In the last 12 years, Iowa has finished below .500 in conference play 1 time. Last season broke a streak of 5 straight years where they were ranked at least at some point in the season. They still struggle to get interest in their program despite that success while playing a really fun style...

I went with a B, but I could see arguments for an A or a C. My biggest gripe is not being in punt safe on PSU's last possession. With as conservative as PJ is, I just can't believe he didn't leave his big guys out on the field. We were going to try to drain the clock and kick a fg anyway, so a...

I think our interior 3 (especially Johnson) have struggled this year which make that delayed handoff even more difficult than usual. Mo also was great at turning potential 2-3 yard losses in to 2-3 yard gains, so I don't think we remember guys getting in the backfield against us as often as they...

This is correct, we never beat a team that finished in the top 3 of the Big Ten in his entire tenure.

I agree with a lot of points in this thread. This team lead in the 2nd half of 10 of 11 games played and the one they didn't (Michigan) they were a bad call away from having the ball with a chance to win the game on the final possession. For all the hand wringing about this schedule, at the...

Encouraging performance but a disappointing result for a fanbase that has seen far too many losses in their lifetimes.

We supposedly tried to hire Seth Wallace the Iowa lb's coach and he stayed at Iowa (has assistant head coach title, don't know if he got that before or after our contact). We also tried to hire Harasymiak (sp?) back, but he remained at Rutgers as their DC. We've also struggled to attract...

I think this is an astute observation. Part of it is probably the results haven't matched his pledges for a long time, so we're all looking at him more suspiciously.

Pitino and Johnson had done literally nothing to suggest they should be Big Ten basketball coaches. Muschamp and Mullen were pick of the litter type hires. McElwain was pretty well regarded too. Off the top of my head I didn't think Napier was an impressive hire but I looked it up and he was...

Poorly coached program quickly reaching Ben Johnson level of disaster stage.

James Madison putting up 70 on UNC proved to be the bad sign I thought it was. Things only get worse from here. Fleck is 2-9 in his last 11 against teams with a pulse. The raise Fleck got last offseason that resulted in his buyout being something like $22 million dollars after this season is...

Offense would score. I think Brosmer is savvy enough to make the Gophers defense pay on one (or more) of their blitz attempts that don't get home.

I was shocked to see Iowa open as a favorite in this game. I expected the line to open Minnesota -2.5 or -3 instead it is Iowa -2.5 and it hasn't moved. Iowa closed a -2.5 point favorite over Iowa State at home. So the oddsmakers think Minnesota is a significantly worse team than Iowa State...

At least the thread isn't titled a star is born (Joe Coleman jinx). Fun to see someone both catch a punt and move forward on Saturday!

I didn't expect Allen to commit to Ben Johnson. I don't think you get guys who have options like Oats/Alabama when you're on the hot seat. Maybe the Dakota kid who just moved to Minnesota will be the exception. It was refreshing to see the other site (sort of) admit that this was Oats coming...

Kai Shinholster took an official visit during the UNC game. Also has official visits scheduled with James Madison and Florida Atlantic. Might be a name to keep an eye on.

This is good info. At Minnesota, almost every coach post Wacker has had a period of time where they could claim they were our best coach since the 60's or whatever. Brewster is the exception, but when he started 7-1 and was recruiting at a level we had not seen in my lifetime in his second...

I'd be interested in knowing how much of the blame for the lack of explosive passing plays goes in the following buckets : 1. lack of talent (specifically speed) at the WR position 2. A poorly constructed offense that either doesn't stress defenses with its route combinations or confuses them...

Uncharacteristic mistakes combined with very characteristic conservatism.

We haven't had good QB play since 2019. Fleck and staff refused to bring in real competition for Tanner and promised the world to Athan. Our QB depth chart is now Max, a true Freshman in Lindsay who was an averageish P5 QB recruit, and a VTech transfer in Wittke who lost out on the backup job...
