    Knuth No Longer with Team

    If he has to come in for whatever reason, wouldn't he have the 1st string WR's? The point I've tried to make is Cole is an adequate #2, and if called upon either to start or replace #1 during a game due to injury or whatever, the risk is minimal as he is an outstanding game manager, even in an...

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    I've been supportive of Cole for years noting his history at EP as a game manager in a run oriented system, to learning PJ's RPO over several years as a Sub and part time Wildcat back.. He has put on 15-20 pounds of muscle, has learned the new system, is tough as nails, an adequate passer and...

    I hope today's Spring game puts to bed the notion that Kramer can't be an adequate backup to the Greek Rifleman!

    I hope today's Spring game puts to bed any doubts about Kramer being an adequate QB to back up the Greek Rifleman!

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    I've said before and I'll say it again, Kramer was a game manager QB at Eden Prairie, and has seen specific roles while at the U. primarily as a Wildcat back. He may be criticized for his passing as noted in many posts, but until he has to sling the rock a meaningful number of times during a...

    What is your favorite rivalry matchup?

    (1) One of the longest rivalries in the land --- Wisconsin, for the Axe (2) Iowa --- for Floyd (3) Nebraska --- to continue to beat the legacy of Tom Osbourne For me, unfortunately, Michigan and The Jug have been too infrequent to be included in a current rivalry. It would be interesting if the...

    Mike Leach has passed away

    Septic shock or sepsis. If he had chronic bacterial pneumonia because he always aspirated due to an inverted epiglottis and antibiotics didn't "fix" the problem his body may have started to shut down. Requires immediate ICU care with a poor prognosis. My wife passed away in 2018 due to the...

    OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

    Born in northern NJ. Lived in NYC area until college, but came back years later and worked in Manhattan for over ten years during the Guliana era. The environment has clearly changed since then, and all the comments about safety are correct. Ditto bowl, baseball stadium, opponent etc. But from...

    Have we officially caught up to Wisconsin?

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have an off-season ahead with the impact of the Transfer Portal, recruiting, unforeseen changes to the roster, and, possibly, unforeseen changes to the coaching staff (Rossi getting a HC job). But, I like what I see in the Illinois Rifleman and his young...

    STrib: Gophers football: From 4-0 and ranked No. 21 to meh — what happened?

    Execution. As GHer RememberMurray so often states, it's execution that determines who wins and who loses tight games. Who blocks, and who tackles on critical plays with the game on the line. Who catches the pass, and who doesn't when the yardage is needed? Who kicks the field goal in a tight...

    To Gophernut1:The onside kick by Grant was a real headscratcher. Rosemount was going to get the ball at the start of the second half. At the time of the kick, it was 7-7. If he had kicked and put Rosemount at the 25-yard line or less they may have scored, but putting them at their 40-yard line...

    First time since a Lakeville team many years ago did it but EP lost twice in one year to a team. Rosemount once again very opportunistic on offense. EP fumbled the opening kickoff and Rosemount scored in1:45. EP tied it up near the end of the half but then, for some reason, went to an onside...

    Could next weeks Iowa game be the coldest game in recent memory?

    I went to the 2018 NW game too and was cold on the M side, 15 yard line, lower, despite layers of everything. My tickets this year are 240 and last week's game vs NW wasn't too bad with boots, two wool socks, thermal, lined pants, snow pants, base layer up top, wool sweater, fleece, and...

    I've seen all four play. I don't think MG's schedule was up to the other three. Having said that, this is an indoor game. Whose OL shows up? Whose Defense shows up? I think the various coaches' game plays for an indoor game and the execution of the game plan against a specific opponent will be...
