    The Fox is on the loose!

    We may even go 10 deep with Jack Wilson against certain teams. It won't be often, but how many teams get any value at all from their 10th man? CBJ's done a great job of collecting guys, even at the end of the bench, who can help us in certain match-ups, or who have a certain skill that can help...

    The Fox is on the loose!

    They really play two different positions. Fox is the back-up at the 4, or Power Forward, behind Josh, and Garcia. Which one of those would you want to take minutes away from? Plus, he's got the bad knees. I think he's perfect coming in off the bench & firing us up. Ihnen is more of a 3, a...

    The Fox is on the loose!

    It was scary, but he was walking around just fine, no limp, not long after that fall.

    Dennis Evans will not be medically cleared to compete At Lville going forward

    Louisville was very underwhelmed with Evans. He played less, and less as the season progressed, until the coach finally said the following, and now Dennis has a mystery illness, and isn't being allowed to play anymore? Something doesn't smell right to me. "I'm not sitting here saying, 'I don't...

    2024 Offensive Line

    We're replacing Boe at Center, likely with Cade McConnell who is considered next man up. Reports are that McConnell is very good. He'll be a r-So so we'll lose some maturity from Boe, but talent-wise he's an upgrade. Jerome Williams & Brett Carroll will both be given a chance in camp, but...

    Fred Hoiberg: Minnesota is the Suprise Team in the Big Ten

    That's a legitimate concern, but that 3 more than we had the last couple years. If we get Carrington back, we're at 4 solid guards. That'd be 4 guys who can handle the ball, and a lot of situational match-up flexibility on defense.

    Brosmer will practice with Gophers in Detroit

    That's why I use the Mayan calendar.

    Brosmer will practice with Gophers in Detroit

    Changes to college football rules killed JFK, and keep prescription drug costs high.

    Corey Crooms declares for the NFL draft before Quicklane Bowl

    Wasn't he a Senior this year? I just assumed he wouldn't be back next season, and that Kristen Hoskins would step into the slot position? In addition to Hoskins, we'll have three experienced receivers returning in Daniel Jackson, Elijah Spencer, and Lemeke Brockington. Looks like we're going...

    St. Olaf Wins the D-III National Championship in Soccer

    Nice! My twin daughters played club soccer for St Paul Blackhawks & two former teammates are Freshmen on that St Olaf team.

    Jack Wilson's nickname should be:

    His nickname is the 'Jackhammer'.

    Greg Johnson became the first true freshman O-lineman to play for Minnesota since Daniel Faalele in 2018

    Johnson came in at his position of LG, and it's interesting to note they slid Tyler Cooper over to RG, moving Lewis to the bench. On another series, Johnson played his LG position, Lewis played his RG position, and Cooper took a breather. Looks like they want to work Johnson in & see what...

    Gizmo Brew Works Chapel Hill

    We're getting in Thursday night & are headed to the 'Top Of the Hill' to watch the Vikings, drinks & dinner. Looks like a good spot for the Vikes game if anyone wants to check it out? https://www.thetopofthehill.com/

    Possible hurricane game vs UNC

    Nah, it was done intentionally to cause this reaction. There's certain things you don't bring up in a forum like this in 2023 unless you're looking to stir the pot. Religion, abortion, climate change, gun control, Covid vaccines, etc.

    RT/RG

    Pretty sure Johnson's at LG behind Cooper/Shaw, and Ashton Beers is backing up RG behind Lewis. Don't be surprised if overall Beers is actually closer to starting than Johnson. Man does the future look bright along our OL with Cade McConnell at C, Johnson & Beers at G, Tony Nelson at LT, and...

    RT/RG

    Nelson's a Left Tackle, and will probably never play anywhere else on the line. He is Ersery's heir apparent at the position. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ashton Beers, or even Greg Johnson get some run at Guard as the season goes on, and they gain experience. Cade McConnell is inline to...

    There's no doubt that Carroll is a better pass blocker than Lewis. He's also a better run blocker than Lewis. Carroll got a bad rap because he sucked the 1st half of last season in pass protection. He was one of our top guys in pass protection the 2nd half of last season though, and our top guy...

    RT/RG

    Spot on. We were crappy in run blocking, even the guys who scored highest, and overall we did well in pass protection.
