The last two games are 50/50 situations against peer opponents. Beat NU & UW and the season’s story is at least winning the winnable conference games. Any other outcome and we look like/are a program in decline. A fateful eight quarters are upon us: We’ll see how the coaches handle it.

I love the explanation of the non-holding call on the screen. He released the defender from the hold after the receiver ran by him. Now that’s an interesting interpretation of the rule.

We thank Oregon for Bobby Moore. Now let’s demonstrate our ingratitude by knocking the Ducks out of the playoffs with a massive road upset.

It’s a better coached team but we’re going to see loads of zone defense to negate our motion offense. How Nico adjusts is an early test of his coaching ability at the P-4 level.

Correlation may not be causation but Durkin has been the common denominator for both Missouri runs.

There was a time through the Musselman/Dutcher/Haskins generation when Gopher basketball was often the second biggest sports story—behind only the Vikings. Now it has a niche following/fan base. It is sad.

Gametracker here I come…

Time to win Alcorn State championship week.

After blocking a Ray Guy punt for the first time in his career.

Jim Wacker—rest in peace—1995 revisited.

Never has a winning team been more deserving of a loss—but I’ll gratefully accept the largesse of the college football gods.

Remembering Steve Neil’s’ interception of a triple option pitch (incredible play) in Minnesota’s 14-10 win over MSU & Duffy Daugherty in 1972. Gopher players carried Cal Stoll off the field after the win.

Thank you for the informative post. Based on your analysis—and results to date—the season is over by Halloween except for the playing of the inevitable losses. Hard to believe how far we’ve fallen.

I suppose we should move on in life but has anybody heard an explanation from the coach for starting the OT without his major talent on the ice?

Yesterday in Iowa City: Big running QBs have been kryptonite for Minnesota forever. See Kalizmicki (sp?) in the ‘79 Minnesota-Wisconsin and then forever more. It’s weird. Also see Seabee’s point 4(e). Just throw it in the general direction of the wide receiver.

I’ve attended more than 1500 Gopher football/hockey/basketball/baseball games. Rationally, I should have said it long ago given all the heartbreak/despair/and occasional disgust (like yesterday). That said, it’s multi-generational in our family and when it’s time for the next game we go hoping...

Oregon was a good team.

The extra day of preparation overwhelmed our senses.

Defense recovered in the second quarter once the appropriate personnel change was made. The offense and the special teams are suffering a melt-down afternoon.
