Teams that "fall out of the top 25" (#11, to be precise) are then immediately consigned to being "at the bottom"? The "bottom" of what, exactly? As far as storming the field is concerned, I can see how it would make you uncomfortable. Too much enthusiasm. Very unseemly. That said, I'm glad...

You nailed it. That's the attitude some folks have, and it gets pretty tiresome.

USC is "at the bottom"? I thought they were ranked #11 in the country when we beat them. Now I find out they're "at the bottom"! Who knew? Why, then, were all those Gopher fans storming the field at the Bank and having a joyful good time? How odd!

Congratulations, Koi! And speaking of Kerry Brown, I would love to see him on the field vs. Maryland.

You gotta love this kid. Check this out... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5ZDjOOG0cYo

I'm pretty sure your reference to me was all in fun. Not that it matters, but if you were to actually read my posts on that subject, you'd find certain words and phrases, like "very unlikely", "daunting", etc. But, yeah, I have been dreaming big dreams on that subject...:cool:

The head coach is responsible for the entire team's success or failure. Fleck, by that light, failed when he decided that Kaliakmanis was THE guy. However, he responded to that failure by picking up the pieces, and going out and finding. Max Brosmer. He then convinced Max to leave a school...

Excellent point! Another special teams play that was crucial: the onside kick against Michigan. If the play had been (correctly) ruled, the Gophers would have had the ball in excellent field position and the momentum, which was at that point already rolling in Minnesota's favor, would have been...

This is spot on, in my opinion. The sheer number of stars that would have to come into alignment is daunting. By the same token, there does appear to be a bit more NFL-style parity in college football these days. The teams at the top of the B1G still have to play more than a few games against...

Fleck has always been a good, not great, coach. Even so, he himself frequently says 'failure is growth', so it's certainly possible that last year's failures led to growth this season. The simple fact that Brosmer is a far more capable QB than AK is the main source of improvement, however. A...

Well, let's see... The question the OP asked was if the Gophers win out, would they make the playoffs? I'd say only if two very unlikely things happened: 1) A 9-3 record would somehow be good enough to get to the B1G championship (that's a big, big if), and... 2) The Gophers would have to...

This year's Gopher squad is a fun team to follow. They have some outstanding players.

Well, Iowa is good. Not video game good, but real, flesh and blood B1G football good. They block and tackle, run the ball really, really well, play great defense and don't beat themselves. In other words: a typical Ferentz / Hawkeye squad. Their remaining schedule is pretty favorable, too. They...

I didn't watch it, but I was stunned to read that Purdue almost beat Illinois, and in the process the Boilers scored 49 points, and racked up 536 yards (297 passing, 239 rushing) against the Illini defense. That is shocking.

I'm not entirely sure why, but this somehow seems like an appropriate place to post the rest of Minnesota's schedule... https://fbschedules.com/2024-minnesota-football-schedule/#google_vignette

I feel your anger, frustration, bitterness, etc. Okay, I have to come clean: I'm really not feeling any of that. Look, you seem unhappy. If we assume you're a Gopher football fan, maybe this will cheer you up a little... the team has just won two big games — exciting, entertaining games, at...

I want to salute our traveling Gopher fans. You guys really made all of us look good! What a great turnout. Well done. I hope you enjoyed beautiful Pasadena.

Beautiful. These kids look like they love being a part of this.

We have a long way to go, but I love the exuberance and energy displayed by this team. They are a true reflection of their head coach.

Watching Brosmer play QB is a pleasure. As a fan, it's such a change to know that if our opponents shut down our running game we can throw short, accurate passes to move the ball. Max's veteran presence and his ability to process and then execute while under pressure have made a huge...
