    FIRE GREG HARBAUGH

    Key words: “more complicated than need be.” In a violent, high speed contest, undue complexity can stifle performance and hang an anchor on athleticism.

    Looks like GA Southern beat App State again. Good bowl win. Nice capstones to the season. Congrats to Talon!

    How would you rate Drake Lindsey in his first season as starting QB?

    Some comparative stats: Tanner (2019) vs. Athan vs. Brosmer vs. Drake. Tanner in 2019 is the "gold standard" because he had 2 NFL receivers, a 3rd receiver almost as good before injury, three solid RBs and a very good OL. The RPO passing scheme worked great in 2019 because of the tremendous...

    How would you rate Drake Lindsey in his first season as starting QB?

    Other side of the coin: Drake can make some throws that Max might not have. Both TDs to Smith in the bowl game were tremendous throws. Perfect timing and placement in tight spaces. If next year's OL gives Drake a little more time (which drop back passers need to attain maximum value) I think he...

    How would you rate Drake Lindsey in his first season as starting QB?

    The left tackle had great stats and was a freshman All-American. Better than Ersery at the same stage of development. Not worried about left tackle ... or left guard.

    How would you rate Drake Lindsey in his first season as starting QB?

    Solid B. Needs to become more mobile. Work on the legs. Also needs to see the field a tad better. Not always seeing wide open receivers. But he made a LOT of clutch throws. Won some games for us. Well above average for a RS FR, and I suspect next year iwill be better.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEW MEXICO RATE BOWL, LONGEST BOWL WINNING STREAK IN BT HISTORY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Agree. I would fire the STs coordinator first. Once we took the lead, why didn’t we kick it deep in the endzone (as we normally do)? Denanberg certainly has the leg. Why did we kick to the Lobo’s superstar kick returner? Nobody came near to touching him on the return. That run back was the only...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEW MEXICO RATE BOWL, LONGEST BOWL WINNING STREAK IN BT HISTORY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It wasn't as shitty a game as you portray. Really. Reflect on Anthony Smith's dominant game ... on Jalen Smith's incredible TD catches ... on Maverick Baranowski's incredible game (16 tackles, 12 solo) ... on DT's big runs ... and on some of the big-time throws that Drake made (among...

    Michigan State also just got a $400M gift from some donor, if I recall.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEW MEXICO RATE BOWL, LONGEST BOWL WINNING STREAK IN BT HISTORY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    In 2025, I believe we paid our "Co-OCs" (Harbaugh and Simon) a total of $1.24M (640K + 600k). Sometimes two heads are better than one ... sometimes not. I believe Heatherington was scheduled for about $1.25M before he decamped. Collins was on the books, I think, at just under $500K before he was...

    Who is your MVP in the Gophers Rate Bowl win?

    The Smiths, DT, Koi and Maverick all had stellar games. Menz wasn't too shabby. Nestor made some plays. The supporting cast wasn't quite as good. I thought we might see the true Frosh running backs today, but the game was too close. Defense should be good next year. Offense is a work in...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEW MEXICO RATE BOWL, LONGEST BOWL WINNING STREAK IN BT HISTORY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Defense started slow, but played well overall. Held NMex to FGs on two early drives; then NMex's offense was done for the game. On offense, DT played well; Jalen Smith played well--two very athletic TD catches. Drake was iffy; if you are QB who can't add value by running, you gotta see the field...

    Gopher have a lot of trouble with running QBs. Tbey can’t practice against it because we have no QB on the roster who can run. 🤷🏼‍♂️
