Probably was what was to be expected. It took 4 games last season for the game to slow down and Max to excel in the system as it was. Why wouldn't it be the same now in the NFL? Yes, the Vikes have a QB issue (or issues). But they have others too...some that can be explained away by injuries...

Thanks for sharing. Both Mrs. Billd and myself succumbed to some kind of respiratory bug Friday night into yesterday and did not make the game. Only the 3rd time since TCF opened that we did not make all the home games each season. Each time has been due to a medical concern. Based on how...

Not sure what "argle bargle" is but will assume it is analogous to BS, and yes, why would the word out of camp not be positive since clearly a roll of the dice with Max? Point taken.

Both Florida bowls were great. As for the GT game, that was a fun day as a Gophers fan on TV and I'm sure in person.

Like any QB in their first start, the floor is "deer in the headlights" and the ceiling is sky high. Every statement out of camp into the season itself is he knows the playbook and can manage the game. That's the mental part that takes many a QB several seasons to master. If however this is...

The Alamo Bowl in San Antonio was the best potential spot in the bowl system to land during Mason's Era. In those days the business leaders running each bowl got to make the final call on the match-up within the conference ties to each bowl. Several times I-O-W-A or Wisky "jumped" the Gophers...

Went with C. Could be better. Could be worse. Average Fleck.

Winning is better. A.

We missed you last week but glad you were back for The Axe!

Not wearing a hat... Have we ever seen him without some type of head cover before?

Fun stat: The average starting QB took 2.81 seconds to throw the ball last season according to NFL Next Gen Stats for 2024. If Max can have that level of protection he should do pretty well. Dropsies with the TEs and receivers is another issue with his style of quick release. Ski U Max!

Mrs. Billd not too excited for the conditions but we will be there ready to go. Ski U Mah! Better Dead Than Red! Go Gophers!

Thanks GWG. Also glad you got an extra day back to wonder whether the Home Gophers will prevail to 7-0 in familiar confines? Looking for The Axe staying in Minneapolis for chopping someone firewood after the game to cement a solid W...or so we hope. Ski-U-Snow Game!

Models should be pretty much set by today. GWG...what's the verdict to prepare for gameday attire and tailgating?

Someone may have left a pair of freshly opened HotHands on his seat and he mistook it for another kind of heat... I think this should be taken as a positive. Apparently there is a minimum expectation for the program beyond just what us fans think. Probably need a new banner in the practice...

Love ya Coach but you might have messaged that just a tad sooner...

Here's the latest: May only be flurries at most but good chance some accumulating on the field by the end of the game. In the meantime the stadium is going to be a little treacherous. We're going to bring a baggie of non-salt ice melt for our spot in case there's substantial ice. Going to...

DarrenTG attended with his family in 2018 and reportedly had a great time. We did win convincingly against GT so I'm sure that helped.

There is nothing keeping him from flying around but of course on his own dime. Might have to get some jollies that way.
