That was when the regents felt that college athletics were getting out of hand, and decided to take a stand. It also was when big time professional sports became a thing in the Twin Cities with the Vikings and the Twins (the Lakers left in 1960, but the NBA was not a major sport nationally at...

I'd offer that there are many people who have not quit the program, but have no faith in the current coaching staff and see no reason to believe that Fleck will magically gain a spine, learn how to coach and put substance on the field over his "style." So I will continue to love the Gophers, my...

There is one major difference between the Universtiy of Minneota and the University of Wisconsin and University of Iowa when it comes to football. The administrations at Iowa and Wisconsin believe that the investment in football is integral to the success of the academic institution, whereas...

You're right. I didn't look at the rankings. We're actually 13th, not 15th. Purdue and Northwestern are below us as well. We're getting better already. A little positive thinking and ignoring reality, we're going to win the National Title if not this year, then certainly next.

We're also ranked 8th in the NCAA for yards allowed. I think both of these stats mean about the exact same thing. Also FPI Projected Records: Michigan State: 6-6 Minnesota: 5-7 Wisconsin: 5-7 UCLA: 3-9 How lovely that in year 8 PJ has taken the program to the wuthering heights of, based on...

We stopped using passing game that was working in the 2nd qtr. We stopped blocking the Iowa defensive line We introduced the Olé tackling approach. Clearly we made adjustments. Like his use (abuse) of the word Elite, I just don't think Peej knows what an adjustment is.

Love your optimism. If we win four this will be as good as season as we can get with the chaos that is our current program. in year eight. Injuries, fluke games, etc. happen all the time in College Football so I may be wrong, but outside of UCLA, I really don't even see another win and their...

Brosmer is not the problem, but your comments on the D didn't age well.

He does have a career opportunity in Spain as a matador.

Was just having a little fun. It has been really interesting to watch how some players are working out, others not. Coaches will soon be much better at finding the guys who need a change/chance and guys who are in the portal because "none of their teammates came to their birthday party" or...

Maybe the problem is you THINK you made the proper adjsistments when clearly the "proper" adjustments DID NOT WORK

I have and still believe Fleck was a bad hire. I have and still root for my alma mater and that won't change. College football has been a part of my life from a very young age. Things are very different now, but I still want to watch the "kids" that have chosen to represent my school as a...

Florida State may disagree with this Statement

PJ Fleck is who he is. He's been the same guy for 8 years. He's had more advantages and opportunities in terms of budget, facilities, and the weakest path to getting to the conf title game (until this year) than any coach since Murray Warmath and failed to even get the chance to win the...

Thanks for the thought, but I will be just fine not STFU.

Telling the boys to keep smiling and having fun?

Outcoached, again.

The game sucked. But we live on to play another day.

Because the administration doesn't care about being competitive. They want no issues with the team and love all the feel good stories that PJ manufactures. Wins and losses are not a part of the equation. No scandal, no worries for PJ

And this we shift from "5.5 wins is bull shit" to oh, no, looking at the schedule I see at least 2 wins for a total of 4.
