    Want to learn?

    While those are two very good points, you'd think a coach make $6mm+ in the B1G would have enough faith in his team to run that simple concept against a team that had a good dline and not much else on D that was stacking the box and not wait until a game against an FCS team where we absolutely...

    Minnesota's P.J. Fleck still tinkering with offensive line before Big Ten schedule begins

    Playing against 5 back-up or third string QBs helped, too.

    How many good teams are there in college football?

    I used to think top half of the conference in years past were good. With 18 teams in the B1G, a winning record makes as much sense as anything else. It's also subjective. There are years where teams in the B1G were one Elite (top 5) and one contender (top 15) and then some good teams, but teams...

    Pitt Ad Fired !!

    if Gabel fired the AD because of over spending, hiring someone with a track record of making nearly zero progress in retiring debt seems like an odd choice. Personally I hope she does hire him. The best thing that can be said about the Mark Coyle era is that he hasn't sent any lewd texts to...

    Pitt Ad Fired !!

    If she was in Gable's office telling her she doesn't want to be anywhere other than Pitt but is halfway out the door and the news leaks, I get that she might be miffed. Gable may have been very upfront with previous employers if contacted by another school. Or she took a page from Coyle and...

    Pitt Ad Fired !!

    As said earlier, if we're lucky. That said, how would hiring someone who seems to have made very little progress in paying off our Athletes Village help her with an even bigger financial challenge? Just curious. Particularly given how much harder the NIL and paying players is making it on...

    Tony Liebert: Greg Harbaugh Jr. and Minnesota's offense has heard the noise and they're opening things up a little bit.

    There has been articles in the Star and Cycle and the PeePee about the lack of creativity in Fleck's offense. I for one am glad they at least worked on it. Now maybe they'll use the running game and the short passing game to create opportunities to take advantage of defenses stacking the box...

    Mar’Keise Irving enters the transfer portal

    A fair number of the Flecktites believe PJ invented football, so.....don't congratulate yourself too hard.

    Week 2 Big Ten Power Rankings Thread

    Hard to take a "hot take" from someone who apparently thinks that: Oregon, Indiana, Northwestern, Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan State and Wisconsin will only play 10 games this year Washington, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Iowa, Purdue, Maryland and Minnesota only play 11 games this year...

    POLL: Will the Gophers pull an upset this year in the Big Ten?

    Not just Brosmer. Even in Saturdays game there were issues (exhibit A; The O line). We still don't know much about were we fit in. The next couple of weeks we should start to have a better idea of where we are relative to others. We have Iowa at home so that may give us the slight edge. How we...

    Congratulations to NIU & HC Thomas Hammock

    No. We all would applaud not turtling before the kick-off against a top 5 ranked team and celebrated the win.

    P.J. Fleck on struggling offense: 'This isn't backyard football'

    That wasn't a backyard football offense, but we did actually work on the forward pass today. It won't be anywhere near this easy again this year, but we know we can actually execute a pass play. As long as the sun comes up again tomorrow, here's hoping the coaching staff decides to make it a...

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Crush Rhode Island

    Today wasn't about running the ball, I was shocked we had the opportunity to work on the pass and did. After today's game, i'm starting to doubt that Peej isn't influenced by Gopherhole. We got a lot of what we wanted today. Lots to be happy about but that was not a very good football team we...

    They fixed the audio after awhile, but most of the first half was trash. We have it for EPL or I probably wouldn't spend on it.

    What grade do you give Gophers coaches in win over Rhode Island?

    Glad to see they finally took advantage of an inferior opponent to work on the passing game. Got everything out of this game you could hope for, including actually giving some time to backups and nobody got hurt.

    P.J. Fleck's Week 2 message to Gophers: 'Be a goldfish'

    Media blows it out? It's a video of him saying it.

    P.J. Fleck's Week 2 message to Gophers: 'Be a goldfish'

    He can reach out to his players any way he wants. Doesn't mean it's not annoying. It only matters if it works with the team and it allows him to get them where he wants them.
