    P.J. Fleck on struggling offense: 'This isn't backyard football'

    Oh boy. When the coach starts to get defensive like this when all evidence points to him not doing a great job or being needlessly stubborn, it usually doesn’t end well. I like you, PJ, but it’s not a good look and it’s not in your best interest. You start to look like Kill who can’t take...

    Florida Gators Coach Billy Napier's Buyout $26 Million - UPDATE: Other Coaching Hot Seats

    Looking at FSU's schedule, it's crazy their 3 non-conference games are Memphis (week 3), Notre Dame (week 10-does this count against their conference record??), Charleston Southern (week 11), and Florida (week 12). They also have those classic ACC opponents in Cal and SMU. I'm surprised the...

    Max Brosmer vowing to be more efficient after disappointing debut

    If the Gophers get a lead, PJ will lock down the offense and they’ll end up with 12 pass attempts and Major with 43 carries. So you might be a bit optimistic with 150 passing yards.

    Week 1 Other Games Thread

    Weber State’s QB is currently 4/15 for 30 yards. To be fair, their OL is completely overmatched and he’s had no time. But their passing game is worse!

    Zona now pulling away. It was a really good game for most of the first half.

    Moore had no business getting that job. It’s Michigan, so he has tons of resources. But he also has a ton of expectations. The chances of him flaming out seem high, IMO. The idea of putting a ton of weight on “continuity” between coaching staffs means so much less now in the age of paying...

    This screams successful OC

    The last, what, two years?? PJ hasn’t used all of his assistant coach salary pool. I really don’t think money is the issue. It looks like most G5 OCs are in the $300-400k range. The Gophers should be able to swing $800k-$1MM from the salary pool. I would think many people would be willing to...

    New Food and Drink Offerings at Huntington Bank Stadium

    One of my biggest complaints with HBS is the water situation. Target Field has water stations and they advertise every radio broadcast to bring your water bottle and get the free filtered water. Meanwhile, you cannot bring in sealed water bottles or even empty reusable water bottles to HBS. I’ve...

    This screams successful OC

    I would think he would be able to find a successful G5 OC looking for a promotion. But he’s stuck himself in a box only hiring guys from “his network” which limits his options. He is so hung up on only getting guys that are all-in on his Fleck-isms that he looks at that more than actual ability...

    Gophers stadium staff lets off fireworks after the missed kick (video)

    It certainly confused my 5 year old. “Did the Gophers win?” No, bud, they did not.

    This is spot on.

    I’m convinced PJ is playing for field goal attempts, and any TDs are merely conservative plays run awry.

    Stormy Rowing Ahead?

    Leaving the U park and ride on Monday on 4th St to 35W took us an extra 20 mins to get through campus with no students and no game. It will be an absolute cluster today. First thing my wife says, “good thing we park on West Bank”.

    Trojan Wire: The Minnesota Golden Gophers are the Big Ten equivalent of what Cal was to the Pac-12.

    USC winning % post Pete Carroll (4 coaches if you include Sarkisian's short tenure): (.666) USC winning % Pete Carroll: (.815) USC winning % of the three coaches prior to Pete Carroll: (.629) USC is a very good program. Winning more than 2/3 of your conference games over many years isn't easy...

    Minnesota State Fair Thread

    Went today. Good gravy it was hot. It must have scared people off; by far the least busy day I can ever remember attending. No lines anywhere.

    All Things Gophers 2024-25 Schedule Updates

    To all you season ticket holders, sorry you have to pay for this garbage. Meanwhile, I’m going to take advantage of the state fair specials and go buy some non-con games with the 4/$40 deal and conference games with the 4/$50 deal. I’m sure there will be all of 4k others with me watching the...

    All Things Gophers 2024-25 Schedule Updates

    Considering Coyle hung his neck out (about as far as he ever will) and said he expected the non-con to be better, CBJ really took a crap on that and made him look bad. If I'm scratching and clawing to keep my job, not sure making my boss look bad is a great way to go.

    How continuity has shaped P.J. Fleck's Minnesota tenure | NBC Sports (video)

    Maybe PJ has relaxed a bit. That is by far the slowest I've ever heard him say "RTBSUMGG" at the end.

    Kirk Ferentz commits recruiting violation

    I’ve been to Iowa twice. Never had a problem; reasonably nice, even. The Iowa fans that come to MN however, absolute garbage. Wisky fans on the other hand are equally shitty home or away.
