    Badgers block a Huskies FG attempt. Still lead 13-10. Can’t mount a drive … punter drops the snap … but gets it away and it rolls out of bounds inside the Huskies 5 yard line. Badger punt team has buried the Huskies inside the 10 several times this game.Could be another very close finish...

    Badgers take the lead 13-10 with 2:00 minutes left in the 3rd Q. Gophers are going to have to find some balanced offense this month. Or the defense is going to have to start winning the turnover game. Nothing is given. Everything must be earned. Go Gophers

    Wisconsin is giving the Huskies a real fight. Badgers defense is pretty good. Held Washington to negative yardage in the 3rd Q. The Gophers are in for a tough three game stretch. Northwestern on paper is easily as good as the Gophers.

    OK, the Gophers are 6-3

    Hey, Talon, congrats on GSU’s victory over App. State. Looks like it was a tight one.

    Defense and sacks

    It's called the Sisyphus Defense.

    Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell will return to coach the Badgers in 2026

    So, Fickell will suddenly have an NIL war chest next year. It might make him a lot better coach! This also shows the downside of long-term, high bucks contracts for coaches. In long-term contracts without pre-negotiated severance packages at lower rates, the buyout numbers are...

    Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell will return to coach the Badgers in 2026

    As somebody observed, the Badger Defense is playing reasonably well. It's offense, however, has been really bad. The Axe Game will be Wiscnsin's last chance to redeem a season. They will play like cornered rates unless and until the Gophs break their spirit. If our defense doesn't go south, we...

    Defense and sacks

    This defense is not just good with sacks, it is also very good with TFLs. It is a higher-risk defense, using lots of blitzes, which can lead to rewards, but also leaves the team more vulnerable to explosive plays when blitzes are picked up well. I like the higher-risk strategy because, for the...

    Jett Walker flips to MN

    … and leave at least a million per year on the table. Most five stars are given the chance to start as freshman at the helmet schools AND they get buckets more money than the Gophers could ever come up with. I can see a five star from Minnesota staying home (for an NIL discount) to be a hometown...

    Jett Walker flips to MN

    Yes we need to recruit at Nebraska’s level ! Otherwise we will never win a game! Seriously, is it possible that today there are GHers who are completely blissfully unaware that today a coach recruits the best players, including possible role players (like a power back we haven’t had for a...

    Your 2019 data shows clearly why our OC went downfield all the time (ignored TEs and RBs as receivers); why Tanner passed for 3000+ yards; and why Bateman and Johnson led the B1G in receiving yards. We also had a great running game in 2019 (Smith, Ibrahim and Brooks), which stressed opponents’...

    6-3 including 4-2 in B1G! I got a kick out of Ryan Burns' "Go find joy" rant!

    You appear “revel in your love” of your own personal mediocrity. Please explain to other GHers how it works. Daily routine, etc. As much info as possible. Thanks!

    Three More Games

    We might have no chance, bu we need to compete to not have another blowout loss. Check the Badgers vs Ducks score. It would be bad for morale going into the NW game if the Gophs lost to the Ducks by twice the score Wisconsin allowed. And it could easily happen. Compete.

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I honestly hope PJ stays. He has been great for the program. Too early take: But if, because of the sheer number of highly-paid positions that are and will be open this year, he is seduced away, I hope the Gophs would consider NDSU’s Polasek. A winner. Knows and has recruited the area. I believe...

    Maybe This Is Actually a Lucky Season for the Gophers

    I agree. We seem to have a real unpreparedness/poor game plan issue this year in road games. But this hasn't been the case in many other years. Hopefully just a 2025 thing. Maybe we can shake it off with a decent effort at Oregon and a win at NWern.

    FIRE GREG HARBAUGH

    I really like that idea. Koi is certainly contributing this year, but I feel he would be much more valuable on offense this year, given how the offense is underperforming. I'd be pleased to see Koi take more reps, maybe the majority or all of his reps, on Offense at WR--especially against...
