    ***OFFICIAL NEBRASKA AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    How on earth do they not have more plays to get the ball to the TE - who is by far their best player on O. I don't think they will be able to run unless they can stretch the field and that is not going to happen if they throw 6 yards passes every time.

    Will our New PAC12 Additions be in for a Rude Awakening on Defense in 2024?

    USC will be fine adopting to B1G. This is only year 2 under their coach and even with the new transfer rules, it takes awhile to build up your program. I think USC should actually be pretty dominant this year in the PAC but will come back done to earth a bit with Williams leaves. However, I...

    Would you be happy if we finished at 7-5 this year?

    Our chance to really break out and shine was last year - we blew it. Now, we are rebuilding - albeit with less of a drop off than in years past. Last year, the card aligned in terms of schedule as well as strength of our conference overall. This year, we likely have a resurgent WI and we are...

    Breaking from the Athletic: Big 10 to invite Washington and Oregon

    If the B10 expands to 20 teams and we take Cal over ND because ND rejects joining, there should be an informal agreement among all B10 schools to not schedule ND football as a non-conference game. End their games vs. USC, Stanford, Michigan, etc - don't continue to allow them to cash in on...

    Deion Sanders’ roster redo at Colorado could change college football

    I honestly don't think this is a bad strategy - let's face facts, the term 'Student Athlete' has lost all meaning now with NIL, lax drug testing, etc. It has been replaced with "Just don't embarrass the program" So, with Prime: I think the basic premise is that a grad transfer (22/23 year old...

    Tanner’s NFL Journey

    The problem for Morgan is that his best year is already 4 years into the past now - and with the volume of work, it is pretty obvious our WR core had way more to do with that than Morgan. I don't think Morgan is renowned for his arm strength and he does not have giant size or great speed...

    the buffaloes are stampeding

    I don't think this ends will for Coach Prime. In high school and lower college ball, talent can put your team over the top. In upper D1, it is about coaching and development and I think a lot of his players will skip town before the coaching and development catch up with the talent.

    Rumor is circulating that the NCAA is about to grant Tanner Morgan another year of eligibility

    Eli Manning dressed at Chad Powers actually looked younger than Morgan.

    Adam Breneman: Brevyn Spann-Ford is my favorite player returning to college football. He's the most NFL ready tight end set to play CFB this year.

    I don't know if it is due to his size or what but he always looks like he is almost moving in slow motion to me. Clearly he is not given his production - but it just seems odd to me.

    Tanner Morgan appreciation thread

    If AK has a longer term injury, can he still petition for a 20th season? Was nice knowing the QB would be competent/capable coming off the bench - most programs don't have that. 2019 was magical.

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    Running tons of Mo vs. Syracuse rather than letting the Greek throw the ball and put on a clinic for WR recruits to see IS playing not to lose.

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    My guess is that we will get a bunch of Mo to make 100% certain that we win the game. By the time that they let the Greek throw the ball, most fans will have tuned out is my bet. That is the problem with playing Syracuse - we MUST WIN - that will be the priority. Player development and trying...

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    My $0.02 - bad team to play because it is from the wrong conference. I don't think beating Syracuse moves the needle in terms of recruiting or national attention. If we lose, it is pretty catastrophic actually given the team/conference. I don't see the Gophers drawing a bunch of Upstate NY...

    Athan grew up a lot today

    The ability to actually pass will keep the pass rush honest as well as open things up for the run game - vs. what we had to do this year and last. I don't know if our issue this year was talent, coaching, scheming, etc - but, today looked like a completely different team. Given WI playing the...

    Athan grew up a lot today

    He played really, really great. Didn't force anything too and ball security is job #1. I don't think Morgan wins this game, especially after WI started rolling in the 3rd. I am so used to the 4th Q meltdown that I still can't believe we actually won. For the first time in recent memory, we...

    Is SKOR NORTH correct in saying that PJ is not a gameday coach? Is he not capable of reading and making adjustments?

    Outside of a few big plays to start games (I think 2019 Penn State) or end them (2019 Auburn TE pass), I can't really think of anything truly creative we have done on offense. As I wrote in other posts - his is more of a philosophy of doing what everyone is doing but execute it better. When we...

    Is Fleck’s agent actively looking for other coaching jobs?

    Sorry, I may have been unclear. I don't think the spread is the elixir - especially after it has been around for years. Just like now implementing RPO is not the same as if you were the first time to implement it. My comment is that Brewster thought this was a solution - but our offense was...

    Is Fleck’s agent actively looking for other coaching jobs?

    Mason was out after he openly flirted with OSU - even Minnesota has enough pride to not accept that. The meltdown vs. TT sealed the deal but the reality was that Mason was NEVER given the tools that PJ was given. Also, and this is huge in my opinion - because of Mason, Minnesota was getting...

    Is Fleck’s agent actively looking for other coaching jobs?

    I was pretty active on the board at this time and I remember the hope that we could land his kid to play here - but, he didn't get that to happen. But, I don't think anyone had him on any list or even knew the guy was interviewing. From what I recollect, he sold himself in the 1:1 interview...
