If we play them at 11:00 AND 2:30, I like our chances to split. Our offensive line is going to wear them down that 2nd game.

As others mentioned, there was zero fear of Michigan State marching down and scoring a TD or FG with less than a minute left. We weren't playing OSU. So you have to give yourself the best chance to score a touchdown, so wasting 15 seconds could have been really critical. Fortunately they did...

I’m so glad this is the last game I have to watch this year.

The line at Ohio State was +14.5. They won. I'm not putting money on it nor do I think they will win today, but to say there is no chance is pretty ballsy as it ignores history as recently as exactly one week ago. Vegas will give you $100 for every $1100 you bet on Purdue moneyline today...

I hope you are right and respect your opinion as a coach. I will gladly eat my words if they show real improvement the rest of the season. I expected inconsistent play from the freshman. What concerns me more is the inconsistent play from the veterans Battle, Garcia and Cooper that you...

Too many of you are simplifying this into these two options: A) Ben Johnson's recruiting has been pretty good and we're going to win later because we have freshman playing a lot of minutes and Evans/Christie/Betts coming in next year. B) The freshman aren't talented enough relative to the rest...

Ok good point. I didn't say my memory was good, I just said I couldn't remember.

This is a HUGE get for the Gophers and coach Johnson! I can't remember the last time we had an elite shot-blocker and rim defender who could erase perimeter defensive mistakes. Maybe Pryzbilla, but that didn't last very long. Seeing what he can do offensively will be fun, but I'm most excited...

I for one am pretty worried about our ability to recruit great young punters going forward. If they're not getting game time reps here, they are going to choose Iowa every time! <nervous>

For my money, Drew Peterson has the most punchable face in college basketball. Not sure what it is exactly, not a dirty player or anything, just punchable.

I'll admit I didn't see all 49 minutes Thiam played, but I saw absolutely nothing in the minutes he had that indicated he will be ready to play in the Big 10, at any point. I realize many kids make an unexpected big jump in college, but it would have to be a night and day improvement for him to...

I need to get opponent FG % in here too, will do that later. Not fouling much doesn't mean much if you're giving up easy layups, but doesn't seem like that's the case.

Like many, I feel like I was totally wrong about Ben Johnson. I'm so impressed with the way he has maximized the strengths and hidden the weaknesses of this team that is short on talent, size and depth, especially for the Big 10. To the extent that you can "see" coaching in stats, I wanted to...

This is part of what makes this rule so difficult to interpret and enforce. Defensive player coming full speed at an offensive player at full speed. Offensive player either by instinct or on purpose lowers his helmet or even is sometimes falling down... Defensive player who would have hit the...

He absolutely did say that it was smart when it happened. He did say it was clearly a foul as well. He also said opposing teams are not a fan of BD, "because he plays so hard." I get that announcers maybe don't want to call college kids dirty players, but they know the history and could tell...

Watching Wisconsin and Texas A&M right now while I'm working, and Davison did the same cheap move, grabbed and locked the dribblers arm, refs don't see it and A&M gets called for travelling. Jay Bilas says its smart because the refs didn't see it. Not sure how you prevent d*cks like Davison...

I agree, but we never gave Pitino a pass on injuries either. (and rightly so) It totally sucks that they both went down, but its the coaches job to build a passable bench. Again, I think we all have low expectations for this year and Fox/Ihnen injuries aren't going to be the difference...

I will also eat some partial crow, as an appetizer, not a full meal. Really like what I see in terms of team defense, ball movement on offense leading to better shots, and overall smart play. They are playing tough, playing together, and seem to be very cohesive. I don't see a lot of dumb...

Like everyone else, I am incredibly disappointed and angry about the "not to lose" mentality of Fleck. Not only is it bad strategy, it sends a terrible message to the players. Not going for it on the road against your rival on 4th and goal from the 2? Where you haven't won since 1999, and...
