Zach Heilprin should be embarrassed by his unprofessional behavior...but if he's a Wisconsin fan he won't be.
Good grief. What an awful thing to tweet.
Who hates Iowa? I hate Iowa.
Who hates Wisconsin? I hate Wisconsin.
But I respect their HCs.
I think six B10 teams right now look at us and say, "that's a win": tOSU, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, USC, Michigan.
At a minimum, their fans do.
I remember when Gopher fans used to think that about Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, and Illinois.
Again, name any Big10 team, that if they were on our schedule we can circle as a guaranteed win?
I can't name one after seeing what Purdue and Northwestern did against us last year.
With that, unless the season implodes and we have five wins or less, I'm on board for two more RtB excursions. I...
Didn't Lou have an out in his contract which allowed him to go to Notre Dame with no penalty or buyout clause?
I was disappointed but not mad when he left because he negotiated that fair -&-square.
Still glad the U said yes because for one brief moment...
I loved Lou Holtz before he got to Minnesota.
The fan base knew their football and understood how great a hire he was. Gopher football was relevant and the Metrodome was electric.
What would an equivalent hire be today? Saban? Meyer?
Not to be didactic or negative, outside of non-conference games, circle the sure B10 wins on our schedule.
Others have reminded us of the disappointing Purdue and Northwestern games last year. I think the first five listed all view us as a win.
With that I really like the incoming high school...
I still see 6-6...I wanna believe we can go 9-3, which I think is our ceiling.
Sept 12th at home against Mississippi State and Sept 26th at Washington will tell us everything we need to know.
My guess is we get no love and the national consensus is 5 wins. This year I am not as optimistic with the M&G chances. In another thread I way-to-earlied them with 7-5... I'm leaning to 6-6 now.
Oh, my other hot-take....Nebraska will be pre-season top-25.. remember you read it here first!
I think Seattle covers and Darnold proves he can win the "big one" when he's the guy a team with an OL...😁
(Oops... let me bounce over to the Max Brosmer thread 🙄)
WAY-TO-EARLY PREDICTION
Gophers 7-5
Win another 🥣 game for 8-5 record
Final ranking 43
"If we just woulda beat (insert name) we'd be ranked in the high 30's..."
Meanwhile, Oregon becomes the 4th different Big 10 team in four years to win a national championship.
