I like the 12 team playoff with first four selected by ranking and having byes as is currently the case, BUT would prefer MORE auto bids. I don't need to see the 4th ranked B1G or SEC team get in. If you can't even MAKE your conference title game in the P2, I'm OK if you lose your shot. Like...

Interesting, maybe we didn't offer Linder because we already have two OTs signed - Trout (MN) & Meier (WI). So I'll change my greedy take, let's just get the top 4 from MN by adding Pierce. I don't think PJ has ever done that before! That would be very Iowa like.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those "other" TEs becomes a lineman especially the guy at the bottom of our class that is already 6'6" and 230. Call me greedy, but I want five of five especially if it sets Iowa & Penn State back!

The kid is an amazing athlete. His basketball highlights are more impressive than football. He dunks a lot because it's just easy for him. It's not like he needs a runway. Watch 247 - 2nd video. Seems very quick for 6'5". Get him and Roman Voss and we'll have two tremendous, athletic...

I went to a couple games at the dome back when I was a student in the 90's. It sucked and it was BECAUSE it wasn't on campus, not because the dome was old, at least to me. I just don't think a shiny new stadium would have mattered much. You've got to have the stadium on campus. Location...

We could be catching them at a good time. The game with Iowa should be tight and physical. We'll be coming off a bye and it will be their 5th game in a row. How injured they are will matter. It will help them that it's a home game. They follow the game with us going straight into rivalry...

That is already happening. MSU played a lot of man even though Joe Rossi prefers zone. No one is afraid of our receivers.

I loved his defending his "Row the Boat" mantra at about the 3:30 mark. It's so much deeper to him than just football. It's so easy to criticize when you're not the guy trying to lead 108 young men. We get so many fly-bys on here where people don't take much time to understand things at a...

Watching his tape. He does look like a slightly below 11 second 100M guy. He does NOT look like 10.38. It must have been in a 25 mph tailwind.

That's exactly what I was thinking. In a demented way, winning at Oregon might be worth losing the last two. This board would be total chaos after the win and loses! If we do beat Oregon, I say we drive out there after the game and pull down the goalposts even if it is one day after the game...

Nate Becker is a senior, but as march madness said, has another year of eligibility left. He's flashed a little on the interior lately so he should help next year. 6-6 & 300 Ibs. https://gophersports.com/sports/football/roster/nate-becker/23014

Legit speed. Now we need to feed him and put him in that gum stretcher room in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

If we end up 8-4, it will be the most Iowa like 8-4 we've ever seen here. Lose total overall yardage, but win anyway with low mistakes and winning in the crucial moments, all while driving casual fans nuts! Do I think we can keep this up year-after-year? No. I'll take it for one year though.

Burns and the rest of the podcast talked about how bad our corners are this year. The whole defense is compromised by this. So maybe it's not the DL making the rest of the defense look bad which was my initial suspicion, maybe it's trying to protect our corners? They surprised me by saying...

Sometimes it's tough to watch this Gophers team when they struggle lining up enough high quality athletes, but there seems to be reason for hope. - Watching Koi make up all the ground running that RB down from behind was fun even if the guy did gain 71 yards. It was also fun watching him play...

I love your determination, but turning off the Iowa game at half-time and going to do yard work was the right call for my mental health. ;)

A lot of interesting posts! So many ways to go with what's wrong with this offense: 1) O-line is the biggest problem and makes everyone else look worse. 2) I actually like our receivers athleticism for once. Not elite, but not garbage for once. The bar is low. They are terrible at contested...

The evidence doesn't seem to support your hypothesis for CEOs. If this is true, then shouldn't the best performing companies have lower paid CEOs and higher paid employees? There are no laws against this structure. You can start up a company like this tomorrow. That's not what we're seeing...

Very well said. The evidence just does not support the U being much better than this. Their financial resources are lower than most other B1G schools. Whenever we get a good coordinator, someone buys them away from us. We've been capturing most of the best Minnesota recruits recently and...
