Yes, posting a bit late, but his 4th down 4th Q game tying catch was one for all time. He had big catches in every game this year with the exception of the UNC game (no catches but he was open). He is a fantastic receiver and if he repeats his 2023 year, he will be number 4 all time WR in...

The Gophs threw the ball a ton vs Neb but had little to show for it. That game played a big part in the strategy that followed I believe.

His dad had a great baseline jump shot.

Was Spencer Petra healthy for Iowa these past 5 games or so? If he was they still decided to play that dad bod (with a lot of beer drinking) instead of Petras?

He seems to have all the physical tools. I don't recall who the Gophers were playing but I think he started the first game of his freshman year, and he was already big and fast. So great that he is doing well in the NFL. Did anyone watch the Ravens game last night? I couldn't tell if L Jackson...

I wonder what Illinois had to fork out to get their veteran Jason Paddock who came in on 4th and 10 vs the Gophers and never looked back. I think Minnesota has to be resourceful and consider MAC or lower conference guys that are accurate and make good decisions. Somebody like this App State...

I'll match that!

It's different than when Sanford struggled. There were a lot plays this year that had big play potential (nice design with receivers wide open), but usually the QB failed to execute and sometimes the receivers dropped the ball. However, part of coaching is knowing the strengths of your players...

And trending the wrong way. We need a new group of Harvey McKay's to become boosters. I believe Harvey is/was part of the Paul Giel friend group that supported Gopher athletics and was generous in giving back to his community and university. Here might be the only positive thing that Reusse...

Nice to have that John Mellencamp money 😀

Someone came at me before for a post around this, but I would say the way T Morgan debuted vs Nebraska and then played really well for 1.5 years was the exception to Gopher QB play in my lifetime. I think the way Athan has looked this year is similar to how most first year starting Gopher QBs...

Do you mean the 4th down low probability pass to CrAB in the 4th Q? That was not a smart play.

Well I am glad that you feel like you blossomed thanks in part to Mpls and U of M education. I don't understand the wanting to crap on the place that you came from. No reason kids from outstate MN or other areas wouldn't look to the U of M campus as great option and pretty unique for the BIG.

That's right. I just looked up that game and I had forgotten that Croft threw three 4th quarter TDs and making the score 30-27. We almost Northwesterned MSU in 2017.

Okay I get that. We live on the edge of the North Side and I agree that it is a challenging situation to turn around. There are generations of poverty in the North side and it's concentrated. Many kids don't get to see successful people in the hood that look like them. Two of my kids went to...

I would add 2017 - Doesn't have an Oline or DLine. Anyone remember that darn game against MSU here when MSU ran the same power sweep all night and MN could not stop it? He has improved those key position groups (O and D line) since coming here.

I have lived in Mpls since 1991 and I think it's one of the best cities in the country. Great parks system, really good housing stock, good public schools (not as good as maybe 5 years ago) for a good sized american city, and plenty to do. It absolutely should be selling point outside of...

That 82 game was the first Gopher game I attended. Somehow I still got hooked. The Metrodome seemed exciting, fans were pumped, and Hohensee was a pretty good QB. Little did I know as a 12 year old that Smokey Joe and the Metrodome were both poor fits for the program. I really do not like the...

This team needs practices, and I love watching bowl games especially with BIG teams. Also it's a good message both locally and nationally to say this team was awarded a bowl invite due to their excellent academic standing.

Hmm, I guess I never thought your were a paranoid crazy person before. Did you go to school at the University of Minnnesota? Have you spent any time in the city lately?
