    Lindenberg Declares for NFL

    That’s what we said about Sori-Marin but he was very easy to replace.

    Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota at Illinois

    Hoping for the opposite but a road game against Bielema and a competent QB pushes me this way: ILL: 26 MN: 19

    How many wins are left????

    I don't want to get anyone pounded for a positive view but there is verbatim post just a few up that says, "I'd actually put USC in your pick 'em group." There is also a lot of people saying it wouldn't be a surprise to beat USC because of XYZ. It should be a huge surprise if we beat USC given...

    How many wins are left????

    It's wild to me that people think USC is a pick 'em game when they are the #11 ranked team in the nation with a history of strong performance while we are like 6-40 against ranked teams in the last few decades with a history of losing even winnable games, including losing to a bad UNC game this...

    How many wins are left????

    Those four pick them games may fit the category for us, but I would be surprised if we are favored in any. Maybe Maryland at home following a bye. At Rutgers, at Illinois, at WI - those will all have the home team favored (Illinois likely heavily favored). The UCLA game is a must win game for...

    A huge concern

    We've played UNC, Iowa, and MI - all of which are incompetent offenses. We found a way to lose all three (finding ways to lose being the core of our identity). We've lost 7 or 8 straight against P4 opponents. We're too weak and slow to focus on the run, so the passing schema better get a whole...

    It appears an undefeated college football team ranked in the top 30 of the AP Poll just lost its starting quarterback ... because of an NIL dispute.

    All of this was transparently predictable. CFB is less cool than it used to be - just straight up. Players are also less cool I think just due to their need to maximize money during age 18-22. What a nightmare. These cats are already glamorized on campus and now doing so with hundreds of...

    Where Are We Headed

    I think this season is especially damning in our program direction. We are upper-classman heavy with a lot of positions this group recruited. DL, LB, WR, and OL are all underwhelming. And I’m not convinced it’s due to talent. The game management and adjustments seem to be a net negative. Special...

    Anyone See Another Win?

    So it is bad - 1 win every 2-3 years. I was making a little brother analogy not a claim on records. This includes 0-14 stretches against WI and 1-8 against IA. These have also been pretty mediocre to poor teams which are propped up record and defensive numbers-wise by playing in the insanely...

    Anyone See Another Win?

    Because that depends on the length of time we are choosing but if we did everything 2000 and after, yeah 1/10 sounds about right when thinking a combined record against IA and WI. I don't know maybe it's more like 1/8 or such but it isn't good. And we celebrate 3 of 6, absolute parity, against...

    STrib: P.J. Fleck’s Gophers slumping vs. major conference opponents

    This futility against P4/P5 opponents is the most directional and damning information we have about the strength of the program. UNC is a bad program and probably (we hoped) about on par with us. It’s really embarrassing, disheartening, and sad that, on top of consistently playing boring...

    After 25 years… I’m out

    Lol oh man CBJ catching it even in the offseason and on the football thread. He deserves it but egad Gopher brothers will the buffoonery of our FB and BB programs ever end?

    Anyone See Another Win?

    The program is not chaotic - it is consistent. Consistent in its losing. Consistent in its boring and predictable style of play. Consistent in being completely incapable of overcoming any deficit of 7+ points. Consistent in getting absolutely drilled by our main "rivals" (who I can't imagine...

    Gophers PJ Fleck 1-6 Against Iowa

    Those are good standalone records but the B1G West has been so abysmal for so long that those records were inflated. Like winning the AL Central most years. We saw that come to fruition when they got smashed every year in the B1G title game. Fleck's WI record is better but I guess I am still...
