I give him a D on communicating in public. He may be more effective behind the scenes but your ? is valid.

I'm certainly hoping to razz the Badgers faithful another year but razing them is a little extreme...:p

Good question. https://athleticdirectoru.com/articles/the-dynamic-role-of-the-modern-day-college-athletics-director/

The current UMN AD and all ADs are dealing with the greatest change over the shortest period of time since desegregation gained hold in the late 1960s into the 1970s...that is NIL and The Portal. While desegregation involved "only" racial fairness and shifted football power to the South, NIL...

There was a great rejoicing in the land after that one. We ended up 6-6 and went to Detroit and destroyed GT's triple option. Good times that set the stage for 2019...that if we all recall started off very rough with very close wins in the non-conference part of the schedule. Then ran the...

Big debate on the post-game show. Legit question is: If Max had not gone to Minnesota and somehow finished out at New Hampshire and made the squad...even to be No. 2 as transpired...would there be a call for him to see the field under the same circumstances? Or said another way, is the only...

PJ thinks of momentum in terms of physics. A football bouncing on the turf will tend to keep bouncing until the friction and transfer of force happening with each bounce brings motion to zero. Momentum in football is a psychological phenomena that builds upon itself once flipped. Koi...

As much as we mock Nebraska they are 4-4 in the conference just like us. We end with Sconnie at home and they end with the Hawks at home. Hard to judge this morning whether either will get to 5-4 to end the season with the the B1G+ wins that Walrus so covets.

The irony of a 2.5 point spread is greatly increased by yesterday's FG perfomance.

Saturday is trending better weather-wise. No extra moisture likely on any dilly bars being consumed. Agree with MNVC that getting yesterday's Offensive performance (plus actually making FGs) benefits from a good weather day. Neither the US nor European models can offer a guess on the Defense...

Will of course be there next weekend ready to go. Hopefully the team matches our enthusiasm going to our seats and gives us something to cheer about once the game begins. Sconnie is unlikely to travel good for this one which is fine. Since we are 6-0 at home the trend line is good on that...

Pretty much all of us knew today's performance (or lack thereof) was possible. This situation did not apply to previous Fleck Defenses. This is approaching the first 6 months of the 2018 squad and the answer there was to fire the DC. Pretty sure Coach understands this.

I had already told Mrs. Billd no bowl game this year 'cuz not a good chance we'd win an away game.

If I wanted Gophers Defense teppanyaki, then I'd rather go to the Benihana at John Hancock Center at North Michigan Avenue.

That may be true but we always started with cupcakes that did not prepare us well for the Big 10 +PSU main course very well.

Went with D. If we had won on the last possession with TD, or got the FG to even take OT, might have graded a B for toughing it out to the W. That's not what happened so the lack of Defense dragged it down to a solid D. Sigh.

Definitely threw the D under the bus, which is warranted. Kicker however left 6 points off the board...

Let's get to the next chapter...

A tale of 2 quarters. Let's just forget the first one and get this to a 3 quarter victory. Ski U Mah!
