Back-up QB is also the most popular guy with the fan base.

A bit surprising, but when I watched the Michigan/Michigan State game for a bit last weekend, I recalled one of Bud Grant's insightful witticisms that basically went "It matters as much when you play someone as who you play." Michigan is not that great a football team right now. We'll see the...

Agree. I think we are physical enough for the bottom half of the conference, but teams like Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin (to whom I see us as pretty much equal in raw physical ability) just seem to lay the lumber harder (and more suddenly) than we do. About the only thing I miss from the...

I wish him well. He's a very good shooter with really good range and he could stick around for a bit (or maybe longer) at the NBA level. I understand why he moved on from the U and it was probably the right move for him.

I seem to recall that Roof and Brewster had a falling out and it leaked out beyond the building. Same thing happened with Dunbar.

Is he a Mormon or would he be required to convert to collect the NIL dough?

I think the thing with Leidner is that his mechanics were so bad and Kill and Company never really seemed to bother to fix them. That led to a lot of inconsistency in his game and sometimes the criticism was harsh. He did what Kill wanted him to do and I guess we can leave it at that. He did...

When I read stories like this, I think of Chris Borland who was great at Wisconsin and in all likelihood would have been a solid LB at the pro level. It takes courage to make a decision like this because I'm sure there's pressure--and often a desire--to keep playing. I don't begrudge any...

The Gophers will take the Terrapins down to Shakedown Street and after the game Maryland will be singing the Blues (for Allah).

Now we just have to get the facemask right to recreate the truly authentic look.

Whenever I watch Irving, whether at Oregon or now with the Buccaneers, I have these "what might have been" feelings. He may have stayed if the Gophers would have been running the same offensive scheme that they are now. No question that his move to Oregon highlighted his strengths. Nice to...

Kirby "Not Very" Smart is a total douchebag. I get the very untidy precedent that the reversed call establishes. That said, I'm a very old man and have watched a lot of football, and that call by the referee ranks among the worst I have seen. Absolutely offensive pass interference.

How long a leash does Sherrone Moore have? Harbaugh is a tough act to follow and he doesn't really have his own recruiting class in yet so the discussion may be premature, but that administration and fan base are not particularly patient. Watched some of Georgia/Texas and I was not impressed...

Is it just me or does Altmeyer strike anyone else as a little b*tch?

I don't know if you are responding to me because I never mentioned his career stats. His production compared to others has clearly suffered due to both system and QB play. I was only comparing his physicality compared to the other receivers mentioned earlier. It will be interesting to see how...

I think he has flown below the radar a bit. Part of that is he hasn't had consistent play from the QB and he's not as explosive (or the offense isn't designed to allow him to be explosive) as some of the other guys mentioned above. But he is clutch and has made so many great catches during his...

Perich is really good, but I agree with your point here. Maybe as he becomes more experienced, he will be moved around a bit and allowed to do (or try to do) some of the things Winfield did. But there's no question that Perich's future looks really bright. He's got the goods.

Agree. I'm old and have seen some really bad QB play. Demry Croft is the most recent example. I can remember when Kaliakmanis was a freshman and during mop-up time he connected on a couple of bullets downfield. I think the prevailing opnion of Gopherhole is that he was going to be the guy...
