    Chip: P.J. Fleck should be thankful every single day that he coaches in the Big Ten West while he still has that life preserver.

    This all changes next year. Adding Oregon, USC, Washington and UCLA might be a great addition for the money, but every one of the Big Ten West teams got hurt bigtime from this. In fact, from a football standpoint, it would be tough to argue that the Gophers didn't get hurt more than anyone else...

    3 takeaways from Minnesota's bounce-back win over Louisiana

    Perhaps, especially if they are coming in here in late November in a 25 degree temp with 20 mph winds and sleet. But think about it -- if a certain offense is more successful - they could absolutely dominate the scene and revolutionize the league. Oregon or USC for example could come in and blow...

    3 takeaways from Minnesota's bounce-back win over Louisiana

    I wonder if the addition of USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington will change what teams have to do to be successful. They may force teams to throw more as they bring an open game with a lot more passing. I watched some of these games yesterday and I thought, "The Gophers aren't even close to this...

    ***OFFICIAL LOUISIANA AT MINNESOTA HOMECOMING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Redding has made 2 pretty big gaffes in 2 weeks. If all he does is fair catch everything, then why is he even in there? You can get pretty much anyone to do that!!

    ***OFFICIAL LOUISIANA AT MINNESOTA HOMECOMING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    not sure why they have deteriorated so bad the last few weeks. This is not good - we def need to make some tweaks and adjustments.

    I hear you -- it was a strange year, that's for sure!

    Bouncing Back

    It was a brutal week last week for the Gophers and many people were upset at the end, including me. There was some venting by many of us and it was not too fun around here the last few days. Some even said, "Well there goes the season," but that is NOT the attitude to take here. Somehow...

    Fleck has lost his hunger/edge

    Actually the Gopher played a similar game to this vs. Maryland in the covid year and lost in OT 45-44. This game reminded me of that one. But yeah -- this one felt like a Mason-type game that's for sure!!

    What grade would you give the Gophers coaching in the embarrassing loss to Northwestern?

    F all the way. PJ and his staff looked like a bunch of bad high school coaches and blew what should have been one of the easiest games on the schedule. The meltdown included both an offensive and defensive collapse against a very bad team that won't win more than 4 games this year. This game...

    This is an absolute disaster - just speechless but this one's on the coaching staff.

    Arrivals of West Coast schools could cause Big Ten to depart from its traditional smashmouth style

    The Gophers have become a very good cold weather and elements team and that can be a great equalizer especially later in the year. Teams can still come in and win with superior talent, but they need to be able to adapt to cold or windy conditions that they may not be very used to. There are some...

    Buffs - Coach Prime

    The Colorado-Nebraska game will be very interesting to watch and I am looking forward to it. I think Colorado comes in overconfident and everyone has told them how great they are all week. Can they continue to ride this wave or does reality set in and they come crashing down?? I think Nebraska...

    One of the Overlooked Benefits of Last Night's Win

    Geez -- that sucked. Watching Tanner Morgan running around frantically trying to get a play off while the clock bled to zero was excruciating to watch. That's not good football. I especially liked it when the Gophers went with a hurry up play even though it wasn't a huge success. They just might...

    SI: 5 things that stood out in the Gophers' thrilling win over Nebraska

    Our defense looked very good and it is fun to watch this unit really thrive and take over a game when we needed them. Nubin and Walley made big plays when we needed them and it was nice to see the defensive line give some pressure and some sacks. - Our offense needs to get better, especially in...

    Nebraska Week 1 Simulation

    You are right -- for some reason I thought they played Colorado before our game. Well -- that's a plus anyways!!

    Shooter: Although Brian Dutcher is loyal to SDSU, the Gophers would be expected to consider him coaching change, which seems likely, after this year

    The Gophers should have signed Dutcher 2-3 coaching searches ago, if they could. They didn't. I think the basketball team is getting better talent-wise and I think the team will improve this year. As long as the team is getting better, I think we should stay the course and try to build around...

    Nebraska Week 1 Simulation

    If you simulated this game 10 times, you would get 10 different results. I am looking forward to a good game vs, the Huskers but I hate playing a conference team that has already played one game before we get to play a tune up game. Anyone who thinks this will be an easy game is mistaken, but...

    ***OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT WEEKEND THREAD - HOW MANY GOPHERS WILL GET DRAFTED!!!***

    I made a bet a month ago with a co-worker that Mo Ibrahim would get drafted -- he said he wouldn't get drafted at all and be a free agent. I think I am going to win this one. Just a small bet but I will be happy when he gets drafted by someone today. A little "football guru prestige" is also on...

    the buffaloes are stampeding

    It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The talent upgrade should help immediately, but your team needs time to develop and work together, especially the linemen. You could also see hard feelings if his son struggles much the same as the little league coach who wants his son to bat...
