B. Win one of the NC, Iowa, Penn St, Mich games and I’d probably have gone with A. I came into this season figuring it was a 5 win season and really down on the prospects. Fleck opened up his game and the players stepped up with it. Really glad to have been proven wrong. Fun team to watch...

Wow! Great game! Very well-rounded effort and complete domination. Love it!!! Ecstatic with the win in this game and very pleased with the season overall. I’ve been critical of Fleck over the last several years and honestly didn’t think he was capable of changing his game. This season...

Sharp! Love it!

I don’t mind you disagreeing. We all have opinions. But it would seem the U of M is in the vast majority, not minority. In the 14 years I’ve spent as a season ticket holder, I don’t remember any B1G school bringing their band into our stadium. It’s possible some have, but it’s mighty rare.

I guess everyone has their particular annoyances. The configuration of the band pit never bothered me. The fact that we allowed an opponent’s band into our stadium to keep their team and fans rev’d up bothers me immensely. Maybe there’s some NCAA rule that says we have to. I don’t know. In...

If they had time to get the field goal unit on the field, they had time to set up for a shot at the end zone. They'd been effectively moving the ball in the final minute (+) leading up to that field goal. No guarantee they score the TD. As we've seen this year, no guarantee we hit the FG...

Curious… who blamed the refs for the loss?

If Fleck had the stones to score a touchdown at the end of the first half, the onside kick wouldn’t even have been necessary.

Too little, too late. There’s no good reason EVERY call shouldn’t be reviewable. It’s a fast-moving game and refs are human. They get things wrong. Besides the players being treated right, there’s HUGE money at stake with some of these games. Video review should ALWAYS be available to back...

Here's the way I look at this and the question... the question is about the coaching and not necessarily team performance. I'm looking at coaching decisions. Fleck could have stuck with the run even though it wasn't working so great (like he usually does). He didn't. Fleck could have just...

I’m open to being corrected on this… but I don’t think Rhode Island crossed the 50 until something like 7 minutes to go in the game. And then they lost 5 yards on a false start. So RI never ran a play from the Gophers end of the field. Even with a weaker opponent, that’s pretty decent defense.

I acknowledge the weak opponent, but the coaching staff answered all my complaints from over the last couple years. Opened the playbook and threw the ball all over the field. Actually attempted to score a touchdown with time running out in the first half. Returners actually returning kicks...

Yep, this is where I'm at. I'm excited to see what the team puts together, how Brosmer does, etc. But I'm not going to be delusional about the W/L record. It's an uphill climb.

We got a survey at the end of the season two or three years ago asking for general feedback on things like this. I think last year I got an email asking for feedback after every game (general "rate your overall experience" type of thing). I don't recall getting anything this year.

Agreed. That's a big opportunity that would relive a lot of concourse congestion. I think it was two years ago there was a tent on upper deck behind the student section where they had a flattop griddle and they were cooking up brats. It was great. This year that was taken away and the brats...

Ah, yes. What was I thinking?? I was surfing The Knot on Tuesday and a football game broke out…

Not the prettiest game. Didn’t scream “B1G Football”. The weaknesses are still evident. But it was an interesting game and entertaining. Take the wins where you can get them.

I’m amazed at the inside track some on this board seem to have (seriously). So I’ll ask the question that’s been rolling around in my head…. Dad seems to be heavily invested in the boys‘ football careers. Is there some insistance from Dad that the boys go together as a pair? I saw the trip...

Agreed, lots of good news. It would seem Max is a big upgrade from Athan. I hope it pans out that way. And I hope the coaching staff take full advantage of that instead of wearing out another running back. I’m looking forward to seeing what Max and Jackson can do if given the chance.

Nicely played!
