I'm not crazy about the word "fit" because it's often ambiguous but I do think these five starters "fit" well together. You can have more talented players but they may not play as well together as these starters do. As far as the two primary subs, no scoring but they combined for 9 rebounds, 7...

That's probably the best attitude to have going forward.

So far, at 6-5, they're definitely underachieving.

Probably right. Multiple people here wanted him to be our new coach. With that attitude I'm glad the university didn't go in that direction.

I think New Mexico is just a sexier pick than Minnesota right now. Their new coach and his team did a very good job this season and it was the first winning season this team had in almost a decade. I think that earns a team a lot of popular support. Still, they could resemble the Gophers of...

Wade seems to be implying that there is an inverse relationship between athletic performance and academic performance. Does he have any evidence to support that?

There's a name I haven't heard in some time. Looked up her Wikipedia after reading that. It says that she got a bunch of tattoos and found Jesus.

During one of the games last season, an announcer said one of the truest things about Jackson: he must lead the league in combat catches. He meant the kinds of catches made while a defender was draped all over him. Dylan Wright was occasionally that guy (deep threat) but simply wasn't often...

The fact that you keep repeating that line is incomprehensible. The substantial majority of media predictions posted here are picking New Mexico. Do you have some kind of faulty brain that is incapable of absorbing information that is contrary to your preferred narrative? As far as the Gopher...

I knew they were really good but I didn't know those rankings. I guess that's how Tanner threw for over 3,200 yards and was 4th nationally in yards per pass and passing efficiency rating but never approached those numbers again.

Finished 10th ranked. That's about as special as it gets for this program.

Thanks for the info! Well, I'll give him credit for the feigned act of concern anyway. He almost pulled it off!

Why? Because we haven't done it? We certainly could use another player with ability (actually, two players with ability). If Niko has a chance to do that, he should pull the trigger.

While I have more than my fair share of people from this site on ignore, I wouldn't put this guy on ignore. Given that the Gophers are slightly favored by the betting markets, Fleck's perfect record (6-0) in bowls, and the MW conference champ losing 38-10 to Washington in the LA Bowl, I find...

There have been players in the past (although not Gophers) who have entered the portal and still played for their current team's bowl games but I don't see any indication that Fame will do that. I suspect that he didn't get the deal he wanted, or the assurances he wanted, or he just wanted to...

Are you actually reading what has been posted here? The majority (a fairly lopsided one to boot) of the predictions posted here are picking New Mexico. I'm sure those predicting this game know New Mexico's record. That information would be pretty difficult to miss.

Yes, by the numbers, this is not one of Fleck's better teams but they were surprisingly clutch at times this season. The old cliche of "guys stepping up and making plays" might have been more noticeable this season simply because they were so often in situations where the outcome was in doubt.

Perhaps but that wasn't the question. Blake Hoffarber was the #1 choice here. I suspect few, if any, of those who voted that way would say he was the "best Gopher ever."

I went with the numbers available and I don't care about Gopher Holers' sentimentality over their past heroes. I'm not a sentimental sort of guy if that wasn't already obvious.

Yes, rutgers and Purdue had great finishes but I think the Michigan State game was the best example of how this team, despite its problems, could be unpredictably clutch at times. Down 7 points with about 1:49 left, they went 65 yards in about a minute and a half to tie the game in regulation...
