Mainly agree. I've posted pretty much the exact same comments - probably more than a year ago. Surprisingly, though, Mo struck me as considerable MORE explosive this year. After returning from an injury. Don't know how that happened. Didn't really think that was possible. But he picked...

Trade back and get JMS; pick up an upper-half-of-the-league Guard in free agency. Done. Offensive line is fixed. Cine and Booth both come back from IR. That lets the D not play two slow veterans on every down in the backfield. That lets the LBs play up to help out the line. Draft a...

Vikings interior OL needs a massive boost. JMS would fill a gaping hole for The Purple. Let's make that happen.

Traveling and totally missed the game. Stuck in North Carolina - should be in Virginia. Anyhow, looks like the Gophers held them nicely under 70. So it was a good showing?

(1) Permit schools to pay the players. (2) Let the players unionize, and engage in collective bargaining. (3) Engage the collective bargaining process to impose legal salary caps. (4) Form two super conferences, constituted of divisions to preserve rivalries. (5) No time-limits on eligibility...

Wasn't a foul. Very nice win. The point isn't the win, per se. It's the assembly of the team and its constituents - we're seeing it happen. This is a development year, as will be next year. Toward the end of next year, we'll begin to see the stable outcome. For now, relax and enjoy. Nice...

He never has been a disaster - as you know - and he continues to show his true colors. Looking like a team coming together. Will take time, but if you actually enjoy watching development, this is fun.

Computers "love" the Gophers because the Gophers control the course of a game - and that shows up in statistics. The Gophers win by controlling the course of the game. That's the upside. The downside is that the Gophers cannot win without controlling the course of the game. By contrast...

I totally missed the game. Sounds like they are improving step-by-step?

I missed the game. Odd time of day to play ball. Looks like we won? We're back on track, then?

I'm closing in on starting a thread devoted to clowns. Two-thirds here will be included.

DING! DING! DING! Smart again! MNJay is on it. Again. This is on the right track. There are trolls harassing the program; we see them; we recognize them for what they are; they can do nothing. This is a remarkable start for the Gophers program.

CLOWNS.

Someone else - apologies, I forget who right now - asked me a similar question within the last week. Something to the effect of: when would I start looking at W's and L's? My answer was toward the end of next season. Things should start to being to come together then. ...Until then, relax...

My beard is gray too. Patience is not age-bound. Sit your ancient ass tight a little longer - you'll be glad you did.

Here's what I see: A bunch of CLOWNS on this board. Impatient, unrealistic, demanding, entitled, uninsightful. Except for a few. You, sir, are one of the few exceptions. You're one of the good ones. Freshmen might be hesitant? Unsure? Feeling their collective way into things? Say it...

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I loved last night, and have been thoroughly impressed this year. MNJay is on-point. Stop watching for wins and losses. Look at what is developing, not whether the team is constructed to win now - it isn't. Ben is getting young guys - who have talent...

Toward the end of next season. This warrants a longer explanation - but I'm a little time-constrained now. So I'll say it the "abbreviated" way. Ben is doing something similar to what PJ did when he first arrived. He is installing guys with the highest ceilings. That means you'll lose. If...

Half the posters on this board are clowns. Anyone remember what Andre Hollins looked like most of his freshman year? Not good - with moments of promise in between. Then - with about a half-dozen games remaining - boom. It clicked. And we saw what he'd look like in the following year...

It's ok, guys. I just put my glasses on. Shooting will change.
