    Gophers BEAT wisconsin Post Game Thread

    I was there in 2019 for the PSU win and also in Tampa in Ray J Stadium for the Auburn win! As outspoken as I was in Fleck’s first season, watching his Big Ten wins mount, I KNOW he IS a BT Coach, and a GREAT leader of this Gopher Football Program. when I am wrong, I am wrong. That 2019...

    Gophers BEAT wisconsin Post Game Thread

    It doesn’t matter. It was the first time the Gopher won the Axe in THIS stadium. That is a HUGE deal. It is history making…and it is fun.

    Morgan now with most QB wins in Gophers history

    In the Big Ten, Purdue always was noted as QB University for much of the Last century.

    Morgan now with most QB wins in Gophers history

    Tanner probably isn’t surrounded with as many great players as Stephens was either. Sandy was surrounded with Ohio State types of greatness: Bobby Bell, Eller, Tom Brown, et al. And a lot of those players played offense and some defense…it was such a different game then. Stephens WAS...

    Morgan now with most QB wins in Gophers history

    However , that is not possible. It was Mason’s system that Weber redshirted under, but he got stuck playing for who ever that coach was that followed Mason. And so it went. Weber was another iron man… as was Leidner for kill/TC. To Bud Grant, having players who were tough enough to show up...

    Morgan now with most QB wins in Gophers history

    Thanks for posting the facts. It would appear that we may suffer a bit of: “…fan fatigue…” syndrome and nfl tainted sense of what a quarterback means to the offensive & defensive style, objective and system the coach is building for sustainable, long term success at the University of Minnesota...

    Morgan now with most QB wins in Gophers history

    However, you pose questions that can never…could never…should never even be asked. So, since you ask those questions, I’ll see your questions by answering: no. No one but Morgan could have accomplished this during the past 3 seasons, simply because it can only happen the way it happened. Not...

    Doom & gloom for some as Fleck rows harder. Old expectations linger longer. Gophers bash Hoosiers, still some don’t care. SCOGGINS: “Let down feelings haunt internet posters…” Expectations bum out part of the base. In spite of fan unrest, Gophers battle Badgers for crown of B T West!

    “Most disappointing season in my time being a fan…” may be the saddest display of expectations induced GROUP depression recorded when rowing…

    That’s the problem in Big Ten Football. Most times expectations for something like football are fatally flawed by our own assumptions and personal bias about our players or other teams players. For crying out loud, S.O.N., it’s easy to make assumptions and have expectations about Ohio State...

    “Most disappointing season in my time being a fan…” may be the saddest display of expectations induced GROUP depression recorded when rowing…

    How long will your lifetime be? “… it ain’t over until it’s over…” perhaps this year isn’t the last year that this coach, this team, this program has a chance to win the Big Ten West for you. Perhaps the sun will come up tomorrow… or for a season In the future. Heck, maybe the Holy Grail lies...

    “Most disappointing season in my time being a fan…” may be the saddest display of expectations induced GROUP depression recorded when rowing…

    I think the Coach and his staff are doing their best too. Sometimes fan expectations are not based in the reality of competing in the Big Ten Conference. Fans really do not have the ability to EXPECT their opinion will be achieved six to 12 months in advance of the next season. There are too...

    PJ Monday presser

    Just what are your expectations for next year without Sanford? Without many of the offensive linemen? Without #47? Sometimes too many expectations kicks the crap out of a good fan who has great expectations. And: just what was your expectation for this 2021 Gopher Team. Too bad you didn’t...

    Unpopular opinion

    I totally agree with your final summation. I am just plain tired of all the hate on this board being directed and focused ONLY on the passing game. And: Iowa’s STRENGTH is their defense taking away the ball, stopping the run and giving their offense SHORT fields to work on. They only scored...

    Unpopular opinion

    People have been trashing the offense here all season long. Even when the Gophers won four BT in succession. In that Iowa game the offense kept the defense off the field for 40 minutes. They ONLY had to defend Iowa 20 minutes and Iowa scored 27 points. Had Iowa had the ball for 30 minutes...

    Most disappointing season in my time being a fan

    We are each very replaceable, Replacement Gopher. A mind is a terrible thing to make up after a tough loss. Just remember: a mind can be quite easily changed as well. Beat Indiana, Gopher.
