12 shots on goal all night, but the last one with 26 seconds was the one that counted!

Big Bad Burt Busted

Stan the Man!

This Friday looks like the first "cold" game of the year. Your point is well taken. Players react differently from equipment choices to nutrition to hydration. Both MG and EP are rushing oriented offenses so the first cold game of the year could impact the outcome. I remember years ago when the...

A potentially great team is one that wins State conclusively. Maple Grove is three games away after Friday from being considered in that category. I still believe Friday's game is going to be a competitive contest.

The pundits all agree that its going to be a blowout in favor of MG. As my old ball coach from the late sixties used to say, a former Marine, that's why you suit up and play the game. Should EP lose I believe it will be Coach Grant's first four loss team since he came to EP. Can someone confirm...

Grant was the EP coach for several years before I moved to EP in 1996. Hope that clarifies everything.

I moved to EP in 1996. I started that year. I did not see any Forest Lake games, just EP.

I've been watching EP football since Grant started in the late nineties, missing very few games.. This year's team with three losses hasn't put it all together.....yet , bit I have seen some subtle favorable changes of late. I don't think they will be outmuscled this Friday like they were at...

I'm waiting for the second round EP vs Maple Grove matchup. EP defense guys are healthy.

First, lets get healthy over the Bye week and then go 1-0 against Maryland at Homecoming. Then, come up with a game plan against Big Bad Burt that is offensively aggressive...read pass driven...and beat the SOB. I think Rutgers might be a trap game for us after beating Illinois. Fans may not...

Urgency and throwing the rock are keys to future success this year. Isn't that the reason why we have the QB we have??? 70% completion rate is the professed objective and he's hitting it, so let him continue to throw the rock; I'm sure #9 won't disagree.

2025 QB1 is one large man!

Given the performance of the first half, I wonder if the coaches anticipated the changes to UCLA defense r just poor execution.. F for first half, A for third quarter. B for fourth quarter. A win is a win is a win, particularly in the new BIG.

The Perich photo, the one where he is way off the ground, will go down in the Gopher history books as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, interception ever! The kid is amazing; what an athlete. He was the MVP in the Under Armor High School All America game less than a year ago.

My section (240) went nuclear twice...the under review TD and the unreal highlight reel interception by our freshman Perich. I thought fans were going jump off the second deck to join the mosh pit; it was electric and LOUD.

The picture of him making the interception in the end zone will forever be a part of Gopher lore.

Tonight was the night that PJ grew "a pair" and the team responded.

Fantastic win for the coaches and the players.. Koi played most of the game at safety and his interception in the end zone will be captured and put in every Gopher promo for years to come. The second coming of Winfield and the man is a freshman.
