    Gophers currently have the #1 pass defense in the nation

    I'm still shocked USC decided to pass as much as they did against us when it felt like for a while they were getting basically a guaranteed 7-8 yards on every run. Credit to our D they did tighten that up late in the game and forced USC to throw more which plays into our strengths as the numbers...

    USC = the new Nebraska?

    You’re right, got my inbred corn hillbillies mixed up.

    USC = the new Nebraska?

    Most of their fans I saw had a full set of teeth, so I’m not sure this is a fair comparison.

    Where does the USC win rank in the Gophers' P.J. Fleck era?

    I still don't think that would be on a list of best wins in the PJ era, but that's just my opinion.

    I may be in the minority but I don't think US Bank stadium is anything special. It's a fine place to watch a game but there's nothing unique about it IMO. I have never been to another NFL stadium but it would surprise me if it is the nicest out there.

    POST GAME THREAD: GOPHERS BEAT USC!!!

    A lot of people question me or even make fun of me asking why I bother following a program that will never win a national championship or maybe even a big ten title. Nights like this are a reminder why even in its current state, college football can be so much fun. I love the Vikings and love...

    So do we love PJ again?

    I always have, and think I always will.

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    I’m a believer that the roiders should be in the hall, but any argument that roids don’t help performance is absurd. Guys weren’t juicing just for fun.

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    The point is we don’t know whether he did or not, and that’s the problem. He committed the ultimate sin in competitive sports by introducing doubt into the legitimacy of the outcome.

    All Things 2024-25 Vikings Regular Season Thread

    The criticism of that pass to Hockenson has always been and will always be stupid. He had a defender in his face basically the second the ball was snapped and it was probably more likely that Hockenson makes something out of that play than he is able to get enough on a throw 40 yards downfield...

    STrib: Can Gophers men’s basketball build a true home-court advantage?

    The best way to have a home court advantage is to have better players than the other team. Fans can only do so much to impact a game, if at all.

    PP: Can freshman sensation Koi Perich also play offense?

    I imagine a pretty large amount of D1 football players played both ways in high school, especially small school guys like Koi.

    2024 Gopher Hockey Offseason

    I mean I appreciate the C tradition in hockey as much as the next guy but it is somewhat of an outdated tradition too. You really think if say Luke Mittelstadt says something in the locker room guys are saying "shut up you're not a captain". There's no limit to how many leaders a team can...

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    And for that matter there's really not even much debate, right? Hard to compare Josh Gibson of course, but him, Pudge, Gary Carter and Carlton Fisk are probably the only others in his weight class. I do think, however biased, a fully healthy Joe Mauer would have been able to challenge for that...

    Pete Rose dead at age 83

    Another interesting thing looking back at Rchiro's numbers, he won MVP his rookie year in 2001 where he probably should have finished 3rd or 4th, but in his best season 2004 where he probably should have won MVP, he finished just 7th in the voting. The other guy who had a good argument to win...

    Crazy thing is he managed to still play 19 years in the MLB.

    I'm shocked the amount is that high.

    2024 Gopher Hockey Offseason

    I think it's strange but captains are elected by the players so if that's how they see it I really don't care. The irony of your commentary is that you're so fixated on not being a homer that you're just as incapable of being objective as the rest of us.
