I honestly think there is more nuance here than the "bad hire" - "bad coach" narrative. Johnson was hired in large part because he was a MN alum with ties to the HS and AAU Coaches - and he would work cheap. One of the main rationales for hiring Johnson was that he would be able to improve...

the elite teams have either: elite QB's, elite WR's, elite RB's - or some combination of the 3. look at the Smith FR WR for Ohio State. that kid is a level of athlete that MN - up to now - can only dream about. so with the NIL situation improving and revenue-sharing coming in, can MN...

If there were options for + or - grades, I would go with a B-. I agree with a lot of the posters so far. Fleck has raised the floor of the program - but I don't ignore what Kill and Claeys did in bringing the program back from the Brewster mess. 2019 is the pinnacle so far. there have...

the phrase used by the owners was, I believe, "competitive rebuild." meaning - overhaul the roster while remaining in contention for the playoffs - i.e. do not tear it down and start from scratch. from that perspective, I think Kwesi & Co. have done a decent job. Like any team, there are...

interesting note from The Athletic: how teams fared the week after playing the Lions this season: Teams are 6-10 with a minus-108 point differential in their next game after playing the Lions this season. Three of the six wins were against New England, another was against Chicago and another...

WHOA! big freaking news today in the streaming TV realm. Fubo merging with Hulu+Live TV. In a surprising deal announced on Monday, Disney is set to combine its Hulu Live TV business with Fubo, the live TV streaming service known for its extensive sports coverage. Under the terms of the...

I am also a B- (if + & - were options). In order for this program to "move to the next level" - which was the stated goal when Fleck was hired - they cannot lose games like North Carolina and Rutgers. win those two games, and we're talking about a 9-3 regular season and 10-3 overall record...

saw this in a tweet from @OptaStats The Vikings tonight: 4 times reaching red zone but not scoring a TD 3 times having goal-to-go but not scoring a TD 2 failed 4th-and-goal attempts 1 missed FG No other NFL team in the last 30 years has done all of that in the same game.

D3 National Championship -- North Central College (illinois) 41, Mount Union 25 (from ESPN) Luke Lehnen accounted for five touchdowns Sunday night and North Central beat Mount Union 41-25 to win its third Division III national championship. The Cardinals (15-0) appeared in their fifth...

going into 2024, I don't think many fans really knew what to expect from Brosmer. I think there was a sense of hope, but we didn't know for sure. and after the North Carolina game, things were not looking promising. but Brosmer improved as the season went on, and the coaches adjusted game...

didn't see game live - finally watched it Saturday night. My opinion - the Play-by-Play guy was a jerk. He seemed to go out of his way to put down the Sponsor's product. if I was a member of the Bowl Committee, or a big-wig with the Duke's Mayo company, watching this game on national TV -...

once again, the people on Gopher Hole know more about the Gopher program than 99% of the media. We watch the games, so we know that Fleck typically uses multiple trick plays in Bowl Games. but the media is amazed!! because they ignore the Gophers most of the time while they spend most of...

I could be wrong - but if I had to guess, the Pohlad family huddled up and reached this consensus: -we're losing revenue due to the TV situation -the financial imbalance between large- and small-revenue teams is getting worse -MLB is facing an uncertain future over the next few years -we're...

for me, I try to keep a mental divide between the game of baseball - what happens on the field - and the business of baseball - what happens off the field. when there's a 3-2 count with the bases loaded, I'm not thinking about TV revenue or salary caps. Believe me, I want to see MLB address...

heard Doogie proclaim this as the most important regular season game in the history of the franchise. look - I know it's been a few years, but we're talking about a franchise that has played in 4 Super Bowls. in the team's history - 32 playoff appearances 21 Division Championships 4...

Hey - I am not going to pretend that everything is rosy. It's not. and I'm disappointed. but I will still watch or listen to the games and follow the Twins, because I have since I was 9 years old. the Twins are part of my life. for me, part of the charm of baseball is that every season...

Coaching Records - just for the heck of it Henry Williams - 22 seasons (1900-1921): 136-33-11 (avg 8.2 gms played - 6.2 wins per season) Bernie Bierman - 16 seasons (1932-41/1945-50): 93-35-6 (avg 8.4 gms played - 5.8 wins per season) Murray Warmath - 18 seasons (1954-71): 87-78-7 (avg 9.6...
