    PSA Kill isn’t coming back (informative poll)

    Watching Gopher football during the Kill/Leidner era was torture. Brewster was a bad hire, Kill was a bad hire, jury is out on Fleck but has had more positive moments than either of the previous hires.

    How NIL can and will change things.

    I can understand the effort to compensate players, but NIL in current state is a problem. Less for the scenario listed, and more because a decade from now, the top 25 school NIL pools will more-or-less mirror the top 25 rankings. Way less fun.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BOUNCE-BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Devito 9/10 for 100 yds and a TD with no QB hits or pressure at all. Do we have talent at DE?

    Gopher targets in the portal

    I am wondering if Isiah Gibson from KY will be a DL target. Gophs were on him out of HS and Rossi was his primary recruiter. No information here I just saw his name come up a while back and thought he may be a target if we go DL in the portal:

    Why is 2022 a "tough rebuild year"?

    I hope that finishing with a series of tough games on the road ends up as a non-event, but as a fan of this team over the last several decades, there is no way I can feel comfortable assuming Gopher road wins over the likes of MSU, PSU, WI, etc. But agree the team has the talent to be as...

    Why is 2022 a "tough rebuild year"?

    The schedule next year seems substantially more daunting. 5 of last seven on the road, including games at Illinois, Neb, MSU, PSU, and WI. Would be thrilled to see the Gophs maintain strong trajectory but given the program’s patterns over the past few decades, I would expect a strong start with...

    The teams Minnesota has beat this year

    This is it. The B1G west is one of the worst conferences in football, and this was a down year for the division even by that standard. There was an opportunity this year that has been missed. A component of that opportunity is beating your rivals, who are also having a down year. We bungled the...

    Who should be QB

    Leidner was a terrible runner. We ran him a lot but he was not good at it. He ran like a 5.0 40 At the combine. Molasses.

    Iowa has not trailed in a game against Minnesota since the fourth quarter in 2016, a span of 245 minutes and 28 seconds

    It is bonkers just how badly the Gophs have gotten their asses absolutely kicked by our main rivals over the last two decades. Just brutal.

    ***Exhibition Gameday Thread - New Look Gophers VS Concordia St.Paul****

    That they do nothing is inaccurate. Whether they should be enforced at games is debatable, but it is not a big deal. If you have a sincere issue with masks, just don't come to the games then man.

    Gopher Current Running Backs Compared

    Bucko in space off the catch is a threat. He can 1-cut a swing pass a way the other two cannot. Still like the other two also. Cant imagine another QB would be as slow as Leidner. And if that is the strategy then the results will be the same - butts kicked every year by Iowa, WI, and any helmet...

    Your BT Rankings Week 5

    Don't agree. He was equivalent or more so in hucksterism as Fleck. His gee whiz charlie brown good ole' Jer shtick was transparent. And then he played an even more boring brand of football, which is bonkers that that is even possible. Still rooted to succeed because Gophers but his likability...

    Strack: It’s Time for Tanner Morgan to Sink or Swim

    For so long, the identity of the program has tried to be running the football, and we called plays accordingly. It is completely intuitive then that defenses would start to bet on the run, and play heavy in the box. The response to that HAS to be passing the football, though our QBs, OL, and...

    Record Comparisons

    The Kill/Claeys/Leidner term was a disaster. Few if any meaningful wins and extremely boring and often sloppy football. PJ is a bit of a ham but at least it comes to him honestly. Kill/Claeys presented as aw shucks Charlie Brown shuffle footed good ole boys that, when shown, were actually petty...

    Respond!

    I am fine losing a random game to a MAC program if we were consistently beating rivals and appearing in championship games. But this program does not do that, and it finds ways to lose games it should win. I don’t know man - I agree that there are still winnable games and other teams also have...

    Week 3 Pick-Em: Minnesota at Colorado

    COs offense also poor. The fact they have a mobile QB is my biggest fear. MN - 23 CO - 16
