    19 Teams Have A Shot at Earning At-Large Bid to College Football Playoff

    ** Insert sarcastic complaint about 12 team playoff would make the regular season meaningless ** This is why I was a big fan of growing the playoff field. It is the first weekend of November and close to 20 teams still have a shot to make it to the dance. There is a lot of season left, but...

    Former Gopher DC Ted Roof looking for his next job

    He also has to have a great professional network. I bet he knows people in nearly every corner of the country.

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    I was going to say the same. For as long as I can remember the Fargodome has been used for section finals and even first round of state games.

    Koi Perich Gopher records watch

    And rightfully so. Even through my maroon and gold glasses I didn't see the instant impact. I thought he would have a nice career - maybe the very top end would be Tyler Nubin. By that I mean Nubin eventually became one of the best in the nation but it took 4-5 years to reach that point. I never...

    Who are your four favorite Gophers running backs?

    I'm 40 so my history of watching the Gophers goes back to early 90s. I remember DT but truly don't remember watching anything specific. My earliest memory of him was the shrine to him at the McDonalds in Rochester. 1) Laurence Maroney - probably my favorite Gopher since I've been a fan. 2) Mo...

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    I coached at a small school that was bad for a long time (20+ years) and we turned it around had some competitive teams. Maybe it was PTSD, but I found it harder to coach when we were good because I knew how it felt across the field and did not want to run the score up.

    Koi Perich Jersey

    For what it's worth, this is apparently Koi's family putting together an order. I did a little investigating, and mom has a link on her Facebook page charging $50 for friends and family and the link posted in the tweet is $80 for the general public. There are two positives: 1) My son is getting...

    2025 Road game

    Agree! It’s hard on the family when you tie up 5 of 6 weekends in a row.

    Koi Perich Jersey

    For what it is worth, I heard from a pretty credible source that the link is real and something his family is doing.

    Koi Perich Jersey

    Yeah, that’s the official NIL jersey. Wish they would have the real jerseys. His mom commented on the original tweet with an email address. Seems legit - outside of the Google form and Venmo.

    Koi Perich Jersey

    Does anyone know if this is legit? Sure appears to be. Would make my son’s Christmas! https://x.com/koiperich3/status/1846336161985302803?s=46

    Oregon 12 Players on the Field

    Can't be mad at a guy for knowing the rules. Like someone posted, this happened in the NFL and they changed the rule. What he did was a penalty and Ohio State gained the penalty yardage. He obviously knew what the penalty yards were going to be and weighed the pros and cons. In a way it is kind...

    Koi Perich was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week

    There is no negative to catching it and going straight down. If you knock it away you are giving a chance to someone making a play, it would be a crazy play, but a play.

    *IF* The Gophers win out, do they make the playoffs?

    I voted no, but I don't know exactly how the playoff field will be laid out. In the past, a very bad loss (North Carolina) would be a season ender. Now there is some hope that even with that loss could we recover enough? I think 10-2 with losses to Iowa and Michigan would give us a decent...

    The Gophers likely lose the USC and UCLA games without Koi Perich's big plays. They'd have a 2-5 record right now.

    You could say the same about other players on the team, but no one can deny that Koi flat makes plays that change the outcome of games. Other players on our team are valuable but I think it is a fair argument saying that we most likely don't beat USC without Koi's forced fumble and interception...

    Was Henderson Injured?

    Brown will find his way back to the field because he is good. Brown is not Perich though. There is no way they can keep Perich off the field.

    Was Henderson Injured?

    Unfortunately for Kerry Brown but I feel like it turned into Kerry Brown meet Wally Pipp.

    Hot take: are these the best Gopher's unis of all time?

    I would tend to agree with you. In my opinion, my favorite uniforms of recent history were: 1) Kill era - Simple, but a mix of classic and modern. The font was really cool in the fact it was unique but not weird. 2) Fleck 2.0 - Similar to above. Pretty basic uniform but nice 3) Fleck 1.0 - I...

    When was the last time ?

    How many times has the Gophers played the #1 ranked team since 1977? I don't think Michigan was #1 last year when we played them. Maybe a Ohio State or random Michigan team over the years? Penn State in 99 was awesome, but like pointed out they were #2... but they were loaded!
