    Reusse looks at star ratings for Georgia, OSU, Bama, Gophs: "Not intended as shot at Gophs; just numbers showing why college FB sucks."

    College Football is great; the thrill of beating your rival is as good as it gets. The memory of pulling that upset against a #1 or #2 team is never forgotten. But I think his point is fair: The realistic # of programs that can win a national title is about 6 or 7. There's no reason the...

    Anyone planning to watch Sconnie vs Ok State?

    I know they do; I'm wondering why they do it. It appears to be a more dangerous playing surface & they have plenty of time to get it back to MLB standards. I was bringing up other MLB venues that host things on their field & they seem to be able to get it back to top notch. Fenway hosted a...

    Anyone planning to watch Sconnie vs Ok State?

    I'm all for having a bad bowl game in a baseball stadium to add some uniqueness to it, but they have to do something about the playing surface at this game. What is the reason? Are they bringing in different grass for the Pinstripe Bowl? Fenway is hosting a hockey game. Target Field has...

    Syracuse fans reacting to Minnesota fans reacting to playing Syracuse

    I have nothing against Syracuse. I'd probably have the same reaction if we were playing North Carolina, knowing that they're on the schedule the next few seasons. But counting this bowl game, since 2012, the Gophers will have played Syracuse the same number of times as they've played...

    Bowl Game Projections?

    I think Minnesota projections to Pinstripe has more to do with that Maryland was there last year than Maryland being more worthy of a higher bowl than Minnesota.

    I'm just here to read the "what the hell is that 3rd down call?" where Mo gets the 1st down posters.....

    Bret Bielema after this game: "I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money or ratings. I won't be silent. I just saw it live"

    Pass needs to be caught behind the LOS. WR caught it at least 2-3 yards beyond. Complete OPI. Watched it live; said it at the time. But not surprised it wasn’t called; especially when thrown toward the MI sideline. Force official to make the call. One play doesn’t define a game. IL could...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    RE Going for it: I think an argument can be made on both sides. I think what it boils down to is how the game is going. Nebraska's offense did not score a TD after the first drive of the game. Much more difficult to do that having to go 85-90 yards than 40. People want to say "if the Nebraska...

    P.J. Fleck explains Gophers' cautious, run-heavy play-calling from 31-0 victory over Rutgers

    Personally, I'd say that's even more of a defense to not do anything stupid.

    P.J. Fleck explains Gophers' cautious, run-heavy play-calling from 31-0 victory over Rutgers

    It was a 2 score game in the 4th quarter until a turnover in their own territory. If you were coach & wanted to do that, I will give you credit; you have bigger balls than I do.

    P.J. Fleck explains Gophers' cautious, run-heavy play-calling from 31-0 victory over Rutgers

    I hear what you're saying, but I think it's a lot easier said than done. I remember once when Mason was asked why he doesn't throw more screen passes, his reply was to the effect "we don't run it well in practice; if we can't run it in practice, we're not going to try it in a game." I think...

    P.J. Fleck explains Gophers' cautious, run-heavy play-calling from 31-0 victory over Rutgers

    I hear ya; my counter would be "we don't have the passing game because we don't have a receiver like YOU here. One that can get off the ball & make plays. You can be our next Bateman/Johnson." I'm encouraged that Daniel Jackson can be a good short to mid-range guy.....but I think there's a...

    2023 Schedule out Tomorrow

    Not only do MN & Purdue both get OSU & MI, both have some decent non-conference opponents: MN with North Carolina & Purdue with VA Tech & Syracuse. Fleck & Brohm may be best buddies by the time they play on 11/11, having to offer words of encouragement to each other....
