The Gophers are 28-1 in non-conference games since the 2015 season-opening loss to #2 TCU, including six straight bowl wins. That's not too bad.

Yeah, one weather thread being commented on by the same six or seven posters about a game TONIGHT in a sea of hundreds of other threads is a real fixation. We should rename this site WeatherGopher or something with an obsession like this. The real fixation is a Badger fan coming onto a Gopher...

Mo rushed for 71 yards in two quarters against that defense. It is apparent Mo was a difference maker. Last time we rushed for as little as we did last night (55 yards) was the Purdue game last year (47 yards). Guess who didn't play in the Purdue game?

Agreed, which is exactly why I pointed out what I did. Not sure if Murr was agreeing or disagreeing with me, or just adding context.

I would add that Athan seemed to start strong against the 3-3-5 of Syracuse. He was 7-for-9 for 80 yards with a couple of nice drives before he was hurt. Then Tanner entered and we went run heavy again. Tanner threw 7 total passes in two and a half quarters. No Ibrahim in the 2nd half, either.

A one-time Gopher commit.

Good news is Nessler will be doing Big Ten games again now that CBS is part of the Big Ten TV package. Gary Danielson is his partner nowadays on CBS, as he was when Nessler first started at ESPN back in the 1990s. Hopefully, Nessler gets a game or two in his home state.

So, there is some glitch. You have to skip past the initial sign-in step and enter the app as a guest. Then, go to "manage tickets" and sign in and you're good. I had to call the ticket office last week with the same issue. Apparently, the ticket sign-in is different than the actual app sign-in.

Some details from Mara on the summer workouts, style of play, transition to new coach and her time on US basketball this summer. She comments about the coaches pouring everything they have into having the team prepared. She seems to be a fan of the staff and ready to be coached up. I thought...

I guess its in the eye of the beholder and I'd call this kind of a weird gripe and wasted energy. I could just as easily say "I hate when someone says 'he can make all the throws." Why not just say he has arm talent? Seems easier and more concise. By the way, I think House is REALLY good.

I like two play-in games to a straight, single-elimination 16-team tourney, no byes. A Sweet 16, of sorts. It could get done Wed-Sun. You'd need to hold it in a city where there are two venues to play eight games on Thursday with slightly staggered start times. BTN, FS1, CBS Sports...

He is going to be a stud, whether here or at Kansas. I don't think PJ missed on his assessment. It is unfortunate he left.

I have no idea who was there or not, but there is large KARE 11 logo'd microphone right in front of PJ on the video that you linked.

The one thing Northwestern does is change which sideline they are on depending on time of year and weather. The Gophers have traditionally played there in November, so the home team was put in the sun (opposite the press box side), with Minnesota on the west side in the shade (colder). This...

Is this a joke? He's been the voice of the Twins for 12 seasons.

Yeah, you're probably correct. Playing Wilson at center 12 minutes per game instead of 2 minutes per game while one or two of Garcia, Ola-Joseph, Fox, Payne, Ihnin and others sit on the bench will make the difference. Good call. I am currently perusing NCAA Tournament sites to see which one I...

Garcia started at "center" all season last year. If Payne gets in foul trouble, then Garcia moves to the 5, and Ola-Joseph/Fox/Ihnen can easily play the 4. Wilson will likely play sparingly.

Some elementary numbers: Kill/Claeys in six years: 40-37 overall (.519) 20-29 Big Ten (.408) 2-3 in bowl games (.333) 1 2nd place Big Ten West 5x 4th or worse in Big Ten West Fleck in six years: 44-27 overall (.620) 26-26 in Big Ten (.500) 4-0 in bowls (1.000) 1 co-championship Big Ten...

Technically, PJ won the division in 2019. There is a Big Ten West championship trophy in the Gopher football facility. The Gophers simply lost the head-to-head with Wisconsin for the title game appearance. It is a bit of a hallow title because of that, but it is a step further than anything...

You can break down offense, defense, QB, RB, WR, and whatever else you want..... The biggest factor in who wins the Big Ten West in 2023 is and will be the schedule rotation. Minnesota snags both of Ohio State and Michigan (along MSU), with road games at Iowa and OSU. Tough, tough, tough...
