    SI: Predicting every B1G wins/losses 2024

    It's not just can Brosmer succeed, it is also the ruTm mentality that makes it feel like we're running the single wing as we try to make every drive (90 yards or 20 yards) last 10 minutes in an effort to lull our opponents to sleep. Will we have a competent OC performance this year is the...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    They do, the press just doesn't care enough about them to report it.

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    Reacting to Fleck's assurance it's no big deal is very different than actually thinking DT will be out for the year. I don't expect Fleck to be transparent on injuries at all, as most coaches aren't. I do think he needs to rethink how he uses players coming off injury, particularly at RB, but...

    Darius Taylor and Daniel Jackson dealing with injuries.

    Don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing serious with Taylor. Like Lindenberg last year. Good news is, when Taylor finally is ready, Fleck will give him 37 carries in his first game to help ease him into the flow of things and we'll lose him for another 4 games. Not that he would ever do that (Again I...

    B1G Blood Bath in 2024?

    For some reason Rutgers got the B1G West Schedule Special this season. We'll see if Schiano can do anything with it, or just shit the bed like the rest of the B1G West did the last few years.

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck is a much better coach than Tim Brewster, but when it comes to gibberish ...

    "One of these kids is not like the others, once of these kids just doesn't belong...." Fleck has been more of the same as Mason and Kill (not Brewster). He's had more success in terms of wins and losses but has had more resources to work with and a very favorable schedule for most of his time...

    2 ideas to improve Gopher football - need feedback

    I have the app, too. I can find the stuff we put ou because I look for it. It's not hard to make it easier to find it and to actually take pride and make an effort to promote the team. Top tier programs do this regularly. If you want to see how easy it is, buy tickets to a Kansas Basketball...

    What Big Ten’s Bill Carollo would do same, differently on infamous invalid fair catch call in Iowa-Minnesota game

    Lost in the Corn Chickens pain and suffering is that while the right call was made, we can't put that decision into the hands of the officials. The lack of discipline and execution on special teams last year was an embarrassment. We're lucky the refa made the right call. We don't always get...

    2 ideas to improve Gopher football - need feedback

    As for the articles, send them all you want, but the press likely won't publish them. in 2024 this does not matter. Our Athletic Department has been slow and unimaginative since before I was a student at the U in the late 80s, but think about how much easier it is today to share information...

    CBS predicts Gophers will go 5-7 (wins: North Carolina, Rhode Island, Nevada, Iowa, Maryland)

    schedule last year was harder than this year? Interesting take. We could win 12 games, I don't see fewer than 3 wins. We'll end up somewhere in between. Looking at the trend, we'll lose to a team we shouldn't, and will have a better showing than expected against at least one of the top 3 teams...

    Early Big Ten Tier List

    IF nothing else, we'll have lots of fodder for discussing last year depending on how AK does this year.

    Early Big Ten Tier List

    The fighting PJ Flecks had the Rutgers schedule in 19, 21 and 22 and it didn't work out. The Gopher's schedule this year is tougher than last year. Could they be 9-3? Yes. Is it likely based on what we know now? No. Based on: 1 ) turnover on Defensive coordinator with an underwhelming resume...

    Your thoughts on the new Gophers uniforms?

    Still have PJ's personal branding on them, which I'm still not a fan of. But it's less of it. (note on the undershirts, I don't care about it. On the Helmets and uniforms, no place for a coaches personal brand. Very little of the backs have been shown, but like the Minnesota state addition on...

    STrib: Gophers chase their NIL version of FedEx's $25 million gift to Memphis

    Kill on Fleck: Coach has done a good job. There’s no doubt about that. MN has won. My personal feelings—one way or another—coach has done a good job.

    While I'm not surprised by MN sportswriters continuing to go back to this well, why is anyone still asking Kill about his opinion of the Gophers? I think that ship has sailed, docked, sailed on again. Docked, sailed on again.....

    U regents approve Fleck’s updated contract after extended discussion

    You have zero idea of what anyone on this board know or doesn't know. But your confidence is amazing. Go strong buddy. Why anyone would make that up? It got Fleck and extension after a shit show of a season. Yeah. Michigan was interested, too, right?

    U regents approve Fleck’s updated contract after extended discussion

    you need an athletic director who understands the market and the difference between a schools interest and a coaches agent working overtime to link his client to every major college opening coming after a disaster of a season that was driven by injuries and a rigid unwillingness to "change his...
