I would add 2017 - Doesn't have an Oline or DLine. Anyone remember that darn game against MSU here when MSU ran the same power sweep all night and MN could not stop it? He has improved those key position groups (O and D line) since coming here.

I have lived in Mpls since 1991 and I think it's one of the best cities in the country. Great parks system, really good housing stock, good public schools (not as good as maybe 5 years ago) for a good sized american city, and plenty to do. It absolutely should be selling point outside of...

That 82 game was the first Gopher game I attended. Somehow I still got hooked. The Metrodome seemed exciting, fans were pumped, and Hohensee was a pretty good QB. Little did I know as a 12 year old that Smokey Joe and the Metrodome were both poor fits for the program. I really do not like the...

This team needs practices, and I love watching bowl games especially with BIG teams. Also it's a good message both locally and nationally to say this team was awarded a bowl invite due to their excellent academic standing.

Hmm, I guess I never thought your were a paranoid crazy person before. Did you go to school at the University of Minnnesota? Have you spent any time in the city lately?

Well it took until the last game of the year, but the punt and kick return games seemed reasonable today. I miss the old days where you could bring in a Damien Wilson or De'Vondre Campbell to suddenly make the LB corp one of the better in the big ten.

Yes we need a report of what it was like!

Gopher Seniors do not go out with the win they deserved

Yes for sure. I still think if he would have played vs Purdue, Purdue might have punted a few times. He is a huge factor.

I don't know why the offense can look fluid and decent like on the two TD drives and then look so constipated on other drives. I know Wisconsin's front 7 outplayed the Gophers, but some of the pass plays were obvious like 3rd and 8 and then Athan didn't typically make good throws or decisions.

Key guys that I hope stay: Offense: D Jackson A Ersery Athan because we need him and the staff needs to develop him during the offseason Freshman OL Johnson Defense: Wally Joyner Really everyone as the defense had zero depth this year (capable of playing well)

From The Gopher Gridiron podcast it sounds like it takes upwards of $150k per year to bring in a transfer QB and I don't know whether DA has that type of money yet.

So true. Came in extremely thin, and then a crazy amount of defensive players lost during the game. Wisconsin's won the line of scrimmage battle after Minnesota won it the past few years. Allen finally had success vs Minnesota and he no longer was timid. Gophers DLine rarely got pressure and...

As a Gopher fan I feel like we had the rug pulled out from under us. We supported the team through tough times, and then finally the things that we knew needed to happen were taken care of: 1. Outdoor stadium 2. Premier practice facilities 3. Better coaching hires with Kill and then Fleck. And...

I would say the opener vs OSU in 2021 was competitive. The team and coach played to win and the talent gap wasn't as large. Also was it 2018 when the Gophers played a respectable game at Columbus? Also prior to NIL the BIG West was stronger. This year just feels like the whole West took a couple...

On the positive the D Line played better at times. Having Walley play man against Harrison Jr worked well and I wish the defense played more man. Evans was effective. It was obvious to everyone how big the talent gap was and is. It seems to be getting worse with NIL and it's really dissapointing...

I wonder if the secondary poor play is somewhat scheme and probably injury related. In today's game, Walley mostly played man on the best college receiver and for the most part locked it down. He is a really good man corner. I think the zone coverage this year has been really bad and not sure...

Has the Rossi secondary always played this much zone? God they are terrible in zone for much of the year. I know Walley and Nubin are good to great players. Can Rossi make an adjustment to man or coach up the zone?

Huh? I think for a lot of young people it is a big selling point. It’s one of the top ten cities in the country I would argue.

I agree. Something was off yesterday besides missing two linebackers. The D Line was dominated. Anyone remember that Purdue extra point where the center and guard picked up our d tackle and body slammed him? The D Line was dominated yesterday.
