    What percentage of the playbook have we seen and why?

    If I am remembering correctly, the offensive game plan for the Texas Tech team was pretty amazing. We were giving different looks. Running different plays. Etc. So we know Limegrover "has it in him". Why do you think we haven't seen the expanded playbook? A. We haven't needed to show it. We...

    Here's half of GopherHole. Not saying which half I am.

    Breaking down San Jose State

    So I hear their QB is pretty good. Anyone worried we are going to get torched? Or do you think our pass D is up to the task? (Edit: 2012 Highlights) Seems like the connection between Fales (QB) and Grigsby (WR) is one to watch.

    Ra'Shede Hageman's performance so far

    Hey, I always liked this kid. Love the story. For some of you that know the intricacies of the game, how's he doing this year? I don't need a "Google, copy/paste" of his stats, I am more interested in the "what's it mean". I think many of us (either on this board or in our head) had...

    Richard Pitino and Minnesota: What's the appeal?

    So I think most objective observers on this board can safely state (we'll see how this plays out) that oustide of Minnesota, there is more chatter about the program and interest in it than in the last several years. As a die-hard Gopher fan that has no insight into the inner workings of...

    Gophers on Big Ten Network in other states?

    I live in Michigan and have the Big Ten Network. Does anyone know what the regional differences are? Will I be able to see the Gophers play? Or will there always be a conflict given that I am not in Minnesota? Question applies for basketball as well. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Coach Pitino's Acting Career

    I was watching Back to the Future II this weekend, and almost spit out my beer upon noticing that our own Coach Pitino had a cameo.

    Define the "Pitino Style of Play" for me...

    Lots of talk about a new "style of play". Talk that certain personnel will or won't "fit the system". I would like to know what this really means. I am not a huge Xs and Os guy, but I played high school basketball. (think Dos Equis guy). I understand the difference between pressing and not...

    Is "Michigcan winning it all" good or bad for the Gophers?

    I have mixed feelings. Discuss.

    Important Recruiting Dates?

    What are they? For current high school seniors? I assume we are already in the "late period"? When do these guys sign on the dotted line? For current high school juniors (i.e. "The Big Three). When will juniors start to "verbal"?

    The Official Rick (Dad) Pitino Thread

    Any interesting angles here? Intriguing that our new coach has been tutored by Donovan and Pitino, two of the top 10 (maybe 5) active coaches. What role do you see dad playing? Occasional phone call? Advice on how to structure his coaching staff? None at all? My dream scenario: Rick wins...

    Andy Katz throws Norwood Teague under the bus for how firing was handled

    Just on ESPN TV. Not great for PR. Talked about how they "told the staff at a 1PM staff meeting" when they knew at 9AM. Something like, "that's just not how you do things"

    Hat tip to Tubby and the staff thread!

    Agreed. Tubby is a class act. Whether or not you want him gone, this thread is simply about thanking the man.

    I just had the realization that we might actually be the lead in for SC... And for something positive.

    Favorite Moment's of the Year So Far

    Getting a little ahead of myself, but I think it's fair to say that this will be a fun year for Gopher Basketball. For those of you that can, think back to the last really special season that didn't happen. I bet you have some "moments that you can remember". Bobby Jackson almost single-handedly...

    Win 6, but no bowl: A Possibility?

    So I was trying to reconcile in my mind how every 6-win team can make a bowl. I thought maybe they invented new bowls to ensure that all 6-win teams get a bowl. I am sure that most of you already know this, but it's news to me. From the Wikipedia article on bowl eligibility: So that got me...

    Top Moments from last night?

    For those of us that were stuck at a fancy dinner last night watching the scoring progress on a tiny phone in the bathroom, what were the defining moments of the game? Sounds like there was an interception on the goal line? What else?

    Chris Halvorsen and Kendal Shell

    Can someone tell me the status of these players? They are listed on the roster... Halvorsen is sitting out a year due to transfer. I remember seeing him play against Royce White at Sibley. Is he a walk-on or scholarship player? Do we expect him to see action next year? What about Shell? When I...

    Minnesota comes in at 96th in Rivals 120 Ranking

    It's just a list. It's just a number. But sometimes it's nice to see the 30,000 foot view. How many teams can we claw our way past in the next 12 months? I say anything better than 50th will be a success. What say you? Source: Rivals 120 9. Wisconsin 11. Michigan State 16. Michigan 21...

    Watch this year? Free or Paid.

    Question for the community: Is there a way to watch the games online this year? Even if there is a charge. My wife dropped the hammer on our cable package. (Sorry about the semi-coherent title. I accidentally hit the "return" key before I was done editing... can't edit titles)
