    Fleck Never Learns....FFS

    Fleck makes some of the worst in-game decisions I have ever seen from a coach who I actually support. It is the most glaring weakness in his overall coaching. He does a lot of things right but just can't grasp the in-game flow that all great coaches seem to have. The great ones always seem...

    ESPN: And the winner of the 2021 Vitale Cupcake non-conference schedule is ... Minnesota!

    I think this is the best possible scenario for this team and am relieved that their non-conference schedule is light. Don't want to see these kids getting pounded on prior to the Big 10 season where there is a strong chance that happens often.

    When do you bench Tanner?

    Based on how good Rashad Bateman and Tyler Johnson made Tanner Morgan look like a potential NFL prospect, I expect both to be guaranteed first ballot HOF inductees after they retire.

    Post Game Reaction Thread: Illini Beat Gophers

    Despite being a jaded, cynical, long suffering Minnesota sports fan; I did not see this one coming. I posted yesterday how impressed I was with the way they responded to the brutal BG loss. I was wrong. Honestly, this team was as flat as I have ever seen any team coming out of the gates in...

    ***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Hard to state who was worse that half. Morgan, Sanford or the O-line.

    ***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The signs are there that this is going to be a longggggg afternoon. I can't believe how flat both sides of the ball are. I truly thought they learned their lesson against BG. Depressing as eff.

    ***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This is an AWEFUL showing early. They look incredibly flat. This is a guaranteed L boys. Sorry. Seen this movie before. When will we learn that you just can't get too high on a Minnesota team. EVER.

    Help Football! Become an Official

    Having been on some boards myself, this is an often overlooked aspect of the problems that are infecting youth sports. They are rife with nepotism and despotism when those who are concerned question some of the brutal decisions that can be made, particularly in the smaller sports where there...

    Just Embrace It

    There is no disputing that the Bowling Green loss was epically bad, AT THE TIME. But they did what a lot of our other sports teams in this market don't do. THEY RESPONDED despite losing their top 3 RB in the process as well! You can forgive losses like that when the team learns from them...

    Somebody at the Minnesota Tourism Board needs to give PJ a call! What a great ambassador for this state and University.

    As a father of two children who just completed their youth sports careers, the overwhelming issue with attracting officials is parents. It is not even close. Don't get me wrong, there are some coaches who think they are the next Bear Bryant or Scotty Bowman. But it is not even close with...

    O-line on LeCaptain Run

    Was not LeCaptain the player who received the vicious blind side block at the end of the Maryland game that enraged the players who saw it? He was down on the turf for awhile. Thankfully he was OK. Can somebody please remove the injury hex on the RB room please?

    O-line on LeCaptain Run

    He also stated that there has been another player in the RB room that he did not want to identify yet.

    Gophers Crush Maryland: Post-Game Reaction Thread

    The playcalling going into half-time WAS irresponsible and some of the stupidest I have seen. This does not mean that the rest of the game was not good and that Fleck is a horrible coach. But there simply is no defending what was done there. Fortunately the game ended the way it did and that...

    ***OFFICIAL MARYLAND AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    That missed/blocked FG was the absolute predictable result of some of the worst play-calling imaginable. Criminally negligent and not the first time this season. I seriously am questioning if Mike Sanford is not point shaving. Why are the football teams in Minnesota afraid to score...

    Official 2022 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    To clarify my original post, those percentages were obviously meant to illustrate the four main "qualities" that determine an athletes success AGAINST other athletes at the college level. No D1 Power 5 football players are less than elite level athletes when compared to the normal population...

    Official 2022 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Football is 25% god given athletic talent (measurable), 25% worth ethic, 25% competitiveness/drive and 25% luck (avoiding injuries). Only one of these is easily measured. The recruiting sites (247 is my favorite to peruse) can give you a broad based look at an overall class to gain a basic...
