to be; outperforming expectation as opposed to failing to match preseason overhype.

We got roster sheets at the open practices during Fall Camp last year. Really helpful to know who the heck you were watching

Totally. He tried to throw some fastballs when they were not needed, leading to a lot of drops. Cleaning up this small aspect of our offense could make a world of difference. We'll see.

All of the home B1G games + UNC? whoa

That was Claeys last stand

I think it is a case of "the sting of the loss >>> the sweetness of victory" or whatever. The 3 straight Bielema losses all hurt. The "get Robb Smith fired" game hurt. The one where Isaac Fruechte lost the ball in the sun on the kick return hurt. The only Illinois win I remember was when...
