    Strack: PJ Fleck Must Find Quarterback He Can Trust in Offseason

    If you have a good offensive line, you can run first or pass first, whatever you want. The offensive line has been a little behind the lines of the recent past, that said with the offense we have a qb that keeps the ball on the read 4 or 5 times a game instead of 1 would be a large plus. I was...

    PJ Fleck compares Gophers' 'line of success' to the stock market

    Yea I maybe worded that badly, wasn’t there something about not understanding the doom and gloom attitude about the program? That it was going to be in the past and such. Not saying there hasn’t been some progress in that regard for sure, but some of the losses this year are triggers. Of...

    PJ Fleck compares Gophers' 'line of success' to the stock market

    Well, I don’t think it’s necessarily the record that has people the most upset and questioning the staff, It’s the type of losses, blow the huge lead against NW, failing to get a first down with 2 great chances against Illinois to close it out and instead giving up huge plays to a cold backup...

    P.J. Press Conference for Wisconsin

    Tanner was the same on the read option, coached that way? I keep thinking back to that horrible run against Illinois that would have sealed sit. Seldom throwing to anyone but the 1st option. Bad decisions more than physical limitations, not much, if any improvement over a full season. No leash.

    The headline in the Sunday newspaper will read?…

    Coach Fleck: Its a miracle we won as shorthanded as we are, it’s all on me.

    2024-2028 Big Ten Schedules have been released.

    UCLA and USC are more like the Wisconsi/Iowa teams of 3 years ago. Lots of qb talent most likely leaving at least 3 of the PAC 12 teams. Ore. and Wash. are top notch for now, things change. Hate these huge conferences, don’t think they help college football in the long run.

    NIL and RS Strategy

    Most Minnesota recruits are going to need a year of college weight training to be contributors. Seems like there are enough injuries in 4 years of eligibility that a redshirt can be used at some point. Play the Freshman if they are ready.

    Shooter: You won’t hear a more professional and objective radio football broadcast than the Gophers’ Mike Grimm and Darrell Thompson.

    I should go back to listening on the radio, at least I may be able to get something accomplished. I’m old enough to remember when we could see maybe a game a year, and it was a nice treat. Always liked Ray Christianson, Mike Grimm as well, been a real frustrating season.

    Post Game Thread: OSU Blows Out Minnesota

    Pocket presence is horrible feels phantom pressure, starts moving around panicked until he is sacked. Thinking of one particular play he did that on yesterday, but it’s been a problem all year. His decisions to run often baffle me, he kept it on an option with a guy coming directly at him from...

    An amazing collection of things I didn’t see coming

    Regarding No. 4 Coach Fleck seems to have lost something. His demeaner just has seemed off since the NW 4th quarter. He just does not seem like the same guy on the sidelines that he was. I didn’t care for his personality when he first started(see Brewster & Wacker) but as time went on and we...

    That is an accurate comment.

    Gutless Playcalling

    I probably know better, it almost seems like he’s trying to get canned. But that wouldn’t make any sense, would it? Some of the stuff is just so not solid…..

    STrib: Gophers QB Athan Kaliakmanis: 'I'm nowhere near where I want to be'

    Last year when there was no pressure, less expectations with A K, he played pretty well. This year he is the man, and maybe his problems are the weight of having the starting pressure. Second halves have been almost an Achilles Heel for him, does the pressure build as the game goes on for him...

    My take on the Gopher football team today

    If our offense can perform like it did against MSU and get us like 25 points and the defense play like they are playing Iowa and hold them to like 16. We have one helluva shot to pull this one out with a D.K. field goal as time runs out!

    Official 2024 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Ok, question, if we are losing 14 guys to graduation/loss of eligibility, how can we take in a group of new signees in the 20s and plan on looking at portal guys? Must be planning on losing 12 to 15 or more to the portal? Isn’t there still an 85 scholarship cap?

    Gopher legend and fan favorite Rickey Foggie named the first HC of the Minnesota Myth (AFL)

    I remember Foggie faking the pitch on the option and cutting it up so quick. He was as good as most anyone on that option. Fun to watch.

    NIL question

    Eventually won’t there have to be a mechanism to ”even out” available money for each school? Major Pro sports have Salary caps in most sports to keep a somewhat level playing field. These huge conferences are going to limit the numbers of “champions” and will cause interest to wane, except for...
