In 3 of the 6 games Taylor played in last year he crossed or nearly crossed the 200 yard threshold by himself so he might make a little bit of a difference to our offense. Kid is special.

I'm all for him sitting out Rhode Island if he is not 100% but hopefully he can get out there by week 3 to get some reps before Iowa when we are going to need him.

What exactly is wrong with what I said? I was a little high with my 15 big favorites, turns out only 12 were 20+ point favorites, and 14 or 18 were double digit favorites. The fact that we were the only Big Ten team to lose says way more about the quality of opponents the majority of the...

Cool....so guess you should probably go find something better to do with your time because we are not leaving the Big Ten anytime soon if ever.

Honestly I don't know where the Gophers sit in the Big Ten for this year because most of the teams played horrible opponents and some looked pretty mediocre in doing it. USC and Penn State both looked really good against quality opponents, which is unfortunate since we play them both. Outside...

On the conferences thing....was thinking about it.....if you gave me a list of all the FBS teams I am pretty sure I could nail the SEC and Big Ten but the Big 12 and ACC would be a struggle beyond some of the well established members of each conference. Once you get beyond those 4 I could...

Their game was 6-0 at halftime against FCS Illinois State. They pulled away in the second half as Illinois State wore down and they were able to hit on some big plays. Don't know how good or bad Iowa State is supposed to be this year but the game between Iowa/Iowa State this weekend should be...

Makes for a crazy looking graphic and is low hanging fruit for the trolls and those who want to find a way to be negative all the time. Falls apart when you dig just a little bit and realize that in like 15 of those 18 games the Big Ten team was a massive favorite and really only Minnesota...

The fringe voices are often the loudest because they have to be obnoxious in order to get anyone to pay attention to their stupid posts.

Yep, and almost all of them played cream puffs.

Yeah, not sure Fife really qualifies for former Gopher status given his brief stop here :) But glad both guys found schools where they could get playing time.

I think we have to let the season play out but if the offense doesn't show signs of improvement over the course of the season I would 100% agree with this sentiment. But I don't know that Fleck will do it. He seems determined not to go out and get high profile coordinators, tending more...

Look, I get why you are excited after yesterday but there is still a ways to go for Nebraska to be "back". Now I agree that they probably finish over .500 and make a bowl game (after a ridiculously long stretch of not doing either of those things) but that doesn't constitute being "back" for a...

GopherChase doesn't have MSM and Morgan to complain about so he has shifted to bitching about Fleck now. :)

Not only that, playing without our star RB and in crappy conditions. Offense was going to be a struggle for both teams and that proved to be the case during the game. All comes down to where things go from here. Disappointing to lose a game we could have won but lots of season left and teams...

Last night was disappointing but we are nowhere close to needing polls about whether the coach should be fired because Fleck is nowhere close to getting fired. And those pining for a coaching change are going to be very disappointed because Fleck will be the coach in 2025 regardless of what...

Frustration after losses is totally understandable. Most are capable of being reasonable when assessing what went on in a game, unfortunately they just don't tend to be the loudest voices in the room. And of course those voices only pipe up when there is something to complain about.

First games are weird, especially when you go against a quality opponent and not some creampuff. Bad conditions, no DT, Kesich having a rare off day....lots of factors went into the loss but some of the over the top negativity in the forum after losses is so tough to stomach. People act like...

It wasn't even against mediocre talent. It was against an FCS team they were favored to beat by 40 and Rutgers offense was carried by their RB. AK didn't look bad but he also didn't look good. It took Rutgers quite a while to pull away from Howard as well.

Threads like these are comical and sad. Reading some of the reactions you would think we just lost to some crap FCS team as opposed to North Carolina. There are things about Fleck that are frustrating. He is extremely risk averse and will opt to play it safe over taking a chance in most...
