    Monday night football - Scary

    Science is questioning. When and why did people get so sensitive to questioning. It is a positively strange phenomena. Good science stands up to questioning. Bad science hates questions and forbids it. Whatever the case, everyone should be speculating about everything, if not you are just...

    That is the problem with today: Everyone focused on looking good and few doing good.

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    A few thoughts: Nothing against Ben Johnson, I hope he does a phenomenal job. I also congratulate him on getting the job. From a UofM perspective, hiring Ben was extremely risky. The UofM took a chance on Pitino, who had limited equivalent experience. Ultimately, they terminated the...

    Hot take: We're just fine, PJ is doing fine.

    Also, he seems to care about the kids and seems like he is probably good to them and if that is the case, he deserves bonus props as there are a lot of "successful" clowns.

    Hot take: We're just fine, PJ is doing fine.

    Huh? compared to his peers in the Big10, Fleck is modestly under performing. Of course they could find a better coach and of course they could find a worse one. Pj could be my son, brother, or dad and I would say the same thing. The truth is in the results. There is no need to be silly either...

    What grade do you give Ben Johnson for his first year?

    When you remove all the noise, there is only one way to rate the success this year, how did you finish against your peers in the conference and by that metric, it was not a good year since we finished last. Every coach deals with injuries, graduating players, transferring players, personal...

    Shama: What uw has achieved in basketball during the last 20-plus years is remarkable; what U coaches and administrators have done is embarrassing

    Said in a more positive manner, we're far better at being worse! Or, They have gotten lucky. Or, they get all the calls! Or, it just proves we don't cheat! Or, wait until MN wins, it will be that much more enjoyable! Go gophers!

    Ky Thomas enters portal

    Irving should watch some Barry Sanders tape. He has a lot of that Barry Sander's shiftiness and can do a ton of damage with a little opportunity.

    Mike Sanford hired as OC @ Colorado (who apparently have no idea what they are doing)

    Let's just wish the guy well, he tried his best here and it didn't work out. No one is lifted up by pushing someone else down.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN IN-GAME THREAD TWAS NIGHT BEFORE XMAS THEME!!!***

    Great win. The team plays smart and composed on both sides of the court. Undoubtedly one of the smartest playing Gopher teams in quite some time so far this year.

    SERIOUSLY????

    It is nearly impossible to know if a coach is a assisted or impeded by the prior regime, their program or their players. The most honest way to appraise a coach is with contextual wins and losses. That stated, I specifically said "give the PLAYERS and coaches credit". It should also be stated...

    SERIOUSLY????

    Give credit where credit is do, you technically cannot start any better. The team is playing with great composure and is playing like a team. Good coaching starts with recognizing what you have. Right now, we are playing to our strengths. There are some tough games ahead, but give the players...

    Mike Sanford Fired

    I am not big in cheering someone being fired, but clearly there were some things not right with the offense this year. Hopefully Sanford has an opportunity to grow from his work at the UofM. As an outsider it is tough to truly know what's going on, we can diagnose that a problem exists, but...

    Great game, our offense gave up more points than the defense...amazing. Great all around effort.

    Shama on U WRs: That has to be considered a recruiting failure and it’s uncertain how the receiver roster gets fixed in the offseason.

    From what I have seen, Fleck seems like he cares about these kids, so he deserves props for that if so. At most, they will be playing football for about 10 more years, so there are other pretty important messages too.

    Shama on U WRs: That has to be considered a recruiting failure and it’s uncertain how the receiver roster gets fixed in the offseason.

    That's pretty funny. Honestly, when we complete a pass this year it feels like quite an accomplishment, because you just don't expect it. Perhaps some more quick hit slants that are consistent with the QB's strengths are in order. Simple math would tell you if you have smaller targets you have...

    So far I am totally wrong...

    Seems like a fair assessment so far.
