    Gophers look to forge an identity heading into 2024 season

    Starting a petition now that if we win game 1 vs UNC and Fleck still has the beard, he's not allowed to shave it until we lose. Just like a playoff beard!

    The coolest traditions for all 18 Big Ten teams, from the Hawkeye Wave to the motorcycling Duck

    The best is the video from a fan where after the announcement you hear them say something like "Ope, no fans on the field" and then go wild after the music starts playing.

    Brosmer Shows Gophers Short Passing Attack - The U is incorporating more short passing routes in fall camp.

    Is the short passing game not what helped open up the long game during the 2019 season? Like, sure it wasn't our go-to, but having those short throws over the middle (and, admittedly, two future NFL draft picks who could add yards after the catch) meant defenses couldn't just sell out on...

    Gophers are making sure Darius Taylor 'has a really healthy 2024'

    Yeah I don't think him not doing everything "right" to take care of his body was the only cause, and sometimes you are just unlucky even if you do everything "right". All of these things probably have some positive effect, reducing the chance of an injury from pulling/straining a muscle, but you...

    Gophers are making sure Darius Taylor 'has a really healthy 2024'

    It's gotta be well maintained grass though. I've seen far more injuries personally from people playing sports on grass that was poorly maintained (rock hard ground from lack of water, uneven playing surface, large divots in the ground, etc) than I have from people playing on turf.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Explain which part? Why AAU membership is still a requirement to join the conference? Or why AAU membership got tied to conference membership in the first place? The answer is simple for both. The Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly named the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) was formed...

    Coach Fleck- Heavy

    My read on it is that something has caused him to burn less calories each day and he potentially has not changed his diet to accommodate needing less caloric intake. Or perhaps something is causing him to retain more water and is causing him to be more bloated. Perhaps he started on a new...

    What Big Ten’s Bill Carollo would do same, differently on infamous invalid fair catch call in Iowa-Minnesota game

    Correct, but that's not what you were called for Mr. DeJean. You were called for an "invalid fair catch signal", which amounts to doing something akin to a fair catch signal, which may lead to the defense pulling off and not playing the ball to avoid a penalty for tackling a player who signaled...

    I played a few hours last night and here are my initial thoughts as someone who hasn't played Madden or NCAA14 before: It feels like there is a steep learning curve to playing the game. I have it on the lowest difficulty setting because I'm new, and that means I'm winning games, but it feels...

    CFB2025 Online Dynasty (XBOX)

    The game does support cross-play, so those of us who purchase the game on PS5 could participate in the online dynasty as well. That said, I think I'll pass for now until I get the hang of the game. Plus I don't think I have the time at the moment to participate fully.

    Yikes, that head spin animation is not at ALL what the real life Goldy does. Honestly, the animation in the game is kinda creepy, cause it has like no emotion behind it.....

    YouTube: Gopher Football Top 20 Plays of the PJ Fleck Era (10-6)

    At the end of the video they said next week is #5, so it seems like from here on out it will be 1 "play" a week which will bring us to roughly 2 weeks before the season opener. Then I bet they release at least 1 hype video the next week, and then another the week of the first game.

    Gameplay first look: My first gripe, as a former marching band member, is that no one in the marching band in the background of the game during the cutscenes is marching in time with each other. Like that's one of the most important things a marching band does! Like, I know that the game is...

    CBS: Big Ten stadium rankings (10. Minnesota - Huntington Bank Stadium)

    Not to mention here in Seattle we don't use reflective road markings, so when it rains road markings are super hard to see (even worse if it's dark because the sun is down or hasn't risen yet). I don't remember if it's the city of seattle that controls this, King county, or the state but it's...

    CBS: Big Ten stadium rankings (10. Minnesota - Huntington Bank Stadium)

    Yeah Seattle is definitely up there for bad drivers. The rush hour can be annoying depending on how far outside the city you live, but I don't think it's as bad as some California cities. I think what makes Seattle so bad is: Lots of oblivious drivers who drive like they are the only ones on...

    I believe crowd noise and chants were either recorded from live games or supplied by schools so hopefully it's pronounced right! The thing I'm slightly worried about is the school songs. Those were all recorded by EA and I worry they may have an old arrangement of the rouser or they might not...
