    Gophers open as -2 point favorites @ Illinois

    Coaches are sometimes rather strangely closed mouthed, sometimes superstitious, possibly a bit paranoid creatures of habit. Yet, we seem to love ‘em, forgive ‘em and once they are gone forget ‘em. In the end the team has to just line up and play the damn game. Beat the stinking Illini, Gopher!

    Northwestern plans to tear down Ryan Field, build an $800M replacement

    The conference makes it’s money by selling TV rights any way. Perhaps sales of tickets, concessions and parking revenue aren’t measuring up to profits and revenue sharing from selling tv rights…I think we all know that. Beautiful and comfortable 50,000 or even 35,000 seat television production...

    Northwestern plans to tear down Ryan Field, build an $800M replacement

    Always have loved the road trip to Evanston as well. They are very wise to bring a revenue producing stadium to their campus. It will be a jewel and the newest monument to the geographical center of the Big Ten Conference: Chicago. With the California additions to the conference, this will...

    This offense is good enough to have a name. What should it be?

    The defender dilemma option offense. The: “…take what they give executioner zone…” offense!

    “…better to be seen, even if not heard…” only 4 games into what has been a soft schedule to date. “Mission accomplished so far…” 3-0 ooc and 1-0 in Big Ten play. Beat the stinking Boiler, Gopher. Great seasons are built one win at a time!

    Tanner Morgan has never looked like this.

    The offensive line play was an effort of skill, strength, style, great coaching/planning and unity. This game did showcase the offense, defense and every aspect of the special teams with the exception of the punt game…only because they did not punt. It was a tribute to their coach and the...

    RandBall: With Gophers football, try this: Embrace your hopes, not your fears

    I just feel really good about this Gopher team. A little angst is part of the anticipation of going to play a good team on the road…or at home against these Big Ten teams that Gopher fans love to fear, hate, dread to face and wonder if the team can compete with. This Gopher team has a chance...

    The headline in the Sunday paper will read?...

    Galloping Gopher ground game got going. Won one from the east in Lansing… The U the best in the West… just maybe?

    Reusse: Soft schedule? Too much hot air? Regardless, it's time to endorse P.J. Fleck and 2022 Gophers; "I'm buying P.J. Fleck."

    But, maybe the Gopher beats the Spartan this time. That’s why they play the games. I was in East Lansing for the last game the Gopher won there. The team that runs the ball the best on Saturday is my pick to win the game. Run the ball, run the clock and take what the Spartan will give you...

    Will the Gophers crack the Top 25 this week?

    Get a Big Ten win…then we’ll see about this “top 25…” stuff.

    Will the Gophers crack the Top 25 this week?

    Too early to worry about that right now…

    Week 3 Other Games Thread

    Saturday, the 24th of September in East Lansing will tell us how the Gopher will fare against the Spartan. I love how the Gopher is playing! I’d guess the team that runs the ball the best next Saturday will win the game.

    PJ Targeting Ciarrocca for Return as OC?

    Complete with some people being po’d because he left and doesn’t appear to be seriously in love with us here in Minnesota and when some one does that to some of us Minnesotans’ some of us will hold a grudge against him forever. So maybe, if Fleck gives him the oc job, it will be 2021 revisited...

    Agree completely. “Got to answer the phone and listen to be woke, aware and informed…” Then, you are in charge of your path and direction and can make good choices.

    If the Gophers had beat Illinois and Bowling Green...

    The BG loss was the stunner that showed just how EFFECTIVE our head coach & his assistant coaches are. That loss sent this Gopher team on a mission and they won four BT games in succession. And, other than in the haphazardly constructed unscientific polls,really didn’t hurt the BT outcome for...

    No, it won’t right now. Our young, very promising, upward trending & mobile coach is working his way into a position to continue to be mentioned during crazy college inflationary times such as the end of the 2021 season though! Even now, as he closes each interview with an incredibly fast, yet...
