With this win, PJ has ensured he will have a contract here thru 2030 if he wants it. In the long run, I don't think that is good for Gopher football. Glad to see we finally got a win and finally got the refs help for a change.

Someone needs to explain to them the meaning of the word litany.

USC is 3-1 not 2-2. They ending up rolling UW 38-21. Also, they beat #13 LSU and lost to Michigan in the final seconds. All that said, I hope they underestimate us and we get the W. From their Michigan game, they allowed 290 yards rushing and only 32 passing (because Michigan has RB playing...

I don't know how accurate this site is: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/colleges/_/sort/players but, with 18 active on NFL rosters, that puts us at #36 overall. Not a perfect science, but I would assume if you want to be an AP top 25 team, you should be producing talent that will put you in the...

Literally everything wrong with college and college sports today - forcing a product on consumers that they have no willingness to purchase otherwise. Applies equally to women's sports (in a day and age where our Supreme Court nominees cannot even define a woman) as it does to 3rd World...

USC will be the first game against team with an actual offense. If the D steps up, we have a chance. If they don't, we are going to get our brakes beat off because we are losing games now to QBs putting under double-digit passing yards. If USC goes for 250-300, I hate to see what the score...

I am a decade older and feel the same way. Prior to NIL and the transfer portal, there was always the chance we could have a developed a super star at QB or something that could make for a magical 2-3 year run. Now, if we were able to develop that guy - they will leave for more exposure and...

Iowa's D on Saturday was mainly the result of development. However, I suspect you are correct that this will probably be one of the last examples as this model will not survive in the new era.

Weber is far, far superior to Brosmer. Hell, I would go out on a limb and say Weber at 37 years old and decade out of the game and he would still beat out Brosmer today. Sorry, but in my time as a Gopher fan, Weber is the best QB we have ever had and that includes Cupito - and this is with...

That is expected. What will lose the fans is that Fleck will come into the game with the only plan being to keep MI under 30 points to make the loss more acceptable. We should be way, way this stage of team development now.

Here is where he ranked 3 years ago - right in the middle of the pack at $5M. This year, he is on pace to make ~$3M/win. https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/pay-grade-rating-big-ten-football-coaching-salaries/

I gave them a D based on the 1st half. Do you think we could convince Iowa to cut Floyd in half?

What more does the Admin need to do to support Gopher Football? They built an on-campus stadium, they paid Fleck a more than competitive salary, they paid his assistants competitive salaries, they built an "Athletes Village", they built him the "Larson Football Performance Center and Indoor...

AK is 3-0 and just put up 270 yards on VaTech. I think he did benefit from the in-game experience, even if we did not.

We are 2-2 and already blow out loss vs. Iowa. At what point do we start to think about next year and get some QB in-game experience? The Brosmer gamble didn't pay off - very clear at this point.

On the bright side, we will move up the ranking in pass defense! Run D....no so much.

That 'fiasco' saved the school's image. If Iowa had won and had an 11-2 record going into their bowl game they would have faced an actual top team....#17 Tennessee beat their brakes off 35-0, I can only imagine how badly they would have been destroyed playing a higher ranked team.

Being ranked #63 is embarrassing this deep into Fleck's tenure. My expectation is for Minnesota to crack the top 25 but AT A MINIMUM be in the 'other receiving votes' list. Per this latest ranking, we lost to the #37 team and beat the #90 team - Rhode Island does not even get ranked as FCS...

I hate that we have returned to a state where the coaches don't believe that they can compete with OSU and MI and just gameplan to try to not get blown out. As much hate as Mason receives - I always thought he played to win and there was always a chance, albeit slim, that we would be able to...

Frankly, I know there is a zero percent chance that Fleck will be fired this season regardless of what happens due to a weak AD and the lack of buy-out money. That said, no coach goes into the season on the final year of his deal – it is always a rolling extension a few years out. This ensure...
