    Post Game Thread: Gophers Bounce Back With Homecoming Win!

    Against terrible competition. That’s like holding Iowa to 17 points. I mean it’s not a lot of points sure but also it’s Iowa’s offense.

    Post Game Thread: Gophers Bounce Back With Homecoming Win!

    This team can’t impose themselves in any aspect of the game on anyone else in the West. Nothing about this team is intimidating to anyone else in the West. And the West is terrible.

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    I’ve lived in TN. Not Knoxville, but close enough. I would not recommend Tennessee as a place to live but that is subjective.

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    No not all but many. Naive is different than unwilling. If the Gophers become a losing program because regular fans won’t pay enough to kids, many of whom are already privileged, then I am OK with whatever direction they go. I guess I am not in the camp that you do whatever it takes to win...

    Fleck is fired up on KFAN

    If you’re asking me to pay kids to play football at a University then no I will just root for the losing program. I think there are a lot of fans like me who could afford donations and choose not to because it’s gross to pay a middle man to turn around and give money to kids. That comes with...

    How do you cope with Gopher disappointment? I broaden my view to the wider B1G. You?

    Honestly age isn't even relevant. All any of us have ever known are pain and shame as fans of this program. I cope by expecting us to always lose and finding humor in our cartoonish, clever ways to show incompetence decade after decade. Queue up BBall season amid a Benny Hill yakkety-sax...

    Year 7, one of the most pathetic losses in my 45 years.

    There are sloppy and obese football coaches everywhere, including the NFL. Claeys was, thankfully, let go because he is a dud. Egad enough with this guy. I wouldn’t want Claeys back if he coached for free.

    Year 7, one of the most pathetic losses in my 45 years.

    NW has been a better program than MN recently with greater success, but the context of NW’s season matters. Even if they are not “horrible”, we should be far-and-away better. The context of the game matters also - a team that came in with poor passing numbers absolutely carved up our team at...

    Beat Iowa. Beat Wisconsin.

    It’s been a trend for decades. It’s baked into the marrow of this program. The idea that we will beat our two rivals when that never happens is wishful thinking. I hope we do it but have zero faith. Constantly embarrassed by the choices this team makes and how pathetic they look when they need...

    How long before Wenger costs the Gophers a game in 2023?

    Redding needs to be removed from kick return. He was poor last year and again this year. Unless we are fair catching every kick, he should not be playing.

    Game 1 takeaways

    Good to have the win. Lots of pros already mentioned and I agree with. Cons: Tyler and Crooms seem tiny. Easily brought down and cannot extend forward. This doesn't take away from the reliable hands on Crooms but man he and Tyler seem small. Redding as a returner. He is not dynamic - slow. I...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS GOPHERS SPRING GAME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    He is not an effective hybrid/wildcat. He’s just big. At no point has he shown to be any type of dynamic runner. He is just big and plays QB.

    Jack Wilson commits

    This is over the top. The team he coaches has absolutely sucked while he has been the coach. In both talent and preparation/coaching. If he made the elite 8, the team will not have sucked and people will be happy with the coach.

    Knuth No Longer with Team

    He hasn't proven he can run well at all. He's just big. He runs about as well as he throws.

    No year zero in Madison: 10-plus wins, Big Ten West title; Fickell embraces expectations

    I hate WI more than any other team but aside from the last few years, they have absolutely decimated the Gophs. They made a top-notch coaching hire who can leverage his name to pull legit talent from the portal, and that's what he's done. The B1G West remains a very weak conference so I would be...

    Jah Joyner and veteran, talent-rich DE room.

    They aren’t getting pressure on the QB. Happy the defense is good statistically but that should be even better if we were closing. The rush also seems to be absent during the most crucial times. The pass rush has been bad and I hope it gets better next year but I’m not sold on why it should.
