    ***OFFICIAL NORTH CAROLINA AT MINNESOTA 2024 SEASON OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    We learned a lot in the season opener last year vs Nebraska. I remember coming away from that game feeling a lot less optimistic for the rest of the season. We will learn a lot tomorrow as well, UNC isn't a cupcake, warm up non-conference game. They are a P5 team and even though their star QB...

    Who is your Gophers "Pick to Click" in the game vs North Carolina?

    Offense: Brosmer, even with the inclimate weather he shows he's ready to be a P5 starting QB. Defense: Pass Rush, I think we get at least 2 sacks tomorrow.

    UNC game close to a sell out.

    https://stayaliveinpower5.com/2024/08/25/mack-brown-preparing-his-tar-heels-for-hostile-road-environment/ (which has it's own separate thread here on gopherhole: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/mack-brown-preparing-his-tar-heels-for-hostile-road-environment.115726/) claims it will be a...

    CBS Sports: Minnesota QB Max Brosmer, a New Hampshire standout, hopes to become next FCS-to-FBS transfer to hit it big

    Huh? I'm confused at how this is related? Our practice facility has indoor and outdoor fields, perhaps during summer workouts they have to use a different indoor facility to prevent the coaches from participating? That's the only reason I could see to use a different facility than the one on...

    Culture Counts: Deion Sanders chaotic culture turns into locker room violence in Colorado

    Last year they went 7-4, which is better than how the team was doing in the 6 years prior to Deion taking over, but it's hard to say if that will hold or continue to trend down. Historically for Jackson State, that 6 year stretch was really bad and they cycled through 3 different HCs. From...

    Poll: Which Game Are You Most Looking Forward to?

    I voted for "The "Unwinnable" Games Against Powers Michigan and Penn State", because at the moment I feel very optimistic about this team and think we're going to surprise a lot of folks with how good we are. I think we'll still be the underdogs in these games, but not by as much as is currently...

    STrib: Kicker Dragan Kesich and punter Mark Crawford give Gophers a leg up on special teams

    Their continued improvement is awesome, and I think they will definitely help get us out of at least a few sticky situations this season, but I would love it if we played so well they rarely got to see the field.

    The Athletic: How much does it cost to raise a blue-chip QB? The path to prominence is not cheap

    Not shocked. Lots of sports can say similar things (costs obviously vary from sport to sport), for instance a lot of the olympic sports (summer or winter) have reached the point where if you aren't starting young, specializing, training non-stop you won't be good enough to compete. Occasionally...

    Get on the ground floor of the "Darts Only" Meme!

    I hope someone makes an edit where it clearly cuts from practice footage to game footage from a previous year.

    Koi Perich is Trying to Make Up for Late Start with Gophers

    Hopefully this hamstring injury doesn't become a long-term thing that continually gets re-aggravated. I know hamstring injuries can give players ongoing struggles, though my sample size is small and skews toward injuries that happen during the season where players are motivated to try to get...

    Gophers look to forge an identity heading into 2024 season

    Starting a petition now that if we win game 1 vs UNC and Fleck still has the beard, he's not allowed to shave it until we lose. Just like a playoff beard!

    The coolest traditions for all 18 Big Ten teams, from the Hawkeye Wave to the motorcycling Duck

    The best is the video from a fan where after the announcement you hear them say something like "Ope, no fans on the field" and then go wild after the music starts playing.

    Brosmer Shows Gophers Short Passing Attack - The U is incorporating more short passing routes in fall camp.

    Is the short passing game not what helped open up the long game during the 2019 season? Like, sure it wasn't our go-to, but having those short throws over the middle (and, admittedly, two future NFL draft picks who could add yards after the catch) meant defenses couldn't just sell out on...

    Gophers are making sure Darius Taylor 'has a really healthy 2024'

    Yeah I don't think him not doing everything "right" to take care of his body was the only cause, and sometimes you are just unlucky even if you do everything "right". All of these things probably have some positive effect, reducing the chance of an injury from pulling/straining a muscle, but you...

    Gophers are making sure Darius Taylor 'has a really healthy 2024'

    It's gotta be well maintained grass though. I've seen far more injuries personally from people playing sports on grass that was poorly maintained (rock hard ground from lack of water, uneven playing surface, large divots in the ground, etc) than I have from people playing on turf.

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Explain which part? Why AAU membership is still a requirement to join the conference? Or why AAU membership got tied to conference membership in the first place? The answer is simple for both. The Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly named the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) was formed...

    Coach Fleck- Heavy

    My read on it is that something has caused him to burn less calories each day and he potentially has not changed his diet to accommodate needing less caloric intake. Or perhaps something is causing him to retain more water and is causing him to be more bloated. Perhaps he started on a new...
