Those were ALL due to the starters getting injured... not because he felt he needed to make a change. I don't think Fleck has ever replaced a starter due to performance (at UofM), but I could be wrong.

That is truly a great question. Do the assistants and Fleck, truly dissect the game film (I hope to god they do and I'm pretty sure they do) with absolute detail? Do the assistants give Fleck their honest opinions about what should have been done? Did we do the right thing? What can be done...

AND they came out of a timeout that THEY took and still got burned by the player, the only player the Illini had that could beat them...

Here is my belief with this thought process AND a reason it has NOT happened, the hiring of a solid OC. Fleck has said this many times and I firmly believe it, but people think it's only for players wanting to play for him, but I think it's for coaches as well. FLECK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE I...

Agree 100%. If you are saying this over and over again after losses, yet the same nauseating play calling on both sides of the ball are taking place, what he's saying is only coach speak and nothing more. If he meant it, there would be drastic changes taking place, plain and simple.

This play I yelled at the screen for him to cut it back inside... and laughed when he didn't as you see illustrated here, he had room to get close to a first down, if not get the first down, but for some reason he ran toward the sideline. Next play he again could have won it but threw the crazy...

The only creative thing about the Gophers is how they lose games. I'm shocked, but then again, not really. Fourth and 11 at their 15 with 1:25 left and a backup off the bench with zero timeouts. Three plays, 85 yards... This one is just another chapter for the book someone should write about...

Sorry, doesn't matter we're a trap game. You'll need an offense... that has a passing game to beat OSU, certainly on their own field. I love the idea, but then reality sets in and we realize, snowballs don't make it through... :devilish: I think you know the actual saying.

Gimme those mushrooms!!

I guess he looked good handing off in the 2nd half ;). I don't recall them even throwing the ball, though they must have. Fleck found another running back to feed all day, so that's what he did the entire 2nd half.

Evidently you didn't watch the full Natty game last year when he actually admitted afterwards he changed his offensive plans (pulled back one player from entering the offensive zone to forecheck) in order to protect a 2 goal lead with half the game left? He went away from the strength of the...

Can we trade coaches??

How does that explain the Badgers performance? It's Thursday for them as well.. Come on, this is the Border Battle!! One team did play with allot more passion than the other, that was certainly clear.

First game I've seen this year and the Badgers seem to want things more. They're winning battles for the puck, they're doing whatever it takes and they're all over the Gophers. Gophers are really sleep walking through this game.

Do people remember the QB from Kentucky (Jared Lorenzen)? He was the guy I thought of when I was watching the game Saturday. http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/11382220/ex-nfl-qb-jared-lorenzen-lifelong-battle-weight You about nailed his shelf life due to weight struggles.

You know what's really fascinating to me is the dichotomy in the draft of the niners relating to the QB position recently; seeming like they hit a grand slam with Purdy (Mr. Irrelevant), but fully faceplanted with Trey Lance (3rd pick in '21)!! How can the results of 2 drafts land on completely...

I live out here in the Bay Area so I've watched Purdy with amazement that he lasted to become Mr. Irrelevant. He's solid and he's young. He got them to the NFC Championship game (where he got hurt and couldn't throw as then the backup was injured and he had to re-enter and hand off), and...

Offense got a B?? Did we watch the same game? The offense had numerous chances the 2nd half to put the game away and went 3 and out, how many times? I knew what the gophers were going to run when they came to the line of scrimmage... Special Teams gets a C-?? Do you realize the only points...

I'd have to agree I won't see another 50 years (though you never know :alien:). They also might put me in the ground way before then with their play.

Why the question mark?
