So, top WR schools (per https://www.rotoviz.com/2019/07/which-school-produces-the-best-nfl-wide-receivers-nfl-university-the-true-wr-u/) since 2000 in the Big Ten are: OSU, MSU, Michigan, Penn St., and Wisconsin. Our coaches clearly know how to get WRs into the NFL and with 2 (3 if CAB...

Done.

We've had a couple of excellent years (2016, 2014), but the talent increase evidenced in this year’s selections bodes well for the future! 2019 Tanner Morgan, Minnesota (Coaches-2; Media-2) Rodney Smith, Minnesota (Coaches-2; Media-2) Rashod Bateman, Minnesota (Coaches-1; Media-1) Tyler...

Bateman and TJ sweep the WRs (wondering when that has ever happened for any WR duo?) Tanner and Rodney both make 2nd team Blaise Andries 3rd team Honorable Mentions go to Dunlap, Faalele, Olson, and Schlueter Best Gopher showing in a long time...

Now that I think about it, you are probably right.

Good question. It stood out to me as a key weakness nearly all season. Badgers exploited it on the kick return. And, let's be honest-if we have a strong kicker, we at least try a FG instead of punt from the 35.

Awards should be announced soon. Last year, we had 6 make teams (TJ, 2nd; Coughlin, 2nd; Cashman, 3rd; Honorable mention, D. Green, Herbers, and Huff). What are your predictions for this season? I'm thinking: Offense- Bateman, TJ, Morgan, Smith (one of our WRs has got to be 1st team)...

So, it was simply a matter of execution? I hadn't paid close attention to the schematics but if they were the same, then it was execution and personnel. Also, I never realized how much I'd miss a kick-*ss kicker (Santosa/Carpenter). Herber, it seems to me, has been solid. But KOs and FGs have...

Our offense was white-hot for most of the season. Our defense seemed solid. But our special teams were lacking significantly. Here are our national rankings (per Football Outsiders' rating system ) over the last four years: 2016-19th (4th in the Big Ten) 2017-14th (3rd in the Big Ten) 2018-10th...

So, seeing that Tanner was nominated for the O'Brien award got me thinking about how he might end the season if we project forward based on his current averages (I do understand that the future isn't usually a simple projection forward of the present). But, let's do it anyway. :) Here are...

Bleed (see the thread) posted a link and summary of a very nice article in the Penn-Live Patriot News (https://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/2019/11/on-a-landmark-day-for-its-program-minnesota-was-as-ready-as-it-could-be-penn-state-not-so-much.html). Thank you, David Jones, for you are...

...a ranked Gophers team played at home vs. a Top-10 team? I'm thinking it has been quite a while. Certainly has never happened at TCF, right? Did it happen during Holtz's last season? In other words, the Penn State game is a pretty big deal, provided we and PSU both win this week.

Ok, all you stats nerds. When was the last time we had this many yards (298) in a first half of a Big Ten game?

Don't recall seeing this posted. https://www.newyorkjets.com/video/one-jets-drive-blake-cashman-feature

Sorry, SEC, the Big Ten has the nation's best receivers "Some of the top-tier names belong to the nation's powerhouse teams in Clemson and Alabama, but it's actually the Big Ten that returns the most talented group of pass-catchers in the nation....Tyler Johnson, Minnesota On the other end of...

I had seen the BTN version of the highlights but I had not see this one, with announcing from Gaard, DT, and Grimm. Pretty fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FumUC30kTcI

It got me thinking about ole' Jer, who I really loved. Which got me thinking about all he did for our program. Which led me to look for the video of the 2014 Citrus Bowl Game vs. Missouri. Which gave me the opportunity to relive this golden Maxx moment in Gopher fb history, which made me smile...

Don't post much but wanted to make sure everyone saw this! /https://twitter.com/R_bateman2/status/1090394786778017793

Thanks to everyone for filling out the survey and for offering your rankings in the thread. Well over 50 participated. Final results, based on what GH posters think? 1. Fleck with 43% of #1 preference 2. Kill with 29% of #1 preference 3. Mason with 27% of #1 preference 4. Claeys with 1% of #1...

I'm always intrigued (amused!) by our contant analysis/critique of head coaches. So, just out of curiosity, of the head coaches we've had here say, since Mason (though many of us recall coaches prior to Mase, I think many on this board were not watching Gopher fb then), how would you rate them...
