If this isn't in the dictionary as the primary definition of "awesome", I don't know what is. What is the scheme anyway? A 1-1-1-4-4? ;) https://twitter.com/alanellingson5/status/813969592104022016/photo/1

(This is in another thread but thought it needed a separate thread) Those who don't want to do so, don't have to. Those, like me, who think he did the best with an impossible situation can go here and sign the petition: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/keep-tracy-claeys-as

Wonder what we could have done had we been healthier all season? Central Michigan offense versus select defenses: Vs. Oklahoma St: 343 total offense 265 passing yds 13 pts scored Vs. Kent St: 442 total offense 337 passing yds 27 pts scored Vs. Michigan St: 330 total...

So, Matt H notes this in a tweet (I have no reason to doubt his accounting): https://twitter.com/MVofDT/status/664147459292065792 "By my count, #Gophers have lost a combined 56 starts from offense/defense due to injuries this season. 6 a game! Absurd." Has the vindictive Iowa deity focussed...

I haven't seen this in a thread (if it's there, forgive me), but we had 4 sacks for 27 yds. lost against an O-line that BTN rated second best in the East. Have we had a game this year with 4 sacks? And, we did this w/o Richardson? Someone with a higher football IQ, help me-what happened that we...

In a recent The Daily Gopher article (http://www.thedailygopher.com/2015/10/19/9562211/minnesota-golden-gopher-football-monday-perspective-asks-for-patience-jerry-kill-hot-seat), GopherNation wrote about patience. I agree with most of what he said. He also noted that it is hard to win...

If you look at the threads from last season, we were all really ambivalent about the Gophers heading into conference play. Granted, we weren't as banged up last year as this year, but it is interesting to look at a comparison between this year's and last year's non-conference stats. If you...

Someone on another thread noted ML's play "by instinct" in the hurry-up was much better than at the typical pace. Who has the time to re-watch the game and figure our what those stats are. The final drive in regulation would be evidence of Fast Mitch being a better passer but what about the rest...

Unsurprisingly, the top 2 most hated teams are WI and IA. But, I'm curious to find out who we hate most after those two teams. So, who's #3? (Not including Maryland and Rutgers).

1) We are NOT talking about Kill's health. We continue to notice the non-issue of Jerry's epilepsy. I look at what he has done-how he has changed his lifestyle and sacrificed to make himself a better man so that he could keep coaching, and I am inspired. Still. Inspired then. Inspired now. Not...

So, I noted on the Gopher Road Trip schedule that there is no visit to Duluth (my home town). This year's Gopher Road Trip is going to: Spicer, Alexandria, Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids, Winona, Rochester, Mankato, Hutchinson. No Duluth. Outside the Cities, Duluth is our 2nd largest city (with area...

Don't know if this has been posted yet or not. "Wilson, a linebacker, will receive a signing bonus of $466,316 and base salaries of $435,000, $525,000, $615,000 and $705,000." http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4742751/cowboys-ink-lb-damien-wilson-to-deal

So Vegas has us for 5.5 wins. My question is, how has Vegas done since Jerry came? What was the pre-season over/under for each of the past 4 years?

In another thread, beavergopher noted "Another Jerry-ism, 'leaned up.'" Got me thinking-we've got an extremely quotable coach who is apt to contort language into neologisms and make great down-to-earth statements that are wonderfully memorable. I searched and could find no thread for this. So...

In DL65's summary of the Sports Huddle today, he notes that Coach Kill "hopes that at least five of this year’s recruits will be in school for the second semester and spring drills". Who would these 5 be?

One way to think about how the program is improving is to look at All B1G honors historically. Of course it isn't a comprehensive indicator of improvement (like conference wins or championships, which is THE point). Such honors, however, can represent a general trend of player on-field...

Looking back on the regular season, how would you rate the various areas of our game, in terms of progress, comparatively to where we were at the end of last season?

Hadn't seen this mentioned. "The Minnesota/Nebraska college football game drew a 2.0 overnight rating on ESPN Saturday afternoon, up 11% from Michigan State/Northwestern last year (1.8), and the network’s top game of the week. This week was the first in over a month in which the SEC was not...

What are everyone's predictions of Gophers that make 1st and 2nd All Big 10 offense and defense? What will have to happen/not happen for Jerry to get Big 10 Coach Of The Year award? Any Gophers get a named award? For reminders, here are those awards: Offensive Player of the Year Defensive...
