    Thoughts on Cade Tyson from those that saw exhibition games

    Didn't see any of the two exhibition games but looking at box scores it looks like Cade was far and away our best player in those 2 games scoring 28 and 26 points while shooting a really high percentage from both 2 and 3. For those that did see the games how do you think his game will translate...

    2nd Half Domination in Big Ten Games

    Putting aside the Ohio State game.....because that team is built different....an interesting trend has developed against Rutgers, Purdue and Nebraska and that is domination of the game in the second half. The slow starts against Rutgers and Purdue were well documented. Team didn't start all...

    Vote on your favorite play from Nebraska Game

    Lot of fun plays from the game last night. Thought it would be interesting to post a poll to see what everyone's favorite play was. My vote goes to Kingsbury launching Johnson and getting the sack. 2 picks allowed

    Former Gopher Eric Decker on new season of Special Forces

    Was surprised to see Eric Decker (and his wife) on the new season of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. It is reality TV but a little different because there are no prizes or anything like that and they put the "celeb's" on the show through some grueling tests. Show attracts a lot...

    Anthony Smith needs to become a face of the program

    He was part of the post game press conference after the Buffalo game and it was one of the first times I have seen him on camera but he absolutely needs to be out front and center as much as possible. You can tell the kid just loves football. He is a physical freak and hopefully has a huge...

    72 or 76 team NCAA tournament.....NCAA determined to ruin one of the best things in sports.

    I know it has been discussed here but this just came across on Yahoo. Damn shame they are determined to ruin one of the few truly good things left in college athletics right now. All about the $$$.... edit......Author is very against the idea. Of course the NCAA people are trying to pretend...

    Dawson Garcia - Has he become one of the best in the Country?

    Clearly the best player on our team. Easily one of the best in the Big Ten.....but are we getting to the point where he should be viewed as one of the best players in the entire country? He is frustrating because at times he is way too passive but holy crap he can take over a game when he...

    Free Throws and 3 Pointers through 3 games

    After the horrible free throw shooting and great 3 point shooting last night I looked at the stats from the first 3 games (2 exhibition and 1 regular season) to see how those two stats had looked to date this year. Through 3 games Free Throws - 28-54 - 52% 3 Pointers - 31-63 - 49% I wonder if...

    Brosmer really hitting his stride - 1st 4 vs. last 4

    First off, Brosmer has been really solid all year and was a phenomenal pickup by the coaching staff. But has been a lot of fun to see him develop over the course of the season so thought it would be interesting to compare his first 4 games vs his last 4 games. 1st 4 75 comp 114 attmepts 836...

    Great time for a Bye Week

    Coming off of 4 emotional games....2nd half collapse against Iowa, coming up just short against Michigan....followed by 2 hard fought wins against USC and UCLA. No doubt lots of guys are dinged and can use the week off to get their bodies right. Coaches get to hit the road recruiting coming...

    MN, IA, WIS - all 2-1 but in very different places.

    All 3 played 1 power 4 team and 2 lesser teams. All 3 have the same records, but they are not all in the same place heading into conference play. Iowa - lost to their rival and was down at halftime against Troy at home. Offense is better but still leaves a lot to be desired and defense is not...

    Brian Kelly speaks out against buying players.

    Some will discount this because it is coming from Brian Kelly the same way people scoffed at what Saban had to say. But I like that more and more coaches are speaking out about the insanity of what is going on right now...

    Ben Johnson is NOT a disaster....

    Lot of season left and things could go sideways....but from what I have seen to this point I don't see Johnson getting canned at the end of this season. I don't know if he will prove to be the guy but maybe.....just maybe.....he isn't the disaster that some have him pegged to be.

    Chiefs giving off serious Iowa Vibes after last night

    Similar to what happened in our game with Cooper DeJean and the Invalid Fair Catch rule being correctly enforced now the Chiefs are up in arms about the refs having the gal to call a WR for clearly lining up in the neutral zone which took away the awesome TD lateral from Kelce to Toney. If a...

    Thoughts on team as we head into Big Ten games

    Not going to make any predictions on records or if Johnson will be able to save his job. But here is what I have seen through the first handful of games as we head towards Ohio State on Sunday. Offense and depth are light years ahead of where they were last year. This team can score and has a...

    Gutless Playcalling

    I'm finally fully on board with some of the complaints many of you have had about offensive philosophy. The only chance you have to spring an upset against a team like Ohio State is to be aggressive and maximize every possession. I can be ok with the idea of a punt from the opponents 43 if...

    Site performance in browser on a MAC has gotten terrible

    Have been posting to Gopherhole for years, but something changed recently in regards to how the site runs in a browser. My laptop is a MAC - can't open the forums in chrome at all and in safari or firefox the forums open but they use a crazy amount of resources on my computer causing the fan to...

    Big Ten Mess....I mean West

    So in an effort to talk about something other than invalid fair catch signals let's take a look at the West as it stands today. Wisconsin - 3-1 Iowa - 3-2 Minnesota - 2-2 Nebraska - 2-2 Northwestern - 1-3 Purdue - 1-3 Illinois 1-4 When I looked at the West before I felt 6-3 could win it and I...
