Looks like we have a nice sized geographic footprint. Wish that it translated into more fans. At least as far as UGA fans are concerned. On second thought not sure what this shows - but it does look good for the Gophers.

I listened to it but was doing something else at the same time - did Hetherman mention anything about guys developing as pass rushers?

My exact thought. I can't figure out why we are such underdogs vs. UCLA (among other games).

I'm an out of state lib (Minnesota native) and will traveling back for the opener and will be at the UCLA game in Pasadena. There are several things that we don;t like, but football is not one of them.

Whatever they are doing is not working (in regards to avoiding injuries before the season freaking even starts).

I'm sure that Fleck has his reasons, but I don't see how releasing your two deeps is a competitive disadvantage. Protect the ball, play solid defense and you will usually be OK.

Injuries Are a part of the deal, but I am sick of having some of our best players getting injured before the season starts.

Our coaches and trainers need to rethink how they do things.

How they can rank a guy who has only been a HC while subbing for a suspended HC and another who has never been a HC is pure folly.

I like how he coaches. Years ago I observed a few UNLV practices when John Robinson was coach. He would ride a golf cart to the practice field and sit in it the entire practice, rarely saying a word. There are clearly different coaching styles, plus these observations were of Fleck and JRob at...

Holy cow, Winfield plays a lot of snaps.

I'm sure that this has been posted on here before, but our passing game really stunk last year. The good thing is that there is pretty much no where to go except up. Go Gophers!

A friend's family had season tix and would frequently invite me to attend with them. Their seats were in Section 5 behind the Gopher bench. The first game they took me to was vs. Indiana in 1973 (I think). Lee Corso was their coach and Quinn Buckner (known more for hoops) started at safety for...

C'mon, he's a Gopher fan. We have a history of things turning out poorly. I was watching the BIG 10 Network today and I think they said that Penn State was very disappointed because they have not won a conference title in 9 years. Well, we are at about 57 years since we tied (3 way) for a...

Sounds like this guy who was DC at the U of South Carolina when I was a student there. When the defense worked, it worked, but when it didn't there were people running free all over the place. If we stay disciplined on offense we will likely break some long ones. Go Gophers...

Guns, gambling, violence...what more could a program want?

Yes they do. But if they consistently run on 1st and 2nd downs the D will eventually load up against the run on those downs and stop the run (ie., putting the O in a 3rd and long). That's why I like to see some passes on 1st down. But again, if its incomplete, you are immediately in 2nd and...

Thanks for the report! Anyone look especially good (any newcomers show up big)?

My question exactly. I know that this will piss some people off but I think that Claeys was damn good and could make adjustments at half time that worked. I also liked that he rotated people in and out to keep fresh(er) bodies in there. Let's hope that the new guy has some tools to work with...

I absolutely love college football. I have some mixed feeling about being able to eject a player who is just trying to make a tackle and gets ejected because of minor/incidental/unintentional contact to the head. Granted, intention is difficult to determine in many cases. I know that the rules...
