    Players lost this more than coaches

    This X 100. The coaches lost this game, not the players. Tyler is probably a very nice young man and will do great things in life but he fumbles. Why Fleck had him in a position to fumble near the goal line is confusing but he made that decision. He had to know Beleima would have the kicker kick...

    Players lost this more than coaches

    It starts with the University itself which decided to put Mark Coye in charge of athletics who hired PJ who recruited the players. A player known to fumble; #2 didn't put himself deep to take the opening kickoff but when Beleima saw him back there, the Illinois coaches knew to kick the ball to...

    All Things D2 and D3 College Football 2023 Season Thread

    I believe, in the past, the type of D3 athletes that UST recruited are now landing on all the other MIAC teams and Augsburg is reaping the reward of having that type of player on the roster.

    Well, I finally joined Dinkytown Athletes - whose with me, and whose already here?

    I’m in DTA at a low monthly payment level. You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. Season ticket holder too.

    AK... Do I have this correct?

    Fleck has been unable to recruit a QB and other players who can play at a level I expected in year 7. Maybe it is a combo of coaching and players but I do believe in the old saying: "Jimmy's and Joe's beat X's and O's". Maybe many of you were expecting to see a drop-off like this but I was...

    Gophers AD Mark Coyle: Fans can look forward to more marquee nonconference games

    Iron Sharpens Iron. Marquee Games like these are part of the process to improve. The Gophers definitely will not get better playing Eastern Michigan or playing in inter-squad scrimmages as they can't replicate the speed and athleticism in practice they will see playing Michigan, Penn State, or...

    What News from Fall Camp?

    PJ is playing to win. Fickell is selling himself and his offense for the next time the Ohio State job opens up. He is starting early.

    I hope it's Taylor but I voted for Evans, he looked good in the spring game.

    Mike Harley: It’s time for Gopher football fans to appreciate what Fleck is building

    I said this before but I see PJ as the upcoming AD and his culture continuing on through possibly a former player (Morgan, Winston D.?) or similar coach. An Alvarez or Osborne-style winning program in the future but with PJ's established standards.

    Official 2024 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    I am delighted with this class if the out-of-state guys that sign are as good or better than the instate guys who do not sign. They may be better players coming from football states with better high school programs overall than Minnesota.

    Recruiting the South

    Hockey in Minnesota is possibly a better comparison to football in the southern states. Kids play hockey in driveways, streets, skating rinks, ponds, and lakes here in MN.
