    The New Wildcat

    It has worked and it has failed. It is very very predictable and is less effective against B1G opponents than non-con. At least the way we’ve used it. Is the wildcat more effective than just running out a jumbo package with Morgan under center? I don’t know but the current iteration of the...

    Denver Post calls Minnesota/Colorado game "a massive “swing” game for both programs."

    I don't know why Kill/Claeys are in discussion but, despite 8-9 wins, the teams they coached never seemed dangerous (and often seemed incompetent), and that played out by never beating our rivals and by never beating a team that finished the season ranked. Their tenure was not successful. The...

    Mo Ouch! - Injury Watch Thread

    I don’t think this is accurate. The drop from Ibrahim to Potts/Wiley is substantial. what would have been 4 yard runs will be 2 yard runs and that is a major impact for an offense that seems like it will need to rely on consistent drives as opposed to explosive plays.

    Defensive Struggles

    Our linebackers are a general weakness against any competition, but we knew that coming into the season. But the DLine play was abysmal and worse than expected. OSU or not you have to generate more QB pressure than that. Really bad. I’m hopeful some things click and the DLine is able to dial it...

    All Things Gophers at Colorado Road Trip Thread

    Lived in Louisville for 2.5 years (right outside Boulder) and in Denver for 4. If you want a casual gameday experience, stay closer than Denver just to make travel easier. But Boulder is not that cool. Life here is crowded, and that includes not just the streets but the major trails like...

    Cashius McNeilly & Emanuel Miller (Texas A&M) both in the portal

    NW (Kellogg), Michigan (Ross), Indiana (Kelley), and WI are the only B1G comparable business schools, and even then I would put Carlson above all but Kellogg and Ross. This is because outside of a top-10 school, there is a lot of economic regionalism that drives student success. MNs economy...

    Which QB Would You Choose?

    Same ranking. The one additional callout I would make is MarQuies Gray was the single most dynamic player I have seen in a Gophers uniform in the last 20+ years, including all skill positions. If he were in consideration, I would drop him in at 4 and drop the others down a notch.

    Jacob Knuth Commits!

    Egad guys - this place can suck, huh? Please try not to resort to snide attacks in your responses. Super uncool and not needed. You were wondering if he could be Leidner 2.0 and said probably not given Leidner’s stats. It read as a statement on both QBs ability. If your post was simply to bring...

    Take it up with the cat who said Jacob was unlikely to be able to reach Leidner levels of play. Will close again the same way I have with every post - welcome aboard Jacob! Think you will be a great addition!

    This is cringe man. I've used my words accurately. I know you don't agree but poor faith to spiral into personal attacks. And I agree 6x6 - run away from here recruits! It's not even a pleasant place to be as a fan - can't imagine it's a nice experience for a player. Again - welcome aboard...

    I can't follow your thought process mate. It genuinely doesn't make sense. For me, Mitch was not a good QB and should not be remembered as one. RememberMurr brought up Leidner in an early post and said Knuth was unlikely to be able to play at the same level. I disagree. Again - welcome aboard...

    C'mon dawg is everything just pulling teeth here? Super unpleasant. Hyperbole does not = false/wrong. Again - welcome aboard Jacob! Excited for your addition to the team!

    Jacob Knuth Commits!

    You did dude. It's not useful to get caught up in paraphrasing and "deify" was hyperbole even if accurate. A cleaner summary is that you believe Leidner was a good QB based off his career stats, and that it is unlikely a recent commit could achieve the same level of play. Others believe he was...

    Jacob Knuth Commits!

    The Leidner conversation should not occur. It started here when someone wished that Knuth could play at a Leidner level, but said this was unlikely because of Leidner's high level of skill. The Leidner arguments will die completely when he is no longer deified for his sub-mediocre tenure. It is...

    Some wins are more impressive than others. B1G wins are usually more impressive than non-con. Within the B1G, beating some teams is more impressive than beating others. Rushing or passing TDs are great! But it does matter if those are a function of execution or just a function of brute force...

    Jacob Knuth Commits!

    Those stats are tied to directly to how many starts a QB receives. I don’t think they are the best stats by which to judge performance because someone like Mitch, who played forever, will likely have great numbers relative to those who played less. Even if they were not a good player. However...

    If they start for the same period of time, that’s absolutely fair. But they won’t because our current QB room is strong. You’re too focused on career stats including non-P5 programs. Taken in context, the numbers you are championing are not impressive. Again - welcome aboard Jacob!

    I think he can be better, but if he’s not, he shouldn’t play. Mitch should not have been playing either. Again - welcome aboard Jacob! Think you will be a great addition to the squad!

    Unclear what is unpacked here. Leidner does have a lot of stats. He played forever due to a weak room. He is slow and his running produced poor results. Running for more yards than other QBs would be impressive if his YPC were greater. He was a poor passer. There was nothing about Leidner’s...

    Leidner’s stats against B1G/Power 5 were terrible. Dude moved like molasses - ran a 4.93 40. His stats are so prolific because Kill/Claeys completely bungled QB recruiting and we had nobody else for 4 years. They also ran him constantly for little success. Wobble duck thrower. I hope Knuth can...
