Yes, Loon had great observations about games - a very knowledgeable guy. Wren, AKA, Walrus is well known for "Only Big10 wins count". I believe Loon got sick and tired of arguing with some of the morons on this board and left. I have enjoyed reading both of them.

My understanding is Dad was not happy with his son's "experience " at LSU - and I don't mean football experience - and Dad decided Fleck's program was what Jr. needed.

If you have watched Drake throw in practice you can see he has all the talent in the world - on the pre-game KFAN radio before the Penn State game Gaard interviewed Brosmer and Max raved about Drake's ability. Max said (not an exact quote - I'm paraphrasing here )" I have seen a lot of QBs both...

Cory Sauter says hello

I think Drake has all the physical talent in the world but still... he will only be a sophomore next year. I think Max has all the mental talent in the world so... could he stay around for next year to keep Drake coached up? I know he might get drafted but that doesn't always work out for...

I agree with all of the positive comments about Max, but one thing I observed, that has not been mentioned, is his ability to know/see/guess where the open receiver will be in zone coverage. We all know zone coverage has “holes” - spots on the field where the defender is not particularly close...

THIS !! Getting LOTS of exposure should be cheap and fairly easy. So many obvious things are not done or, as far as I know, not even tried. Listen to caliGopher - email, for all intents and purposes, is free. Lord knows, I'm bombarded with marketing emails everyday - if I were to get one...

Read with care if you are a member of the Athletic Directors office or your head might explode! Here are two easy to implement ideas to improve the Gopher Football experience. I am posting them here because I don't have Fleck's or Coyle's emails. I am hoping someone much better connected than...

When it came time to choose, I chose the North side because of the sun in the winter. As a child I went to many a Iowa State game sitting on the shady side in their stadium. Even thought Ames has a warmer climate than Minneapolis it still gets darn cold in the fall months. If sitting behind...

First a disclaimer - I have been a season ticket holder for 40 years and I still have trouble understanding why or why not a play worked. Take the following observations with grain of salt. We were on the sidelines and many times other fans or players blocked my vision. Drake Lindsey is big -...

$35,000 in 1960, when Warmath won the national title, had purchasing power of about $364,000 today. 6 million dollars today equals roughly $564,000 64 years ago. Come to your own conclusions. https://www.calculator.net/

Everyone knows the good leaders blame their sub-ordinates for everything that goes wrong. The only reason Fleck says "It's on me" is not to protect the coaches and players from ignorant, stupid, hyper-emotional criticism but he does it just to prove he is the top honcho - to stroke his own ego...

Welcome back Wren! I always enjoyed your posts!

GSU - Thanks for stopping by. Please continue to post - I always look forward to reading what you post. As the other poster said you are one of us. You are always welcome here. Good luck with health problems.

I have a score of 2000 meaning in the top 2000 "group" for loyalty awards including the suite seats. It is more than donations however, I have had season tickets for 37 (I think) years and that counts for a lot. I do donate but I am not a big hitter. For many years I had 2 tickets on the 50...

Northwestern will play one game at Wrigley this fall and 6 games, including the Gophers, at Ryan field

Does anyone know when fall practice starts? I couldn't find any mention of it on the Gopher Sports website. Also, does anyone know when the open practices will be and/or a fall scrimmage? When the spring game was moved inside, coach Fleck said there would be something in the fall for the...

I think this would make a good poll question. I don't know how to make one and I am not even sure they can be done anymore. If you know how to make a poll, I will buy you a beer if the majority of people agree with you. You buy me a beer if I am right.

Gosh, I was surprised to learn OSU had six players drafted in this years draft. I was expecting 20 or even 30 being drafted - maybe even some third stringers! :) By the way, the Gophers had 4 players drafted - maybe the talent gap isn't as big as it was during the Gutekunst or Mason eras -...
