Now these are some brave men. Who knows what punishment the thugs running Iran will do when they return home. World Cup 2022: Iranian players refused to sing national anthem before match with England...

Surprised? No. Pretty pathetic that FIFA actually believed the Qatar government when they agreed to allow beer sales in order to secure hosting the World Cup.

I’m guessing any decent QB heading into the transfer portal is going to a school that needs a starter and that coach has indicated it’s their job to lose.

Agree, and we are not getting anyone better here. Bo Pelini is a good example that many bring up. How about Texas A&M fans? They go all in on big name Jimbo Fischer. Now there are folks asking if it’s feasible to find $84 million to buy him out. Florida fires Dan Mullen who looked like a can’t...

I don’t think I’ve seen Colorado mentioned as an option. I agree with most that Washington is target number 1. Stanford and Cal are appealing to secure the northern Cal TV market. I would think Colorado would be better than Utah and Oregon. Denver is the number 16 TV market, Colorado is an AAU...

Agree. If we had an o-Line better in pass protection, I may vote for Tanner. Unfortunately, with our problems in pass pro, Tanner isn’t effective against better quality opponents.

Yes, very impressive game tonight. Let’s see if we can string together two straight games.

Back in the mid 90’s I remember Gopher fans hoping Eden Prairie QB Jason Kapsner would choose Minnesota because there appeared to be a clear path to a starting starting job in the not too distant future. He was a top 10 rated QB coming out of high school. Instead, he chose Michigan and was...

Agree. It depends on who we’d be replacing him with. If it’s guys similar to Randy Edsall or Ken Niumatalolo types that were being brought up during the last change, I’ll just ride it out with P.J. awhile longer. We know Urban Meyer isn’t coming here, and probably a Matt Ruhle type will be out...

I would imagine it will have to. I’ve heard it’s almost impossible to get good recruits to commit to Minnesota with Williams Arena as our game facility. I’m sure Dennis Evans will confirm this.

Are we now 0-31 when trailing by at least 10 points in a game? If that’s true, it seems worse than 2-21 when trailing halftime.

Yep, as a lifelong MN sports fan, I know this too well. I understand a few posted on this site that they didn’t understand the pessimism expressed by the OP and they were wired to be optimistic. I believe some folks are wired that way. However, I think most of us MN fans are wired to expect the...

Anyone else prefer the old school curved Minnesota versus the straight?

Lady’s had a great last day of their tournament to claw back to a second place finish: https://results.golfstat.com/public/leaderboards/gsnav.cfm?pg=team&tid=26649

Agree. I understand that Leonhard is the obvious choice, but Leipold would be the better choice. Leonhard is a bigger gamble because we don’t know what kind of head coach he would be. There are many guys that are great as coordinators, but fail as head coach. On a side note, I just discovered...

If you don’t subscribe to the Gopher Gridiron podcast, I highly recommend it. Derek is a guest on the game review episodes. His insight is great.

I was going to do this myself, so, thanks for putting this together. Just an amazing first 4 games. If I was going to pick nits, this leads to my only slight concern for the future regarding the defense. The second team D has not looked good against other teams second string offense.

Maybe as importantly, the OC and DC need a pay raise!

I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m the only one interested in this, but here’s the first post. 😎 Gopher’s men won their tourney: https://results.golfstat.com/public/leaderboards/gsnav.cfm?pg=team&tid=26130

Very true. If the Gophers lose a game my interest level in other college games the rest of that Saturday drop BIG TIME! That doesn't happen for me when the Vikings lose, I'm bit disappointed, but my interest in other NFL games is completely unaffected.
