Shhh ... this is a secret; I don't want him to know.

I've been wondering how we got here. You would think the sweet 2019 season would've jump-started recruiting. I looked at the two classes that followed 2019 -- first, because they should've been really nice classes and second, because many or most should be contributing by now. They're basically...

SOME people here talk about that. Not many.

Fleck whiffing on almost every portal player he brought in this year is a big part of the problem.

Halftime in Evanston and Purdue is scoreless.

Plenty? No. Fleck's first season and half were bad, but aside from that we haven't been humiliated going back to 2013. I can handle a down season. I just wish we knew if it'll be better next year.

Nope. You get 80 players ... or 75 or whatever the number is. That's the limit.

We played like ass in those games because we're not good this year. Full stop. That's why we're having these conversations. People keep saying we're missing out on a chance to win a bad West Division, but we're part of the bad. We're not one or two plays away; this is how bad teams lose games...

I'm gonna guess that Unregistered User wants you to Google that.

To recap, not having a Gopher logo on his Twitter page is a red flag, but it also doesn't mean anything.

I wouldn't call Leidner a particularly good runner. He was fine, but extremely tough. The difference is that the coaching staff made that part of the game plan. At the very least, the defense had to account for him.

That's all games. We've only played Ohio State 54 times. We've played Nebraska 64 times. Even though we're in the same conference, I think schools used to create their own schedules way back when.

I don't know the answer, but McDonald only entered the Michigan game after Jack Henderson got hurt. With Henderson back for Iowa, it's possible they went back to the normal rotation.

These "secret" scrimmages aren't very secret. They're reported every year, often with box scores. Maybe we'll get that for this one eventually. I don't care what the matchups were or who played more. We lost by 37 to Colorado State. There's no sugarcoating that. I hope they get better.

I guess this is one way to spin it. Let's go with this!

I'm only guessing, but my sense is that Athan (and Morgan before him) is not running the read option -- they know who's getting the ball before the play starts. It seemed obvious that run in the second half was called for him. Iowa must have stolen our signals and was ready for it.

It's not clear to me how these teams were picked for this group. They include us along with Indiana, Cal, Boston College, among others. In terms of "wheel of mediocrity," our wheels are on a much better car than theirs; we don't belong with them. Or are they saying these are programs who are...

But he MUST have someone on the tight ends at all times. Double-team the tight ends. Have Nubin spy a tight end on every play. (Sarcasm ... sort of.) The Iowa tight ends kill us every year, and they're the only players who catch passes for Iowa this year.

I'm not sure about this. I have no data to back this up, but I feel like we get a higher percentage of kids from outstate Minnesota that we want than those in the metro area. And I think it's because many outstate kids can come to the Twin Cities and feel like they're getting away from home and...

I listened to the podcast, too, and when they talked about "developmental," they were basically saying "we expected a step back because we lost talent." We hope "developmental" means there are young and/or inexperienced players who are talented but still learning -- meaning they'll be better...
