Actually after 7 season of PJ Fleck football, I think he's proven he does just that. I'm waiting for him to drop the old Woody Hayes comment - Three things happen when you pass, and two of them are bad.

Sloganeer?

Not with PJ Fleck standing on Harbaugh's throat and preventing any chance of the offense to actually try to win the game. Kesich is a good kicker who had a bad night. If he hits on two field goals that should have been TDs, they still win this game. He will hit those field goals more often than...

The last play before the FG attempt at the end of the game was one of the dumbest calls I've ever seen. All NC had to do was prop up Major and push him forward and towards the sideline and let time expire. That would have been a more fitting end than Kesich's miss. The issue would have been...

The problem may be your perception of his stature.

62.5% completion rate. 3 TDs no ints in a 44 - 7 win over an inferior opponent. AK looked a little rough at the start but made some nice plays as the game went on. A nice ice breaker, but we'll see what happens when they play a team a chance at making some noise.

So..... Two passes no where near recievers Penalty on special teams Give up an 3rd down conversion Time out two minutes into the game. Has the game started, or is this the highlight reel from 2023?

We don't have to be pass first in order to be successful. Washington State had the #4 passing attack and ended the year.....5-7. Chip, is, well, Chip. We do have to be able to pass the ball to complement the run first approach eight years in. We should be able to both run the ball more...

I don't disagree, but....... You have to pass. A really effective running game should open up passing opportunities. Fleck runs a conservative version of what both Mason and Kill ran offensively. Both Mason and Kill were able to use the run to set up incredibly effective passing games (and...

Desmond suggested that the reason the Gophers struggled last year was because Cole Kramer got hurt, so AK had to play..... So I don't disagree that in general Des knows his shit, but I think he might have been a bit off on his analysis of Minnesota's 2023 season.

Plenty of tickets still available online, but the Box Office should know the typical walk up for the games, particularly this one.

agree. Any QB slotted into our offense is going to be downgraded because of Fleck's heavy run focus. Pre-season is based on expectations and predictions. Show me this list at the end of the year and then let's argue about wether it's correct or not.

Fleck's "offense" is very similar to what Mason and Kill tried to run in concept. As you note: ball control, manage the clock, don't ask too much of the defense. My problem with that is that we seem to be on in competition with Iowa to see who can have the most boring offense on in the FBS...

Raise your expectations. Coyle sucks. Maturi did, too. As ADs both are terrible.

Continuity? You mean like with the coaching staff?

so what, twice a year (Christmas and Easter?)

Mason did that to himself - and not on the field. That was bad enough, but he might have have survived that without the unhinged rant about the local press. I agree Macturi was a the equivalent of Mediocrates as an AD overall, but man he supported the hell out of the women's rowing program...

I disagree. A competent manager understands the focus required to do this well and unimpeded by the politics of his position. If a competent AD needs to hand hold the board of regents because of their inability to understand anything as it relates to the university (or so it seems to someone...

Yeah, let's start with a competent AD, then go from there.

My deepest apologies for not seeing that before responding.
