👀 Just watched the highlights of Ohio's bowl game and was thinking, "this guy should be a Gopher". He is very quick and strong.

East Lansing might be the most depressing big time college town. This is coming from the guy that said Detroit is worth a visit. It is not a place that I would want to live and raise my family (compared to most other large University communities.).

Detroit is an interesting place to visit. Went there right after it hit rock bottom after the 2008 mortage/housing crisis. There sneaky cool things to see and do. We stayed at the Westin downtown which was nice and not expensive for our dates. There are dueling Coney Island places right across...

Excellent news!

I just cannot handle watching SEC football, so maybe we will luck out and get UW vs UM for the championship. Anyone else hoping that Penix ends up a viking somehow?

Yes, posting a bit late, but his 4th down 4th Q game tying catch was one for all time. He had big catches in every game this year with the exception of the UNC game (no catches but he was open). He is a fantastic receiver and if he repeats his 2023 year, he will be number 4 all time WR in...

The Gophs threw the ball a ton vs Neb but had little to show for it. That game played a big part in the strategy that followed I believe.

His dad had a great baseline jump shot.

Was Spencer Petra healthy for Iowa these past 5 games or so? If he was they still decided to play that dad bod (with a lot of beer drinking) instead of Petras?

He seems to have all the physical tools. I don't recall who the Gophers were playing but I think he started the first game of his freshman year, and he was already big and fast. So great that he is doing well in the NFL. Did anyone watch the Ravens game last night? I couldn't tell if L Jackson...

I wonder what Illinois had to fork out to get their veteran Jason Paddock who came in on 4th and 10 vs the Gophers and never looked back. I think Minnesota has to be resourceful and consider MAC or lower conference guys that are accurate and make good decisions. Somebody like this App State...

I'll match that!

It's different than when Sanford struggled. There were a lot plays this year that had big play potential (nice design with receivers wide open), but usually the QB failed to execute and sometimes the receivers dropped the ball. However, part of coaching is knowing the strengths of your players...

And trending the wrong way. We need a new group of Harvey McKay's to become boosters. I believe Harvey is/was part of the Paul Giel friend group that supported Gopher athletics and was generous in giving back to his community and university. Here might be the only positive thing that Reusse...

Nice to have that John Mellencamp money 😀

Someone came at me before for a post around this, but I would say the way T Morgan debuted vs Nebraska and then played really well for 1.5 years was the exception to Gopher QB play in my lifetime. I think the way Athan has looked this year is similar to how most first year starting Gopher QBs...

Do you mean the 4th down low probability pass to CrAB in the 4th Q? That was not a smart play.

Well I am glad that you feel like you blossomed thanks in part to Mpls and U of M education. I don't understand the wanting to crap on the place that you came from. No reason kids from outstate MN or other areas wouldn't look to the U of M campus as great option and pretty unique for the BIG.

That's right. I just looked up that game and I had forgotten that Croft threw three 4th quarter TDs and making the score 30-27. We almost Northwesterned MSU in 2017.

Okay I get that. We live on the edge of the North Side and I agree that it is a challenging situation to turn around. There are generations of poverty in the North side and it's concentrated. Many kids don't get to see successful people in the hood that look like them. Two of my kids went to...
