hungan1 is right on. I don't get the awe that OSU, UM and Iowa are held in. Two years ago we were ahead of OSU at half time. If Moe had not been injured we had a good chance of winning. Last year we would have beaten Iowa if not for an unfortunate fumble. Yes, these opponents are good teams...

I have been a gopher season-ticket holder for 38 years. This is the most talented group of receivers I have ever seen. We have had some terrific individual receivers - Eric Decker, and Max Williams come to mind just off the top of my head - but considering the receivers as a group, this is the...

I think they announced 2 open practices and 1 on April 11 open to the press.

We don't know why he left the team. Could be depression, could be grades, could be drugs, could be... fill in the blank. He has had some bumps in the road in his life so let's cut the kid some slack. All we know is he was somewhat inconsistent in his play. That could be for any number of...

I knew a couple of players at the time. If Holtz didn't think you could contribute you were just a piece of meat and he would try to get rid of you. Dave Huffman (sp?) who played at ND (Daves claim to fame was, he was drafted ahead of team mate Joe Montana) and whose younger brother played at...

I need a little help understanding something. What does the phrase "play to win" look like? The phrase comes has come up fairly often this year in relation to Fleck's game strategies. Fleck should "play to win" and not "play to not lose". It seems to me that of, course, Fleck plays to win...

If you were watching Rutgers defense, they had 6 guys playing back at the safety level in the last series. Does anyone think it is a good idea to pass against that defense, risk an interception and give Rutgers a short field? Or, as UNK notes above, Mo has a better chance to hit a long run...

Don't forget about Urban Mayer

I think PJ should PLAY TO WIN - Have your freshman QB start throwing the ball from the very first snap - If AK has to "eased" into his first start in front of 103,000 screaming fans then PJ has picked the wrong guy. If AK had been PLAYING TO WIN he would have thrown for a million, billion miles...

This. Until the line learns to block blitzes and stunts we are going to have a "bad" offense. It worked for Purdue and Illinois and it will work for everyone else until Ciarocca's figures it out. I don't thing the D was that bad - I think they were on the field for 80 plays against a very hot QB

This O line does not handle blitzes and stunts very well. See Bowling Green and Ill last year and Purdue and Ill this year. Hard to win if you can't give the QB a little time.

Season tickets for 37 years and, yes, this is the best program I have seen.

It was Homecoming. Some/many of the players had buddies, who had graduated, come back to campus. The players got together with their buddies and perhaps had a beer or two, then some more buddies showed up and it called for another beer/shot or two. Then, before they knew it - it was late -...

Of the 14 Big10 teams, 11 have one or more losses. The remaining 3 are OSU, Mich., and Penn State. Another way of saying this is, it is not unusual for a team to have a loss at this point in the season. I don't think MN is at the level of OSU or Mich. We may be at the level of Penn State...

It is too bad you didn't watch the Fresno State game (I think in 2019 - someone can correct me) when, with about 5 minutes to play, trailing by a touchdown, the Gophers the got ball deep in their own end zone. First down = TM sack, Second down = TM sack, Third down and 21, I believe, with TM...

Rossi has said on one of the pre/post game videos that the D could get a lot more sacks if they blitzed more BUT they would also give up more big plays AND stopping big/explosive plays is a more important stat if you want to win games. As BtownGopher noted above, when Rossi does blitz they...

We may have. I noticed it for the first time during the NMS game

I read somewhere on the web that this is the slogan the defense (or perhaps the entire team) has adopted for itself this season. If you are not familiar with the quote, it is from the TV series Breaking Bad. The past couple of games the scoreboard has posted a message to the effect "Can you...

Does this mean they won't be Big10 Champs like they thought they would be at the beginning of the season? Bwwaahahahaha!!!! I am laughing so hard I may lose control of some of my bodily functions.

First, I hate Iowa with the heat of a 1,000 suns. (I grew up an Iowa State fan. No love lost between the two Iowa teams) Next, I hate Nebraska with the heat of 900 suns. I watched the 1983 Nebraska beatdown of the Gophers 84 -13. Osbourne left the first team in until half way into the 4th...
