    Panagos to Rutgers

    I don't like seeing this ... but from an ethics point of view ....it is better than a kid finding out his position coach is moving on a day after he signed his letter. Is Panagos getting a raise in salary or position? Is there some conflict with Fleck?

    Auburn Offensive Coordinator?

    Was listening to the SEC network on the way home from work. They mentioned that Morris may get more control of the offense and they may try to practice some of what Morris brings to the table in order to use it for the bowl game. So that may be a disadvantage for the Gophers if that happens...

    Gophers open as 8 point underdogs against Auburn.

    Good note: I was just going to ask about how Vegas makes their money. I thought it was something like how you explained it. Thanks.

    Gophers open as 8 point underdogs against Auburn.

    Teams from the north are usually at a disadvantage in most bowl games. If not next door...in most bowl games the other team is usually a team from the south or in the same region. So I am not surprised the line is 8 points. I'm not saying that the Gophers can't win but I would think the...

    All Things Bowl Game Speculation

    I think the big difference between middle of the road teams and the top teams is the OL and DL. I don’t think we match up well in that area. Especially without the big guy not being able to play.

    Dropped punt by becky

    I bet every long time Gopher fan was remembering that dropped punt with just a few seconds against Wisconsin. Bounced right up into the hands of a Wisconsin defender and broke the hearts of any Gopher fans watching or listening on the radio. ?

    Finally figured out how to do it. Have to go with a picture of one of my pups!

    CFP Rankings: OSU 1, WI 8, PSU 10, Mich 14, Iowa 16, Minnesota 18

    There should be no rankings until four or five weeks in any area. Those first rankings are always guessing where teams should be. Then they go back and say. They beat Notre Dame when they were ranked 10th or something like that when Notre Dame never should have been that high in the first...

    Crowd control getting on rail

    So you are saying in your previous reply that the fastest way to go west is to catch a train going east and that train will end up returning west? It kind of makes sense....

    Crowd control getting on rail

    So your catching the station that is going toward the stadium not the one going to the Viking stadium? I know on the way back to the Viking stadium the door opened at the next station but it was too full for anyone to get on.

    Sconnie continues to land refs that turn the blind eye

    I know both teams played in the same weather but I think the Gophers could win this game if not played in slop. IMO it was a terrible match-up in this kind of weather for the Gophers. Wisconsin had to be thrilled when they saw the forecast.

    Crowd control getting on rail

    We are normally pretty calm people so we handled it but there were a lot of tempers flaring when a mass of people would just cut in and everyone else followed them while folks who had waited a half hour were left behind.

    Crowd control getting on rail

    This is my first experience using the light rail at the stadium sight. I think they need to do a little better with crowd control. Especially on days with expected big crowds. There was no manageable crowd control with getting on the train. At Viking and Twin's games they have guide rails...

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    Yup ... hope that happens.

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    You could see that screen was going for big yards before the pass was complete. There were two Gophers out there. Three Badger linemen ... two other Badgers. One Badger lineman kept looking for someone to block but there were no Gophers there to block.

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    Somewhere ... since last year we have turned into a finesse team on offense. We used to run to set up our pass. Now we pass to set up our run. Our pass game was not consistent against the Badgers so we were never able to set up the run. I really think the weather conditions hurt the Gophers...

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    My son and I were talking about just skipping the fake handoffs because they paid no attention to them. He thought they did it that way because that is the way they practice it. I agree ... that extra fraction of a second to see your receiver would help with the pressure we were seeing.

    Flat out got out coached

    Told my son at the end of the first quarter that we are in trouble...could see the Wis. lines start to dominate. Wis. was more creative on offense and expected better.
