    If the gophs beat Purdue, MSU, and Illinois

    The cool thing about being fans, and not players or coaches on the team, is that we can look ahead, speculate, analyze, criticize, and it doesn't make a single bit of difference in the outcomes on the field. I can right now assume that we'll win out, dream of making it to the Big Ten...

    CBS: Big Ten football grades - midseason report (Minnesota: D-)

    You have wisconsin as a probable win, and Purdue as a possible win? Huh? Using Sagarin we'd right now be a 9 or 10 point home underdog to Becky and a 2 or 3 point underdog at Purdue.

    Tanner Morgan signed by the Vikings

    Ah, no. Practice squad QBs who suit up the full season are paid ~$200K. The minimum salary for a player on the 53-man roster is $750K for rookies and $870K for veterans. The backup QB for the Vikings, Nick Mullens, is being paid $2.1M this season. Call me crazy, but I find the job paying 10x...

    2 Keys to Win v Michigan

    If the objective is to win the game, you're right, there is no point in showing up. If you feel differently, I will wager any amount you wish on this game straight up. Let me know if you're interested and name your price.

    2 Keys to Win v Michigan

    I have never been more sure of anything in my life than the fact that we will lose this game, and lose big. This Michigan squad is the best team we've played in many years, likely at least since 2014 OSU, and possibly even longer than that. The current spreads I've seen of -19.5 or -20 are...

    What is the number one change you'd make to the cuurrent program?

    Yes, the pass play was open for a TD if we had Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or even Drake Maye holding the ball for us. Instead, we had Cole Kramer. I can rip the play call because you tailor your scheme and play calls to your personnel, not the other way around.

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

    This is not correct. Hell, Ersery started as a true freshman at RT against Nebraska in 2020, and played pretty much the whole game as I recall. Two true freshman OL played in 2019 as well - Guedet against Rutgers and Cooper against Maryland.

    Deep Dive of Redzone Playcalling against EMU

    In this case, it isn't on Kramer. He should not have had the option to throw, particularly considering that we were marching to potentially tie the game, our running game was carving them up, and it seemed likely that AK would be back on the field in short order. With where we were on the field...

    Deep Dive of Redzone Playcalling against EMU

    Things have to go perfectly for us to win against the top-tier teams regardless of the way we play.

    What uniforms will the Gophers wear for the opener with Nebraska?

    Man, Cheryl Hines used to be so hot. Now she's had so many surgeries she looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and she's married to one of the biggest psychos on the planet.

    All Things 2023 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    People rightfully rip on Mauer because he destroyed any value he had by moving to 1B. In his first ten seasons, he was an all-time great catcher and a lock future HOFer, a Roy Campanella/Bill Dickey/Mickey Cochrane type player. He moved to 1B for his final five seasons and despite being among...

    CBS: 10 win lock totals (Minnesota over 7)

    Love the optimism, but there is no way we'll be 7-point favorites in the ILL or @PUR games. Bert is a fat piece of shit asshole, but he is also a damn good coach and I'm frankly pretty surprised that more people aren't talking about Illinois' chances to win the West. This might very well be...

    Northwestern Fires Pat Fitzgerald

    Yeah, Frost was so much better than Brewster. Frost was 16-31 at Nebraska and Brewster was 15-30 at Minnesota. Brewster also went to 2 bowls while Frost went to zero. Yup, Frost really proved he was vastly superior.

    Wyatt Gilmore Watch

    I know Randy personally, and he most certainly does not hate the Gophers. He ran track at Iowa St. (not Iowa), so he has no reason to hate the Gophers. The Shaver Fund has given many millions of dollars to cancer research at the U, and his son graduated with an MD from the U of M medical...

    Athletic Department Contact

    I mean, come on. We're factoring in travel costs now? I didn't realize the cost of gas, tires, and oil changes went to the Gopher athletic department. Thanks for enlightening me. I wish you would just give in (as you are both wrong), but what you're saying is simply not factual. He...

    Athletic Department Contact

    Well yeah, if you want to guarantee your seat of choice for every game, it's going to cost a lot more than that - but that isn't what I said. In fact, it's even less than what I said in the previous post, as I just looked it up and it's less than $200 for the Gopher Pass, or ~$28.50 per game...

    Athletic Department Contact

    Huh? You can go to literally any Gophers home game you want for $30-40. You're being more than a little disingenuous. Of course they're going to ask for donations, just like virtually every other post-secondary institution on the planet. You are free to say no.

    Miles Fleming Hits The Portal

    It was both. Karl Dorrell is a nice guy who is not fit to be a head coach. His ceiling is NFL or high-major WR coach, and somehow he's talked his way into two high-major head coaching jobs. We can all testify as to how awful Mike Sanford is, and he too talked his way into yet another...
