Running tons of Mo vs. Syracuse rather than letting the Greek throw the ball and put on a clinic for WR recruits to see IS playing not to lose.

My guess is that we will get a bunch of Mo to make 100% certain that we win the game. By the time that they let the Greek throw the ball, most fans will have tuned out is my bet. That is the problem with playing Syracuse - we MUST WIN - that will be the priority. Player development and trying...

My $0.02 - bad team to play because it is from the wrong conference. I don't think beating Syracuse moves the needle in terms of recruiting or national attention. If we lose, it is pretty catastrophic actually given the team/conference. I don't see the Gophers drawing a bunch of Upstate NY...

The ability to actually pass will keep the pass rush honest as well as open things up for the run game - vs. what we had to do this year and last. I don't know if our issue this year was talent, coaching, scheming, etc - but, today looked like a completely different team. Given WI playing the...

He played really, really great. Didn't force anything too and ball security is job #1. I don't think Morgan wins this game, especially after WI started rolling in the 3rd. I am so used to the 4th Q meltdown that I still can't believe we actually won. For the first time in recent memory, we...

Outside of a few big plays to start games (I think 2019 Penn State) or end them (2019 Auburn TE pass), I can't really think of anything truly creative we have done on offense. As I wrote in other posts - his is more of a philosophy of doing what everyone is doing but execute it better. When we...

Sorry, I may have been unclear. I don't think the spread is the elixir - especially after it has been around for years. Just like now implementing RPO is not the same as if you were the first time to implement it. My comment is that Brewster thought this was a solution - but our offense was...

Mason was out after he openly flirted with OSU - even Minnesota has enough pride to not accept that. The meltdown vs. TT sealed the deal but the reality was that Mason was NEVER given the tools that PJ was given. Also, and this is huge in my opinion - because of Mason, Minnesota was getting...

I was pretty active on the board at this time and I remember the hope that we could land his kid to play here - but, he didn't get that to happen. But, I don't think anyone had him on any list or even knew the guy was interviewing. From what I recollect, he sold himself in the 1:1 interview...

OSU beats Michigan in The Game advances to B1G conference championship vs. Iowa....in other news, the Gophers played but no one at the paper cared enough to record the opponent or score.

Your analysis lacks all context. 1.) Fleck walked into a situation with a new stadium, new facilities, and a supportive AD including money for his staff. 2.) The prior coach was not fired due to the performance of the team on the field - the immediate year prior, they went 9-4 3.) When Fleck...

I am definitely not a big Fleck fan. For me, I don't get the rah-rah boat garbage and people promising to win based on recruiting. That said, Fleck has turned in good performance vs. our recent historical standards so something is working. I would prefer we develop an identity like we had...

I couldn't agree with you more - and it is only going to get more cut throat with USC joining the conference. Watching the post game interviews of some Alabama games really made me question how these kids could possibly be passing classes - then the NC scandal hit and it all made sense. With...

On the plus side, we don't have to worry about PJ leaving for another job...

I agree with you wholeheartedly. If they were going to get it done, this was the year given the Iowa and WI situations and a favorable schedule. Also, we will have an inexperienced QB against starting next year so that will means 2-3 years of growth before they perform at a high level and by...

I think the window just closed with the loss today for Minnesota to ever go to the Rose Bowl in my lifetime - I am 46 and plan to live into my 90's. I thought we would have a chance if we could win the West but I think this was the last year that will be possible. I don't know what the future...

Tanner Leidner is what he is. How these guys can play this many years and never improve is very frustrating.

My guess is that they would be ranked somewhere between 13-18 if there were in the SEC. The bias is terrible and yes, it DOES MATTER.

Anyone that doesn't put Michigan in their top 3 has not met enough Michigan grads/fans.

In 2008, Obama opposed gay marriage and CA votes explicitly to ban it. I think it is shocking how much has changed in the 8 years I have lived overseas. Not saying it is a good or bad thing - but the change is shockingly fast.
